Welcome into another edition of the Josh Hendrickson show.

I'm Neil McCready.

I'm joined here in the Clark Ford Studios, as you might expect, by Josh Hendrickson,

the chair of economics at Ole Miss.

Kind enough to spend some time with us here on this late Wednesday afternoon of Game Week.

It's Ole Miss Alabama Week.

I'm getting everybody else's opinion on Lane Kiffin's Twitter on this game.

This is how big of a game it is for the rebels.

You're there on the campus.

Is there a palpable buzz this week?

I think people are excited.

I think that,

so I got here the last year of Houston Nut.

So I got to enjoy that season.

What a year that was.

That was amazing.

But actually, like there's always been a lot of excitement around Alabama even just when, because when Fries was here, you know, beat Alabama a couple of times. And so, you know,

people forget that like for college kids, what your historical record against the team is doesn't

matter. And so those years after they beat Alabama, it's like there were students on campus

that just acted like, yeah, this is just how things are. Right? Of course we beat Alabama. It's like there were students on campus that just acted like,

yeah, this is just how things are.

Right?
