It's joyful, Marshall.

It's joyful to be around.

How many of there are you singing?

And then, Joe, you get to throw out the first pitch, so we'll come back to you in a second.

But the singing thing, Coach has done his solo, and he has a great singing voice.

I was so surprised.

How many of you guys are singing with him?

it you say that now but marshall and i did it last year really you do have to maintain focus i can see that that that i think you will do so you're a moline native and we were asking you uh a little bit of questions off microphone in our in our commercial break your grandfather was a cubs fan and the quad cities that's kind of a place where you get a little bit of everything there baseball wise like what made you make your decision

Okay.

So how many people are you bringing?

Who's coming to support you?

So I think you guys get to go on the field at Wrigley.

You get to kind of get the pregame experience.

You'll get to hang out with some of the baseball players.

What about the experience, the activity, the non-seventh inning stretch, the non-first pitch for you?

Are you guys looking forward to the most out of this?

We're talking to Matthew Bailey, the defensive back, and Joe Barna, the defensive lineman of the Fighting Illini football team.

It's Illini night here on the north side for the Cubs game against the A's, and we are 104-3 the score.

And I think that probably is, to experience it as football players playing there and then to have to translate that into a baseball game, what was that like?

Because watching it in the stands, it was mind-bending because we're seeing the aspect of the field tilted.
