To the show, Chris Lee, Vandy 24-7, and of course, Southeastern 16.

0:15.5

Chris, thank you so much for making the time.

0:17.4

Always a pleasure to have you on.

0:18.9

Yeah, good morning.

0:19.6

Can't wait to do this.

0:20.9

This season is just so much fun already, and I think there's so much more of it I had.

0:26.4

Yeah, and you were telling me off air, man, the media requests are come flying in. That's

0:31.9

But if you'd said, hey, Chris, you know, a year from now when they play again, it might be up for legitimate debate on whether they win or not. And by the way, Alabama's not bad. I don't think I'd have believed you.

But that's where we are.

1:47.1

And I think honestly, if you want to go back a little bit,
