Benton and Bryant mayors predict who will win 50th Salt Bowl

Tyler and I spent the afternoon on opposite sides of I 30 for dueling pep rallies. And I, I think I'm being told we have a few clips from earlier today. So, uh, let's check it out. I'm here with the mayor of Bryant and mayor. What can you tell us about the excitement and the energy out here? Always, always lots of energy. Salt Bowl Week. Everybody's excited. You kinda shut everything down and make all your plans for every, every, hey, what's up mayor? You know, a hot dog here. Yeah, hot dog, don't you? Now, as someone who has been, I'm both sides of this thing. We can count on you to be neutral. I assume it's been a few years since Benton's won this thing. Do you think this is the year they can get over the hump? Yes, we do. I saw that on the sign a while ago. Yes, we're gonna get over the hump. Matter of fact, Monday morning on the vine, I predicted Bent by seven, but now I'm up to 10 and the closer we get, the farther it's gonna be. Well, both mayors joining in on the fun and it was a great time out there. Very hot, but we had a lot of fun. I'm not sure if I want to be the mayor's bookie at this point. Well, Mayor Farmer did coach at both schools and he was instrumental in making the Salt B into what it is today. Which is a crazy thing to see. Uh, just if you haven't been there in person. Yeah, if you've seen the pep rally now, go see the actual game itself. Yeah, lots to look forward to. So.
