Tress had gone to ROTC and asked for names or active duty officers that had gone through OSU ROTC and had them sent out. Was pretty cool.

I will grant you this though - the current hired gun/coach of the Buckeyes wouldn't hesitate to run up points on Navy and win by a lopsided score if the opportunity arises. I just don't think that'll be the case.

Con_Alma;1645579 wrote:When graduating Annapolis each officer has a minimum service obligation of 5 years of active duty with 3 years inactive duty. That's the minimum. If after graduation additional training or education is needed for a specific career or service, then additional service obligation time is required and the clock doesn't start ticking until the training is complete and the service begins.

As an example, a naval aviator might have an obligation of 7 years and the clock doesn't start until flight school is complete. If said aviator agrees or choose to be trained for jets and become carrier certified then their service obligation might be 10 years and the clock doesn't start until complete jet certification is finished.

Dr Winston O'Boogie;1645604 wrote:Will not happen. You have nothing to base your prediction upon. Past performance indicates a close game. Even with the hired SEC gun as the coach, this may still be a battle. Now that the quarterback position at Ohio State is up in the air, I would temper my cockiness.

Maybe Ohio State should conduct an official inquiry into the culture of the pistol team. This would distract from the Miller injury and would allow the courageous leadership to fire another leader.
