What I think is terrible is that some of the PAC 12 teams backed out because they particularly didn't want to play against Army's wishbone saying they don't have time to prepare. In my eyes that equates to "we're afraid we'll lose." I love what Monken said, "If we got a Dec. 31 bowl game, if you call us on the 29th, we'll have those guys flying there on the 30th,"
Another Monken quote: "The bottom line is there were enough people who kept saying, 'No, we don't want to play Army, we don't want to play Army,'" Monken said. "And I'm sure they don't want to have one week to get ready for the option [offense] or whatever, but our players, we've got guys on our team that wouldn't be invited as walk-ons to the teams we're getting ready to play. We've got guys from California, they didn't have a Pac-12 walk-on offer, and they are starting for us."
My second favorite college coach.
Go Army!!!!
