That brought back a memory. Ft. Benning had a team called the Doughboys and in the 60' and 70's when colleges had freshman teams they would schedule the Doughboys. Watched at AU in 71 when they beat the living crap out of our freshman.
Hell they had 25 year old former West Pointers and guys that had gone through college on ROTC scholarships and served in Vietnam.. Our 18 years got an introduction to big boy football.


Yes, we have lost a lot of our Hallowed Traditions, but, Thank Heavens that we still have Texas A&M Yell Leaders and Yell Practice to keep the Flamers of Tradition going strong.

Whoop!

Wow, they are going to get the real soldiers killed.


Meh, those soldiers shouldn't have gotten themselves into that position. Right?

That is not an unreasonable solution, long-term, but it is not going to help with short-term staffing needs.
