Tyler really appreciate the time today.

0:05.0

We're recording this on Wednesday a few days after all Tyler, really appreciate the time today.

0:21.3

We're recording this on Wednesday, a few days after Ole Miss wears the real tree helmets for their win over Kentucky on Saturday.

0:29.7

What turned out to be just a postcard Chamber of Commerce Day in Oxford from the weather to the wind to the uniforms to the whole thing.

0:38.5

What was it like just finally seeing them on the field, seeing the whole deal?

0:42.9

I know it's been a long process, but kind of take me through Saturday a little bit.

0:47.4

Yeah, you know, I've been an Ole Miss fan my whole life, you know,

0:51.5

ever since I was three or four years old going to games with my dad and, you know, we're from Georgia, but always been hardcore rebels, uh, have been to

0:59.7

Falcons games, Braves games, but I can say Saturday was probably the most stressful for me and my

1:06.5

family and especially my dad. I think, you know, seeing his design, you know, finally make it on that

1:11.6

helmet. I think the first time him and Kiffin met on this was back in February of this year.

So, you know, it's been a long process just getting everything together and, you know,

1:44.9

our brand is to see you know that pattern on that helmet and you know when it came down to that final

tribe i was a nervous wreck i mean i didn't i saw nil i saw him on the sideline and wanted to go

1:55.7

introduce myself to him but i was so nervous i couldn't even talk to anybody. And I was really close to walking in

2:01.9

the tunnel and just whatever happens, happens. But I'm glad I got to stay out there for, you know,

2:06.7

that last however long it was, a minute and a half and see the other turnover. But yeah, it was,

2:13.2

it was pretty special. You know, as far as I can remember, you know, Ole Miss has only ever done a white helmet, powder blue helmet, a Navy helmet, and now this. So, you know, pretty surreal. And to see some of the comments from the recruits, just seeing the impact that it made there, hopefully, you know, that's really the big reason for doing this is to kind of stand out and be different.
