So, Ryan McGee, with all due respect, and I don't know if they deserve respect, but with

all due respect to Nebraska, on sides, barfing up the loss to Northwestern in Ireland

last week, I am wondering if you could describe the difference in feeling around the sport

that you live between week zero where that happened and week one, which is staring at us

right now.

Week zero, it's like, you know, it's the appetizer, right?

You might not even recognize it, but you're just so happy to have it when they bring it

in.

It's at the 7th course meal, you can't afford it.

Here's this thing, right, it has a French name.

I've no idea what this is.

It's pretty good.

It's not great, but it's just enough to get me excited for the fact that I know the

steak is coming.

I mean, the steak, the meat, the meat of the backyard brawl, West Virginia at Pitt,

his 17 in the country, tonight feels bloody and red meaty in ways.

And then we have like, yeah, the entrees, the big dishes, and you, your stomach, has

what kind of a scene going on inside right now.

As we speak, I'm about to head out to the airport and head over to Fayetteville, Arkansas.

And so what I'm telling you is, is that I don't know exactly what I'm going to eat this

weekend, but it will be slathered in some sort of barbecue sauce.

And that's it.
