Love her or hate her, Judy did everything to get USF to be an academic powerhouse - AAU Membership, Grants, Research, etc…
Football or no, it’s a better school, hands down, to UCF - the rest will come
23 days of Countdown to Kickoff, the best 23 of 2023 - 23 points scored in an Air Force beatdown!
A crushing 17pt 1Q combo’d w/AF’s first 6 possessions being 2 fumbles, 2 TOD’s, and 1 INT
Armys 1st ranked W since beating AF 51 years earlier to the date!
What a night it’s been. Thumbs numb, eyes dry, Twitter feed no longer updatable, but we made it.
Look for a game breakdown tomorrow AM, threadstyle.
WHAT A GAME!

No words do justice to this coach, this program, and the dedication to victory. Sustained commitment to excellence in the face of practical realities and limitations of FBS football at a service academy. GREAT ARTICLE

For clarification, Army moving from gun-option to under center option
Not to get into intricacies of triple option/flexbone/spread option/wing T…BUT, heading back UC following recent internal appointment of OC/good hair aficionado Cody Worley
Oh yeah, and we ‘bout to run AAC
FBS Off-season-program of the day.
ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS
- Really solid HS signing class this year
- 2024 will be Army’s first year in AAC, great schedule to start (AF, ECU, UTSA, RICE, etc)
- Returning to triple option in 2024 👀👀
Excited to see what Army does in the AAC.

18 days until gameday! Our Beat Navy Countdown to Kickoff forges ahead by looking back at 1 of Army footballs defensive TD’s, scored by

I’ll never forget laughing that day, not when it was announced a few months later that Coach Monken was headed to West Point - we haven’t looked back since!

@SSN_USF
Isn’t it “The War on I-4”?
Would LOVE to see this at Ray Jay, don’t know if the Bulls could pull it out, but we be a sweet send-off to that Mickey Mouse college…
To be more historically accurate, this should really be a punt block for TD, as canonically we have serval more of those against the squids…but I’ll take it

all-time passer in Army history - Kelvin Hopkins Jr. Let’s looks back at his magnum opus - absolute route of Houston in 2018 Armed Forces Bowl
Another absolutely stellar performance from the Black Knights last night across the board. Without reading or listening to any other analyses, here’s my take on our (at times) dominant / (at times) nail biting 37-29 win over UTSA
A Thread
Monken just finished at the podium. Classic Monken - humble, understated, internally complimentary of work ethic not talent, externally complimentary to competitors and conference - the highlights:
Happy R-Day cadets!
You’re gonna get yelled at a lot, there’s gonna be a lot going on. Stay cool, keep your wits about you, stay focused on the task and keep your head on a swivel.
Next 47 months are gonna rock - LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Well known to Army fans for once holding a 240+ rush attempt streak without losing a yard.
Big man will be reborn in new gun-option. Look forward to him getting the ball in space, not b/c he’s gonna Barry Sanders his way through the D, b/c he’s gonna run downhill and angry
● RB Spotlight ●
Jakobi Buchanan - Army
• Buchanan is a TD Machine & OUTSTANDING Goal Line RB. In his career he's rushed for 1,403 yards 24 Touchdowns.
Step in front of this man at your own risk!!!!!!!
💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥
Quinn Maretzki made a career-best 12 FGs in 2023 👏👏👏
He was a perfect 4-for-4 in CIC games and saved his career-long 47-yarder for America’s Game in our 17-11 victory!
#GoArmy
That was the most Army drive we have seen all year. Gotta clean up the passing (and 4 in one drive is a little high, LOL), but (shotgun notwithstanding) that LOOKED like an Army drive, and it ate clock, and it got us 7, and it was ground and pound and hell yeah Army Football!!!
2024 Beat Navy Countdown to Kickoff moves on - 13 days til season and we look at

- Firstie, QB, Captain, Diesel Truck : Bryson Daily
Hairs breadth from 1k pass&run yrd in’23, lookout for another big year. Something to watch in ’24: no one steals an extra yrd like this guy!
Their offensive line coach…look like he could play fullback right damn now. He get into a 3 point stance, he’ll probably run into a deal truck and the diesel truck be apologizing! Beat Navy!
Army - UMass Debrief - 🧵
How to pull any good from a L where we were favored -10? Welcome to 2015 2.0.
The offense is still developing, the players young and inexperienced OR veteran to a completely different system. In a nutshell, do I have hope? Absolutely - let’s talk…
@AuburnBlazer
“Rivalry’s don’t mean anything if it doesn’t have CFP implications…”
Just the kind of bullshit I would expect from people who don’t understand what a rivalry really is…
1945 Army:
9-0
40.7 PPG win margin
7 wins against teams with over .500 win%
5 shutouts
6 wins over final AP ranked teams
4 wins over top 10 teams
1 win over top 5 team
By and large:
VERY pleased w/Army D - keep it up!
Army O:
Passing better than expected
Bryson playing like a dog (as expected)
Special Team

We HAVE GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
