No, he's a General.
TJ Dottery will be the starting Mike linebacker. Blake is starting Whit and TJ.
I said this in another thread. It fits here better..Illinois's coach Brad Underwood left Oklahoma State after just one year. No one in the media bashed Illinois or Brad Underwood. OSU even got hit with sanctions after he left for recruiting violations. Not a peep from the national media.

The guy on the white horse is actually an Air Force Combat Controller named Bart Decker. The CCT guys never get mentioned, but in all three detachments that rode horses, there were Air Force special operators on attached to each unit providing close air support.

ODA 555 had a guy named Calvin Markham. He was my instructor at Combat Control School in 2002 after he got back from Afghanistan.

From r/baseball...

When the Nationals sent Dylan Crews to Triple-A last week, the headlines focused on his .103 spring average. That number is real, but it's probably the least useful thing in his spring line.

Maybe more tellingly than his AVG, Crews' infield fly ball rate jumped from 6.8% in 2025 to 55.6% this spring.

Unlike batting average, IFFB% is a mechanical signal. It reflects how a hitter is swinging, not who he's swinging against. Pop-ups happen because the bat gets under the ball instead of through it, and that doesn't change based on the quality of the pitcher.

The Nationals' manager pointed to Crews falling behind in counts as the culprit. When a hitter has to protect the plate, the swing path gets compressed. For Crews, it was producing a lot of balls going nearly straight up. His line drive rate fell from 15% to 5.3% at the same time, which tells the same story.

The good news: the Nationals are treating it as correctable, not a talent issue. His underlying contact quality in 2025 was better than his box score suggested, and he's only 24. When he comes back to the Show (and he certainly will), the first sign of recover will be a drop in his IFFB% and rise in the line drive rate.
Not much a Trust I would say. Doing the opposite of what a Trust is supposed to do.

It's a fun tournament and USA Baseball can't field a team of 120 guys. I don't knock them for wanting a part of it.
They'll just have to fight while wearing dirty skivvies.

You can blame congress and radical judges for that. He would love to fix this country but too many road blocks. Historically, US Presidents have more power on managing foreign affairs anyway, so just sit back and enjoy the ride.
quote:

Guess you never heard of the Persian Empire? This take is hilariously wrong.



Of course. The book is about modern Iran. So, my take is not hilariously wrong. It was not a modernized society until after they received oil money. They were about 150 - 200 years late on the industrial revolution. In the 1800's, they were sophisticated, but by no means had the living standards of modern societies at the time. Hence the sarcastic "goat frickers living in mud huts."
Cliffs:

They were goat frickers living in mud house and nomads until around 1850. Then a Brit discovered oil on their land in the early 1900's. BP paid them pennies on the dollar until they tried to nationalize the oil industry in the early 1950's. CIA and MI6 killed the guy and planted their own guy, but BP started to pay them 50/50 on the profits. Iran got rich and then overthrew their own government in 1979. They nationalized the oil industry for good and have been assholes ever since. End book.
It's all speech. They literally can't point to actual human rights violations.

Just come up with their own story. Why keep tearing apart another person's work of art?
I can't believe this actually had to go to litigation. The schools and teachers don't own the kids. They have no parental rights. They are not the legal guardians of the kids. Yet somehow they have decided, in their own self righteous circles, they have the right.
quote:

This isn't a war.



It's a cold war. All my life, we've been obsessed politically labeling Iran as a geopolitical issue. Every president, besides Trump, has engaged in Proxy wars AND actual wars with other ME countries due to the tensions created by and funded from Iran. Trump just cut straight to the issue.

I get that, but usually you put in an action or word that stops the hazing. It wouldn't be that hard for Jose to go the basement and say, event is over. Return to normal. Cops will be here soon. Don't say shite. Or go back your dorms/come back at 8am. Whatever, but there clearly was not an actual leader at the house managing the crisis very well. This could have all been avoided with some real leadership.
