Welcome To the 4040 preview of the Alamo Bull. Teams are playing at it. Not here to talk about them. You know that. Yep. Good for you, TCU. USC, you are also here.

I'm excited for you to do something whatever it's great yeah um i want to just use this as an excuse to talk about how melted my brain has become uh i realized in doing recording an earlier preview that we do have a bowl that has in the title of the bowl the letters for bowl otherwise incorporated in it that would be the goal bowling military bowl but i find that unsatisfying satisfying because it's just the word bowl, just used in a different circumstances. Okay. Valero, Alamo feels like it should contain all the letters in bowl.

You want to play this on Heisman mode. But it doesn't, right. Huh. So I've decided to give you a list of words that we could attach to the word bowl, and these words all contain the letters B-O-W-N-L. That's a great idea. Bungalow, Whistleblower, Wobble. Elbow, Snowball, Assembly Woman.

Now we're talking. Bailwolf. Bailworth. Okay. Blameworthy. Whalebone, blowgun, microwavable, Wolfsbane, overblown, and Snowmobile. These are all words that I think should have a bull attached to them,

specifically the Assemblywoman Beowulf Snowmobile Bowl. one of these companies has a microwave that kills people we might be closer than we think radiant technologies is ready to help you that's exactly the one i was thinking of yes can i just tell you assemblywoman bay wolf i don't even i'm not even looking at the platform i am got my vote
