Thanks, Gary.  I hadn't heard that.  I think I'll miss Adrian on the
radio broadcasts.  He's knowledgable about the university, the
football program, and its traditions.  He's not nearly the homer that
I've heard on other Big XII broadcasts (those guys down in Missouri
are pathetic).  I also like Matt Davison, but he doesn't have some of
the depth in the program that Adrian has.  Sorry to see you go,
Adrian.

And as far as the commercials go, how would I ever know what's the
going thing in agricultural products if I didn't listen the games on
Saturdays.  I mean, I see so few ag commercials on the TV anymore, the
radio is the only place to go these days.  8^)
