Welcome to the Barnyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Maroon Friday edition of the yard.

Much later today, as I wanted to wait until after, we had our baseball media opportunity with Chris Lamontas and selected players.

We did that today. It's now officially practice time. We've been practicing in small groups. Now we're practicing as a team. Had a short scrimmage today too. A lot to talk about. I'll share with you what we learned today. But if you want to read our extensive coverage of today's media baseball opportunity, you can do that at jeans page.com.

I got some video to go along with the transcription and the stories.

We've already pushed out the Crystal Monas Q&A today as well as a Luke Hancock

Q&A story slash feature, and we'll have that running throughout the next few days. So we had,

let me think here for a second. We had Chris Lamontas, Luke Hancock, who is now your captain

officially with the C on his chest. We had Parker Sinette. We had Kellam Clark. We had Casey Hunt.

So we had four players in addition to Chris Crystal Monas. And again, we're already

beginning to roll that content out. It is also free. You don't have to be a VIP member. You should

be. Let me share with you too. I had a conference call today with the powers to be at 247

sports. And jeanspage.com had the biggest year of its history in 2022 and I don't know that

we had a great athletic year so I can only begin to think what we can do when we win big again

and everything and I think we're going to we didn't make the baseball tournament you know

softball of course had a good, a historic season for us, but it was kind of an interesting offseason.

Football was good, but, you know, I think a lot of our fourth quarter earnings perhaps came due to the tragedy that befell us with Mike Leach.

But a great year for us, nonetheless,

and you'll be interested to know we're even off to a better start this year than more last year.

How about that? Substantially better. I won't give you to specific numbers, but let me just tell you,

we're going to probably more than triple our page views January year over year.

Yeah.

So it's where everybody's going to get there in Mississippi State News.
