Networks Starting to Turn on Army-Navy game's Scheduling Placement

Link to article:
TV networks starting to turn on Army-Navy game's placement

Credit to KnightKnight for emailing me the link to this article. This is still at the rumor stage--there were no network spokespeople cited in the article. But if influential talking heads, such as Paul Finebaum and Joel Klatt are saying it, likely the network execs are considering it.

IMO, it's only a matter of time before the college football playoff milieu drives the Army-Navy game into the meat of the regular season and has it count for the AAC standing.

Rather than fighting it, the academies should figure out the most advantageous timing and circumstances for implementing a change.

The Inside Stuff The Transfer Portal: Your Thoughts!

I have talked to several folks from fans to parents of players, coaches, and administrators on the topic of the Transfer Portal.

I have read a few articles that range from”

  • The pros and cons for young athletes when it comes to the college transfer portal
  • Is the Transfer Portal Helping or Hurting College Athletic Programs?
I have drawn my conclusions, but this is less about what I think about the subject and more about what the Army fans here on GBK have to say about the transfer portal. And not only what it means or how you feel relative Army West Point athletics, but the sphere of college athletics as a whole.

OT: Wildfires in California

I don’t think anyone around the country has truly realized the devastation that’s happening in LA.

There are now more than five fires burning simultaneously and they are ZERO % contained.

The beautiful Pacific Palisades where so many friends live has been burned to the ground.

Critical fire weather will last through Friday for portions of LA and Ventura counties, including major wildfire locations such as the #PalisadesFire, the #EatonFire, and the #HurstFire. Gusty winds and very dry conditions will continue to fuel fire starts and existing fires.

A new fire - #SunsetFire, has just happened and prompted mandatory evacuation orders for residents in the Hollywood Hills.

Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for parts of Santa Monica, Laurel Canyon Blvd (on the west) to Mulholland Drive (on the north) to 101 Freeway (on the east) down to Hollywood Blvd (on the south).

Millions of people were left without power on Wednesday as several wildfires raged across the metropolitan Los Angeles area.

The fires have destroyed or “substantially damaged” dozens of schools.

This is an unimaginable loss. Lives forever changed. And the fires still rage along with 100mph gusts.

Pray for LA


Call anyone you know in LA

Help anyone you know in LA

In these worst of times, let’s show the best of humanity.
