Losing seasons are rare for Troy Calhouns’ Air Force Football program. More unusual is losing to Army and Navy in the same year. But that’s the backdrop for the Falcons as they open the season at home Saturday September 1st vs Stony Brook. There are plenty of questions for this 2018 version of Air Force…… MORE

CONSISTENT-INCONSISTENT
It’s the story of the season for the Air Force Mens Basketball team. Up and down..Good, and not good….The Falcons can’t find that consistency-the kind of play that helped them get 2 wins over Colorado State, a solid victory over New Mexico, and oh-so-close games against UNLV (twice) and Nevada. Instead, they lay an egg…… MORE
WINNING GAMES
Another tough Air Force Basketball loss at home Saturday January 27th as the Falcons fell to Boise State 70-64. If I hear one more person talk about moral victories I’m jumping off a bridge. A loss is a loss. But, can a loss sometimes help? I think so, but only if it produces tangible results…… MORE
IT’S TIME
There are moments in life when you receive a promotion, or change jobs, or move into the next phase of adulthood and it’s a significant accomplishment. That moment came for the Air Force Men’s Basketball Team Wednesday night when they beat Colorado State in Fort Collins 76-71. It was much more than one team outscoring…… MORE

CAN’T LOOK BACK
The Air Force loss to Army last week, 21-0, may someday turn into a case history. Nobody saw that coming. Call it a trend of Army rising to the level of Air Force and Navy, call it a one off, whatever. This much I know. There’s no time to figure it out. The Falcons can…… MORE
AIR FORCE-ARMY
Saturday at Falcon Stadium Air Force hosts the Army Black Knights. Army is second in the nation in rushing, and Air Force is 3rd. There won’t be a lot of secrets between these two teams. In my mind this game comes down to a test of wills, and bravado. Who will be tougher on the…… MORE
NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
It has been one of the more interesting Air Force Football seasons in recent times. Friday night the Falcons got a 30 yard field goal from Luke Strebel on the final play of the game to beat Nevada. 2 weeks ago Air Force fell behind 27-0 to UNLV, turned the ball over 5 times, and…… MORE
WHATS WRONG WITH AIR FORCE FOOTBALL
I’ve had a lot of people ask me that, especially this week after the Falcons lost at Navy 48-45 to drop their record to 1-4. Someone once said about their football team, “We are who we are.” The Falcons are a team that’s trying to rebuild after losing 32 seniors. They have new players getting…… MORE
A LONG YEAR?
A 1-3 start for the Air Force Football team has a lot of fans wondering if it’s going to be a long, losing season. After falling to New Mexico the Falcons play in Annapolis Saturday at Navy at 130 on 740 KVOR. It’s been a tough schedule, and you got the feeling last week that…… MORE
