gofast_ER 0 #2 December 2, 2006 well as we would say "let em sink let em sink" and so on and so on. To be honest, I don't understand the grudge between the army and navy. Or what I see a lot more of is the grudge between marines and army. Oh well though.I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Back in the 30's and 40's, Army had teams that could compete with the best in the nation. Nowadays, Army would be better off in Division 1-AA, sorry to say..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are no 350 lb linemen.

Plus the Academies' IC Athletes also get out of a lot of .mil stuff while they're in training/in season. How many cadets get a few nights in the Hilton prior to a game?Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

He did say that the Athletes DID male Height and weight in the Army, they got taped but have low Body Fat %'s so the ystill make it by the Army Regs. As for AF or Navy I would hope it was similar. AF and Navy allow "Buy outs" or some thing like that, isn't that how David Robinson got to the NBA? MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
