00:00 magnitude of this game is known by all the fans and people that grew up in
00:03 Mississippi, but as someone who's kind of played in it, how would you kind of
00:06 describe this rivalry to someone who might not know it that well?
00:10 It's intense. It's a great football game to watch. You know, if somebody out there
00:14 has never watched football before in their life, I think it'd be a great
00:17 introduction game for them. Obviously, there's a lot of passion, there's a lot of
00:21 tempers on both sides, but yeah, it's a great game.
00:23 Has there been kind of any extra juice or energy at practice this week, you think?
00:28 Yeah, I would say so. You know, you try not to get too overworked with it. You try to
00:33 almost treat it like any other game, but there is another element of passion and
00:36 intensity there, and we're looking forward to it.
00:39 I know y'all obviously, you know, winning this game last year. I mean,
00:45 what was that kind of, you know, winning a big game like that last year, what was
00:49 that kind of like? You know, it was a great moment, especially, you know, that
00:54 was our last game with Coach Leach, you know, and that's what kind of always
00:58 sticks in my mind, you know, being in the locker room with him after the game.
01:01 It's something I'll remember forever, you know, seeing him happy and, you know,
01:06 enjoying that time with my guys, man.
