And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My wife twirled when she was young, and was pretty good at it, and won some major competitions, and she assures me that, despite how impressed we noobs may be, this guy is not very good, at all; and that no, this was not on purpose, and in fact that the video might be doctored -- they might wind it backward at the point that the baton hits the turf, because it seems to return with the same energy it had when it left his hand.
Feel free to call bullshit on her assessment, but she's in the next room polishing her multiple huge twirling trophies and you're not.
I've seen her twirl and it looks like Bruce Lee with numchucks. To get a rise out of her, if we see someone twirling flaming batons I'll look over at her with an impressed look and she'll spit out "that's not real twirling" with the contempt of a purist.
Either way he’s got some skills..
ReplyDeleteStill couldn't beat Michigan this year too.
ReplyDeleteBut then Michigan isn’t in the playoffs is it
DeleteYes, it is on purpose. An old Drum Major's move.
ReplyDeleteHad season tickets from ‘72 to 2010. Standard tOSU DRUM MAJOR MOVE.
DeleteLooks surprised a little bit. If nothing else, nice recovery
ReplyDeleteStandard drum major move, but this one looked like 'good recovery'. Not quite showy enough, and a bit low.

Yes, it's real. Yes, it's on purpose. It's been a standard for years.
