And my first – this is back to being wild.
Literally my first night on the grounds of the Naval Academy, I'm sleeping on Doug Zembeck's floor of his room with his other two roommates.
And sometime around 3 or 4 a.m., I get woken up.
It's like a bomb goes off.
There's – a bomb didn't go off, but there's 12 other gorillas in the room, all wrestlers, maybe one or two other guys –
And Doug is hustling.
I don't know any of these people, Andrew.
Like, I just met Doug the previous evening.
We just flew into town.
He wakes me up.
He's hustling me to get my shoes on.
Again, I'm just this high school kid.
And then within two to three minutes, all 15 of these gorillas bolt out of the room.
And Doug grabs me, and I'm just following them, right?
So we race out of Bancroft Hall.
It's maybe 4 in the morning, 3.30, 4 in the morning.
We race out of Bancroft Hall, the barracks.
We run across the parking lot into Lejeune Hall.
And Lejeune Hall is the swimming facility and the wrestling room.
That's it.
