[...] they chose to twist Niumat’s words and imply that OMG he’s scared of Air Force. Even Troy Calhoun decided to get in on the action: Air Force coach Troy Calhoun was skeptical that Air Force’s service academy games would go away [...]

If Air Force wins all its games including the likes of Notre Dame and Michigan, except for losing to either Army or Navy, it is a losing season. Yet, despite the import placed on the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, we always respect our brothers-in-arms.

The disrespect shown by Coach N’s comments seemingly indicates he may not understand the mission of the service academies and what we are about, which begs the question, “What is he teaching the Squids?”

Thank you Coach Calhoun for developing leaders of the free world… and beating Army and Navy. Go Air Force, Beat the point spread!

AFA will be in a position to go 11-1(@ Michigan) in 2012. Tough games @ SDSU and @ Wyoming, both 2011 AFA losses. All the rest quite winnable with Navy at AFA, @ Army, and the usual MWC bottom tier , now @Fresno State-new coach-, Hawaii, and @UNLV . The sole national recognition game is @nd game @ Michigan-last visit 1964 when The Big Blue was Rose Bowl bound. Go AFA.

Navy hates playing the Falcons. A loss to the AFA kills their season in October. Navy has been in another world lately due to careful scheduling.
A return to form, the 80s, 90s and 2001-2003 and 2010 and 2011 is coming on. They will be killed in the Big East. The Hawaian Grad has been winning with Johnson players. Now he is playing with his own. He makes $1.5M per season. He wants out of Navy now while he can connect elsewhere with a good record. He will NEVER beat AFA in Colorado this October. USNA will lose to ND in Ireland, lose to a Big Ten Penn State at PSU and then have San Jose at Navy-SJU won last year-and play pasty VMI. Thus Navy will likely have three or four losses in its first five games in 2012. It gets Indiana at Navy and then a run of nobodies. Six wins against tier one schools will be hard.
Odds are Army may finally bite. Bleak fall for the Middies!

The Navy coach, quite often, talks before he thinks. He has a past history of doing this. I think deep down he would love not to play AF.
Deep downs he knows that he is going to lose more than he wins, againist Air Force.
Deep down he knows that he is going to beat Army the majority of the time.
Deep down, I dont thnk the Navy administration will ever let this happen and have probably already corrected his poor choice of words.
Deep down, the CIC is a really big thing!
GO AF!

Unfortunately, I think Coach N(?????)’s comment reflects his true beliefs, just as it does those of the vast majority in the Navy football program…that Air Force is beneath them, and they can call their own shots, because, after all, they’re Navy. They ignore the reality that AF has won the majority of the CIC trophies. Once, when discussing service academy football with a West Point grad, he told me pointedly that “Army only plays one game a year, and that’s Navy.” My gut feel is that regardless of the outcome of the games themselves, Army and Navy grads/players/staff don’t see games vs. AF as anything important. That’s the price you pay for being the younger brother of the three academies.

Navy coach sending signals to other programs — “I’ll leave Navy for the right price just as my predecessor at Georgia Tech” while he still has credibility as a coach.” Last loss to AF must have scared him. In other words “I’m gittin while the gittin’s good.”

Just another blowhard coach “thinking out loud”. Why would you rather play Notre Dame than AF as a fellow service academy unless all you cared about was the $$ payout?

Seeya in October Coach Ken!
