Grant, good morning, sir. How are you? Good. I wish I had some more black on my chin and not so much gray. I got a rep to protect with my wardrobe, but I can't control the grayness on my facial hair. It's a sad state of affairs. We're not doing this. I was talking to Shump and the ball sports guys on Monday about it because I think you're

It was like 2 a.m. in Rupp Arena on a Thursday night or something. I did not see what I was doing. You posted because the whole thing is like you took the picture. You know what you did. It was like 2 a.m. in Rupp Arena on a Thursday night or something. I did not see what I was doing.

2:18.7

You posted because the whole thing is like you took the picture. You uploaded it to social media. So you saw it again. I just hit the tweet button. That's it. Let it go. That's another thing.
