Uh, all right, Barton, do you want to give it a go again or do you want me to open it up?

0:03.7

No, I'll do it. What's uh, what what team are we doing here again?

0:06.8

Wisconsin.

0:08.2

I was constant. All right.

Three, two, one.

Oh, looking in the corner.

And welcome back to the cover three podcasts. He is Tom Vernelli. I am Barton Simmons and welcoming to the stand once again for the Hurry Up hot seats.

0:53.8

Counselor Chip Patterson. We are talking the Wisconsin Badgers, a perennial favorite in the big 10 West, but they got some competition.

1:05.0

Chip, how do you see Wisconsin shaping up this season? What's your opening statement for the badgers?

2:22.4

I think that that really becomes the narrative around a team that's competing for the big 10 title.

2:27.3

You know, Chip, you'd be a good lawyer because you're doing a great job of talking about the good things about your client, but you're not bothered to bring up some of the concerns.
