Letter to Army fans from AD

Excerpt:
As we move forward with our plans for the fall, we cannot ignore the realities of the current situation and must anticipate that conditions may worsen to the point where competing this year would not be feasible. We have contingencies in place if competitions are canceled or venue capacities are significantly limited.
In the event games are canceled and not replaced, or future regulations restrict the number of attendees allowed, season ticket holders would have three options to choose from regarding their previous payments for season tickets:
1) Convert the previous payment to a 2020 tax-deductible athletic gift
2) Apply payments toward the 2021 season
3) Request a refund
I reiterate that no decisions have been made at this point regarding attendance at Army West Point events for the 2020 season. Further guidance will be given to season ticket holders should that status change in the coming weeks.

Way Way Over His Head

Trump ignored the dying children in cages, he ignored every natural disaster that has befallen this country, he ignored warnings of the corona virus, and then ignored the virus itself. He ignored police violence and rather encouraged it. He ignored anti-Semitic attacks. He ignored racial strife, and ordered the military to attack Americans who were exercising their rights to protest peacefully. He has ignored, criticized and alienated our NATO allies. He ignored our troops when threatened by his friend Putin.

Trump did not ignore efforts to get Russia reinstated into the G7. He did not ignore freezing aid to Ukraine, he did not ignore withdrawing from Syria which helps Russia. He did not ignore defending the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, He thanked Putin for expelling US diplomats, he was open to lifting sanctions on Russia. He has not ignored a gun toting militia that threatened a Governor, and stormed a Capitol building and said we should give them what they want. He called White nationalists very fine people, and kneeling football players Sons of bitches. He is now ignoring the facts that Russia has put a bounty on the heads of our military troops!! He did not ignore a video of a supporter shouting White Power, and reposted the video.

If Mitch McConnell and other Republicans think any of this will be forgotten, they have all lost their minds! They will never be able to wash the stink of Trump off of them, and neither will their supporters! Mitch M counted on the racists of this country to carry Trump through a re-election, what he didn’t count on was Trump’s allegiance to Mother Russia. What he didn’t count on was Trump’s uncontrollable need for adoration that he will say the most racist things to appeal to his supporters. He is pushing them away, because those kinds of things are only supposed to be whispered behind closed doors. He is putting his racism and hate right out there, front and center! There is no mystery about who Donald Trump is, nor who his supporters are, nor how he has been used by the Republican Party to push their agenda forward, which is an entire other rant!

Good morning everybody! Have a great Monday!

No Oklahoma Fans Allowed At Oklahoma Game (Cuomo)

Fans will not be allowed to attend Oklahoma at Army with New York order

With college football in 2020 still hanging in the balance, OU’s season has already taken a significant hit.

OU is currently scheduled to travel to West Point, NY, in week four to face Army. Should that game happen, the teams will be playing in an empty stadium.

On Tuesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo banned fans from attending any sporting events in New York.

He's basically banned the whole country.

The Inside Stuff GBK: Army Football 2020?

There have been several threads started and plenty of chatter when it comes to Army football 2020. I will attempt to provide my insight to the topic (albeit brief), but as you can imagine, all of this is subject to change as everyone continues to maneuver through the very surreal time in our nation.

Most of the Army football players are still here doing STAP or getting ready for CBT/CFT or other summer training. They do get together almost every evening and do voluntary workouts and have team building events on the weekends since they can’t go off post.

From those that I have been in contact with, they are optimistic that there will be a 2020 Black Knights' football season. Some suggest that Houston is not likely because it is one of the hotbeds for COVID-19 and is an overnight with a flight.

Hence, the program is looking at substitutes and modified schedules, etc.. As of now, Oklahoma is a go with a reduced capacity limitation. However, I don’t know how reduced, but if we were to guess, probably less than 50% capacity
