That's true. 9-3 is pretty respectable, even if they are in the lowly Mountain West Conference.

I believe, out of all of the Services, their football team is the best.

Air Force, football, Air Force Academy - chain of thought.

Why are the Army and Navy Acadamies referred to by their locations, and the Air Force's by its title. You might go to 'The Military Acadamy', but more likely is 'West Point'. You you might go to 'The Naval Acadamy', but more likely is 'Annapolis'. You do go to the 'Air Force Academy'. Nobody goes to 'Colorado Springs'.

It's because the meaning behind "Colorado" Springs brings to mind unpleasant reminders of the nature of the genetalia of Air Force personnel.

As much as the new motto sux, maybe they should borrow one from an old Army attack regiment I served with:

The Force Above the Best

Nice little double meaning there when ya think about it.....
