Lacrosse season is over, Army Baseball has won the Patriot League Championship for an incredible sixth straight time, and we now have about 100 days until the start of college football season. That still seems like an unbearably long time. Experience shows, however, that the time flies. This series will start our post-spring look at […]
Only twelve months ago, Army won the 2023 Patriot League Championship Series over Bucknell in two games by a combined score of 41-11. Scoring 41 runs in a two-game championship series is not normal. Friends, that is an ass-whuppin’. Bucknell must have carried that chip on their shoulder for a full year, too, because when […]
Every year around Selection Sunday, there is much discussion within the lacrosse community about potential expansion of the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship field. Typically, we discuss the issue — hotly — for perhaps a few weeks in early May and then forget about it until next year. It’s a seemingly never-ending cycle. Who […]
Late in the Sunday rubber match with Navy, Nikolai Busko, Army’s play-by-play announcer, said, “THAT puts more candy in the pinata!” At that point, Navy held a 6-5 lead, having pulled themselves out of an early 5-2 hole. In addition to candy — the Army-Navy Star — this game had a lot at stake. Both the […]
Friends, your Army Black Knights beat Loyola, then BU beat Colgate, and then Lehigh beat Lafayette. With that, Army captured the number one seed and home field advantage heading into the Patriot League Tournament for the first time since 2010.

Well the question has been answered – at least for now. If Army or Navy earn a spot in the new expanded playoff, the committee won’t consider the results of the Army-Navy Game. What’s the problem? Traditionally, Selection Sunday occurs on Championship Weekend, the first weekend of December. When it was just a potential New […]
We’re down to the last week of the Patriot League’s regular season, and a lot rides on the outcomes of this week’s games. Your Army Black Knights, currently the consensus #12 team in the country, could still finish as high as first in the conference and as low as sixth heading into the conference championship […]
Well friends, last weekend went about as well for the Black Knights as it could possibly have gone. Yeah, the Army-Navy Game was arguably more exciting than it needed to be. But it was Army-Navy. I mean, I’m not sure what you were expecting, but both teams were always gonna bring their best stuff. The […]
I went to Army Football’s annual Black & Gold Game last night as a guest of my good friend and USMA ‘95 classmate Terry and, more specifically, his son Tex, a recruited tight end out of Gonzaga College High School in Washington, DC. Interesting and enjoyable experience. I came away thinking that Army looks as […]
Army dropped a tough home loss to Colgate on freaking Senior Day this past weekend, putting them on the outside looking in as they attempt to qualify for this year’s NCAA Tournament. The team is still ranked 12th in the nation, but candidly, those rankings no longer remain relevant. The Patriot League will send exactly […]
