Ohio State's New President Is A Certified Badass That Graduated From Top Gun With The Call Name Slapshot

What a fucking home run of a hire for Ohio State. Take a quick trip over to Teddy Carter Jr's Wikipedia Page and you'll find that this guy, who we poached from measly little Nebraska and he jumped quicker than an invite to the Big 10, is quite possibly the coolest man on Earth. You can read up on his awards, and hockey career, and time spent as President of the US Naval War College, Superintendent of the Naval Academy, blah blah blah. But what really gets my juices flowing is this motherfucker graduated from TOP GUN, flew 125 combat missions, and went on to set a Navy record for most landings with 2,016.

How fucking cool is that? Top Gun, except not even the movie. The real ass thing that prepares you to go kill motherfuckers in the air. Pres' call name was Slapshot, which he says comes from the fact that when slapshots became a thing when he was playing hockey, he was so bad at it that his college coach said your stick is never allowed to leave the ice ever again. So the boys called him Slapshot. Just boys being boys.

I'm so fired up for this guy to lead our great University. To be fair though, I'd literally be fired up for a sack of shit to lead this University after the last two Presidents since Gordon Gee had to go. Thought we were going to have to drop Scarlet Red from our school colors there for a second. We brought in the dude from California and then the lady from New York and then said, okay lead us here in OHIO. Am I crazy or should a midwest man (or woman) not lead the most prestigious University in the midwest? A+ job to the Board of Directors for finding a good great one.

Next home run hire for the Buckeyes: feed me Jim Tressel as next Athletic Director
