Ah, alas its Army football. Everybody loves Army, a military academy allowing young men who will serve our country, a chance to play football. We already know that the Army is heavily handicapped with the players they can recruit, but they still have a strong case to be New York’s team. Rich in history, the Black Knights have 3 Heisman trophy winners and 3 claimed national titles to their name. Albeit it was all done before 1960, none the less they are still history rich. After the year 1960 Army was steadily dropping its heavyweight belt to become only a lightweight contender in college football. There last bowl game was in 1996, and after that the line just went flat, becoming the laughing stock of college football. Under new coach Rich Ellerson, they have shown signs of life with a triple option offense, and going 5-7 this past season. Even with a 636-449-51 all-time record, Army was a team of the 40’s and 50’s. America loves you and roots for you, but not to the point to be anybody’s main team. God Bless America!
