First game of the season, division rival, at home.

What's on your mind?

Man, just going out of executing, I think the hype of the game is already there, right?

Division game, like you said, at home, first game.

Other year in Loomeman, man, with the 12s, the fans gonna be there

announce on us to go out to execute and use, you know, our motto is the fans being our 12,

our 12 player on our team to go out to execute and do what we're supposed to do to get the crowd going. And from there, man, to keep executing to do what we need to do to get a win. What do you think people, they look at Derek Hall last year, they're going to see Derek Hall this year. what are they going to notice

is different?

I mean, the same aggression

and all that right, the players going to see Derek Hall this year. What are they going to notice is different?

I mean, the same aggression and all that right, the players going to be there, but being more poise,

How far along was this truck? No, it was just nothing. It was completely stopped. And you did it all the weekend? Yep, I did it in the day, actually. My boy, my boy, Ken and Cody that came over with

Put it on, got it out of there Saturday, spent time with the family, helped the sister move, and came back girl this Sunday morning, so I enjoyed the break. All right, so paint the picture for me. When you're working on a truck, you got music plan, you got

food out, like, what's

the scene? Yeah, you got, like, food out.

Like, what's the scene? Yeah, I mean, the main thing is all the shop doors open. I've got to have

some air flow through there. But music, man, just hanging out, rolling around in my little chair,
