SCOTT RAMSEY: Welcome. Welcome to Nashville, especially after last year. We couldn't be more excited this year to have our 24th year of the bowl here in Nashville.

Just a quick reset, this is our second year of a six-year agreement with the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Conference here in Nashville.

But more importantly for us locally, it's our first partnership with TransPerfect as our new title sponsor. We couldn't be more pleased to have Kevin Obarski, their chief revenue officer here with us today, a lot of their customers and employees joining us, well over 300 of them here for the week to enjoy Nashville and Music City and their investment in the bowl and what we do as a community with the game.

We couldn't be more appreciative. Thank you, Kevin and TransPerfect.

I also want to recognize and thank Pete Weien. I think most of you know Pete, president and COO of Opry Entertainment, but also serving as our board of directors chairman this year. Pete has hung in there with us through COVID last year and obviously this year not quite all the way back to normal, but we're excited about what's in store for tomorrow at the game.

In regards to the game, we're excited to announce we've only got a few hundred tickets left for the game, so with the weather looking great, a full house, it should be a great atmosphere and environment for the players and the fans in Music City.

With that being said, a lot of cities present keys to the city, but when you're in Music City, our key is a guitar. So with that, Kevin and Pete are going to present kind of ceremonial keys to the city or keys to the bowl to Coach Brohm and Coach Heupel.

I want to welcome Tennessee and Purdue here. Obviously great relationships with their universities. We've enjoyed having them this week. Both have been just class acts. Their players have been a joy to host. We're excited about the game tomorrow.

Josh, Jeff, thank you for being here and being part of Nashville this week.

With that, we'll present the welcome.
