Quick Thoughts: Army Wins the Fenway Bowl in Style

Ten years and a little over a month ago, I texted my then-high-school-girlfriend excitedly about football returning to Fenway Park. That night, Notre Dame went on to play Boston College in the inaugural Fenway Bowl, the first football game held at Fenway in nearly 50 years. My old girlfriend didn’t understand the magic of football […]

Army Football Preview: The Fenway Bowl

Welcome, friends, to our very last Army Football Preview of the 2025 Season. Despite having an up-and-down season, your Army Black Knights earned an invitation to the Fenway Bowl, one the American Conference’s better bowl tie-ins in terms of both exposure and payout. They’ll face the resurgent University of Connecticut Huskies. A win this week […]

That Time Army Played in Boston’s Other Ballpark

Army’s appearance in the Fenway Bowl will mark a momentous occasion. Saturday’s contest against UConn will become the football team’s first appearance at Major League Baseball’s oldest ballpark. The baseball team played at the Red Sox’s home for a game against Navy in 2018, but the football team has never played at Fenway. However, the […]

A Different View of the Rivalry

Army-Navy has always been the game for as long as I could remember. Yet, somehow in my bubble, or perhaps in my naïveté, I failed to realize how much the game meant to so many people. This game means every bit as much to others as it does to me, even those who have no […]

Quick Thoughts: Army Blows Another Two-Score Lead

Well friends, that sucked. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Your Army Black Knights came into this week’s game fired up. They played good complimentary football for a half and got up by two scores. But then the offense bogged down in the second half, allowing the other team to slowly but surely […]

Keys to Victory: Three Ways to Beat the Squids!

Friends, we’ve got the biggest game of the year tomorrow, and Army needs a WIN! Because of the way the Black Knights’ year has played out, tomorrow’s game will serve as something like a referendum on Army’s season as a whole. With a win, the team will move to 7-5, bring home the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, […]

Army Football Preview: BEAT NAVY!

Well friends, it all comes down to this. After doing things the hard way throughout much of the year, Army finds themselves with six wins, a Fenway Bowl invitation, and a chance to secure the Commander-in-Chief Trophy this Saturday. This year’s Army-Navy Game represents just the seventh time that the trophy will be definitively awarded […]

Study Session: Army vs. UConn Series History

Army faces a familiar opponent in an unfamiliar location in this year’s bowl game. The UConn Huskies await the Black Knights at Fenway Park for the schools’ tenth ever meeting. This surprise meeting will give the Black Knights the chance to even the series at five apiece, assuming they can notch a third straight win […]

Noah Short’s Passing Fancy

Last Saturday’s bowl-clinching victory over UTSA had its share of electrifying plays. Army SB Noah Short’s 32-yard pass to WR Brady Anderson was one of the most creative play calls of the season, setting up a game-tying field goal in the second quarter. That completion also put Short in rarified air. The explosive firstie slotback […]

Mike Evans: The Last Tight End to Score a Touchdown for Army

The Army Black Knights became bowl-eligible this past Saturday by becoming the first opponent to beat UTSA in a conference game at the Alamodome since 2020. However, this streak was not the biggest streak broken Saturday even. TE Parker Poloskey also became the first Army tight end to score a touchdown since 2008 with his […]
