Ivy Nation Sports Talk up and rolling on a Wednesday, and that means mailbag day, as always, along with Jesse Steyers.

I am Sean Stiers. How are you jess first show for you this week yeah it's been a crazy week so far today is my busiest day but we are i'm fired

up i got up and worked out this morning i drink like this recovery drink that's got energy and creatine and all this other. And so I'm like fired up right now. I'm going off all cylinders. Going creatine. Huh? You had like a, it was like a recovery drink that had like creatine, electrolytes, vitamins, BCA's. And I was like, well, it sounds like it's got everything I need. and I got up at 5 a.m. today, so. Juice it up, baby.

Yeah, so I've just been, and I was telling you, I got basketball practice after

this. So I got to run around and go yell at some like 10 year olds about basketball. So I got to

keep this energy up all day. Jesse's the head coach of the basketball team, even though he never played basketball.

But is it a coworker or just a friend who like...

What's like my best friend in Cleveland?

Okay, so like he's the one with the basketball, like, background, but he didn't want the headache of being the head coach.

So he enrolled you to sort of being the authority

figure and he's the one handling basically all of the actual basketball skill type stuff for the

most part. Right. And so today it's like for anyone that's watched Ted Lassow, that that's the

perfect example. Like I'm Ted Lassow and my assistant coach is red, but he's not going to be there tonight. He texted me at like noon today. He said, hey, I'm not going to be there tonight. I just got home from Myrtle Beach. And I'm like, okay, but practice isn't for seven hours. So like, why why can't you make it? Are you just tired? Do you not want to go? So it looks like I'm going to be running practice tonight, which might mean a lot of running and a lot of scrimaging, to be honest with you. Because our first game is this Saturday. So we got to make sure that we're looking pretty good. All right. All right. Well, it is, Joe says that you're

drinking stuff manufactured in Uzbekistan. Maybe. I don't know. I didn't read the label. Yeah,

that's right. Maybe it's Beijing. Maybe it's Uzbekistan. Who knows? Vietnam. Who knows where it comes from?

All right. well, get your

questions in. Salty has given us a starter kit for the mailbag tonight like he usually does.

So Salty's got a bunch in. If you're getting in right now, there's still time. Get your

questions because it is a mailbag show. And we will, of course, have some rapid fire questions later on. Great stuff in the women's basketball mailbag, by the way, yesterday. You missed that. We had a lot of really good Notre Dame women's basketball questions yesterday. I didn't know you guys had a women's basketball mailbag yesterday. We first time we've done it gave it a whirl

and it worked out pretty well so i'm sure we'll do it at least once more if not even more

before the season comes to a conclusion all right so without further ado

salty wants to know.
