You're listening to one-on-one with DP, sponsored by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul, on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticket FM.com. Final segment, one-on-one before we handed over to Bach and Farley. We're talking about, shout out to Ashley Larson from LinkedIn Literacy. Again, August 23rd. That's going to be a full day that will be there from 10 to 2. to talk to chatters to come on out and broadcast from there the final two hours. I'll do the first two.

And then earlier that day, Todd Euler and family are going to do a full one. So we're going to have a really good day. One final read before we get out of here, Bach, if you would, please. Yeah, President is sponsored by Shwezo's construction where safety isn't just a policy. It's a promise. Shwezo is hiring skilled craftsmen, laborers, concrete workers, and skill directors who value quality work and a team that has your back on and off the job site. applied today at Shwezo.com, 40 years strong in business,

Shuiso Construction. Outstanding. Thank you, kind sir. We were talking about stadiums and the best football, game presentation experience, et cetera. Yeah, Magic, we will see you there. Thank you, kind, sir. Yeah, he's been supportive of, like, literacy.

Good to see you, Magic. Yeah, the best ones, and I think we landed on the fact that if the stadium, if the team is good, the stadium is better because, like, it's less about the aesthetics of the stadium if the team is always good. But then if you want to talk the best stadium and game experiences, if you take rivalry week and no matter which stadium it's in, it's a top tier event. And I think the rivalries matter. If you said, Holy World Utah, BYU in either place, either in Provo or Salt Lake.

You could put, I'd tell you what Oregon and Oregon State is really good. Washington, Washington State. When Wazoo is good, both of those places are well done. Notre Dame, when USC travels there or Notre Dame out there. UCLA and USC has lost a little mustard. Cal Stanford has lost a little mustard because the folks from Stanford aren't going to the games anymore. Texas and Texas A&M, no matter which stadium it's in, is elite.

And I'm not sure it's that way for any other place in Texas. All Texas home games are good. Texas Tech, Baylor, SMU, Houston's gotten better. So the big ones, like it's pretty good. Penn State, Whiteout game. I would say Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama in either place. Auburn, Alabama. Boy, they don't, man, that's saucy.

That is saucy. Mississippi and Mississippi State. Cowbells in Starkville is pretty exceptional. And then being in the backyard, hotty-toddy. always good. But the premier place, the premier football event to go to his Army Navy. And no matter where it is,

and it's been bounced between D.C., Baltimore, Philly, New York, mainly Philly and Baltimore, that that game presentation is top-notch. Would you, Adam has proposed before, Adam Kerker, has proposed to open up to make that week zero game and kind of open up college football season that way.

Of course, they end it as of right now, but sometimes that gets in the way of bowl games and now American championships and stuff like that. Would you like college football to open with Army games? No. No. I'm not sure I would know how to process it. I'm not sure. Although, you know what?

It's not terrible because it gets the attention. So if it was week zero, better than Dublin, yes. Right. Right. And I don't know what pressure puts on these institutions, right? These are academies, and there's a little other stuff going on. Correct. Where these football programs and games are not exactly the focus on priority.

It is also a great network and get-together situation. although I'm pretty sure the fans would love to be in a stadium where body parts weren't freezing. Yeah. And I have never been colder in my life than I have been at two Army Navy games, one in D.C., one in Baltimore. I've never been colder in my life. And that includes Nebraska and a bad black friday. No, not even close. So if they would move it up, I'm okay with it.

I'm good with that. And those are the best. LSU at night is a great stadium. Penn State at night's a great stadium. I don't like West Coast night games. Arizona State you'd said before you like. Arizona State, Arizona, we can do that. We can do that.

I don't care who's playing. I don't even care who's playing. Like, what are y'all doing? Notre Dame at night. South Bend, Indiana at night. And then any of the HBCU matchups, if you get to see Grambling and Howard, ah, yes.

Grambling in Southern. Mickey Joseph's have already invited us to Vegas to see them. They're playing in Vegas this year. Opportunity. They're playing Jackson State. So if you haven't gone to an HBC, you gave, go. But ask me first. I'll tell you which one to go to.

Don't go to all of them. We want you good. That's funny. Putting those together, Eric, is tough. Don't go anywhere. It is Bach. It is not. the black shirt.

Jake Blackhoven and Terrell Farley, the Hall of Famer, will join you here. Take you to 3 o'clock here on the two.
