I just got back from deployment #4 yesterday.  It proved to be a busy one; not only were operations fierce, but I finally got to sell my timeshare over there (anyone want beach-front property with no nearby water?).  It’s great to be reunited with wife and kid.  It’s great to [...]

Thank God for College Football season!!!  It’s just too bad I’ll only be here for the first half of it.
The 2007 Air Force football season was a surprisingly good one (when compared to the previous four or five).  It also showed that new coach Troy Calhoun could lead a team [...]

Usually when you mention Academy football to people, I think maybe “underdog” summarizes what pops into peoples’ minds… and if you disagree with that statement, when was the last time your put Air Force in the same category as Ohio State, USC or LSU?  Believe or not though, Air Force has been [...]

This weekend one of my buddies from college, Johnny Ballgame, was in the area (if you want to call a 5-hour drive “in the area”) and decided to swing out and visit.  It was a blast seeing him.  Johnny Ballgame appropriately earned his name because he passionately follows every sport there is… [...]

I missed many of the great games of week 13 for college football because I was on a cruise ship with extremely limited TV channels.  That being said, I was able to catch most of the huge upset that Texas A&M brought to Texas: congrats on the win Dad.  Hell, [...]

It’s been a hectic 4 weeks.  Toward the end of my two “home” weeks that I had in October, it was mayhem… mainly consumed by the Army dining out (which only the official “Air Force Ball” at Wright-Patt AFB touched) and a missed trip to Minneapolis (for Wiley’s wedding) where [...]

Air Force has pulled out 2 straight wins now.  I’ll admit, not against Top-25 teams or anything.  UNLV is a team AFA can typically beat, and Colorado State (this past Saturday) came into the game 0-5, so I would’ve been disappointed if the Falcons would have lost.  Looks like Colorado [...]

While it is true that Air Force football surprised a lot of people by sprinting out of the gates beating two tough teams, it seems as though they are starting the ever-so-familiar trend: winning up-front and losing it in the back-stretch.  If there was any year that the Air Force [...]

Perhaps it was too good to be true, an Air Force team that would walk away 4-0 after being the severe underdog for three straight games. This weekend BYU seemed to have a can of whoop-ass with Air Force’s name all over it, beating them 31-6 in Utah. That defeat [...]

Before this Army exercise started two weeks ago, I noticed that about 3 Air Force games would be televised on CSTV, so I ended up ordering the Sports Pack into my DirectTV package for a little extra money.  I hope it was worth the money, because it was during this exercise (with [...]
