... as part of the Make-a-Wish program.
Easily one of the bigger player turnouts of this event in recent years, with several first-team guys as well as a number of walk-ons.
I'll post a few photos in this thread (will apologize for the quality in advance, but I'm dealing with an iPhone here) with videos to come later.

With any luck, the Make-A-Wish day won't be officially vacated by the NCAA.

Is it weird that I watched once normally, then rewound it and watched it to see how the players looked physically? lol FITZ!

I saw a few violators. But no pushups. Players admitted, with smiles on their faces, that they were lax on enforcement this year.
It was interesting the way the players would two-step to avoid the S, so the tradition is still clearly in place.
