My nephew needs me to record. See, I hate it. I already hate it. I hate it.

All right. We're back here on the Chase Thomas podcast from Stilt. The A for mention Chase Thomas

coming to you live from Knoxville, Tennessee, Everything School, HQ.

Joining me two weeks out from the South's favorite rivalry. Ryan Sylvia, Rocky Top Insider is here. Ryan, good evening, sir. How are you? I'm doing, I mean, it's the best part of football season. It's, you know, the robbery start to heat up. There's, Testy's got a game this weekend. It's kind of one of those, hope the mentals in the right space for the Vols before Kentucky and hope they don't look past this one against Alabama. That's, you know, it's one of the annual rivals. So I guess, you know, it's somewhat of a rivalry. But really, it's the weekend after when the balls head to Lexington, that things really start to heat up for Tennessee. It's a classic letdown look ahead spot. Yeah, that's exactly where I'm thinking, yeah. Yeah. And it just, I feel bad for the Tennessee volunteers because they have to like continually like wonder when they're going to play this game because it used to just be the final game in the season, you know, and we just knew that the, we, we put a bow on the end of the Tennessee football season with the very best. And now it's right after Alabama. So it just kind of clouds, you know, rivalry week, you know, because you're like, is it Kentucky? Is it Alabama? I don't know. It just, it makes it more complicated for the fans over these next two weeks about which way, like how much emotional investment is going to be required. Do they go to Lexington or they go to the Tuscaloosa? Like that's a big, big, I mean, big decision. Do you think of time game under the lights, both night games? Yeah, under the lights. We, I mean, we were talking before this. There's something special about Kroberfield under the lights. I mean, it's what college football is all about. It really is. 100%. I mean, it feels like we're KSR right now. I don't know what we're doing.

That voice. look at it and it's what college football is all about it really is 100% I mean it feels like we're KSR right now I don't know what we're doing that voice you hear making his chase Thomas

If you want to come back and talk Kentucky week, because Sylvia and I have carved out, what, Sylvia, three hours to do a full deep dive-dive? Because we wanted, we want to make sure we covered the whole history before we even dive into this year.

Well, we're doing three a day, correct?

Three, that's right.

And I don't get, like, it's just one of those deals where I don't even, like, I don't want to be right about this. I didn't want to be right that Ty Simpson was going to be really good. And Ty Simpson's the best quarterback in the SEC.
