We are the Athletics Big 12 podcast on the Annie Staples Show and Friends podcast feed,

and we appreciate you listening.

As always, my name is Max Olson.

I'm joined as usual, but my colleagues,

Jason Kersey, our Oklahoma expert, and Sam Con Jr., our techsper. So what's up, guys? How are we

doing? I'm good. It's so exciting. I'm ready for football, man. I mean, we got a little bit

last weekend, but I'm looking

forward to a full slate. It's an appetizer for the main entree right now. It's game week, baby.

I'm ready to go. I wouldn't, I wouldn't call that Nebraska game. It was for Illinois.

A football game did occur.

I don't know, Jason, did you think it was kind of borderline erotic the way that

they pulled that off?

I mean, you had to be happy to see Bert rolling again?

Brett Bilema is back, and I will not call him that because that really pisses him off.

So, um, yeah, uh, so I sort of learned not the hard way.

Um, did you? Okay. Well, I didn't call him that. Someone else at my outlet called him that. He called me to,

uh, yell about it. So, um, really? Yeah., wow, let me just say that for the record.

I like Brett.
