ButIf Nebraska gets through this regional, what two or three things have to happen?

I think, I think you have to have two or three bullpen arms, you know, come in and, and do the job, right? Especially if you're throwing Yase tomorrow.

And then you need a guy like Jet Buck.

You need a guy like Rhett Stokes.

You need a guy like Joshua Overbeek.

You need a, an unsung hero to come through in a big spot.

Uh, we already talked about, you know, your dudes need to being your dudes.

Right

Like, he is

way good.

Yeah.

I sent a buddy of mine who's wanting to know about Arizona State, so I sent him a YouTube video just of some Arizona State highlights, and I said, well, Hairston's their dude.

And the first text I got back from him was like, he's little.

Yeah.

Ben, as you're looking at kind of the setup of the NCAA baseball tournament as a whole, how much have you allowed yourself to kind of look at potential super regional matchups or anything like that? Or have you stayed pretty dialed just on what's happening in Lincoln this weekend?

I mean, of course, I'm a college baseball nut, so I'm always kind of paying attention to what's going on around the country.

You know, I think the Oregon regional with the three former Pac-12s is really interesting.

I think Mason Edwards pitching at Bluebell Park and College Station certainly has my attention.

And then certainly, you know, what's happening at the other host sites like Kansas, right? That's going to be a very tough regional for the Jayhawks to get out of in Lawrence.

But, you know, in Nebraska's sake, if they were to get out, likely a matchup with Auburn again in a spot that we're very familiar with.

you know, I, my, my, my attention has kind of shifted, you know, looking at the ballpark that I've been to a billion times in my life, seeing all the NCAA banners up, seeing the, the, the Lincoln regional out in the left center field.

I'll give you the other matchup because you mentioned the region, and I'm a big Nick Lewis guy, and he's going to give Oregon State, and they're a little light-hitting, man, and would not surprise me at all to see Washington State beat Oregon State and that it's the other really, really interesting two, three to me that may not jump off the page at you unless you take deep dives in the college baseball.

They're just so fun to watch.

If you can keep it in the ballpark, like Advantage Nebraska.

See Lowe's.com for more details.

Yeah, they're aware.

They're aware.

I mean, their kids are on their phones, and this is what they're playing for.

Like, this is their goal.

And so you better believe they're paying attention to what's going on.

You know, they're following the RPI, which is at 12 this morning, by the way.

How much of what the actual conversation was is parallel to what you were actually thinking about what the bleep is taking so long?
