| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, welcome back to Go Big with B with your host, me, Bailey Retega. |
| 0:12.4 | We are back with episode six, and I'm so happy to bring on the first guest that is not a volleyball player. |
| 0:19.1 | We have Savannah from the gymnastics team, the new, |
| 0:23.3 | fresh Natty Champ. So welcome to the podcast. How are you feeling? Thank you so much. I'm |
| 0:28.8 | feeling amazing. Thank you so much for asking me on here. I was literally so excited. |
| 0:32.6 | No, I'm so a little bit of background about how we know each other. So, um, Sav and I are both a part of |
| 0:39.4 | the meta NIL Empower program. And that was how we met. And even when I came on my visit here, |
| 0:45.6 | before I had decided I was going here, I DM'd Sam and I was like, hey, so, um, I'm going on a visit. |
| 0:52.3 | And she was so sweet and answered any questions I had. |

| 1:26.7 | my fifth during my COVID year, and so I |
| 1:29.3 | decided to register and transfer to LSU, which it all paid off, obviously. I won the Natty this year, |
| 1:35.5 | one of the Natty literally like three days ago. Best experience of my whole entire life. I keep |
| 1:40.9 | waking up and just like crying. Like I wake up and I'm just like there's literally a first place trophy over on my |
| 1:46.0 | on my desk. |
| 1:46.8 | Like I don't know how to ask. |
