The Welcome to one till Saturday. My name is Chris Vanini and we have a packed house here today. I'm joined by David O'Bin, Ari Washerman, Max Olson, for a mid-summer mailbag episode.

We're going to talk about the pack 12, Alex Orgy, the SEC, your favorite

college football announcers and a whole lot more. We've got text from you guys, we've got

voicemails from you guys. But first, we're going to start off with a little bit of a

farewell on this episode. This will be the last episode for Ari Washerman and Max Olson, who will be heading off into parts unknown in the

near future. You'll find out more from them. But guys, thanks for being here and I think we'll just kind of

open the floor here first for Ari if anybody unless anybody else wants to jump in.

Sure let me first say that working at the athletic from the beginning, 2017,

you know all of us were there from the beginning or close to the beginning that this job has been my greatest professional

joy helping build this place up and seeing what it has become and all the things that the

athletic will continue to be I take personal

pride in that I didn't really write anything to to say right now other than I'm very

deeply appreciative of the advancement that the athletic has had in my career and the

place that I'm going is going to be exciting and all the things that in my future I'm looking forward

to but I will definitely deeply miss the until Saturday feed. I will miss you guys. I will miss Max and

Yeah, I'm just am humbled and flattered that you guys allowed me to be on this show for as long as you did and if you listened

and you're a fan, I appreciate every one of you.

But again, this is not a funeral, as our producer pointed out before the show, we're not dying.

We're still going to be covering

college football and hopefully you'll still be able to hear us but you know the until

Saturday feed will continue to lay great work and do new exciting things and I'm

happy that I had a piece of the foundation of that and
