Having grown up in Colorado Springs, Air Force was really my backyard hometown team as a kid (since I never, ever liked the Broncos). Fisher DeBerry and the Falcons had plenty of opportunity - even on moderate to really tough sechedules - to push beyond the Liberty Bowl, maybe even finish a season in the top 5 or 10. Having to recruit for the Academy overall (and not just the football program itself) hurts them a lot, though - just like any other Academy team. Endlessly preaching the gospel of a wishbone offense ain't exactly helping, either - surely they could give that a rest for ONE SEASON, maybe?

Anyway, I've since seen the light, and that has nothing to do with the fact that the Secretary of the Navy technically signs my paycheck. Since my dad was in the Army for so long it makes my holiday season even more cheery when I can make that phone call in December and just LAUGH at the final score. Doing that three years on the trot would be awesome... doing it at the end of a 9-2, 10-1, 11-0 season couldn't be topped for the rest of my sports-watching days.

Well, almost.
