Quoteworthy:
"At first I was kind of pissed ... I was like, ‘I’ve already served my country for four years and been out for almost two years.’ I’m getting my fighting started and getting the ball rolling on that. I was kind of mad, but the very next day, I just accepted it. I’ll do what I gotta do, and then I’ll come back and work on my fighting."
Bittersweet. It is defined as defined (Dictionary.com) as "producing or expressing a mixture of pain and pleasure." That is the easiest way to describe Darrill Schoonover’s -- also affectionately referred to as "Titties" by opposing coach Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on the show -- feelings after he was recently recalled into the Army. He talked to Shambala Sports Radio and talked about the move. It is understood that he will be required to complete a stint of 400 days. Not all of which will be deployed, but he is anticipating that he is heading to Afghanistan for some if not most of that time. Luckily, Schoonover will be able to fight at the TUF 10 Finale if he makes it to the championship round of the 16-man tournament. He will head to the Army shortly after.

Tough titties.

Good luck to him
Anyone that is/was in the service that isn’t a shitbag or got a Big Chicken Dinner has my respect

Nothing but respect!
Regardless of how you feel about why or where we are at war, you can respect a guy (all of them) that has to put his life on hold to serve his country….again.
I hope we see him back in the Octagon.

Wow, recalled? That’s some bullshit.
Poor titties.
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
I'll be cheering for you now Schoonover now!
It’s one thing to strap on the gloves and go to war in the ring it’s another to put your life on the line for the freedom of others including Rampage and his family. Win or lose Schoonover is a hero of mine I wish him and his family the best and hope he returns home safe.
What does Titties do?????
I hope they aren’t sending him over there to “entertain the troops” with those titties. jk, good luck brother.

I wish him the best
I work with his dad and he didnt seem to happy about this happening. Best wishes and I hope he stays safe.
Wow
I cant believe this guy is a fighter. He looks like a fat, big breasted, nerd. he needs to either loose weight, or gain weight (look like roy nelson), or get some testosterone because he walks around the show looking like a gumpy reject from highschool.
*lose*
Not loose. Unless he’s gonna loosen his weight?
Kinda sucks for darril. He’s a decent fighter. & he took a lot of unwarranted crap on this season due to him being a team mate opposite a 5 year old coach.
Hope all is well
Best of luck

I wonder
what he does in the Army. Afghanistan is probably on my near future as well. Once this college ROTC and BOLC II training gets done, its Army life for the next 10 yrs! Hooah
He should if possible...
doe the Army Combatives Competition….They had mma comps for 2 years now I think. They are awesome if you ever get to see them. Military pride and mma in fight makes for some interesting fights. HDNET had them on 2 weeks ago.
