Mickey Marotti Hits the Buckeye Football Team With a Glorious April Fools Joke to Lighten the Mood

We're living in uncertain times during the COVID-19 outbreak, but Ohio is gonna get through it together – and have some fun along the way.

April Fools Day feels heavier this year than usual, but that didn't stop Ryan Day and Mickey Marotti from lightening the mood a bit with a delightful April Fools joke where Marotti told the team he was leaving the team to follow his dream of becoming a rock star.

To be honest, a part of me is actually disappointed. I was already planning my Aug. 1 trip to that Put-in-Bay concert featuring Coach Mick on the drum kit.
