Welcome into the Govalls 24-7 podcast. I am Patrick Brown.

I am joined by Ryan Callahan.

We are a little more than 48 hours out from Tennessee's big, big, big football game against Oklahoma on Saturday night at Neeland Stadium.

I am excited for this one, a first and finally a night at Neeland Stadium.

I am excited for this one, a first and finally a night home game for Tennessee.

The dark mode uniforms will be out.

The fans, I'm sure, will be electric.

It'll be a great atmosphere.

Great light show.

Question is, will the game be great for Tennessee?

We will discuss that in depth here on this podcast. And, Brian, what are your, how's your week going so far? Good. You know, it's getting a little chilly. You know, I'm up here. If you're watching on YouTube, I'm up here in section double L, it looks like. It's getting a little drafty up here. But, you know, Saturday night, it won't be warm, but it should be fun.

But yeah, no, it's, yeah, weeks doing well, but it's sort of a, as I try to look at this game, you know, sort of take more of an in-depth look throughout the week.

It's hard to, you know, get a feel for what's going to happen here because you've got two teams

that in some ways both have some real issues and it's hard

to say which ones are more glaring going into this one so it's sort of an interesting game to break

down with a lot at stake for both teams yeah if you're watching on youtube this is the best way i wanted

to get everyone ready for the for saturday night with a photo of kneeling at night normally have a day

running through the tea photo um for our podcast background but i i wanted to get everyone in the mood

and get everyone excited for uh for saturday night and and all the lights and the fireworks and

the pyrotechnics and all that so uh found one from the last dark mode game game, which would have been Kentucky from last season. But, you know, I didn't want to have most of it blocked out. So this is, we just have little circles around our head. It looks like we're floating, as Ryan said, in section, whatever. But yeah, we're just, we're just having fun here. So, but we're going to get right into it. we're going to talk about Wednesday night's SEC availability report, as we usually do on the Thursday podcast.

We will talk about what's going on with Tennessee's defense and can, is there a fix imminent?

And then we will talk about this game with Oklahoma, which Ryan, I think, is a pretty clear cut college football playoff elimination game.
