| 0:09.1 | DBU on 312, and the snow is not my fault, by the way. |
| 0:14.3 | Both of my shovels, the right one next to the front door, one next to the back door. |
| 0:18.4 | I did not tempt the weather gods. |

| 1:21.9 | player. |
| 1:22.7 | And then we'll see. |
| 1:24.4 | And then we'll figure it all out. |
| 1:26.2 | The story coming out of it, too, is that Miami of Ohio, after their shocking loss in their tournament to whoever, who beat them? |
