Fifty-one. No, I’m class of ’54. I played from ’51 to ’54. What did you play? Guard. We were big then [LAUGHS]. The oldest guy here. The best-looking guy. The class of what? Fifty-one. Fifty-one. When I first got here there was no real function where we ever got our former alumni players back together, so we started it a couple years ago. It keeps growing each and every year. It’s a great thing to see. Guys keep coming back, coming back. Each year we find a couple guys that haven’t back 10, 15 years. Good to see guys from years past, to guys that are playing now. It’s just great. It’s just a great feeling. I look forward to this every year. My name is Dennis Kroll, and I played from 1958 to 1962. And I was an end. And Roman Gabriel was our quarterback. Claim to fame. Athletics is a big part of the brand of the university. It attracts—it brings alumni back to campus. It brings students to the university. It’s just a big part of the winning tradition and culture that we have at American public universities. You know, there were new friendships, tell lies, you know, have a great time. So it’s a great function. You know, it’s nice for our kids to see that, you know, people care and the alumni come back, and someday they’re going to be walking through that gate.
