Navy
A cold and empty display case stands somewhere in Clune Arena and in Annapolis Maryland. For years it housed the Commander In Chiefs Trophy, emblematic of college football supremacy among Air Force, Army and Navy. The Falcons have not had that trophy since 2016, Navy since 2015. The Falcons have won the trophy 20 times…… MORE
BOUNCE BACK WEEK
After being away for almost a month, the Air Force Football team finds itself home for a Friday night matchup against San Jose State. And if you thought this game was just going to be a speed bump for the Falcons, guess again. The Spartans went into Fayetteville and stunned Arkansas (yes SEC Arkansas) 31-24…… MORE
SEIZE THE MOMENT
Friday Night the Air Force football team rolls into Boise to face the Boise State Broncos.

A TRUE TEST
There is a lot of buzz about Saturdays Air Force Football game in Boulder against the CU Buffs. And for good reason.

What’s Next
So, we talked in this space about Air Force taking the next step with its basketball program by beating a good team on the road. So they roll in to Fresno State and come out with a 3 point win. After taking care of San Jose State next Saturday, the next challenge awaits-winning 3 straight…… MORE
THE GLASS CEILING…
Another great effort by the Air Force Basketball team in Las Vegas Tuesday night against U-N-L-V. A tight game, tense moments, and a chance, as it turned out, to be tied for 5th in the conference with a win. And, and, and….another road loss. This Falcon Basketball team has shown improvement, but has been inconsistent.…… MORE
Crossroads
After the Falcons were blown out at home against Colorado State Saturday February 2nd I drove home wondering what’s next for this team. They had won 4 of 5 MW games, with the lone loss a respectable showing against #6 Nevada. They played a poor first half against San Diego State and lost by 15,…… MORE
