Hello and welcome to the very first edition of Football and Grits of 2022.

It's January 3rd.

I am your host, David Ubin, here with my co-host.

As always, Andy Staples.

For those of you listening and those of you not watching,

Andy, do I look a little haggard at the moment?

You look like you've had an adventure.

I saw on Twitter that there was a little bit of an adventure traveling back from, was

it the Sugar Bowl?

I was at the Sugar Bowl.

And so I initially had scheduled my flight for like 6 p.m.

Because some teams have a little day after powwow.

Some of it's off, are off the record. They have those little sort of morning after sit downs, where you might have a couple national guys, some of the local media, those sort of things. So I was like, if Ole Miss is going to do that, then I'd like to be there for it. But once everything went virtual, I moved my flight to 7 a.m. Plus, we were having Christmas with my in-laws back here.

So there's a problem with that, Andy, which I don't think I realize until about two days before, which is that I left the Superdome press box around 2.15, I think.

Something like that.

Well, that's a no sleep night.

You know where this is going, and of course they have movie so I it's not worth that hour of

sleep no might oversleep you miss your plane so so I got back there's like the

there's like the post game you know like every sort of big bull does like the post game, you know, like every sort of big bowl does,

like the postgame media hotel like buffet, which was actually very strong.

Some shrimp and grits, fittingly, of course, some prime rib, a carving station.

It was solid.
