TJ MathewsonHOST
I mean, that's fair.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
I think the one that stuck out to me more, like I talked about, is the Astros trying to compete for a division and starting a dude named Lucas Spence, an undrafted outfielder from two years ago out of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
We actually do have a friend that went there and played baseball there.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
Shout out to him.
Chandler RomeHOST
But I think just – I wrote a little bit this morning just about his journey here, Lucas Spence's journey.
Chandler RomeHOST
And I think it really just underscores why, as Sarah Langs would say, why baseball is the best, right? This was a guy – he was a two-way player at SIU Edwardsville.
Chandler RomeHOST
outside of Chicago in Illinois.
Chandler RomeHOST

Annie FryHOST
Would love to go back and experience that.
Annie FryHOST
I'm so glad I had that college experience because I grew up in in Edwardsville I went to SIU Edwardsville I often will see these colleges and the you know Saturday atmosphere around a college football game or something and I'm like I didn't have that like that college experience in that regard I didn't have but the wild country days were good do you have a place you is there like a place in your mind that you can like close your eyes and see the placement of the furniture or the smell of the room or the tone of the lighting
Ryan WigginsHOST
mean going back i mean just since we're talking about college going back to the apartment i lived in for one year my senior year of college that was such a wild place and not because we were like drinking and going crazy it was just it's that period of life where you're away from home you're fully an adult but you have almost no responsibility yet or anything no major bills or at least i didn't at the time and you you just exist to basically kind of get through class But then mostly to hang out with people.
Annie FryHOST
C's get degrees when you spit that out.

Austin BurklundHOST
And that was including the big 10 opponents that you would want to see, whether that's Michigan at the time or Michigan state at the time, you would still see spatterings of empty seats.
Austin BurklundHOST
Now that's not the case at all, even against lower tier opponents like an SIUE, like Oakland, People want to come to the games.
Austin BurklundHOST
It's an event, and people want to say that they saw top flight talent in these games.
Austin BurklundHOST
100%.

Bill DayHOST
High school, I played for CBC.
Bill DayHOST
I was firmly entrenched as the backup goalie for the season's 90, through 92 on JV 93 state championship season.
Nick LucianiGUEST
The reality of our level is that being Division I program, we need the Division I caliber and the higher platforms are what produce that.
Josh TylerHOST
Nick, can I kind of follow up on that too? And SIUE is mid-major, so I don't mean any disrespect, but you also have Power 4 programs that are at a much higher, I'm sorry, but a higher level, right? So if you guys are only hitting those levels, right? You know, you're talking the UNC's, those power fours, they're not even, those guys at the number one on our aisle, probably not even getting a sniff of that.
Josh TylerHOST
Is that a safe, is that a safe thing to say?
Nick LucianiGUEST
Yeah, I think like, for sure.
