I -- Wikipedia fact -- question for -- I read that they call you the blue hurts. In college. Was where -- that.

On the coming -- heard that's my my my -- for my fraternity. And kind of stems from. The nickname everybody in high school he's always come here you know like. Frank Thomas was a bigger so everybody has Tommy -- And I schools so when I. When I crossed my fraternity. I just made them linemen in this -- they're.

Stock here in Saint Louis we know going to be hot and humid. How do you keep yourself feeling good out there when you play.
