The final segment and setting you up for the A1 Automotive pregame show. Bach, if you would, one final time. Shout out those sponsors that make all of this possible. Yeah, guys, let's shout out to Amigos and King's Classic Advanced Medical Imaging. Ben Blacker of PRG, Berkshire Hathaway, Ambassador, Real Estate, and MWR Building and Fence. Thanks again to all the sponsors for helping us send you guys out there and get this coverage here from Las Vegas. yeah we're headed i'm headed over to the to the stadium uh i'm a mandelaide base i'll be right across the street um will be uh i'll check in during the pregame uh from the sideline at reliant

um just to kind of get a vibe and let you know what's going on in the building uh you know there's there's a lot of discussion over the battles of red and who you know the higher seed and the home team utah is the home team um for this one so getting to choose their uniform and the uniform combos and colors a little gamesmanship there bach uh like oh oh would you like to wear red no no how about no um so yeah that'll play um but there's swag back so the the football players got their own so they got the new travel gear uh shoes etc so all of that's exciting uh but then the the sRS distribution Vegas bowl committee they put together a swag bag and in this gift bag let me tell you uh these are custom

block you ready for this are you shoe guy yeah i like shoes uh custom custom you can customize them but these are the all white air jordan ones oh wow sir sir uh you can customize them you can put Vegas on it, you can put huskers on it, whatever you want to put on it. They've got all sorts of fabrics and decals that can go with the different color laces that you can have done. They also have these hats that are custom made that you can put on

whatever you want it. It's pretty amazing. The sneaker bag is top level. Thumbs up. For them, putting that together. The hats are custom. You can put family names on them, jersey numbers. on them you can put you know anything you want on it they give you a it is a full size

Las Vegas Bowl robe oh nice yeah it's it's a robe boss a Bach let me tell you you could you could take you could take naps in these robes these are these are some definite baller robes this is like okay they didn't go they they they they they They didn't go cheap on it. They went top of the line with these roads. So there's going to be all sorts of Oscar players with new bathrooms. They've got the new blender sungrap glasses, different colors, different tents, different shapes. Those are pretty well done, I have to admit.

And then that you have this district, you have a blanket, but they also have these pullovers, these full, fluffy pullovers. So, yeah, the swag bags didn't do bad. The moms and dads of Husker football are going to leave Vegas with several bags of goodies. Amongst them, these players will all have new Air Jordan ones, the lows. They didn't go high top. They went low, but still, not bad. Be sure to ask Farley whether they got Air Jordan ones back in their run for their bowl games.

It would be pretty cool to compare. I'll ask you, because you know I won't do it. What is your prediction, kind of, I mean, I kind of went through this the other day is that, you know, I, I'd love to sit here and then I'm obviously fully cheering for the Huskers and think that there are paths to get there. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a great matchup for Nebraska.

And Nebraska just hasn't shown the ability over the years and Matt rules far enough into his tenure now, too, that it goes on him to rise up and win these games. And so, you know, I think I said earlier, or something like 3817. I mean, I could see it getting away from Nebraska. Again, at the same time, you know, Kansas and Kansas State, we're fighting right there in the fourth quarter with Utah.

So don't be surprised if Nebraska is able to hang around. But unfortunately, I get the spread. I see the spread. I understand the spread. And so I think that that's probably where you're at going into this game. And again, a big part of that goes to that question that you let off the show with. Or we talked about in the first segment is who is going to be the leader for Nebraska on offense, who's going to be the one to break out?

And if you're, if, if like you and I, I mean, you have trouble answering that question, then it's going to have trouble for me to have a whole lot of confidence in that pick, especially then at that point now relying on the defense, which has been run over at certain times this year going up against a high power at offense. Again, I just don't think it matches up well for Nebraska. So I think Utah, you know, I have to be the bad guy here, but I think Utah probably wins this one a little bit comfortably. but I would love to be shocked.

I'd love to be surprised. Yeah, you, you've never shot away from heel activity. That is perfect. Boogie. Yeah, right, right. Oh, and Bach, as soon as we're done, I've got a graphic to show you, but you have to promise to share it on social media.

Just I'm not even going to, I'm not even going to hint to what it is. I'm just going to send it to you and let you marinate in it. It is its own thing. Don't go anywhere. A1 Automotive Pre-game show begins immediately after we end up here, turn of the clock, 12 o'clock, 1230 kickoff here in Las Vegas. I'm going to head over the building and get some vibe going back.

Let's see, let's see what Allegiance Stadium is about. Five years old, six years old, you know, effective tomorrow. So go big red, be kind of your so, have a great end to 2020. and be kind of yourself in 2026. I'll talk to you soon.
