"All Intercollegiate athletic competitions at service academies-Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard-suspended due to shutdown."

This just popped up on CNN.com

Says they will try to play home contests, but may cancel them as well. AFA was slated to play Navy this weekend, but SDSU next week.

On the bright side, at least AFA might not lose this weekend.

Saw on the news that AFA is trying to see if they can raise private $$ to fund the travel costs now. Wow.

I'd be willing to contribute to sending them there - provided they don't come back.

United Air offered to fly the Falcons to Maryland for the game.

Game on. Figured it was the government trying to sell fear and panic (once again) to get what they want.

BS politics. What makes this government shutdown different from all of the past government shutdowns when absolutely ZERO football games faced cancellation?

Good to hear the games are on though.

Because this one's not about funding of services, it's about political grandstanding

And looking like heroes so they can be re-elected. Guaranteed if this was an election year there wouldn't be a govt. shutdown.

I predict if a Republican gets the White House in 2016, the first order of business....repeal Obamacare!!!!!

BTW, Delta flew the Falcons to Maryland for the game.

After the oh so sweet revenge, I don't have much else against Air Force anymore.

Though Howdy Doody REALLY should not have put the kid back in who got knocked out by Kankolongo. Just plain stupid.

Exactly...as someone that works in the sports medicine field I am still shocked that the player saw the field again, insanely irresponsible of both the sports medicine AND coaching staffs.
