I’ve had a lot of people ask me that, especially this week after the Falcons lost at Navy 48-45 to drop their record to 1-4.

A LONG YEAR?
A 1-3 start for the Air Force Football team has a lot of fans wondering if it’s going to be a long, losing season. After falling to New Mexico the Falcons play in Annapolis Saturday at Navy at 130 on 740 KVOR. It’s been a tough schedule, and you got the feeling last week that…… MORE
