2 games is a small body of work, but you get the sense that Air Force has a lot of work to do on offense. The unit has looked okay, not great, not bad, in 2 games this season. But there’s this feeling that something is missing. Maybe it’s because we have been spoiled the…… MORE

A Good Test for Air Force
A good test for Air Force Saturday in Boca Raton against Florida Atlantic.Coaches say you make the most improvement between game 1 and game 2. There’s no doubt the Falcons are playing a much better team in game 2.The Owls were blasted last week by Oklahoma, but everyone may get blasted by the Sooners this…… MORE
CRITICAL SEASON
Losing seasons are rare for Troy Calhouns’ Air Force Football program. More unusual is losing to Army and Navy in the same year. But that’s the backdrop for the Falcons as they open the season at home Saturday September 1st vs Stony Brook. There are plenty of questions for this 2018 version of Air Force…… MORE
CONSISTENT-INCONSISTENT
It’s the story of the season for the Air Force Mens Basketball team. Up and down..Good, and not good….The Falcons can’t find that consistency-the kind of play that helped them get 2 wins over Colorado State, a solid victory over New Mexico, and oh-so-close games against UNLV (twice) and Nevada. Instead, they lay an egg…… MORE
WINNING GAMES
Another tough Air Force Basketball loss at home Saturday January 27th as the Falcons fell to Boise State 70-64. If I hear one more person talk about moral victories I’m jumping off a bridge.

IT’S WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL

Heading into Wednesday Night’s home game against UNLV the Falcons have lost 3 in a row, and 6 in a row overall against Division-1 Competition. But there were signs of progress in Saturdays loss to Nevada. I came away impressed with the following-Air Force…… MORE
CAN’T LOOK BACK
The Air Force loss to Army last week, 21-0, may someday turn into a case history. Nobody saw that coming. Call it a trend of Army rising to the level of Air Force and Navy, call it a one off, whatever. This much I know. There’s no time to figure it out. The Falcons can…… MORE
AIR FORCE-ARMY
Saturday at Falcon Stadium Air Force hosts the Army Black Knights. Army is second in the nation in rushing, and Air Force is 3rd. There won’t be a lot of secrets between these two teams. In my mind this game comes down to a test of wills, and bravado. Who will be tougher on the…… MORE
NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
It has been one of the more interesting Air Force Football seasons in recent times. Friday night the Falcons got a 30 yard field goal from Luke Strebel on the final play of the game to beat Nevada. 2 weeks ago Air Force fell behind 27-0 to UNLV, turned the ball over 5 times, and…… MORE
