Hello everyone, Brad Lugge, alongside Ben Garrett and Sulu Upadea here.

High Comp the Fresh Box of OxyWay Stadium, 41 to 10, the Rebels to feed Duke Lane. They've got Georgia on deck in the Sugar Bowl in a couple of weeks. It was, Pete Golding's very first game, his head coach at Ole Miss, after Lane Kiffin heads off to LSU. I had questions about the offense, but apparently today, Ben and Sudo, it was all about the rebel offense, 41 to 10, Trinidad Chambers, a monster day, played injured, 23 or 29 for 282, one touchdown, and then Kwan Lacey 15 for 87 on the ground, Ben, and it was a really big day for Ole Miss's offense. It was a really big day for Ole Misses Office. Are you going to interview me or just hand the mic back and forth? First, like, this is what needs to be known. This was what needs to be known because I have the mic. Brad lost his little microphone piece thing back when we did the pregame show, which was amazing. Thanks to all of you who showed up. But now he's trying to blame me so we have have one, Mike. He's got to interview me. And yes, Brad, it was a big day for the offense. Once they got

1:32.2

off script, though, it was kind of hairy. And honestly, while Pete Golding, I think admirably went to

1:37.2

bat for Charlie, Charlie Weiss in the post game, it was an uneven day. And there are question

1:43.7

marks about Ole Miss in just a Charlie Weiss offense moving forward. We'll see what that means. But, dude, it doesn't take away from what I think was a perfect Ole Miss State. Now, interviews with the one month. I got it. All right, so, dude, let's talk about the press conference. And it was one in which Pete lit a couple of bombs drop. But for the most part, what did you take away from the press conference and it was it was one in which uh pete lit a couple of bombs drop

2:02.4

but uh for the most part what did you take away from the press conference i mean it's just it was

2:05.8

just pete i actually tweeted out a picture i noticed that he had changed out of his khakis into shorts

2:10.1

and i just tweeted out the man's in shorts what a ball coach you know everything the guy does

2:14.1

just screams ball coach right and even the language everything about it um obviously he said he's trying to work on that, you know, and maybe that's a good idea. But I know the fans are loving the way he's just attacking this situation. He's getting this opportunity that he's worked for forever. And he made the most out of it today. And the press guy, it's just, there's no fluff, man.

2:34.8

There's no fluff.

2:35.6

There's no dressing. It's just Pete Golding. He just is who he is. There's no ulterior motives. It's just you're getting what you get every single day with the guy. And I think that's something that's going to translate really well for this fan base who dealt with, obviously all the

2:49.8

despite all the good stuff there was always drama

2:52.6

with Kiffin with Golding it doesn't seem really well for this fan base who dealt with, obviously, all the, despite all the good stuff,

2:51.8

there was always drama with Kiffin, with Golding. It doesn't seem like that's going to be the case. And I think that's really refreshing. And let's talk about that fan base. You know, we all saw the fans earlier today in our pregame show and it was, it was a zoo. It was a big time zoo out here tonight. So have you seen anything like this?

3:08.0

I can't say I have. I mean, I've been in some pretty incredible environments here at the VOT, but I just, man, from the entire game day experience, just the energy of the fans. I mean, the constant noise staying, you know how many people were here after the team walked off the field? They were in their seats at the VOT, taking it all in. I can't say I've seen anything like it. And, you know, I thought Vince McMahon was running the pyro today because, I mean, good God, man. Like the amount of fireworks, and it was awesome for the game day environment. You know, Chuck made a great point. Chuck Ronsville mentioned, you know, people used to clown Pete Boone for doing daytime fireworks,
