OT: The Announcement!!!
« on: September 01, 2006, 12:19:10 AM »
It is with GREAT pride and humility that I make the following announcement.

After two years of waiting and dreaming of this. I have garnered a position on the staff of  THE Ohio State University, Department of Athletics.

I have become a member of an illustrious group called the REDCOATS!!!  clap.gif Any Ohio State alumni,student, faculty or staff member knows who the REDCOATS are.  

Those less informed shall know that we are the keepers of the GATES at OHIO STADIUM
.  Also affectionately known to all BUCKEYE FANS as "THE SHOE". My place of employment:

My credentials
very bad picture. Disregard it. My uniform
 Upclose

As you might expect I am very proud of all this. Oh almost forgot. There is one more item to the uniform. It is a black hat with a scarlet block O. They ran out of hats when I picked up my uniform. Just my luck!


This is my horoscope from todays paper.

LEO (July 23-Aug22),
As much as you want to start a
new project, hold off until you've
completely finished the one
your on. Have you figured
out that your involvement in
a group raises the bar for
everyone?


I think so  biggrin.gif  clap.gif  eusa_dance.gif  yahoo.gif  WOW.gif

GO BUCKS!!!

Geez...in all my excitement I forgot to mention that my duties give me an added bonus. I start my saturday mornings at St. John Arena, where the Ohio State Marching Band (TBDBITL) (answer at bottom) has their skull sessions for two hours prior to kickoff. The music is Wonderful and really gets you pumped up.

I will never miss a home game again!






















































TBDBITL= "The Best Damn Band In The Land"

Very happy for you, Roy. I think there are some special Saturdays in your future!
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Kelly gave me a "You Tube" orientation before I left town last week.  biggrin.gif   Now that I've had a chance to check-out pages like this, you out there who have been deprived of the experience should check this out . . .TBDBITL entrance! to get a sense of why we're all celebrating for Roy.

Oh yes! and this is pretty impressive, too . . .Script Ohio. Watch the whole thing . . . right up to that lone sousaphone "dot" the "I" . . . for the most unusual/amazing marching display by the 250+ piece, all-brass band at 180 beats per minute (w/as I recall, 32 sousaphones). You've probably never seen anything like it. A >70 year tradition!

Good luck on your "debut" tomorrow afternoon, Roy.   cheer.gif  thumbup.gif  salute.gif
