Ohio State used to do this all the time back in the day. They would draft two teams. They would play in the spring game and the loser had to remulch Buckeye Grove. They don't necessarily do that anymore. It's just kind of become practice. It'll be offense defense. But we'll do that here. I don't know. Ooh, I'm going to go.

I was going to say, hey, I'm sure, like, we're in the process of getting our balcony together for, you know, the warmer months so we can actually use the thing.
