Quick Thoughts: Army Boots It in America’s Game

Well friends, that sucked.  If you’re wondering how I’m feeling after that game, I’m feeling like a guy who drove 500 miles round-trip to watch his favorite team get the shit kicked out of them on a national stage.

Quick Thoughts: Army Beats the Roadrunners to Stay Perfect in the American Confence
