You gotta want this one in them!

Seize this opportunity.

Every single chance will get.

We are live in Miami from the side of tonight's national championship game between my Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes.

You're looking at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, which is directly behind us as we say hello and welcome to first take

everyone on a very special national championship Monday. I am Shay Cornette. He is Stephen A. Smith,

you hear those beats, Ryan Clark, Cam Newton here with us as well. The guest list is long.

Yeah. He was shivering. He needed a heat and blanket. Stephen A, every day. Oh, it's so warm down here. That's why I don't come to New York. You lie. You lie. Big one. They're absolutely right. But only for today. It'll be back to normal tomorrow. My apology. When we all go back to New York, thank you for that. In the meantime, back to Cam. Cam, what does it like to wake up on a

national championship Monday like today knowing you're going to compete for a Natty?
