You can stop wondering. The answer is No.

But man they are small and slow. I hope their fans enjoyed the trip. The ones sitting near us are not impressed with Monken.



Monken is in a tough situation because the rule changes to cut blocking have ruined his M.O. which under center triple option offenses. He's done it all his time from Georgia Southern to Army and he simply cant run it any more with the rule changes so Army is in a transition period now trying to figure out how to run a more modern offense which frankly doesnt suit the players he recruited in the past. Army isnt like other schools and can just hit the portal for quick fixes and changes.

I would be careful if I was Army fans. Monken won at Georgia Southern and he's won A LOT at Army. He has won at least 8 games in 5 of the last 7 seasons there. He even finished RANKED 1 year which is a gigantic achievement with one of the service academies.

Perspective here is before he arrived at Army they had gone 16 of the previous 17 seasons with a LOSING record. The 1 year they had a winning record was 7-6...So they went from that to having won at least 8 games in 5 of past 7 seasons under Monken. I'd be giving him time to figure things out.

Our military failed in Afghanistan after 20 years. Our military equipment has ended up failing our proxy in Ukraine. Our military standards are lower than ever before. More obese than ever before. Lower recruiting numbers than ever before. It's not unreal to compare our military might to other world powers that have demonstrated success on the battlefield where we have not. China can manufacture naval vessels at a 200% greater frequency than we can. Our military personnel are great people but our leadership sucks arse. It's our right, no our DUTY, to criticize our military because we need them to protect us....andisrael apparently
Why don't you go do it then? What branch did you serve in? What was your MOS?

I have seen FCS teams that visited Tiger Stadium that were larger and faster than Army. Honestly, I was shocked by their small size and slowness.

those baws don’t go to the service academies to play ball, and anyone who underestimates our military’s ability to absolutely kick arse and take names is a fricking idiot

Russia? Really? Have you not been following the invasion of Ukraine? They blow up more of their own shite than the enemy.

You must be from Poland, stupid fricking Polock.

Pax, they're about to become officers in the Army. Their job description reads: "get up, put on uniform and die if necessary for your country". What's yours?

They may have been overmatched on the gridiron last night but don't forget....these kids go to Westpoint! That is a major accomplishment in itself.

I'd rather not be associated with the federal government at current time. I'll continue my service in the "armed militia" wing of our republic and maintain my civilian rights to criticize our declining nation.

Army played dirty. Constantly trying to start shite with our guys. Lost respect for them as their antics went on

This.

I can't believe they didn't keep running. Also drain the clock so Daniels has the ball less.

He's probably overachieved as head coach there.

As Army's head coach, he has had several seasons with nine or more wins and in 2018 finished 11-2 and ranked in the top 20.

Abandoning the triple option at a service academy makes zero fricking sense. When your players aren't as talented as other schools you need a niche. I'm not sure how he expects to consistently win games running a regular offense. Just look at Nebraska or Georgia Tech and their declines since abandoning that offense. And it's crazy he is getting away from it because he has been very successful with it in the past.

Army was terrible with their backup QBs. It would have been a game had their starter played

Same as before what? You are delusional.
No one wants this smoke. That may sound like disrespectful hyperbole considering g the atrocious things that happen in military conflicts but that is the cold arse slap in the face reality. If we are gone then everyone is gone.
