ESPN Article on Army Football during the pandemic

Thought this was a good read. He mistakenly refers to companies as regiments, but other than that, solid article. I love LTG Williams’ story about playing Pitt.

Maybe the postponement of Saturday's game against Air Force is a blessing in disguise. Honestly speaking, if it weren't for the CiC Trophy being involved, I could honestly care less one way or the other if Air Force was on our schedule.

I rather see us pick 1 or 2 local colleges (e.g., Rutgers, Syracuse, Boston College, etc.) to play each year and get rid of AF.

That really don't add anything to our schedule minus the CiC portion. I welcome other posters' thoughts on subject.

Independence Bowl Opponents (bye week bonus)

Army West Point’s opponent is supposed to come from the PAC-12 Conference.

In a normal year, bowls do some horse trading with other bowls and conferences to create better matchups. In 2020, who knows. Just remember, every team that plays is bowl eligible.

The PAC-12 will not begin their season until November 7th and each team is scheduled for six games plus one more game December 19th. So we may not know Army’s opponent until the 20th.

Unlike the math challenged Big Ten and Big 12 conferences, the PAC-12 actually has twelve teams by changing their name/number each time teams joined. We probably will play a team that finishes third or fourth in their division.

Four potential opponents have never played Army - Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon State, and UCLA. We almost played the Bruins if we had been bowl qualified in 2011 (Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl).

Six of the teams we have played two or three times:

* Colorado (1-1) both games at Michie, a win in ‘47 and a loss in ‘77
* Oregon (0-0-2) away and home ties in ‘69 and ‘70; wanted us to play in 2016 but it never happened
* Southern California (0-2) Yankee Stadium and away losses in ‘51 and ‘52
* Utah (3-0) all wins at home in ‘57, ‘63, and ‘67
* Washington (0-2) both close losses in Seattle in ‘88 and ‘95; game in 2000 cancelled due to CUSA schedule
* Washington State (1-1-1) home win in ‘63; home tie in ‘78; and close away loss in ‘80

California (4-2) away wins in ‘60 and ‘66; home win in ‘68; home loss in ‘73; away loss in ‘74; and home win in ‘80; games in 81 and 82 cancelled for some reason.

Stanford (5-7) loss to them in ‘28 at Yankee Stadium when we did not play Navy; loss in away game on December 28, 1929 that was essentially our first postseason game; win in the Bronx in ‘48; away win ‘50; away loss ‘65; home win ‘67; home loss ‘71; away loss ‘75; upset home win ‘76; away win ‘79; home loss 2013; and away loss 2014; cancelled game in ‘80 in order to play California.
