be back here uh as much as I complained about it being a week week last year last week that's a lot

of weeks in a sense um this week all the fire all the brimstone

um and if you were every time i started getting nervous i just google lane kiffin like alleviate

some of those butterflies and that's been entertaining so i'm good okay do you have butterflies

about this game on saturday well i honestly i it was just kind of fun because it's kind of like the little kid in me. Like, I get butterfly is just like anytime Tennessee plays. Like Tennessee, like it doesn't set in all the time at the same time, depending on the amount of game, you know, the how big the game is. But like even like 828 last night before we tipped off against rice like that night, like, feeling in your stomach. Like it's going to be, yeah, it hits. I just Saturday is going to be, I'm glad I have a jam packed Saturday with family coming in because it's, it would drive me nuts having to walk, pace around and wait for this, this game on Saturday night at 7.30. Yeah, like, playing golf in the morning. Yeah. Like the 7.30 Road Florida game is brutal.

Like just having to sit with it all day.

And then having to stay up for what will be an anxiety riddled night.

That's just, hey, it is what it is.

Alex Arcus, the UT Daily Beacon is also here.

Are you going down to Gainesville,

Alex? We will be in the swamp. Okay. Caleb, are you going? You know. That was it. No.

Alex, have you been down there before? I haven't. This will be my first time, so I'm super pumped.

Okay. This should be big. Yeah. I'd say out of the trips that I've been on this year, this is the one I'm most excited for. Really? Why? Just because it's the swamp, and I've always wanted to see it. You know, it's one of those bucket list places. And it's a night night, and we got a night game, thank God.

So, uh,

we wanted the, we wanted the noon slate. Let's be clear about that. I wanted the 11 a.m. Like, let's give, you almost the LSU death valley treatment. I'm an unbiased college football fan here, guys. This is, you know, I'm excited for this atmosphere. I'd never question your journalistic ethics.

When I think journalism, I'm excited for this atmosphere. Look, I've never questioned your journalistic ethics.
