Ahead of the event on Thursday, Jason spoke on the impact that he and Travis hope to have with the live taping and why they chose to return to UC for the episode.

“Obviously, Travis and I are both incredibly honored and it’s crazy that we’re being put in positions to do stuff like this,” Jason said. “Any time we come back, there’s just such a wave of emotion and memories that really hit you.”

Jason Kelce twice earned second-team All-Big East honors in 2009 and 2010 at UC, with the latter year including a position change from left guard to center.

“You spend so much time here, and as a student-athlete you’re so invested into the football program and university, you’re here nonstop and it’s such a big part of anybody’s career and life, that whenever you come back, it definitely hits you full force.”

UC said the schedule of events will remain the same despite the venue change from Nippert Stadium to Fifth Third Arena due to rain.
