SVPOP is presented by Allstate. Switch to Allstate and save and get protected from this year's Mayhem.

Welcome. It's SVPOP. Stanford Steve is here. I am sick. Oh, New Lean.

I don't know if I'm officially sick, but my whole house is sick, which means it's just it's a matter of time.

Hmm. So whether it's here on the show, it will reveal itself. Okay. I'll probably ill-tempered.

I'm in no mood. Okay. I'm fine. I'm fine. I just am blinders on. Maybe I work good. Head down. Oh, I'll leave the room. We'll just stay on the room.

We got Christmas coming. We're good. We're ready. We're good to go. I want to start with this because I don't want to forget it.

There's so much that happened. Insane, insane football, truly insane things that happen.

But if I don't talk about it at the beginning, I could forget. Forever, I have said the best venue in college

basketball is Fogg Allen Fieldhouse Lawrence Kansas. When I say that, the Duke folks are like, oh, well,

Duke's awesome. Phenomenal. Fogg Allen is two of Cameron. It holds basically twice as many people. That's all I'm

saying. Um, McCale's awesome. There are a million great, no, there aren't a million. That's hyperbole. There are many great venues.

I believe Fogg Allen Fieldhouse is the best of them. You were there. I you was in town. Kansas gave it to him.

Assess. Yeah, it's funny. Um, after the game and all the Kansas people are like, man, wish you got to see

a better game because that's when you feel the atmosphere. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I said, just stop.

You don't want a 22 point win against Indiana. Like, like, let's, let's not get overblown here and carry it away.

It lived up to everything, Scott. Maybe probably exceeded expectations. And it's hard to do now because

everybody knows what they like and everybody pumps up what they love. And hearing you say it,

hearing everybody that's been there, guys that cover the sport, people that work for ESPN,

that have been there 60 times in, in, in directing games, our guy Gus said, like, it's the best.

Every time it lives up for him and to be there and be inside and people are early for the game.

It's convenient to get there and everybody's there. I mean, school pride, city pride, area pride.

Everybody loves their J Hawks and to feel it amp up. And you know what, you know, it's coming.
