Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host, Steve Robertson, here on the elusive Thursday edition of the yard.

I elected to punt yesterday. It's because there was so much going on. I had to check out of the casino at 11.

And then had a fabulous lunch there at Mary Mahoney's. Absolutely fabulous lunch. And I went there and met up with some friends, man. It's a great time. But it just felt like, hey, let's push to today. And then we can do, like, what I'm going to do is to record the baseball portion of this show. And we're going to pause it. I'm going to go watch a basketball game. We're going to come back and give you immediate reaction from the basketball game and hopefully be previewing a second round game for Mississippi State.

We will be back tomorrow, okay, and so we'll do our LSU preview for baseball tomorrow.

Tigers, of course, number two ranked team in the country, headed to duty noble field.

Many have forgotten that last year, even in our second season of discontent that we

still went to Baden Rouge and took the series from LSU. Yeah, those caps still say M over

us. Wasn't a great year, but that was a highlight for us to go down there to Alex Box Stadium and

take the series from the eventual national champions. But yeah, we were Biloxi last couple of days. And guys, I love going down there. I do. There's a few reasons why. Number one, I like the Mississippi Gulf Coast. What we have done as a state, as far as development of the Gulf Coast, post-Katrina, it's been amazing. It has been. It's great. There's so much to do down there there's always a great

show there's always national recording artist in town you know goodness man i might move down there

no i'm kidding i won't but um yeah it's great i love going down there the restaurants are great man

the people are always so glad to see us and so many of you man i tell you what what, you guys know how to make a guy feel special. I'm not gonna lie, you know. I get down there and it's like if I ever leave the press box and I go down to get some, you know, some pull pork nachos or something, there's always people to come up and say how much they enjoy the show or the books, the website. And I can tell you, that didn't cost you anything. It means a lot to me.

It really does. how much they enjoy the show or the books, the website. And I can tell you, that didn't cost you anything.

It means a lot to me.

It really does.

And there is some authenticity in what we do.

I take a lot of pride in that.

I remember years ago, you know, when Jake Mangum was chasing the record, right, the hits record.

I said, I'm'm gonna do road baseball

I'm gonna stay on the road as long as Jake is chasing the record until we get it

and so then we end up you know tying a school record or breaking a school record

at Tennessee and I remember we were the only media people there me and the bride and
