You're listening to Irish Illustrated Insider. It's April 11th. I'm Tim Priester,

to this podcast could see the diabolical look on your face right now, T.O.

But no, Saturday is the Jersey scrimmage. It's a treat to get to be there and see it. And I think that it will crystallize some things that we believe we know about this spring. And it will probably illuminate a number of things that we
