Yep, we all heard about this today, too.

And my running bad joke is, “he’s going to look stupid in that uniform.”

I BET CURLEY IS BEHIND THIS!

Settle it on the field!

I'm sad

I’m sure this dude is a good twirler but…the Blue Sapphire, to me, is supposed to be the PSU princess, everyone’s collective sweetheart. That this man is not.

I thought Selena was your princess?

She's the overall princess

PJ is queen of this campus though.

Disappointed

But, I can live with it as long as he:

1. Can throw the buttons twice as high
2. Handle 4 -6 flaming battons instead of 3
3. Do more crazy stuff in general

Word from one at the auditions was that he was the clear winner. Managed to keep 5 batons going at once.

My prediction: There will be a collective snicker from the fans in attendance for the first 30 seconds followed by a collective “daaaaamn.”

Not Cool

But apparently this happened before back in 1992. Any of the more senior members here have any recollection of how that turned out?

Not a "senior member"

But from what I’ve heard from Blue Band people is that John Mitchell, the guy you’re referring to was really, really good.

If you've ever seen John Mitchell with the Alumni Blue Band at Homecoming...

…he’s kind of awesome. He can stand on the 10 yard line, throw the baton off the 5 yard line, and have it bounce back to him. It’s weird as hell.

I heard Michigan has a male twirler, too

He also happens to play QB for the football team
