Was surprised no one posted this.
Anyway, here goes. We need to find some offense...somehow. Maybe it’s QB power from Gun like we saw late. I know a lot of people want us to air it out, but I’m not sure that’s our strong suit, especially with Tyler at QB.
If we can catch their D sleeping and get some guys wide open in space like we did with Robinson on the wheel route last week,fine; but I don’t think we need to start chucking it all over the yard and risk turnovers. Tyler is not Jabari Laws when it comes to his arm.

Army - 23
AF - 21

Maretzki kicks 3 FGs this week including one on the buzzer for the W.

Will Head Coach Jeff Monken remain at Army for the 2021 season or take on one of the openings, which right now are either Illinois or Vanderbilt?

I have no inside information on this - just wondering if the Falcons might use weather to not show up.

Last time for the November 7th game, their travel plans had them flying in on a Thursday. We all know how that turned out. No idea if they plan to fly today or Friday.

We suspect they do do Covid testing on Wednesday so if they are going to pull a no show, expect something today. Expect Monken willing to go to Falcons Stadium if that happens again. Like others here, would not be surprised if we do not play Saturday.

Stay tuned.

Arlington, TX – Army West Point will compete in the first college football game at Globe Life Field when they face off against foe Air Force in the Lockheed Martin Commanders’ Classic, it was announced today.

The two-year agreement begins on November 6, 2021 with Air Force as the home team. Army will be the home squad for the return meeting on November 5, 2022. Game times and broadcast information will be announced at a later date.

The Texas Rangers will host and operate the games with marketing assistance from Dallas-based LST Marketing. The 2021 matchup of FBS rivals will be the first college football game hosted at Globe Life Field.

“We are excited to announce the Commanders’ Classic series for 2021 & 2022, said West Point Director of Athletics, Mike Buddie. “It is thrilling to have this opportunity to play one of our rival academies in the state of Texas, home to many military installations and service men and women. I’d like to thank Sean Decker and the entire Texas Rangers organization for providing this wonderful opportunity for our cadet-athletes and fans, and to Lockheed Martin for its tremendous support of the event.”

In order to be seated in the Army sections of the stadium, tickets must be purchased through the Army West Point ticket office. Presale through Army will begin on Tuesday, January 5th. For more information call the Army A Club at 845-938-2322 or the Army Ticket Office at 1-877-TIX-ARMY.

“We are honored to have Air Force and Army play the inaugural football game at Globe Life Field,” said Texas Rangers Executive Vice President of Sports & Entertainment Sean Decker. “Honoring our military heroes is very important to the Texas Rangers, and we expect the environment and other activities surrounding this great matchup will make for a very exciting weekend in Arlington.

“I want to thank Lockheed Martin for its title sponsorship of the Commanders’ Classic. Lockheed Martin embodies our nation’s commitment to our Armed Forces, and it is the ideal relationship for this storied matchup. I also want to recognize the efforts of our partner LST Marketing for its assistance in making this event a reality.”

Army (8-2) and Air Force (3-2) will play this Saturday, December 19 at 3 p.m. at Michie Stadium in West Point, N.Y. in the 55th meeting between the two academies.

Air Force leads the all-time series, 37-16-1.

The Black Knights and Air Force have played just three times at a neutral site, 1959 (13-13 tie) in New York’s Yankee Stadium and 1963 (Army, 14-10) and 1965 (Air Force, 14-3) at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

The Black Knights are 16-14 overall in games played in the state of Texas. When playing in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Army boasts a record of 8-4, including a perfect 5-0 record in neutral site games in DFW.

Head coach Jeff Monken is 7-3 in games played in Texas during his seven seasons at the helm.

Globe Life Field opened this past spring and is the home of Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers, which played 30 games in the park without fans in the abbreviated 2020 season. The facility then hosted 16 MLB neutral site postseason games in the National League Division (3) and Championship (7) Series and the World Series (6). Games in the final two playoff rounds were played in front of approximately 11,500 fans per game, the maximum capacity allowed by MLB.

Designed with a retractable roof to be a premier multipurpose sports and entertainment venue, Globe Life Field was the home of more than 60 high school graduations in May and June and most recently hosted the 10-night Wrangler National Finals Rodeo from December 3-12 with sellout crowds of 14,500 per performance.

The Globe Life Field seating capacity for the Lockheed Martin Commanders’ Classic is expected to approximate the 40,518 figure for baseball. The 1.8 million square foot facility includes sports lighting as well as broadcast locations that are specific to football.

If we beat Air Force on Saturday, do we win the CiC Trophy? How does that work?

I had the opportunity to drop in on Army Head Coach Jeff Monken this morning at West Point, and needless to say and no surprise …. He is anxious and excited about Saturday’s contest against rival, Navy.




We talked about the Ohio State-Michigan game being canceled and of course, the Black Knights like any other program is fighting through the possibility of players being tested positive for COVID, which of course is a concern for Coach Monken and staff.

I also shared with him that we are taking a hit by some of the fans on the GBK site that we are throwing up softball questions to him and we both chuckled because we know that the picture is a little bigger than some might recognize when it comes to what is revealed vs not revealed.... although he completely respects and understands the fans eagerness to know more.

We conversed about several topics, but one that I thought interesting and worth mentioning, surrounds Navy’s quarterback, Xavier Arline, who Coach Monken believes will be the starter.

Coach pointed out that they recruited Arline, but believed they lost out to Navy for his talents because the QB was almost promised the starting role if he were to commit. Clearly, Coach Monken would never attempt to put that type of narrative on the table, especially when the Army program had several quality quarterbacks in the system. The only thing that he could guarantee Arline would be the opportunity to compete for the spot.
