I have many roles in my life, but nothing is more important than being a father. As a parent, as all parents can relate, there are times when it is so rewarding that the pride swells up inside of you, not because of your success, but because you see your children set a goal and succeed. They succeed by trying, by working hard, by being the very best they can be. And then, all of that comes into fruition, it comes together in a magical moment, and greatness is realized. If youre lucky, your children become a part of greatness. Tonight, Im thinking of Collin Matthew Poage and the all other young people who are trying out for The Ohio State University Marching Band tomorrow and Wednesday. You know what it takes be great! You have what it takes to be great! You owe it to yourselves to be great! For the next 48 hours, put aside all the turmoil, the press, the distractions, and show Jonathan Waters that he has shaped you and helped lead you to greatness; that the band which you all hold so dear will maintain its excellence, that you will come through this and you will always be The Pride of the Buckeyes! Go get em! Fight, drive, work like youve never worked before, and you will achieve greatness once again. No one can ever take away the shows of yesterday, but show the world that TBDBITL is not yesterdays news, is not flawed, that you young people have greatness within you that is yet untapped. Show the doubters and nay-sayers that we Buckeyes will come out on the other side and lead The Ohio State University to continued greatness. Today, yesterday, and forever, GO BUCKS!!!
