Let's continue looking around the SEC.

0:06.9

Another opponent that Mississippi State doesn't have on the schedule,

0:09.8

but I think a very intriguing opponent and our team in a program that I have,

0:15.6

we've had our eye on the past few years ever since Dan Mullen went down there from Mississippi State.

That's the Florida Gators. Graham Hall joins us now from Swamp 24-7 and Graham. I mean, the first question is kind of
