The upperclassmen are all there to watch the third-year students play in the exhibition game. They're all there because they want to be on time for the game, which is supposed to be the last time they'll see each other before they graduate. One of the guys asks if they can move the game up a month so they can play against the graduating class instead of the underclassmen. The guy says he's sure they can do it, since it's their last chance to play together as a team before they leave for college. He also says that they're asking him to play them as a "serious opponent" . The guys are all excited to play, but they don't know how to react to this request. They murmur that they need to do the right thing, but the guy says that he'll umpire the game.
