Good analysis, Rod. I too have to keep tempering this extremely early optimism with "It was Bakersfield in full scandal mode."

Hopefully we see more of the same positives against Wright State. And maybe some more bench scoring..,.

Or even a transcript. Would it be possible to run the podcast through an AI transcription service?
