2008 Week 7: Blogging about the Independents

Brock isn’t, by any means, the best head coach in the NCAA, but regardless of Army’s pitiful 2007 stats (hey, it was his first season, give him a break), his diagnosis will hopefully promote the important for regular prostate exams. Sure, it is a bit uncomfortable, but no man is too manly to make that doctor’s appointment. It could save your life. Early detection certainly saved Coach Brock. 

Bottom line – take care of your health.

Best Wish, Stan Brock

This past April, one of Army’s few good players, Caleb Campbell, was give notice that he’d be allowed to enter the 2008 draft. If selected, Campbell would service the remainder of his time in the military as a recruiter. Working full-time in two jobs would be hard, but Campbell was willing, and subsequently, the kid was drafted in the 7th round by the Detroit Lions.

Now the Army is changing their tune. Lions’ president, Matt Millen, received a letter today stating that Campbell would NOT be allowed to be a recruiter and would be forced to return to, and I quote, “full-time traditional military duties.” His release date from the military would be May 2010.

Excuse me?

I get it – without policy, the military would fall apart. This is ridiculous, though. Not only are they going back on their word to Campbell, but they have cost the Lions a player, and possible may have fucked over Campbell or the Lions in terms of money, depending on the contract. All because of “policy.”

Let me tell you a brief story…and believe me, there’s a lot more to it than this, but I’ll just give you an overview. A close friend of mine was injured in Iraq. His medical discharge papers were lost somewhere along the way, so he received them but his unit did not. This spring, they began proceeding to take him to jail for desertion, because the paperwork was never sent to them, and the only reason he found out is because now, fully healed, he wanted to go back in. Because the proceedings had already begun the “best they could do” was drop the desertion charges and list him as “other than honorable,” which means he’ll have a very hard time getting back in and he lost lost many of his veteran benefits. He HAS the paperwork proving that it was their mistake, but because of “POLICY” there is “nothing they can do.”

It’s bullshit, just like it is bullshit that Campbell has to give up his spot with the Lions. Policy is great, but there’s this thing call EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE. In good faith, the Army should recognize that they were mistaken in allowing Campbell to join the draft and serve as a recruiter, and because it was their mistake, they should stick to their word. After all, they NEED recruiters. It isn’t as if he would be released early or something.

It would be one thing if Campbell was told from the start that he couldn’t be drafted. After all, you know damn well what you’re getting into when you join the military. No one forces you to serve. That wasn’t the case, though, and now, everyone suffers.

Make no mistake – the people in our nation’s military are by far some of the strongest, bravest people you’ll ever meet, and I send them my thoughts and prayers to serve safely. The bureaucracy though? I hate the Army.

Another Reason I Hate the Army

Mark Dantonio of Michigan State threw out the first pitch at Wednesday’s Detroit Tigers game. That’s an honor for anyone, and I’m sure MSU fans loved to see his arm.

San Diego State’s Kevin O’Connell sat down for an interview (read it here) to talk about his life since April. O’Connell was the 94th draft pick and went to the Patriots.

At West Point, there are a ton of renovations being done to Michie Stadium, home of the Army football team. Most notable, all of the old artificial grass has been removed and replaced with FieldTurf, which is considered a safer surface for players. They’re also getting a HUGE video board!

Run by alum Riki Ellison, Tulane is home to the Youth Impact Program this week. This event, which is free for participants, gives underprivileged boys the chance to learn about football, as well as about academics and life skills needed for success.

Syracuse fans are all hyped up – yesterday Universal Pictures announced that “The Express” will premier in their city on September 12. The movie chronicles the life of Orange alum Ernie Daivs, the first Heisman winner who was African American. The movie stars Rob Brown and Dennis Quaid. It will be released in theatres everywhere on October 3.
