...it is Triple Crown season, after all. If you're not hip to all that, you'll see another example of it here:

You're looking at the Kentucky Derby, no hats no songs no excuses.
(approving nod)
whew! Off to send Sts. Cecilia and Jason a thank-you note :)
Mary Beth, did you talk to Jason? How's he doing?
Jasmine The Reader,
I did not talk to Your 2011 Drum Major. He walked past me a couple times, I think, but never said anything. I really don't know if he knew I was there or not; there was quite a cheering section! I did talk to David, JD, and the Campus Sister, but that's only because they approached me first. I would never walk up to any of the candidates today unless they made contact with me first. Afterwards I said hi to Josh, Alex, Stew, and Greg but left fast so they could have time with the other alums. I also saw The Badass there but he just kept on walkin. Jason was kind of busy :) and besides I think he had a lot of family and friends in town that he probably doesn't get to see as often as he'd like. He didn't need me piling on!
Before I left for tryouts today I read every single comment on here. You all got me so pumped up and excited for the day. I cannot thank you enough for your kind words of encouragement. MB, I would have loved to have talked with you, but I guess I was a little occupied :) Today was a blast and I just wanted to thank you all.
Jason
I am so happeeeeeeee
congratulations, Jason.
If I have to put up with an Ohio State Drum Major around here, I guess I'm glad it's you :)
You are VERY VERY welcome, Jason! We couldn't be happier for you.
... I am totally going to cry.
Somebody find me a parking lot.
woot, another year of JASON!
"MB, I would have loved to have talked with you, but I guess I was a little occupied"
Good Lord, man, are you BLIND?! How is it your D-Row boyz have more sense than you in this department?
Oh, and way to strut/twirl/toss/catch. Yeah!
holy shit he acknowledged our existence
I mean-- Great to hear from you Jason The Young! Many, many congrats and we are thrilled to have even virtually been part of your big day!
Awwwwwwwwww.... we love you Jason!
(Also we didn't feel like bothering with anybody new.)
But mostly, we love you, Jason!
I am pleased that my important cheering efforts did not go to waste.
Mr. The Young, well done indeed. You're in and all's well. Looking forward to the YouTubeness of it all.
MB, I would have loved to have talked with you, but I guess I was a little occupied
I concur with my good friend USAF: WTF? If some watery tart throws a sword at me and makes me King of the Britons, and that is hanging around the far shore with her laptop and her glass of wine, I AM GOING TO WADE OVER AND ASK HOW HER 2.5 HOUR DRIVE FROM CINCINNATI WAS.
This guy is pure class. All the way. Double rainbow all the way.
thank YOU, Jason
Jason, what a thrill to us to see you here. You’re extremely thoughtful to come in and say thank you. O-H-!
I concur with my good friend USAF: WTF?
LEAVE JASON ALONE!! YOU’RE LUCKY HE EVEN GROUND BOUNCES FOR YOU!
Before I left for tryouts today I read every single comment on here.
I am so honored by this. Thank YOU Jason.
So many of us wish we could have been there, but I’m sure MB will fill us in on how awesome you were, Jason. What a lift to my day to see you here in the Tasting Room. Thank you so much for taking the time to say hello when you must have a million people clamoring at you right now.
Well, here’s the thing: Jason, we male The Readers have immense respect for your mad skeelz and class, a’ight? You are alpha-alpha. That's the point. And, we love to read about what you and Tink are up to because we are, frankly, living vicariously through your many empty stadium and winter session exploits. You’re 20 years old and ripped with your entire life is ahead of you, and a beautiful intelligent young lady is willing to be in your company without you having to fear seeing the backside of her hand. This is WAAAAAAYYYY more than any of us will ever HOPE to see. So do some bros a solid and give the girl a hello hug occasionally, OK? Wave from several yards away! Or, go wild-- get sloshed and pat her on the hand. Give us something.
It is surely our pleasure, Jason The Ridiculously Young Drum Major. We’re just enthralled with you and the band and have grown quite attached to this amazing guy Mary Beth has stumbled into. Lots of streamers and shattered glass here in the Tasting Room from our celebration when we heard you’d be around for a second year.
it was the "Eye of the Tiger" link that put it over the top, right? Thought so.
WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU JASON!
Many congratulations on your utter lack of loose shit, Mr. Drum Major SIR.
Incredibly proud.... but not at all surprised :) You're the boss of Every-thang, Jason Stuckert.
He slices just like me.
This is terrific news! We were all so hoping we'd get to keep you, Jason, and we DO!
See what happens when you ask nicely :)
I hereby christen this the Everybody Thanks Everybody Else Until We All Fall Down Thread
(smashes Champagne bottle over baton)
(falls down)
So that sonic boom I heard from the general direction of Ackerman Road was you? Well that explains it :)
Couldn't be more excited, proud, or hopeful for an eve more awesome year, Jason. GO BUCKS
Wait, so our guy put together back-to-back no-drop auditions? I take it that's somewhat unusual? :)
I should start betting some of your horses, Miss Belle.
yahooo!
I can't believe you stopped in here on such a big night, Jason The Young. It's the only thing in the world which would have made this party any better!
LET"S DANCE
Owner: The Ohio State University Marching Band
Breeder: Lorain County, OH
bwahahahaha that's awesome. Only drummajor/Tbred racing site in the whole damn world, and I like it that way.
Jason I have no doubt you were indeed "much the best." That's the highest of high compliments on the charts, btw :)
Oh Jason I had my entire office asking when we'd know the results! Good thing it wasn't livestreamed or we'd all have been fired. Go, you!
Jason Stuckert, the Official Face of + INFINITY
Ridiculously thrilled to see that you jumped into the victory celebration for a moment :) Made my day and everybody else's too!
Can we virtually carry him on our shoulders around the virtual Tasting Room yet?
I'm virtually drunk anyway. JASON THE YOUNG IS WINNING!
(fanning self) Oh man, that wait was nervewracking. But well worth it! I let out a yell here at my desk and freaked out my dog.
marvelous, baby, marvelous. BlondeChampagne nation never had an athlete in MB (and she will be the first to agree on this count) and so it's quite fun to root not only for a winning team, but the entire freaking Big Red Machine, the Steel Curtain, and Michael Jordan all in one.
Looking forward to more adventures and ground bounces.
I would shake up and uncork a bottle of Champagne on your behalf, Jason The Drum Major, but seeing as how this would incredibly piss off our fair webmistress ("DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME AND CARE GO INTO GETTING THOSE BUBBLES IN THAT BOTTLE?"), I shall do so only metaphorically.
Is Sprite an acceptable substitute?
Spectacular news, Jason. You're steering your own craft and you're going to have a wonderful year. Make it so :)
Well done, lad! Next round's on me.
...after your birthday, of course
he came he saw he DOMINATED
We have a new hope for humanity, and it came from Ohio!
...seriously, with all the crap going on in the world, it's nice to see someone go in and just strafe it, doing what he does best :) Thank you Jason!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
I am going to permit myself to eat the remaining Easter candy in celebration. I was saving it for a time when I was sad, but I think I'd rather have it now when I'm happy!
Thanks for the excuse Jason The Repeat Drum Major!
(cranks some Jay-Z)
If I get pulled over for violating the city noise ordinance, and I explain that I'm celebrating that a Drum Major I never met for a school I don't care about on a blog of a person I don't know has defended his title, I'm sure the cop will understand.
If some watery tart throws a sword at me and makes me King of the Britons, and that is hanging around the far shore with her laptop and her glass of wine, I AM GOING TO WADE OVER AND ASK HOW HER 2.5 HOUR DRIVE FROM CINCINNATI WAS.
LOL!!!!
All hail our own Once and Future Drum Major. We're proud to be your sycophants :)
I find this Jason Stuckert fellow's plans of world domination somewhat ambitious.
Hey, guys! What's new?
Did I miss any big news?
What a great mid-week pickmeup. We all have a football season's worth of Shock and Awesome to look forward to :) :)
WIN: Jason Stuckert (1)
Saw this on my phone in the middle of the subway station and couldn't help myself from saying "YEEEESSSSS" right in front of the homeless winos and everybody! Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh baby!
Let there be much rejoicing. Our Jason remains in his rightful place: King of All Batonage
