Re: Graduates of the United States Naval Academy (Annapolis) incur a minimum active duty service obligation of five years in the Navy or Marine Corps.

Just sayin': He did his 5 year obligation and got out to pursue something different. He already had 2 promotions, i.e. 2nd LT to 1st LT and 1st LT to Captain. Typically it is 2 years as a 2nd LT and 2 more years as a 1st LT. Noting that he got an "honorable" discharge, he wouldn't have been in nearly long enough to know he wouldn't be promoted to Major.

Bullshit. There isn't an officer on the planet who gets to Captain who doesn't want to be a Major, especially an ambitious one and Stallions is certainly that.

At the 5 year mark, he absolutely was provided an assessment with this OPR for that year of his chances of making Major and I can virtually guarantee you he was told he was at minimum a longshot and/or (more likely) that it wasn't going to happen. I want to note that he wasn't a line officer and was a logistics officer, climbing the ladder is a lot harder in that arena because there are fewer slots available.

Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

Cleveland selected power hitting OF prospect Jace Laviolette out of Texas A&M #27 in the 1st round

Needless to say our luck with "power hitter" prospects has been very bad lately. Hopefully we finally get one who can break that trend. Good value at 27 though as a lot of mocks had him 20th or 21st. Was projected to go much higher before having a down year in his Junior year this past season.

So he performed well. Yet he was so eager to cheat he left at the first chance.

Hilarious that now it’s over in flames.

I can’t wait for the penalties to come out, largely because FUCK them but also because I will think of this clown when it all goes down.

The pain he’ll feel knowing he’s responsible.

Re: Connor Stalions attended the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating in 2017, where he served as a student coach for the Navy Midshipmen football team.

Yeah, that's about it. Needless to say, Navy has a much higher standard (i.e. like zero tolerance) when it comes to cheating than Michigan.

Game Thread Texas at tOSU, Sat. Aug. 30th, 12pm ET, FOX

Captain Buckeye
I have a feeling we are going to beat these guys worse than what’s expected.

I don’t believe they’ll be able to handle JJ et al and I especially don’t think they’ll know what to do with our defense that’s going to be a mystery to them (benefit of having a new coordinator).

Just sayin': His 1st year as head coach was undoubtedly his best year. With Woody's players he went 11-0 (#1 in the AP) during the regular season and probably lost a National Championship to USC in the Rose Bowl 16-17. After that he turned into "9-3 Earl".

I know.

What @cincibuck said - if anything, getting out after 5 years as a Naval Academy grad and as a Captain indicates he was told in no uncertain terms he wouldn't be getting his field grade lobotomy and advancing to Major.

Officers don't just quit for no reason.

Just sayin': Stalions has a degree from the Naval Academy and is a retired Marine Corp Captain as a logistics officer; I would think that he could qualify for some decent job not related to college football.

Retired as a captain? A rimgknocker should be a/an LTC by 20 years, even if most of his time were in the reserves. So if he put in 20 and only made captain, he must be a one-trick dud.

Came here to post this. One was The Game 2022. This fucking weasel goes on to say they lost 3 because they didn't tackle well and Georgia was "historically good".

Then professor dickwad says they won the other 4 because - " we dominated the line of scrimmage & tackled well. Blocking, ball security, tackling, run fits & coverage tools".

Well no fucking shit, Charlene. You can be be ultra aggressive and sound to run fits when you know the God damn play. And "coverage tools"...? Once again, It's simple to adjust alignments and overplay route concepts with leverage when You. Know. The. Fucking. Play.


This hack couldn't cut it as a high school DC, knows fuck all about the game of football beyond signal deciphering, and somehow thinks using these types of lines explains their performance?

Anyone who has so much as set foot on the field at any point in their lives will read through this bullshit and roll their eyes. He's an analytics geek who wanted to get into coaching by swinging on weasel nutsack. Only he never learned anything about coaching because he was too busy turning football into a game of ' I spy'.

I usually don't condone needless violence. But the fact nobody swung on this dude after the scandal broke is an absolute travesty.

The game 2022 absolutely was stolen, theres no way you can’t convince me of that.

That said, we didn’t have that problem this year and still lost. Makes 2024 even more mind blowing

2025 tOSU Offense Discussion

MGMT
buckeyemania11 said:
The passing game is going to be such a nightmare for opposing Ds to prepare for and execute against, especially if our OL plays as good as they should. I think this will allow the RBs we have to thrive, they all bring different skills sets and if used properly will be very good.
Click to expand...

It should be, but other components like route diversity, predictability and run scheme diversity/frequency are going to matter a lot and I think that’s my concern with Hartline having autonomy regarding the offense.

I have more confidence in Sayin than most - and the surrounding talent is otherworldly. But if you don’t have much pre-snap motion, can’t run AND pass out of every formation and you’re predictable/vanilla it doesn’t matter. I think that’s what we saw under BH last go around so I think it’s reasonable to have trepidation now (not accusing you of saying it’s unreasonable).

I’m not saying he’s incapable, but it needs to be proven. Perhaps he leveraged every second he was able to spend with Kelly when it came to playcalling, preparation and analysis. I’m surprised that question to Hartline hasn’t been posed more commercially.

RB Quinshon Judkins (National Champion, Cleveland Browns)

Pretty sure he has not SIGNED, per se

Just sayin': No, he hasn't signed yet: however, it may not effect the amount he signs for. Team's pretty much have to adhere to the NFL's rookie wage scale as negotiated with the players union. The standard four-year rookie contract for the 36th pick in the draft is approximately $11.4M. Since the NFL could discipline (i.e. suspend) him for this action; Judkins may want his contract structured like the one the Browns gave Deshawn Watson, i.e. "His contract was structured with a large signing bonus and a relatively low base salary in the first year, meaning a suspension in that first year resulted in a smaller financial loss compared to later years of the contract." He actually might have benefitted by not signing yet..... :lol:
