0:00.0	Good morning, Buck Downers. Welcome to the Buck Nuts
0:29.9	Morning 5 here on Wednesday. I'll get 17th 2022. I am Dave Bittel. I am very
0:35.2	happy joined by the people's champ Matt Baxindel. Back off of his was at a two
0:40.8	month vacation back oh two week vacation. We're happy to have you back though my
0:45.1	friend. Unfortunately we have to start with some bad news. I feel terrible for
0:49.1	Evan prior. Kid worked his ass off. It was gonna be the number three running back
0:52.7	but not your typical number three tail back of course was gonna have a roll on
0:56.2	this offense. We'll get into it. I mean obviously we feel terrible for him. Your

1:32.8	well from this and is able to make comeback of it next season. We've seen
1:35.5	running backs in recent history and it was you that have unfortunately not been
1:39.2	able to rebound from some of these injuries and so hopefully Evan Pryor who you
1:45.0	know want himself a lot of fans coming into last spring and saying hey I'm
1:50.0	here to compete I'm not going anywhere I'm not going to the transfer portal. You
1:52.9	got to hope that this is an opportunity for him to bounce back and hopefully
1:56.3	next season we get to see a lot more of him in the game. Yeah it's interesting
