Easy to root against on the football field. Easy to pull for on the battlefield.
Yeah, I don’t get this at all. Saturday is a football game, nothing more. I never boo an opponent when they come onto the field, and I’m not rooting against the other team’s players to get hurt or have bad lives. You’re allowed to respect players and still want your team to win and their team to lose
This.
Didn't say I didn't want my team to win, now did I counselor? Just can't seem to build up any antipathy like last Saturday. Accuracy in language is important, don't you think? Let's not be misconstruing things that are very plainly said.
Did I say anything about rooting for? Just can't develop a level of antipathy like last Saturday.
I agree with this as a general rule. I cheer both teams at all HS events. But I made an exception for Duke and their dirty play validated my instincts. Every other team does deserve a fair chance to feel welcome for a quick minute. Booing while distasteful, is more a message that we recognize you are coming into our house to take something from us. It is not a personal insult, or threat, or intent to injure anything but their morale. But FWIW I also don't believe in unconditional love and that respect is earned. Appreciate AFA making this trip and hope they have a great performance. Just not too great.
Ha! You don't know much about life in the Air Force. We're not talking about the Army, Navy, or Marines.
I totally disagree. I cheer my head off for UConn and boo everyone else the moment the game starts until it ends. I'd boo them off the field too if I could find them.
I can't relate because I've never been an early riser......
This wasn't gonna happen with the government shutdown, since all public outreach was cancelled. But now it can, I think.

I actually think you can hit the quarterback a lot more in the triple option than in most other formations. He is a primary ball carrier #1 and that formation thrives on trickery. Faking to the fullback and such so refs let you take a crack at the guy that “fools” you into thinking he handed it off. No different that hitting the fullback after the qb pulls the ball out.
I do like that coach. Plain English explanations of even the minutiae. Similarities with HCJM.Not sure if this was posted on here yet?

I found the coach and the players all very likeable. Gotta love the service academies!
You can crash down the ends to disrupt the option but they can’t take too shallow or deep a path or you get burned. Not a fan of having the ends maintain outside leverage and getting strung out hoping LB fills because if the LB doesn’t get there or overshoots the cut up hole is huge. Frankly, they need to put a lot of bodies in the box play soft cover and make them throw. The best way to stop an option is penetration into the backfield and everything being pursued inside out. Our biggest D weakness is we way over pursue.
Unless I’m misreading, ‘gonna be tough to root against’ has some suggestion of rooting…
