one uh the blue one with the cactus coolest pullover I’ve ever seen so it is on the way like it demet I’m G let you have the next pick here and if you don’t pick this then we need to shut this podcast down because there’s one clear-cut answer for best pull ever he’s like a big hit he’s looking I can’t I can’t hear you that well really you what you can’t hear us I mean I can but it’s like it’s hard to it’s hard to understand what’s your favorite HomeField pull ever um I don’t I don’t know because the Florida wanted like the coolest looking one but I can’t like Florida I can’t put that thing on my body I can’t dude how was it not two lane the two lane one is the best one by far um I mean I would have to say I mean I think that Florida State one is sick too but two lane yeah yeah the two lane had I New River my pck two the two lane head is is electric I brought it with me to uh to Hoover to piss off all these power F losers um yeah I recount my B but you win you win you win birthday boy let’s jump into it yeah um one more thing before we start start uh if you guys are happening to listen to this before 8: a.m. Central Time we will be on bar stool’s wake up miny tomorrow Tuesday 8 am with uh the King of the South as they call him and he wants to know about college baseball so we’re here to teach him out uh teach him how the sport is played and uh man just how the SEC tournament is run so that should be a good time I think it’s live um he’s had a couple hiccups on that show before that have gone viral so we’ll try to stay clear of that um also for anybody that’s watching the YouTube we got the Astros game going we got the Astros game going floor level on Jack’s phone we got a hockey game going on over here so uh we’re we’re pretty distracted in that this giant hotel room they set us up with I just have I just have one tip of advice if is wake up miny G to be live tomorrow it’s gonna be live but apparently there’s a dump button so we’ll uh on on a 10c buffer right yeah yeah yeah all right well do not let him bait you into any self- sabotaging tactics that he may use um just keep it calm Collective and just stay focused on the topic do not drift off like miny does sometime and gu us in trouble and we might never have another I think our approach is like we’re going to take over the show and just okay take over and yeah we’re just gonna we’re just gonna pepper him with questions that uh he’s not ready to answer can’t you see The Vibes already this is giving big- time Step Brothers energy why don’t we interview you and then we’re just gonna Ambush him because I think that’s our inner Demitri move I think Demitri if you were on his show I think you would turn it on its axle upside down so we’re gonna channel that energy bring the show to him and not give him any time to think about it uh we’re trying to make an impression I think the barcol gentleman and uh and Nation would be pretty damn lucky to have us on board and talks some baseball for him so just a thought just a thought yeah we’ll see how it goes but uh man he’s a good without further Ado best time of the year is here for the listeners why don’t we just Dive Right into this conference also I’m gonna bully Kyle Peterson into letting Jack in the SEC Booth this SEC tournament needs Jack Del longa on the call so if I have to kidnap Kyle Peterson lock him out of the broadcast boo sneak Jack in there I’ll do it and because I’m such a good friend for for this guy’s big day I’m gonna hold Charlie cond Hostage to make sure that we can mend any possible broken fences even though I don’t think they exist uh and he’ll be all on board the 11.7 bandwagon as well yep Fair that’s our agreement so I’m going to write down all of our picks our graphic will be out on Twitter tomorrow with all of our conference tournament picks as we do every year um so I guess we’ll just start alphabetical order and go through them through them allall hey you’re the king whatever you want to do res God I can I add an amendment because I’ve been so IC just in life with my investments Will’s gonna help me make my picks today that’s why we brought him on board and perfect so it’ll be the will the will and Jack pick we’re we’re making some money this week yeah hypothetically hypothetically Investments unless the Sportsbook to sponsor us then we’ll we’ll spend our money on be here we go ACC tournament baby let’s run it up um we got Miami Louisville so the way the AC tournament works is uh Ben what did it four let me just explain the conference tournaments I got them all memorized right now uh ACC tournament a lot of fun three pools or sorry four pools of three teams and the uh the pool winners for each one uh advance to the semi-final single elimination from there and uh the seating is broken down like one two three four and then four Place five backwards snake draft six seven eight nine all the way back to 12 so 12 teams in it and uh dude even if you’re the 12 seed like or 11 seed 10 seed if you’re Georgia Tech Miami if you just win your pool you’ll be in the semi-finals and you’re two wins away um the odds on this through bet Rivers is pretty interesting you can get some really good value on like really good teams like Wake Forest I think was plus eight or 900 you mind sharing your screen there and pulling it up um but like so a lot of people let me just go on a little tangent here a lot of people that I’ve seen like on on social media and like just podcasts and things like that they typically do what most college baseball analysts do and that’s like what has happened in years past right like who has who has won this tournament in the past who has done good man like there between coaching changes and like obviously players moving around and transferring out you can’t look at your past you got to look at teams that are playing good baseball right now and on top of that like teams that uh need to win like there’s between like Louisville Georgia Tech Miami pit like they’re probably not in the tournament if they don’t play well here so uh don’t go off of like previous years for these type of tournaments yeah so I mean p a North Carolina W forth pit pool B Clemson Louisville Miami pool C NC State Duke Virginia teag Pool D Virginia Florida state Georgia Tech so I mean you could argue Georgia Tech Virginia Tech Miami and pit are all need to win the tournament to get in right or at least have a good showing like pit H absolutely has to win the tournament I I think of Georgia Tech or Louisville like make the semifinals like they should be comfortably in because these are all going to be like quadrant one and quadrant 2 games neutral site um and like it’s gonna help strength the schedule it’s gonna help rbii it’s gonna help at all so Georgia te 47 probably needs to make make it out of pool play and get into the semifinal to have a shot yeah and and like one more thing that like gets thrown around all the time in college baseball terms that if you’re new to the sport you might not know what it means but the the whole stolen did thing that was you oh [Music] sorry I thought I might have said something I thought I thought I might have said something wrong still um no but anyway so like the term stolen bid gets thrown around a lot and so I did some research and I did some like very quick just uh thinking and going through everything there’s like 12 possible stolen bids that could you know take away at large spots if somebody from like the American Athletic Conference wins other than ECU but like typically demetrian you can correct me if I’m wrong but it’s like between like 42 and like 46 is usually where that uh that RPI you know first four last four um debate comes in after depends if you’re if basically if you’re a mid- major you almost you have to be top 40 yeah maybe top 38 37 you have to be in that higher than that at the mid Majors power five depends on depends on obviously the name of your school the history of your school and the success because you can get in at the 51 if the bubble is weak or if you just you know just had like for example Pack 12 second place Pack 12 winner could have a 51 RPI and probably get in a some other conference like a Big 10 Big 10 can have a 4850 RPI team if they’re second place like I don’t know Nebraska or some for example Nebraska they’re not in that range but a team like that could get in and that 48 45 to 50 range you can get in at the power five at the mid major no shot I think the committee is gonna have some serious questions to ask and answer for when you look at and I know we’re talking ACC right now but when you look at the bubble kind of looking in on the outside in the SEC three teams four teams I believe with 13 17 record when you look at Florida and LSU versus when you look at the ACC at Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech and Louisville right are those going to be teams that take away in my opinion some really rightful and deserved and earned mid major programs that finished with 40 wins on the season and I think that RPI number and then obviously strength of schedule is going to hold a big test and that’s why I think when we talk about this ACC confence it’s what’s gonna be so fun is like I I think Georgia Tech Virginia Tech Louisville they have to go make a run at this damn thing so they’re going to sell out this week which will make it so much fun like for example like for example Oregon 19 and 11 Pack 12 46 RPI one spot in front of Georgia Tech I think I mean Oregon finished third in Pack 12 I think Oregon is safe right now to get in but Georgia Tech at 47 RPI but 15 and 15 in the ACC they need to get a win or two in Durham to get in so that’s like the difference that’s the difference right there 46 47 RPI but two totally different resum and team yeah I agree so so let’s make our picks pull up the uh pull up the odds through bet Rivers obviously we’re not sponsored by bet Rivers but they were the first uh actually I think they’re still the only sports book that has made odds on every single Conference tournament so uh that’s SEC right there where’s ACC should be third so we got Clemson plus 450 North Carolina plus 500 Virginia 600 uh and we say like 600 we mean like six to one odds for anybody that doesn’t gamble but um Duke Inc State Wake Forest Wake force is at plus 800 Florida State plus 850 Louisville plus a th000 Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech both plus 12200 and then pit plus 2400 Miami plus 2500 fellas make our picks um I think there’s a lot of value on this board this is one of these tournaments where uh not necessarily the best seeds always win it um so what do we got you want me to go first or do you guys want to go first you started up my boy look I’m going to go here um a team that’s just been playing unbelievable baseball and uh we saw it happen in 2021 uh I look I I’m sold on this NC State team and you get plus 7 seven and a half to one like I like their I like their pool matchup as well with some of those teams um yeah I mean I I for me I’m looking for a team that has depth on the starting on the starting pitching side but then also just reliable Bullpen pieces and like who would have thought that NC State would rely on three freshman out of the bullpen that have just been nails for him lately so give me give me NC State plus 750 that’s my official bet but I will say if you’re looking for a long shot this pit team has the pitching to make a run in this thing and like just enough magic where like they need to win they want to win don’t let pck get in the semifinals like that 24 to1 is crazy for a team that just beat um who they just beat in in a series two out of three two weeks ago hey Florida State April since April 5th through April 7th weekend after NC State got swept at Louisville Series win at Clemson Series win at H North Carolina um they split with Florida State one game got rained out Series win at V at Virginia swep way forth I mean literally went through the gauntlet of the ACC and one one one through it they’re the best Carolina Florida State Virginia W four all I mean like I you you you have to be crazy not to think NC State can make a run in this tournament so um I’m gonna need you guys to take your eyes off the stupid [ __ ] hockey game I’m looking at you I’m looking at you I’m locked in on every wi you going pack uh I’m I’m I’m going with NC State here okay all right so I’m going to hit clean up and I’m glad I am because as a bad hypothetical investor I bring in a financial advisor to get me right I have the best looking Upton brother in the house with me uh I I completely AB with all the NC State picks Cooper Coniglio Jacob dudan and then Ryan maroon those three freshman that you mentioned Ben were as good as advertised when did 19y olds throw 92 to 9 five through three Innings straight so I’m all on the NC State pick but I need an adviser who do you like good sir so I got two key Concepts on how you become successful um and that is postseason history and that is people that need to win that’s Virginia Virginia’s on the bubble right now it’s a host and they went to the World Series last year Virginia’s been in this heard it here first we said the captain we’re a walking Super Regional team my financial advisor as As Good As It Gets Griffo farell is basically Captain America give us the Cavs plus 600 give us the Cavs all right so we got Virginia NC State Ben and you’re with going with NC State yeah I’m going yeah I love it all right next conference what we got all right um next tourn uh next tournament we’ve got on the board is uh uh oh my God why are we not loading up load up boy this is a great podcast Lo that boy I will say while you’re figuring it out people are so out on W here we go borderline national America East I’m still obsessed with weight Force there’s gonna be a ton of value as a two SE Regional somewhere all right here’s the American East bracket uh it’s six teams top six teams uh one and two seeds get a buy so you got Albany versus UMAS alol and then Binghamton versus in jit playing and then Bryant and UNBC in the uh uh just awaiting the winners of both of those games it looks like a traditional double elimination very similar to like what the uh socon had when I when I played in the socon in 2016 2017 and uh man I I don’t know the odds I don’t remember the odds but I’m telling you right now like I love this NJIT team they uh they’ve had postseason success in the past obviously and there was something that happened last week or two weeks ago with them that was special I I don’t remember what it was but they beat somebody like maybe Brian or UNBC by 10 or 12 runs twice like it was it was a big time win I’m taking NJIT plus 320 don’t need to waste time give me the Highlanders in those blue pajama uh costumes as you call it Jack calls and costumes uniforms I think I have to take I think I have to chalk this one and just take the chalky pick with Bryan I mean they’re they’re they’re just the clear-cut best team in this conference it’s not even close um I think they went yeah they went 17- seven won the conference by three games not even close give me Bryant give me the bull dog my advisor seems to agree with you will what do we like Just Lay It Go Bryant cool all right here here’s where I hit you with a Lee Coro not so fast good investors listen to their advisers I won’t hear UNBC golden retrievers coolest mascot in college baseball shortstop Dawson barani a kid from all the way out Idaho made his way all the way to the east coast I’m gonna ride with the retrievers I took him in the regular season guy I take him in the postseason there’s a little magic there I know there was some on the hardwood I I I promise to continue to ride with you but I do like UNBC here I’m so surprised none of us picked Binghamton plus 1200 they were our preseason favorites we all three picked them they’re plus 1200 sitting there for one of us to take yeah but you’re you’re an investing odds [ __ ] so Jack you’re going so Jack You’re Going H you’re going you Maryland Baltimore College yeah yeah UNBC golden retrievers really really cool mascot Baltimore County golden retriever yeah all right American the American Athletic this is I say it’s every single I can’t believe I’m repeating myself but the American Athletic Conference has an unbelievable tournament Clearwater Florida minor league ballpark for whoever um 9:00 am 8 AM central time they will be playing in the de of the Florida heat and it’s UAB versus Witchita State uh the five versus four matchup but listen so you get UAB witch State Rice versus East Carolina Charlotte versus UTSA and Fa versus two lane don’t worry about the first round matchups this is a tournament where I I I think every single year somebody comes out of the losers bracket and and wins like six St eight games to win it uh East Carolina did it maybe last year or two years ago all these years are blurring together now two years ago because Tain won it last year yeah that’s right Tain won it I think out of losers bracket last year but anyways we get uh e ECU minus 150 big favorite there UTSA who did beat East Carolina in a weekend series plus 300 tane another team that just swept East Carolina two weeks ago plus 500 then you get witw State 750 FAU 12200 UAB 1200 Charlotte and rice both 2500 listen I’m gonna go huge huge Underdog here because this is I mean every year we get stolen bids right and this is the prime example of a conference that that a stolen bid can happen if anybody besides East Carolina wins this conference tournament it’s a stolen bid and like someone from the ACC or SEC or Big 12 is going to be like sitting at home instead of playing a regional I’m going Charlotte plus 2500 yeah friends with the coach that is ridiculous odds love ridiculous odds for a talented Charlotte team that like obviously they haven’t put it all together this year uh sometimes the offense has been unbelievable sometimes the pitching has been unbelievable they have not put it together they qualified for this conference tournament the last weekend Series so give me the 49ers coach Woodard they’re going to a regional plus 2500 I would bet this at plus 1,200 half of the odds um this is crazy I mean this is there’s no Buys in this tournament there’s no like advantage to any seed it’s just 1827 3645 give me the Charlotte 49ers that is unbelievable they’re 2500 give me uh that’s a bold take to take a team that’s three and seven in their last 10 um usually that I I don’t I don’t like that that’s just a free [ __ ] donation um anyways uh I’m torn here guys I really like FAU at 1200 and even if it wasn’t H just straight up I like FAU um I like witch State um I just I think you know what F I mean FAU I think when FAU plays well they can do well which tell stays same thing they weren’t supposed to be good this year they beat um they beat everybody’s expectation I think nobody disagrees with that but the team that just swept East Carolina going into the tournament give me two lane I you I can’t fade the team that just knocked off the top dog heading into the tournament rizot it’s a beautiful pick on on behalf of HomeField apparel we thank you it is the best pullover in the bag I kicked to my advisor here this is a weird conference what do you like I would never invest in this Conference tournament because East Carolina’s the pick all day every day but I’m never uh laying laying 150 on it um they need to host they need to win it all to host so they’re gonna win it all never would would invest in this yeah I have a hot take if anybody’s like a daily investor someone that wants to you invest in some games hypothetically I think rice beats East Carolina tomorrow shut the hell up no way Parker Smith on the bump on a Tuesday I don’t think treya Savage is pitching for East Carolina um rice is going balls out they clinch the last day of the regular season you guys could I I’m telling you rice plus I think they’re plus 350 tomorrow just to win I think rice upsets East Carolina tomorrow that’s my that’s my bold take of the day okay well when you’re right you’ll be brilliant all right well I will say this we’ll lock in hey we’re gonna go chalky chalk chalk I think East Carolina has to win what was once a guaranteed National seed because of regionality NC State’s GNA host North Carolina’s going to host wake is borderline Duke’s borderline Chapel Hill will host East Carolina has to go win this thing so they will we’ll take the Pirates I know we’re not gonna lay it but we’re gonna lay it oh this is this is all right let me set up for this one this the the ason tournament one of the best brackets in college in college uh baseball tournaments so the top four seeds are based off of RPI um they play pool play three games top three Advance the last place team in the pool does not advance to the semi-finals so you got three semi-final spots locked up meanwhile seeds five through eight they play a double elimination like Regional style four team uh tournament did you say I’m not right oh never mind I’m talking about y yon Alvarez is not right right now um anyway so the bottom four teams 5 through eight they play double elimination tournament the whoever advances out of that will make it to the semi-finals and then it’s just you know single elimination from there listen boys we don’t need to spend too much time here we are all Austin P fans uh the the golden spikes committee Team USA they they done Austin P Dirty by leaving off ly Miller Green from the uh semi-finalist of the golden spikes that’s besides the point there is some drama in this tournament fellas stetson’s head coach um quote tweeted Austin P you know ason Champion Steve baby yeah um quote tweeted Aus Championship post and said spoke too soon not so fast blah blah blah and uh and I I I’m hearing around the ason that things might get chippy in this tournament might be out for some bad blood for both sides there’s a lot of teams that don’t like each other in this but who are we kidding p plus 200 two to one odds best offense in the nation one of our good friends Roland Fanning he will be in a regional probably the Georgia or Tennessee Regional it doesn’t matter but uh they’re going to do some damage in the postseason they are electric give me Austin P plus 200 uh Florida GF Coast plus 300 ston plus 3 uh 325 kenesa Jacksonville libum they’re like between five and 800 East Carolina and central Arkansas 900 and 1200 respectively so y’all make your picks you know what’s crazy Florida Golf coast and ston are both significantly higher underdogs than Austin P all three of them tied at 20 and 10 in the conference standing um they’re also all three the three hottest teams in the conference seven and three s and three 8-2 in their last 10 Florida Golf Coast winning five straight I like a Florida team to win this tournament it’s between golf coach and ston for me and I mean honestly it’s a coin flip for me I think it’s just a matter of who gets the ball to go their way one time that double down the line Fair foul I think that’s the difference in this these kind of tournament so uh [ __ ] this this tournament at ston too don’t forget give me give me the hatter oh good I’m so glad you did that Mr pent talk uh here’s what I’m gonna say really quickly because I know I could go on for hours about this go ahead and take the governor let’s move on to the next one hash oops hash oops reigning true in all of Nashville Tennessee right now there will be no doubles down the line because the team that leads the country and homers will hit a 100 of them this weekend give me the goves green shoes on go damn it on go golden spikes will be in the land this week if you guys want to watch him lmg I didn’t even ask my final I think hey that’s got to be your conference Championship Game Hatter governor oh God you must watch television Ben and I will go broadcast from Left Field all right e uh A10 tournament A10 tournament we gotta kind of fly through some of these one bid leagues uh we’re wasting a lot of time but A10 tournament um St Louis gets the the buy it looks like a seven team tournament yeah George Washington Richmond St Jose BCU UMass Dayton St Louis gets the Buy U odds you can pull those up now but look I’ve been a Dayton guy through and through all season I think they’re the most talented team you get them plus 350 um at at bet Rivers St Louis plus 150 VCU plus 200 both pretty you know heavy uh favorites there and then everybody below that like George Washington UMass Richmond and St Joseph’s like between donation donation donation yeah plus 700 plus a th000 so uh yeah I mean I think this is a three horse race like I can see Dayton VC or St Louis all winning it good clubs really good clubs well coached um but yeah give me give me the Dayton Flyers give me the Flyers look and fly um at Capital One Park in Tyson Virginia who knows where the [ __ ] that is so that does not play into my choice at all just give me Dayton and that’s it um I I’ll say this last year that the final seed did win this tournament it’s not going to happen this year because unfortunately that team will not be attending the tournament uh they chose not to go the George Mason Patriots they just didn’t want to um I’ve removed myself from the equation I do like dating I get a closer uh Nick wisman who’s got like 11 wins and six saves he’s like electric out of the back end subie guy so I do like him a lot but I go back to my financial advisor to get me right uh I’ll go VCU no idea why yeah yeah that does check out they’re really good at baseball I’ll take vccu Comm VCU I actually do have I have sources that have told me VCU is hey not a terrible pick I I do I do like VCU there I think they put together a nice little season but um Fly boys Gonna Keep on flying hypothetically investing it’s those reasons that I Big 12 tournament Big 12 tournament crazy bracket fellas it is a I mean I can’t even begin to explain it basically the one and two seeds get a buy and then uh depending on who wins the uh the three versus 10 four versus n uh five versus eight and six versus seven like the lowest seed goes to the one seed and the second lowest seed goes to the two meanwhile like you know let’s say VG or West Virginia and Texas both win as a three and four seed they advance to the winners bracket semi-finals I don’t know man this is something that I think they put together last minute this bracket has never existed and it will never exist again the Big 12 bracket is a nut job but it’s like just fun enough to keep up with what’s going on four games a day every day double elimination um everybody’s trying to boost their RPI a lot of bubble teams here on the Big 12 like between UCF Kansas State Cincinnati Kansas TCU like everybody’s just fighting for a spot to get into the NCAA regionals I would say three of them get in two of them get left out but like if I’m making a gut pick here I I am riding so hard with the West Virginia Mountaineers I believe they’re plus 625 they were our pick a month ago to go on this big 12 run that has happened the last three years uh Oklahoma did it in 2022 uh TCU did it in 2023 just a team that figures it out late we’ve been bouncing it back and forth between Texas and between West Virginia and uh I’m going with West Virginia looks like they’re plus 650 here Oklahoma uh the favorite plus 350 Texas plus 450 Oklahoma State plus 500 all the way down to Texas Tech who’s plus 1500 um look I would not invest in Kansas State Kansas Cincinnati or Texas Tech their path with this crazy bracket is just nuts but anybody from like UCF up UCF TCU West Virginia Oklahoma State and Texas and Oklahoma like I I would look at those to invest in I think you still get pretty good value there I think it’s so funny that Oklahoma State got the two seed while Texas had one more conference um win but they got the two seed based on winning percentage which is fine but uh the ODS definitely show that they’re going with Texas at the second favorite over Oklahoma State um so who did you go with again I went with West Virginia plus 650 book it West Virginia 650 you know what I do UCF in Kansas state if I had to pick a long shot I really like those two team to maybe play well in this tournament but I’m I have to stick with Texas here I think um they never play that great in the Big 12 tournament and I think this is their time to shine and honestly guys I think Texas still have a had like they not like they could play their way into a sawur Regional oh no no no no no no no Jack Texas is not hosting buddy I do I think there’s a shot I really do there’s not dude there’s not a single shot in [ __ ] in Hell 39 to top 20 rpis not happening this week buddy I mean they have to go win it they have to I mean they win it I just feel like the committee is such a recency bias like I don’t know it looks like the big 12 Regional they’re not hting dude oh you I don’t I’m not saying I want want them to but if you’re saying that the only two big 12 Regional spot hosts are ou or Oklahoma State and it’s looking like Oklahoma State Oklahoma state are the only two that can possibly host so if Texas wins the Big 12 Championship you’re saying that the Big 12 is not gonna get a host this year they’re in a very similar position the TCU last year like I’ll give you tournament and they were two seated at Arkansas I’ll give you this if West Virginia run rules their way through the tournament all the way the championship game and run rules to the West the championship game they still might not have a shot like that and there’re SE uh what is it sixth spot seventh spots in front of Texas the RPI West Virginia doesn’t even have a chance so I mean if you’re not in the top 30 this week you’re not hosting so um with that being all of that being said Texas is not hosting but they really want to take Texas to win the Big 12 tournament I just don’t think they have enough to play for I think they’re a two seed regardless of happened this week give me Oklahoma State good pick man there’s there’s a couple teams so if U and Oklahoma State both are in the like the running for a regional obviously they’re gonna be playing for a ton um to me we have joked about like who’s the big 12 team that could make a tcus run to Omaha like they did last year I think it’s TCU I think pton T is doing um special things in the game with a really special story uh I joked about this a couple weeks ago we kind of had him like slated in this top five ranking I think Jaylen Flores is one of the top three Short Stops in all of college baseball couple walkoff this past weekend against Kansas Nate your your Jayhawks had in Texas beat this weekend um but the best short stop in baseball is in Morgantown West Virginia that dude is so good there’s something special happened in Randy maisy’s last year I’m totally spit so I go to my advisor to fill me in on what he’s feeling um I’ll go TC with you yeah I like that yeah okay yeah K Kirk SOS what was the number what number plus 800 plus 800 no no plus 800 all right my advisor is is is is taught me up well we’re going to Horn frogs Kurt Charles is a r or die Carson Bowen maybe the second best catcher of um really really good pton T’s on an awesome story and uh T not to ro for here us the frogs so who you going with TCU TCU plus 800 all right um we’ve got oh this is an electric one we’ve got the Big East tournament at Pasco Park all you can eat Chick-fil-A all you can eat Chick-fil-A free entry free pizza free Chick-fil-A whatever you want awesome environment Mason Ohio four teams make it Yukon Xavier St John’s Georgetown four teams like still fighting for a potential at large spot too like obviously probably not Georgetown right now but like an unbelievable year for the Hoya look I’m gonna go here a little a little chalk but like this conference I I read an article or a tweet today sorry a tweet where like yukon’s only lost one big East series since 2021 oh [ __ ] which is crazy to me and they’re only minus 110 and I think you get really good odds uh give me the Huskies here so you’re going with the Huskies huh yep that’s a crazy stat give me give me St John’s Red Storm I think this team had what it takes to knock off Yukon this year and take that Big East title I don’t know how many Yukon had in a row like three three maybe four I don’t I don’t know um I think 2019 yeah and then Xavier got that large bid last year when the Vanderbilt makes a little bit of noise there I think the biggies has some juice I think they have some a chance to make make some noise for themselves uh but give me St John plus 185 is Yukon already in do you guys think yeah all right give me St John’s too I’m going to let will make the pck actually no I have to do a not so fast shout out to side retired pod not so fast I said HOAs I was going to let you take it give me the HOAs though I I I’m too far in deep with the voice I do I think you’re probably right but give me the ho all in so we’re going we’re going Yukon St John St John nope Yukon St John’s and they’re taking Georgetown we want the Hoya oh you switched to St John yeah I switched it I hit it not so fast on my advisor probably probably not great not great customer relations on my end all I know George Town ain’t winning that’s all I do know that is the guaranteed guarantee you guaranteeing that you’re not you’re you guarantee Georgetown doesn’t win guaranteeing that Georgetown did not win all right all right to the side retired pod that’s listening along they wanted you to come on and do their podcast with see you’re gonna go do it anyways because you love the brand so you’re gonna go jump on and when they win it you got to piss on their podcast correct let’s go they’re not winning is not winning good I hope all right boys we got we gotta fly we’re 45 minutes in we gotta fly through Big South tournament Jack uh you know more about this conference than anybody so just lead us off here uh Daniel Ean of Presbyterian College their Friday night guy might be he might be I think in my opinion a first rounder uh high point we are big coach Hammond fans UFC upstate’s got things rolling I’m a Charleston Southern guy called every every single one of their home games this year um so I’m gonna actually remove myself from the equation I don’t know anybody that knows more big South baseball than I do so watch this go with your adviser who do you like sir Presbyterian book it coach po congratulations my advisor says you win plus 115 Presbyterian for will I’m gonna take uh I’m gonna take Upstate plus 225 I think that’s not BEC I mean I like Presbyterian I like High Point obviously I did a Charleston Southern ESPN Plus game while Jack was out of town yeah he did great coaching staff but like Upstate is the I mean they’re the cream right they rise to the top everybody I mean I like this team a lot I loved him preseason preseason ranked him number 25 in the mid- major pole give me the upstate Spartans here plus 225 that’s way too much value me too give me Upstate I think they uh they just didn’t play great a couple weekend but I think they’re the best team in this conference talent-wise um they were the unanimous favorite to replace Campbell at the big dog in this tournament I think Conference tournament time either coin flip or best the most talented team will rise to the top so give me up stay spart no doubt about it and J me before we move on and you can go ahead and switch it can you I’m I’m taking a high point I’m hitting another not so fast I picked him at the beginning of the year Ben and I got flops on the ground at High Point North Carolina and since then they have been on a tear there might not be anybody more for the 11.7 brand and I invest with my heart so as much much as I love my advisor here we got to go with our heart here I’m going high point take High Point and let’s go fast I’m sorry High Point no more making switches this pen ink isens this P expensive I’m tired of Crossing out name writing new name down p pencil boy no more Crossing name though no more pencil you could eras is not free so if you but if you used a pencil this wouldn’t be a problem is what you’re saying are you guys ready for this one 2 a.m. start time I don’t know what Jack said don’t care what he said anyway Big 10 all right Big 10 tournament we’ll make it quick look I think there’s four teams that could win this like let’s take out Ohio State let’s take out Penn State let’s take out Michigan and let’s take out Purdue they ain’t winning it Purdue a take them out huh Purdue ain’t winning either take them I said Purdue I said Purdue laughs look I think this comes down between Illinois the top seat Nebraska the to or Indiana preseason favorite uh they’re the three seed and look I I’m going to end up taking Iowa here I I told you guys last podcast I was like look this Iowa team kind of fits a formula in the Ben Upton head of teams to look out for in the postseason they have the pitching depth like the offense is figuring it out like close like they’re so close so give me the Hawkeyes um I I just believe in this team I I think they’re possibly a Super Regional team too I think they have the depth they just got to figure it out and again I’m a big Iowa hater I did not think they were going to be good this year but they ended up being bad so now I feel bad and now I want to pick them to win the Big 10 IA oh [ __ ] I scrolled down um wait oh there we go that’s what I was doing let me get you guys these odds up here the Nebraska plus 200 Illinois 275 Indiana 425 Iowa 600 that’s some juice right there for the Hawkeye um I do like Iowa I picked them preseason I talked about them a little bit I do think they have what it takes to win this tournament you need pitching you need pitching to last year through the week and into the weekend um but give me Nebraska I think they were just the best team pitching hitting in defense what you need can’t make errors these tournaments are full of Errors they always are give me to Braska not to be so cynical like I have been all year at the Big 10 this feels like honest to God a one maybe two good league so I kick it to my advisor philson I hate to do this but um all my life always faded what Ben did he sold me on Iowa I’m all for him I think they’re gonna win it too I do too it’s a great pick go hawkey we have been talking crap about them all year it makes sense that we jump on the B bandwagon when they get it going yep can’t you see bro I think Iowa was a great pick I don’t hate it at all I think they can win it how fun would bre and burns and a regional shoot 100 100 105 everybody like yeaha tournament in Wilmington North Carolina William and Mary Delaware Hofstra Northeastern and then Charleston and UNCW get the buys as the one and two seed I’ve been a uh I’ve been a big charlon lover in fact like I went kind of Off Script and and posted a tweet from the 11.7 account and said Charleston’s going to be a Super Regional team maybe I said Omaha team yeah I said Omaha team look I think Charleston’s nasty dude I think Charleston is able to play with anybody look I know they got swept by Nebraska it’s no biggie whatever that was like February look Charleston’s playing good baseball right now they’re playing with a ton of passion the guys are are it’s a team team chemistry team environment plus 225 give me the Charleston cougars I think they win this tournament with ease they don’t even lose a game I I think it’s crazy that Northeastern is a bigger favorite than Charleston like I wonder what made them do that um I think Charleston showed they could easily be one of the best teams if it wasn’t for UNC Wilmington um Charleston beat UNC Wilmington two out of three buddy in Wilmington in Wilmington that’s what I’m saying like I like Charleston here and I think I want to roll with Char I’m going with the Cs as well I I’m I’m buying on the storyline I actually think that this is a three bid league and if you want to hear more about it go to caas sports.com or CA Instagram and Twitter I’ll be live with those guys tomorrow afternoon nor Eastern is already into the tournament and I think Wilmington has already earned an at large as well this is a three bid League it’s that talented I think it’s the top half is as talented as the sunbell Charleston needs to go win this thing I think they’re GNA for 49 RPI uh and I’m buying the storyline I I think Chad Holbrook is going to get the opportunity to go face his former team the South count game got inter Regional give me Clemson Carolina college Charleston is a three SE in Regional and the Paul Meadow state is gonna be off its rocker mind you that Wilmington is pitching is unbelievable nor Eastern’s got crazy star power the College of charson to me all three phases in the game this year and I know I’m biased because I’ve seen them a ton but they’ve been so impressive coaching across the board uh so I’ll take the cougs as well uh bet with your heart invest with your heart sorry will I’m riding this one pretty pretty strongly yeah I mean if if uh if Charleston wins this tournament this this conference can be a three bid League depending on how they treat UNCC Wilmington but I think UNCC Wilmington is by far in the way an 100% a post season team really good their RPI doesn’t show it but I think they should be a three if Charleston can win the tournament it should be a three bid League I’ll say this and I’ll be really quick Wilmington has like three first round draft picks on their team in my opinion like they’ve got legit first round Talent on the mound and Tanner thatch has been unbelievable if not one of the best first in the country than up there um man I think I think whoever wins this thing in my opinion could even be a two seed all right we got this Conference USA Tournament here FIU Western Kentucky this is another fun one it’s in Russ and Louisiana they put on a good Conference tournament we saw it in like 2021 I believe uh Louisiana Tech the host New Mexico State Dallas Baptist Middle Tennessee State Louisiana Tech Liberty Sam Houston State uh traditional double elimination eight teams no buys uh look I’m just going to go ahead and say it we don’t have to spend too much time on this Dallas Baptist plus 100 you give me even odds I think this team is deeper than everybody else I think Louisiana Tech obviously they beat Dallas Baptist two out of three but if this was a seven game series Dallas Baptist wins that series no doubt in my head um look don’t even look at New Mexico State don’t look at Middle Tennessee State don’t look at Florida International don’t look at Liberty like Sam Houston could pull off some Shockers like they they have a series win over Oklahoma State so like I don’t know but like just look at the top three Dallas Baptist plus 100 louisian Tech the home team plus 225 Great Value there and then West Kentucky’s pretty deep as well plus 350 uh don’t look any further than that though like just don’t I’m taking Dallas Dallas Baptist plus 100 and I got to take a leak I I really think DBU at plus money you’d never turn that down you never turn that down but even without all of that Dallas Baptist showed the whole country they’re top 25 team in the country they’re best team in Conference USA don’t don’t even overthink Patriot it’s that simple I’m going ltech um they’re the hottest out of the conference right now and um coach Burrows is the goat other than coach Barry shout out coach Barry it’s sou Miss um so I’m going ltech I I do lch I like that pig burrow have the boy ready to go it’s gonna be sick rzo what do you think is ltech have they already solidified in that large like if they don’t win it or they in what did you ask what do you think lot Tech is an at large bit like do they get in without winning this Championship because in my opinion I think they’ve done enough but I think they still have a lot out there to prove they feel that that’s that’s why I love my advisor there um I mean Louisiana Tech is for sure getting in the tournament they’re at 25 RPI they’re looking pretty um eight and nine top top 100 team yeah I think Louisiana Tech 4 win regular season title yeah Louisiana Tech is walk to make the tournament no matter what happens hey here’s a question if Louisiana Tech runs the table do do they have a chance to host oklahomaoklahoma East Carolina Mississippi State depending on what those teams do if Louisiana Tech sweep through this tournament and all those teams fumble the bag they could be sweat a little bit on H Sunday when they announced the regional host sites yeah that be good they could be getting a little anxious and nervous picture Regional was awesome there The Love Shack it was fun I think southern myth had had that happened to them last year two years ago they were on the outside looking in a couple things went their way and all of a sudden they were like holy [ __ ] we’re hosting at the peak so yeah all right anyway next tournament they’re going to spend three seconds on this everybody better take right state or you’re off the podcast yep I mean less than 30 second right state right State everybody all right similar to Army like they just win it every single year do not overthink it like look there’s some fun teams in there Purdue Port Wayne has won some big series Northern well I League done congrats to the pen Quakers Quake show rolls onen I’ll takeen take pen as well I did take them I take them for my regular season that’s a win all right Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference the M the ma um look I I’m gonna go with uh I was sold on this Niagara team but then I uh obviously I got disappointed with their showing against Fairfield like two weeks ago give me Fairfield give me the Stags they’re the only team out of this league that’s ever been a three seed so give me uh Fairfield Stags as the one overall uh I think they win this tournament we Niagara last week that [ __ ] didn’t go well for us I think I think usually what happened is when that when a series like that happens at the end of the year the other team wins the tournament because they’re going to meet again in the championship game the only other team that had the shoted Ryder outside of Fairfield niagar ryer I think it’s the ryer Fairfield Conference Championship Game Fairfield takes the title I uh Hey I’m going to take Niagara and this is kind of a cool story I went to Duke North Carolina to take in their Friday matchup we’ve got listeners 11.7 brand members all across the country I had a f like a random person I forgot to tell you guys walk up to me go hey I just wanted to let you know that weird story about the club baseball guy at Niagara was one of the cooler stories that I’ve heard in like the game and it literally made me tear up a little bit let’s take the boys at the Bobo give me Niagara I I know they didn’t take care of it at home I’ll ride with you’re pushing the time limit on this conference tournament sir it lasted 20 seconds and you have bitched and moaned about your pen and not being able to raise stuff next one all right we got the the actual Mac maxtion Bing green has run through this conference this year they started like 17 and0 uh they’re the one seed here Western Michigan we’ve seen some good teams out of this in Regional play with like the Ball State Central Michigan guys uh that have come out three seeds four seeds done some damage in regionals nobody’s Advanced out of the regional before look pull up the odds here I I think I’m might gonna go I’m gonna go on a fly like I like Kent State I liked him preseason a lot I know they’re the five seed in this tournament man I know who you’re gonna pick and and pick yeah I’ll take I’ll take Kent State plus 600 Toledo is not any good I saw him play against Mercer opening weekend Miami Ohio pretty I mean like they’re solid good ball players I think it comes down to Bowling Green and Kent State like I I really think Ken State should be probably the second best odds to be honest I like this team a lot so give me the golden flash W you went you did not go with the team of was thinking give me ball stay man there I think there there Time same Ball State team though Demetri I hate to tell you look I hate to tell you but this is not the same Ball State we we grew up watch no this is a good Ball State team that had some struggles early in the year they’re rolling now give me Ball State I think Bowling Green is the most fraudulent 24 win conference Champion I’ve ever seen all right I’m taking I’m taking Bowling Green now Swit switch me bowling greenus 110 right now I dude switch me to Bowling Green minus 110 right now that’s all I needed to hear they have the most fraudulent 24 and6 Mac team I’ve ever seen I’m right there with you give me Ball State all right I ride with my my advisor I Ball State as well I do like the Ball State Ballers yeah beautiful next one oh this is a good one this is always fun one tell at w c transfer all right all right we got the Missouri Valley Conference um really really fun Conference tournament every year H Missouri State UIC Belmont Southern Illinois Illinois State Evansville uh just two games on uh on Tuesday and then four on Wednesday uh Indiana State Mur State both get the buy as the one and the two seed look I think this is going to be a stolen bid like every year this tournament like dating back to like those Dallas Baptist days when they were in the Missouri Valley it it feels like a six seed seven seed eight seed they make a run last year I believe Missouri State got out of this conference tournament um it’s in Evansville Indiana and I am a big fan of Evansville the purple Aces we preseason ranked him number uh like 14 or 15 in the mid major pole give me the purple Aces at home they’re going to play that 10:00 a.m. game on on Wednesday against Illinois State when they win that they’re going to play I think against Murray State that night it’s easy to win two games in one day looking pretty give me the purple Aces Evans what are the odds on this and the odds are ever in your favor it doesn’t matter I’m taking purple [Music] Aces plus 350 Indiana State favorite minus 141 I wonder how they got to that number weird yeah 141 not 140 not 150 not 110 141 he don’t sleep don’t sleep on if you’re looking for just pure value here Illinois Chicago plus 750 finish like 30 bro stop stop stop stop stop giving horrible Financial advice I’m I’m not giving you hor I’m just saying if you’re looking for good value seven and a half to one is crazy for a team that played really really good throughout the conference all year I just don’t see anybody I don’t see anybody beating Indiana state twice whether I don’t I just don’t see Indiana State losing twice this week I just don’t see it I mean can you see them losing twice this week yeah the Southern Miss I can see Los Li that was the biggest lie non-confident an I’ve ever heard kill give me an Indiana State SI Go season everyone knows it I think ECU drops out just because of the regionality standpoint and I don’t know if I necessarily see them win their conference uh I think Indiana State might be the sole mid major to host this year um they take care of business and they do it with ease uh we’ll lay the minus 141 even though that’s trap as hell have you not heard it’s a six summer baby yeah yeah Ben you can go have fun in the kitty pool while we have a sick summer purple Aces is a sick name though purple Aces come join you at the kitty pool yep yep yep what’s the next tournament we got to get through this you you can throw Brooks’s little swimmy trunky thingy Don go swim in the kidy pool with him in the purple swimming trunkies yeah he did he did he absolutely they’re called floaties man way masculine way more masculine the floaties he loves the pool L get Hella bot are you next conference n EC if you guys are still listening I I mean I applaud you this has been awesome but like I’m sure as a podcast listener this is like really I don’t know I love this one me too I do too look the ones that I love the listeners hate the ones that I hate the listeners love we’re just trying to get through this Mountain West Conference actually not Northeast uh four teams double elimination dude take your pick I’m taking Air Force they fly games and giant jets it’s easy you’re taking Air Force Air Force plus 160 the favorite give me Fred the state man I’m going to ride with the team that we believed in from January um yeah give me Fred the state no doubt not this guy I didn’t believe him only one guy had Air Force all year Sam Co Singham is so so so good at baseball uh Air Force is the real deal they go back to a regional reminiscent when they went to that ausome game a run for their money give me Air Force Air Force wow you guys just made you guys making some big mistakes uh next tournament you guys are making some Big M only the YouTube people hey time out time out 30 second time out only the YouTube people will see what happened as you were saying you guys just made a huge mistake you click the turn off the camera button and instead of to turn off the share the screen but you made a mistake as you were saying that so I tried to share screen thing and I clicked the close thing like you know like that whatever whatever all right if we spend more than 30 seconds on this next conference then we’ll just end the what’s happening at w Pinger Fall New York what did you just say is the nor Eastern Conference tournament is in wainger Falls New York fairly Dickinson Mary Mac Delaware State Wagner Sacred Heart Long Island Sacred Heart long Island both

second all’s not even on not even on there yeah we just have five odds here we got Sacred Heart plus 150 marac plus 275 Delaware State plus 650 Wagner plus 650 why Long Island not getting any odds I don’t know because it’s because All Odds betters know that it’s such a lock that it’s unfair to let people I feel like yeah I feel like that’s such a lock of Long Island doesn’t even get odd yeah weird um but you know what give me you know what I I like this give me plus 650 Wagner I love Wagner now coach noto’s the man at Wagner great program over there awesome dude awesome coach I probably I love Wagner here I probably should have picked Wagner he’s gonna text me now but that’s too bad that’s you want to know why because we don’t go to our financial advisor all we say is shark bait Long Island I like long by a million also my Elementary School PE teacher was Mrs wag Long Island Long Island and Wagner all right hey uh stop watching the damn hockey game Stay Focus Ohio Valley I I was unlucky enough not to play in this tournament in 2014 we were the uh 10 seed out of 10 we were the only team that did not make it I believe but this year 2024 Mary and illino UT Martin the Skyhawks do make it to their first Conference tournament I think in probably 20 years uh don’t fact check me um but UT Martin Tennessee Tech siou Eastern Illinois Southern Indiana Morehead State Little Rock and Simo Little Rock Simo Southern Illinois and Morehead State all get the Buy in the first round um it’s actually cool uh this is the first year the screaming e Screaming Eagles of Southern Indiana they are uh they are postseason eligible for moving up from D2 good story look Little Rock plus 200 Morhead State plus 300 all the way down to SIUE plus a th000 I like Morehead State um shud I just forgot his last namey Brady Ward oh my God he’s going to text me too look it’s late at night little liquid courage there but don’t give this Morehead State team with uh with Roman CS 31 homers on the year breaking the OBC RBI RBI record state is your lock Morhead state is the lock of the century Little Rock’s got two guys that can really throw the ball Friday is an ace that you do not want to see as a one seed um but Morehead State’s offense is very similar to um to Austin P they can get the ball out of the ballpark it does not matter where they play can I give you a biger lock the Morhead State I will lock the Morehead State plus 300 yes a bigger lock than Morhead state they’re not even on the list they’re getting so disrespected they’re the best team in the Ohio Valley they call them the daddy of the ovc give me the seimo Red Hawks baby Simo buts Simo butt but uh also you you made that so dramatic everybody who’s ever listened to this podcast from 2019 now would have bet their mother’s life that you were gonna take Simo so like you could have just said like hey guys I’m taking Simo a Bo and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do Bray Ward who sent the freaking care packages Roman C who was also snubbed off the Golden spikes list uh Morhead by by a zillion this time Jack do not put your more State fandom in front of your Clear Vision the SEMO Red Hawks are not even listed neither are the UT Martin Skyhawks though yeah and neither neither were freaking Liu on the last one that r no way give me the SEMO Red Hawks I don’t understand how you guys can’t do it you guys just can’t do it you’re so your hatred is too strong dude I played Simo for a three- game series my freshman year and this guy I forget his name but he had a thre Homer game in like the old BB core bats just like balls yo ask huh ask ask ask if I care got him boom got him no Simo was nasty when I played tournament I’m war against him that was pretty good all right we got the Pack 12 tournament very similar to the ACC four PODS of three um or three PODS of four actually right I don’t remember um I think it’s four three it’s three groups three winner then your wild card yeah three PODS of four that’s what it was and the wild card is just like the best overall seed so like Arizona’s got a really good chance just to win one game and make the semifinals um obviously what is it uh three 12 teams make it way too many teams no it’s three PODS of three it’s not three group of three and a wild card nine teams make it let me restart nine teams make it three PODS of three there’s one Wild Card which is usually just the one overall seed if they win a game uh but there I I will say like when it gets to the semi-finals and the finals there’s always fireworks like you’ll see a score you’ll see a team score 20 runs in the semi-finals pitching depth not there but the uh the Pack 12 tournament is usually actually like since they brought it back two years ago like it’s always entertaining so like late at night you can watch this Washington versus Cal game and it’s a lot of fun um the odds here Oregon State plus 150 which is absolutely nuts that they’re plus money Arizona plus 350 absolutely nuts that the one seat is plus 350 you got Oregon USC Cal Arizona State Utah Stanford Washington I think if you won a long shot here a team that has only lost I think one or two actually I think they’ve lost two weekend series the Utah ut udes oh my god dude that was the easiest masch out of all time I just blanked on but the Utah Utes plus 1300 really really good value there it’s hard to beat this team twice um but with my gut with my instinct give me the Beavers plus 150 this team are healthy now they’re playing great baseball uh give me the Oregon State Beavers plus 150 right here right now done I mean did last weekend not tell people anything that Oregon State literally showed how big their their uh little private part was and absolutely mopped Arizona all over the field I mean like did anybody need to see anything more than that on who the best team in this conference is I I think it’s pretty clearcut Oregon State give me Oregon State plus 150 just like Dallas back whenever you see a team like this plus money just take them and and close your uh close the app and come back and um withdraw you’re winning I’ve educated myself more on the pack SW than ever before uh with that being said Shad out Lo beaves who’s coached me up on Oregon state but I have taken Oregon blindly because they do use pencil BS but I haven’t gone my advisor in a while because uh I apparently love giving my investments away so adviser what you got um damn dude buing you the anticipation and you just went with um give me Arizona they just lost the Series against Oregon State bounceback right here they’re gonna run all over everyone in the Pack 12 and um they’re gonna win it all you know what that was that was a home he just pull over I got my pull over coming I’ll represent that when they’re in the regional HomeField apparel shout out for this pack 12 pick let’s go vble bble bble you should just go ahead and work at Yeet bank and get everybody’s money yeed from their bank account terrible pick going with Arizona anyway bank would Next One Bank ebank.com hey Benjamin who would ever be crazy enough to this tournament all right we got the SEC tournament here boys uh I know a lot of people are probably interested in this tournament look there’s a lot of Buzz there’s a lot of hype but uh shout out to my boy Noah benick I was listening to a pod he he made yesterday and he had like this crazy stat where I think it was like 17 of the last 20 teams that have made a regional out of the SEC tournament um have made it to Hoover winning less than or one game or less in the SEC tournament I don’t know if that made sense basically teams that suck in Hoover do really well in the Regionals and the super regionals and make it to Omaha um obviously the odds here we got Tennessee plus 400 A&M a little bit behind Li at plus 425 Arkansas plus 450 then it drops off a little bit you get Kentucky plus 600 Mississippi State 800 Alabama 12200 with Georgia 1200 LSU 1200 Florida 15 vandero 15 and then South Carolina 2000 Old Miss 2500 really like all these teams are safe except for Old Miss to get in the postseason Miss I think does have to win or at least make like at the very least have a chance make the the SEC tournament Championship but uh dude this is as much as like spin a wheel like it really doesn’t matter um I’m I’m kind of in the favor I forget which account tweeted this out but like if you win the they should make it where if you win the SEC tournament you get a bid to Omar like just an automatic bid to Omaha oh to make things more interesting because you’re looking at possibly seven eight Omaha potential teams here uh as far as value goes I think Vanderbilt plus 1500 is crazy this is a team that is always played well in Hoover Uh Corbin has the boys ready they’re fighting for a lot right now um but is I I think I’m going to take it’s between Tennessee and Kentucky like I think both of those teams will come out play hard and try to win this whole thing the other ones I think they’re good after two games yeah they win two games and then they lose two games like they’re happy they get they get their guys work they get the red shirts or not the red shirt but like the the undere experienced guys um experience in the big moments I can just see like when I close my eyes I can see this Kentucky team just playing Full Throttle like just dirt bag baseball death by a thousand paper cuts I’ll take Kentucky plus 600 here the path is not that hard either as far as teams that like they’re going to play that don’t actually have to win so give me the wild cats um I I think they’re out to try to win the same but Tennessee would be my second pick here do you guys have any idea who the the lowest seed is to ever win in Hoover no it’s a good stat that hit me I think I think I I might sound crazy but LSU has a shot to win this tournament I don’t think they’re going to do it but I think people forget this LSU team still has talent across the field they haven’t put it all together they’re pitching needs to get better I wouldn’t be surprised y Sho playing him Satur on Saturday maybe Sunday no doubt no doubt I agree with that I I just can see it I can just see LSU baseball Twitter getting on their [ __ ] high horse again and ruining Twitter on Saturday and Sunday when they clink their uh punt their ticket to the championship game I I can just see it I can totally see it but with all of that being said I’m torn between two team Mississippi State in Tennessee you know what Vanderbilt and Fells Shu are like honestly like at the top of my my board of picking team they always play well there but give me a oh man I just don’t see Kentucky uh Kentucky doing it Arkansas I just don’t know if they have the bat to keep up in this tournament you got a hit Texas S&M is a great pick here good OD too hey shout out to Alex Box Warrior yeah I just posted a tweet just saying we’re recording the funniest podcast of all time with the Candlewood Suites Hoover Alabama right now Alex Fox Warrior said he wants a shout out so he is one of the most loyal loyal followers of all time he’s funny as hell shout out to Alex boox Warrior I’ll let him know we gave him a shout out too but yeah he’s a Die Hard LSU fan he wants him to win the whole thing again whatever they they ain’t GNA win the whole thing you don’t think hour 19 Alex Box Warrior he’s made all of us his profile pictures so big fan Demetri rgot who you picking though damn it um [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] get off on all right rizot do you want me to break it down really quick because I’ve got a couple different processes I’m gonna go through God remember when he yelled at me for making his pod Bong by the way do you guys remember that yeah I remember you guys remember that all right cool you know what [ __ ] it give me give me give [Music] me I want to Pivot here I want to have fun with this give me Mississippi State I like that pick Grace lonus friend of the Pod uh I gonna break it down before I hand it off to my financial advisor and then I’m gonna bring it back before I make my pick in my opinion Tennessee A&M Arkansas Kentucky have already solidified National host right I think Mississippi State and Georgia have already solidified Regional host so when you look at Alabama and LSU Alabama’s in you look at LSU Florida Vandy South Carolina they are kind of fighting for their lives like they have to win a game and Advance into that double elimination side which I think makes it really interesting where Ben has mentioned where not necessarily success in the SEC tournament equates to success in the postseason when it comes down how cool though on behalf of the 11.7 brain I want to give all three of us a round of applause when you look at the top three teams at this record for look at the odds Tennessee A&M Arkansas 400 plus 425 plus 450 all three of us took them preseason Round of Applause for guys that confirmed no ball give us one of these guys one of these guys there you go there you go for me can’t you see LSU winning this thing yes can’t you see and can’t you feel it I will say that the South Carolina Gamecocks gave you the opportunity to go you were right they really collapsed at the end South Carolina is even in their National Championship runs really notorious for not playing well in the state they have to they have to play well this week in my opinion though LSU’s playing with house money Tommy White’s playing with his hair on fire unbelievable right now Tommy White is playing with his hair on fire you’ve got Alex malazzo and Hayden trinsky their senior back stops that are like just feels like they’re putting their team on the back a little bit I’ve had everyone inside that Clubhouse reach out to me this week and tell me don’t let us get to the weekend just for the love of God don’t let us get to the weekend and let those Baton Rouge fans show up cam Little’s been spectacular out of the bullpen he’s looked like the cam little two years ago and one of those high draft pick guys we saw to high school Griffin Herring the Lefty who who really burst on in the scene last year today junior when when you said sat there and cursed for 35 seconds I didn’t say anything when I’m dropping baseball knowledge give me the tigers tigers I almost dropped a couple hallelujah hallelujah I had a couple guys all in I had a guy out out about TIG [ __ ] tiger all right next one I was gonna KCK it to what you like financial adviser Ben lead lead lead it here kick rocks I want my financial advisor to make a pick all right everything I’m about to say I’m going to regret in the next 24 hours but I think in 13 hours LSU is going to be eliminated um I think Arkansas is going to win it all’re they’re my favorite right now but don’t sleep on Alabama no one’s going to be talking about them the entire week they’re going to sink their way into the finals and they might mess around and win at all damn it will why to say that will should have gone first and you were yelling at me you should have let will go first those are really good takes they cuz I can see that way more than my stupid scenario I can see way more than my stupid look at God’s face so what at the pck so you just speak wisdom we got an so what is your consensus pick yeah I’m still gonna ride with LSU and Will’s probably rather be gone all right here we go Ben this is your bread and butter right here listen dude dude I just stopped off on my drive over here to Hoover Alabama I had to stop off at the Mercer baseball office had had to Hype up the coaches a little bit had to talk to them let them know a little strategy look Mercer 15 to1 to win the socon tournament is the easiest investment I’ve ever had to make I’ll tell you one fun fact everybody listening went to Blind Junior College uh 2015 no what year did I go to BL uh 15 yeah 15 anyways the same years that Mercer has made a regional over the last 10 years are the same years that Blen has made a regional and uh it dud it’s no coincidence the blind the blind Buccaneers of Brenham Texas have clenched the National Junior College Athletic Association njc I forgot the C National J they the blend’s going to the World Series for junior college and so uh Mercer makes a regional every time blend makes the NJCAA World Series Mercer plus 1500 shocking the world figuring it out look they’ve had a terrible terrible season but everybody will forget that four days in Greenville that’s all it takes 15 to1 is embarrassing for a team that has beat nor Eastern this year they have beat Florida State they have beat Oklahoma State they will win the socon tournament miraculously and I’m talking like the biggest Miracle of all time I don’t know how they’re going to do it they have four pitchers I think the rest are hurt or injured they’re going to win the socon tournament give me the Merc plus 1500 Ben why can’t we just move on and just be objective Gibson told me to tell you hello by the way Murph is goingon to be eliminated on Wednesday morning well if that happens then uh I don’t lose anything you just lost thousands and millions of people watching this money by giving them that advice well if you’re smart millions of people are about to lose money because of that 15 to one you kidding me that they don’t win it yeah guarantee it right you know what let me let me let me be the mature person here let me lead people to greener pastures Gold Line houses in free real estate for the rest of their life Stanford Bulldog plus 225 the easiest win ever um B sou CAA love love this conference and you know what I might just make a random flops on the ground appearances then my Gucci flip flop after I win the Stanford plus 225 bit my my hypothetical investment has has already said that I think whatever socon team gets out of this tournament is actually gonna win Regional so H money where my mouth is I love I love UNCG but I didn’t think they were going to be the the investment odds favorite so I let my advisor take over what do what are we feeling we’re taking the over in every single game that’s all I got there’s gonna be so many home runs yeah they play at floor field in Greenville South Carolina which is a complete replica of Fenway Park so you know Tuesday whenever you get there I think I hit three homers over the big the green monster and I’m a lefty like I was just trying to go Big Poppy style it’s fun ball flies uh Greenville is a fun fun tournament to watch all right so Jack what’s the final pick wford plus 500 T dogs by a million how about that crazy let’s get weird wford sucks they always e e e e e eord e I will say I will say citel doubled their conference wins last weekend they’re kind of rolling Tony SC the boys are feeling frisky let’s go all right we got Southland tournament here uh Demetri on three you and I at the same time let’s do it come on together one last time for the podcast three wait what make your pick I’m gonna count down from three make your pick I know it’s GNA be the same as mine southin just lock it in here lock it in here baby I’m countd down from three you make your pick okay three two one MC Cowboys go [ __ ] we do this give me MCN baby give me MC they’re the three seed H actually what are they they’re the five seed but they’re plus 700 and MCN just feels like they always win this tournament I know they didn’t win it last year whatever but uh dude there’s something about that 2019 team came out in cowboy hats and we we’re locked we’re locked into the mcne State Cowboys all day every day hey can you just not picture it MCN get off the bus tilted perfect got that Texas or sorry Louisiana flat ground boots are shining stirups are showing Cowboys are ready to play ball baby get MCN dude MCN back just pick MC the Lamar Cardinals are the perfect hot cold hot team and you guys have been preaching it all year that’s a guy don’t use our words against us the Lamar Cardinals plus 110 all day every day they’re about to get so hot at least go to a regional final if not a super it makes my investor financial advisor and I were thinking the same thing Lamar might be the best will we are the only people allowed to use the hot cold hot Theory to justify our pick and our Nar I agree with that he has not earned that he has not earned the hot cold you cannot use the hot cold hot Theory to justify a narrative you are not built for that as a patreon member yes I do oh paying customer in family I can do whatever the hell he wants and my best friend went to Lamar and I mean I mean his name is fade Ben for a reason so whatever got him over 500 records shout out Jason Blanchard shout out all right Lamar Cardinal that is all right here we go it’s about to get fun in here it’s about to get loud in here it’s about to get runchy in here here we go about tournament split I got this the boys will be the boys when I say the boys I mean Jack Ben and will uh we will be at the Sun Belt tournament uh tomorrow evening 4 pm Georgia State at Coastal Carolina 7:30 Al South Alabama at Old Dominion AB State Troy the next morning will be there Southern Miss versus either Georgia State or Coastal will be there as well um Louisiana gets the buy they get the one seed and then Georgia Southern James Madison dude one of my f like this is going to be a freaking dream to be at this tournament like any any college baseball fan that is dieh hard knows about the Sun Belt and how fun this conference is it’s in Montgomery Alabama about an hour south of here we will be staying in Montgomery Alabama Tuesday night uh watching those two games and then going uh staying there for the afternoon or morning and afternoon games before heading back to the SEC tournament um look I have a tweet from November you guys can look it up I tweeted out that the South Alabama Jaguars are going to be in Omaha this year shut I did it was the most random tweet of all time um I don’t I I remember tweeting it I don’t remember why I was doing some research South Alabama comes into this plus 2,000 that is 20 to one for you for you guys back home 21 20 to1 odds they have to win this tournament to get into the Regionals look I I think Louisiana Lafayette Southern Miss Troy like even Coastal Carolina great Seasons you’re probably if you just don’t mess up will be in the uh regionals but South Alabama is going to win this tournament 20 to1 I almost want to guarantee it they are the they are the nine seed maybe the e seed but South Alabama There’s Something About This team that I believe since November and uh that’s all I got I just I ran out of things you’re going with South Alabama going to South Alabama plus 21 look I’m I’m actually more confident in this pick than any other pick I if you’re an investor out there in illegal gambling State and you see this South Alabama team plus 2,000 20 to1 throw five bucks on it to win a 100 like I really really believe in this team they’re gritty they’re fun we got to see him against Louisiana Lafayette last week they run ruled him one game they’re talented piece it together five days for them in Montgomery Alabama not too far from home give me the Jaguars South Alabama to win this thing done dude you’re about to get your financial wealth advisor license revoked as soon as this episode is over I have no money we’re gonna have broke people calling us every day emailing us and asking for their money back and I don’t know if I can allow this well like I have no money for them to steal from me so just whatever all right well um back to the big boy table here making picks um Coastal beautiful at plus 800 beautiful I just don’t know if which Coastal team’s going to show up the Dukes get them out of here no shot Georgia Southern get them out of here no shot I’m GNA stick with the team I’ve always been riding with since the beginning Troy Trojan are gonna win the fumb tournament give me Troy I I would like to ask I’d like to request one uh my financial advisor sitting next to me never felt more confident in a pick all night he he really hasn’t as someone who broadcasted close to seven or eight Coastal games this year I love the shant it’s Gary Gilmore’s final year I think the shant can rank a really serious run today plus 800 it’s a really sexy number but I’m a big Skyler me fan and the Troy Trojans are the real deal so I’m requesting one thing either throw Will’s face over this pick because my financial adviser loves this matchup more than anyone or give him a fourth spot and four seat because my main Will loves this [ __ ] more than anyone in the world well I forgot it was coach Gil Moes last year um I really like Georgia State to upset Coastal but now that you said that there’s no chance um as a Southern Miss Alum as a student manager for Southern Miss in 2019 Southern Miss just wins in the postseason they they got Billy Olden they got niik Maza that’s Wednesday and Thursday when they’re going to take Friday off and then they’re going to reset for Saturday Saturday it’s going to be a bullpen game cross cly Josh o um Colby Allen you name it Ben Riley flowers has been turning it up lately they’re gonna get they’re GNA find their way to the finals on Sunday Sunday is always a free-for all no matter what conference it is but if I had to pick other than Southern Miss no go through cut well Southern Miss will always be my choice okay I would go give me James Madison they’re playing hot I’m taking Southern Miss all day every day all day every day I said I said get him a fourth chair I said put his name over his face he’s never felt more confident about a pick in his life all right well then I I changed my mind I didn’t I don’t know Miss is gonna win that’s the confidence but for the the listeners that may not like Southern Miss or whatever it may be time out time out hey will will will time out will time out redeem take a deep breath and come back better take a deep breath and come back better redeem yourself I say I will say this of all people rizot has been on James Madison all year and there’s a reason we’re taking this long on this conf this is our favorite I think is that fair to say it’s mine James Madison ain’t winning no damn [ __ ] in you had a conversation a month ago about them hosting I said they’re a good team I did not say they’re winning the damn dumbbell you said that they could host host you did say that I said it was possible but I didn’t say it was gonna happen I said the resume is in front of them they could do it but it ain’t happening I was like 22 like three weeks ago yeah I just think that this confence I cannot believe I cannot believe a living organism just picked James Madison Dukes to win the sunbell title you’re so gonna win it now a l live organism just pick the Dukes Jack yeah I like it yeah win in a ring with them 2019 that was awesome I haven’t seen him play in person since 2021 so I am really excited to look forward really and uh yeah so how do you not take the E we’re going the I never I am always taking the EES okay right do what locking in Southern Miss oh yeah yeah without a doubt Southern Miss for will I’ll take yeah Troy for me but but if I can’t get four then I want Southern Miss too Southern Miss they’re going to Omaha is just that all right what’s the next Conference next oh the swack all right all right give me the swack I I did some research on the swack here and uh that’s partly because on Thursday when I’m driving home Thursday evening driving home from Birmingham andna stop off at Atlanta gonna go see some swack baseball yeah it’s at Georgia Tech um and so downtown Atlanta prayview A&M bethon cookman Alabama state gramling state Jackson State Texas Southern Southern Florida A&M look fellas I have never been more confident pull up these odds right here I have never been more confident in an underdog pick and and by the way like the swack tournament is always one of my favorite tournaments to watch because like it is exciting exciting exciting different style of baseball um we’re talking about just dude it feels like every year you see catches on Sports Center top 10 defensively um but like the biggest exciting factor I like it I’m sorry they’re laughing at me um look look all right wait I gotta come confident here look I have never been more confident than Texas Southern plus 500 a team that had that won the West for the swack in a dominating fashion it is embarrassing straight up embarrassing that they’re plus 500 to win this tournament look I know Florida A&M is really good bethon cookman the plus 225 they have had a great history of like winning games in Regional not only not only uh they playing in regionals but they’ve won some games um but Texas Southern plus 500 is nuts they they play in a tougher side of the bracket or tough tougher side of the uh division for the conference but they are a really good team and and they’ve made plenty of regional appearances over like the last 10 years so give me Texas Southern plus 500 this is something I’m willing to to uh invest is it bullishly or bearishly bull bullish bullish bullish Leon heavily crypto coin Ben I will lock that pick in if you name all the mascots right now oh all right so we got the Florida ANM Rattlers one the Bon cookman uh this one always gives me trouble but they are the bethon cookman um wild wild cats out a boy Texas Southern golly the prayview is the Panthers so Texas Southern is the um is pressure right now let me start at the bottom Southern Jaguars alorn state or sorry oh is that Alabama Alabama State uh Yellow Jack uh Hornets Hornets Yellow Jackets prayview A&M Panthers Jackson State uh Deion Sanders Grambling State UMAS Tigers Texas Southern um dude they’re they’re also a uh cat a cat what are they they are they Texas [Music] Southern give me one second uh why am I not thinking of Texas Southern are they the uh they’re a cat um I can picture their mascot push a p what are they I can’t think of it right now do you not know either third the thirds Panthers yeah no they’re not the aren’t they Demetri no they’re the Texas Southern um they’re not the Panthers are they not the Tigers they’re the Tigers Texas Southern Tigers yes 100% that’s what it is Grambling tiger Jackson State tiger Texas Southern tiger pushing P yeah what does that mean I thought the Panthers I thought they were the Panthers all along that’s congratulations you got all the mascots I I didn’t get them dude I’m actually embarrassed I didn’t study my my mascots give me bethon cookman wildcat this team lost last year heartbreaking fashion Florida A&M tallahassee’s team is not going to go back to back give me bethon cookman so easy I was only laughing because Ben goes I’ve never been more confident in Underdog in my life we just were laughing that my financial advisor was like yeah I like James Madison a team who’s got by the way an RPI good enough to get in that large bid but we laughed and we just completely forgot that Ben just took Southern Alabama that’s why we literally laughed at will for taking like James Madison a really good baseball team who’s got then Weck tremble a freaking First Team all sub Bel selection and we totally forgot and let Ben off the hood for taking South Alabama that’s crazy and then he goes I’ve never felt more confident about an underdog pick even though he just took plus 22 to1 odds South Alabama that’s hilarious go ahead and get your brother right who’d you pick Texas Southern I’ll r a Texas Southern yeah let’s go we’re gonna do it for Houston go we always we always bet Onex wow what are we doing here dude Texas Southern is the closest division one school to uh to my house home house my parents house right yeah uh yeah pray I’m actually closer to prair R viiew right now but that doesn’t matter Tak where we grew up William hey I already hey go ahead and introduce this tournament I already wrote down your my pick and your pick we already know all right to meet you’re on three three two one Roberts perfect blow job Bob that mean Oral Roberts okay I got you going with oral it’s that simple I mean there’s nothing nobody wants to play this team in the postseason so will I’m gonna make a disclaimer they are not good this year they obviously made it to Omaha last year awesome story they are not good this year but this conference horrible this year but they’re still winning this tournament they all are not good so give me Oral Roberts three seed Jack will oral Robert yeah we got [ __ ] Bob or Roberts all in Oral Roberts it is all right next one I’m not even GNA pull up the odds for that because I don’t have time for that West Coast so we got pepperon we got St Mary’s we got Santa Clara Gonzaga and then San Diego and Portland get the buy uh San Diego really good team like they’re in no matter what this is a stolen bid type of League um I’m going to go with a wild card here like I think Santa clar is a lot better than people think Santa CL clar I think was plus 800 to win this tournament um it’s in Las Vegas Nevada what s Santa CLA plus 500 I’m sorry San Diego minus 110 Portland minus or plus 215 St Mary’s plus 375 Santa CL plus 500 Gonzaga plus 700 Pepperdine plus 12200 look I think Santa Clara I mean it’s a long shot uh all I’m going off of preseason knowledge here but like they’re a team that like came in with uh plenty like honestly like they if you would have switched them in San Diego preseason like where they’re at now it would not have surprised me like if Santa CL would have won this conference regular season not surprised at all underachieved all year uh this is just kind of wild card pick I don’t think San Diego is going to be that motivated they’re going to be a two seed probably at Oregon State no matter what maybe Santa Barbara but uh anyway give me give me Santa CLA plus 500 give me San Diego toer simple I’m not going to explain myself it’s 6:05 in the morning here I don’t give many [ __ ] about who I picked the rest of the away give me San Diego yeah but you you really liked them uh I really liked when I found out what a pilot was I’m all know the Portland Pilots give me Portland plus 215 hypothetically all right next uh that’s the last one right oh we got the whack the whack why okay time out why does the West Coast Conference go before the whack because I I have no idea anyway a the a instead of I don’t know I don’t know a it doesn’t make sense it’s okay if it doesn’t make sense most things in life don’t make sense that’s okay that’s why we keep living this life uh we got the wack conference um it’s in Mesa Arizona minor league Ball Park UT Rio Grand Valley UT Arlington saak state tarlington state and then you get four teams with the buy Utah Valley Cal Baptist abin Christian um gr Canyon we have a mascot head coming very soon fellas but here are the odds gr KY minus 167 abalene Christian plus 350 Cal Baptist plus 500 Utah valley plus 550 Charlton plus 12200 UT Rio Grand Valley Plus 1300 sack State plus 1500 and UT Arlington plus 2,000 look this is one of my favorite brackets just because it is like very very it’s a double elimination but there’s so many buys and there’s like so many teams that like end up having to win like six or seven games just to get to the finals like uh Utah Valley did last year Grand Canyon heavy heavy favorite here Alin Christian really good program shout out to them they’re investing in a baseball they’re putting like $15 million into their Stadium but but I got to go with my guy coach Eddie Smith Utah valley plus 550 they finished second in the regular season in the Utah uh in the whack conference Wolverines are for real like Eddie Valley or sorry not Ed Eddie Smith from Utah Valley comes from LSU gets a head coaching job out west moves his family over there and just becomes on a like a recruiting like hot it’s one of the he recruits better than anybody in this conference is what I’m saying this is your two for him like don’t let him get to year four because he’s going to run this conference Utah valley plus 550 that’s my pick right now lock it in ben your persistence with Utah Valley is very similar to my persistence with this team if they don’t win this tournament I’m G to pick them preseason to win the conference next year if they don’t win the conference regular season next year I’m going to pick them to win the tournament next year if that doesn’t happen 2026 I’m going to pick him to win the preseason if that doesn’t happen I’m going to pick him to win the tournament in 2026 and we’re going to keep doing it until this [ __ ] team wins and I get my pick right give me abalene Christian please just win it now so we can move on give me the wild cast I think aene gets it done good pick I like good and now I’m gonna introduce Our Guest picker he’s done an unbelievable job tonight it’s it’s it’s will and here’s the deal about this conference you want to get juicy you want to get sexy we go with our guy and coming out the Red Corner at plus 1300 odds give us you tal Grand Valley will tell the people why they need get juicy here uh they beat Texas for the first time since 1977 um 68 am speed it up um I watched them play they did lose to Stephen F Austin one of stepen F Austin’s seven wins on the year but they gave up this pretty cool shirt to commemorate them beat in Texas and um they were very good for about six Innings and um I think they carry that momentum and they’re gonna they’re gonna win it all and hey give me UT RGV that momentum from April the first six Innings I heard the wack tournament’s only 7 inning game so you can’t spell without Rio Grand so buckle up gentlemen yeah well the best part is nobody else is like there is nobody listening to the podcast this far uh so we can say whatever we want again we appreciate everybody this was a long fun episode uh inside the Candlewood Suites of Hoover Alabama we will be in Montgomery Alabama tomorrow night but if you see us at the SEC tournament Tuesday or THS Wednesday night or Thursday morning come say what’s up if

HOT TAKE: LSU WILL WIN THE SEC TOURNAMENT
La Tech proved they were the better team in C-USA. Took 2/3 over DBU and their bats have been on fire. Ethan Bates is a stud. Lane Burroughs has to be one of the top mid-major coaches in all of college baseball
Your Home field promo code doesn't work. I've tried it multiple times on different dates. I've tried notifying them on X. What's the deal?
Ben almost had the take of the year in Rice
