Yeah, I've had enough of that too.

248, 5, 3997.97, we can get to anything and everything. And I'm happy to do a more expanded conversation on Pat Fitzgerald a little bit later. But I just, I don't want people thinking they're going to be tuning in for some over-emotional analysis. I don't have that to offer you. I'm not going to sandbag it and I'm not going to celebrate it.

We're not leaving Northwestern. 248, 5, 3997. and I said we go to the people on a Monday.

Aaron's batting leadoff.

Aaron, what's going on, buddy?
