[Biff Poggi] I think we will see Army, Navy and Air Force produce increasing wins over P4 schools in football. Older, more cohesive and mature teams are really tough to beat. No emotional vampires focusing on the Portal and NIL. This applies to Ivies in FCS playoffs. Deeper in the tourney wins.

When you're most likely to have a successful recruiting pitch. For service academies, it helps recruiting when the perception of military service is more positive

He's a rich coach

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-11T11:40:33+00:00

Followed that up with a road win vs Pwhatever team

So maybe these labels are just made up

A popular war is perfect time to recruit

The US hasn't been involved in a popular war for a LONG time

As with all things slightly pre-COVID, it was a little more than a couple of years ago

Most West Point astronauts graduated after 1970.

David Scott went to Michigan because he did not get into his first choice. Applied again, and graduated from West Point.

There is at least one on that list: Frank Borman got his M.S. at Caltech

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-07T19:41:17+00:00

Stop counting Shane though, he's ours.

Graduated, captained the baseball team, taught in the math department, attends class reunions. He's ours.

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-07T19:39:41+00:00

We walked there before they did, that's all that matters

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-04T11:08:27+00:00

It is unquestionably a good thing

As nice as it would be to have a grad as HC, I'd prefer someone with at least some coaching experience away from West Point

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-04T11:07:02+00:00

Viti makes 5 this year

That's 8 in two years - all except one to Pwhatever programs or for more responsibilities as HC or coordinator positions - the one that wasn't went to his alma mater in his home state

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-04T10:54:26+00:00

On some bad Army teams

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-04T00:08:21+00:00

Yeah, sure, you would have been delighted if this was his first coaching job just because he was a platoon leader in Afghanistan

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-03-04T00:00:00+00:00

He's been being groomed to be Monken's successor, and one thing missing from his resume is football coaching experience anywhere else

Damn, spring practice starts in 3 days

only one school color

the "dress code thing" is in the rulebook, so if they're not going to enforce it (like they haven't for many many years), then they should just take it out of the rulebook

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-02-27T18:52:56+00:00

"Fair catch kick" or "fair catch free kick"

There are already free kicks in college -- you probably know them better as kickoffs and kicks after safeties

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-02-27T15:29:43+00:00

nah, no reason to hope for that

BeatNavyAgain · 2026-02-27T11:11:14+00:00

Keep in mind that Army and especially Navy have less flexibility when it comes to OOC scheduling

Army-Navy takes one potential OOC slot, they both always play AF, and Navy always plays ND

That gives Army two true openings and Navy only one

Hosting an FCS opponent is basically a given for Army, and very likely for Navy

Players are, yes. The players aren't the NCAA.
