May not be "American" to say - but AFA football can suck it!

[McPeachy]

Arrogant cheating hacking pricks. Your coach is an asshole, and your fanbase has a large contingent that follow his lead.

Good thing our QB was able to push Fitzgerald off the top of one of our lineman, or he may have soon violated him. How was that not flagged?

Good to also see Caldouche up to the same tricks, I saw on 2 occasions him telling his players to take a knee on the field to "play hurt". How is it not also a penalty to see Caldouche on the 8 yard line fifteen yards off the sideline yelling for a time-out...or how about even just a sideline warning?

They tried it all to get up for this game - the Howdy Doody episode, the UW band disrespect, the Kanko hit, etc. This isn't the DeBerry AFA that I grew up watching and admiring...these guys are (for the mostpart) a pathetic representation of an admirable institution.

I am right with you, Peach.

AFA used to be my second favorite team in college football - but they have slipped WAAYYY down that list. No. 97 was a cheap shot artist, as were most of their players. He should have been flagged several times.

Howdy Doody should have been at least warned for coming onto the field. As for faked injuries, it is pillar to post with the flyboys...for the guy with a concussion, they rush to get them back into the game and for the guy with no injuries, they use them as bait to give the D a breather. What a frickin' joke.

Unfortunately, I am the same. So sad what their program has become. I place a lot of the blame on Calhoun.

That whole honor in all we do thing is just talk now.

yeah they sure aren't like they were when I was in school vs Roach, Tiller years, but man i didn't see an AF team throw it as much as I did saturday nite, but it was a fun game over all, but I can't like Calhoun at all

What I don't get is why isn't the NCAA getting involved....That kid was knocked unconscious, failed the concussion test, and went back in. How does that happen? Something has to change or someone is going to get seriously hurt.

You think the NCAA would go after ANY of the Service Academies? Hell no!
They truly don't care about the players, they care about their already suffering image so they can make more money!

If they go after AFA, then they look like the bad guys and the millions of ignorant sheep (those who follow and those who do not follow sports) come out and say "The NCAA is messed up, those are our soldiers, they protect our freedom how could you suspend/fine/sanction/etc.?"

 

[PokeOLoco]

Also havent heard much about the NCAA investigating sex/date rape scandal the academy is "looking into".

 

[VisorHair]

They've been doing this shit for at least the past 10 years. Can we all join in unison and commend DC for publicly going after Mr. Doody? That took balls and I wish I could see him do it again!

That moment made me like DC. Plus, it was fucking hilarious lol.

EXACTLY!

*But the concussion thing...how is nothing said about that

 

[BeaverPoke]

Hahaha I just started thinking about the rant again and started laughing...

"YEAH! RIGHT! LOOK AT ME MR HOWDY FUCKING DOODY"

Hahaha, I mean...who says that shit?! Lol...Good ole Dave Christensen, that's who.

I was told that there was some questioning that is starting today. FYI.

HAHA i am laughing at work right now. Cracks me up. Dave Christensen....wow that guy.

But I am in agreement too. I used to love the AFA. I cheered hard for them anytime they were playing anybody but the Pokes growing up. I loved all that they stood for. I hope they don't win another game this year so that they can Calhoun. That guy is a joke. I feel bad for those kids and their parents too.

Lol, it's hilarious when you actually thing about everything he said.

But yeah, even when I was growing up (I'm 23) I cheered for AFA.
Hell, just a few years ago they were everyones 2nd favorite team right?

Now, Navy seems to be the little sweetheart.

But I totally agree, I want Calhoun gone, then I won't mind the AFA.

 

[Slow Hand]

You can say what you want about Mr Howdy Dowdy but I did see him go up to Ethan Woods after the game and embrace him and offer condolences. So maybe just maybe he is a little human. ;-)

 

[PokeOLoco]

Really good to hear that Peachy.

 

[djm19]

as a person, he might be a decent man. As a football coach, I think he's a complete dink

Weird, because up until that point I'd been a defender of DC. That was the moment I saw DC for the narcissistic, frustrated, incompetent asshole he turned out to be.

As for the OP in this thread- I've commented for decades on many AFA fans' arrogance. Second, in my opinion, only to BYU* in terms of lofty self-opinion...

I hate the unpatriotic label one is labeled for saying anything critical of military or service academy's. The AF academy as a whole is a mess. This isn't the first rape scandal to hit the academy. Wasn't there one 7-8 years ago and they cleaned house?
