if the guy who did the above video has anything to do with Army scheduling, HC won't play at West Point again.
They should strip him of his show and involvement with the Cadet family, and teach him how to watch a game, but that won't happen
Go Cross Go✝️✝️✝️, congrats to the Cadets for their win on Veteran’s Day, but I am sure you know you aren't close to the better football team, despite your positive result.

Late, I know, but I did want to reflect on one comment by the announcers about the hit Matt took to his helmet that was possible targeting. They said it was not targeting because the Army player "clearly lowered his head (before hitting Matt with the cfrown of his helmet and knocking Matt's helmet up) and the top of his helmet hit the quarterback's face mask." Really? Isn't that what they call targeting since the facemask is part of the helmet? They lost me on that one.

Wow! Holy Cross "classless" and "dirtiest team" Army has played? We talk about our fans wearing purple glasses but this guy seems upset that Holy Cross didn't just let the cadets win because, you know, it was Veteran's Day. And those refs? They apparently also were unaware it was Veterans Day. I think this guy is bfoley’s cousin. I guess Ann McDermott rejected him, too. Has ANYONE at ANYTIME ever called our players dirty and classless before this donkey?

West Point is a special place. There is no place quite like it. West Point encompasses much of our nation's history from our founding days. HC at WP is more than the game. It is the whole experience - our nation's premier military academy, the historic campus, a beautiful locale on the magical Hudson, the corps of cadets, the parachutists , the band, the whole day. I was elated & honored that HC played Army at WP on Veterans Day. Would look forward to more football games against AWP at this truly wonderful place.

If you were at the game you saw two teams beat the crap out of each other and leave everything on the field.
Nothing cheap. Nothing dirty. Nothing classless. Both sides.
It's Division 1 tackle football. Emotions run high. People need to stop.

It's Division 1 tackle football. Emotions run high. People need to stop. Hard nosed Academy football also. We played a physical style and tried to smash them in the mouth. Wish we passed more but it was fun, old-school style football!

For the most part, I agree. But #2 for Army was more than chippy. He has been complained about before this season. And Saturday was no different. Must have been really tough for him knowing Coker is 10 times the player he'll ever be.

Amusing rant by this guy re one-sided officials hurting Army He didn’t mention the questionable roughing the passer call against us late Q4 Twice he lamented Army’s performance against a …middle of the road FCS defense…and the whining about penalties against Army and uncalled penalties for HC. Bottom line, the 2 TOs and blocked punt for a TD plus 5 sacks did us in even though HC still could have won the game! The only way to shut these guys up is to win when you should!

It's Division 1 tackle football. Emotions run high. People need to stop. I doubt there was a player on either side who didn't appreciate the hit on Army's qb on fourth-and-goal. Except the Army QB!

Al Skinner Then he dropped us from BC’s schedule Also the Fairfield coaching staff in 2007. Apparently a couple of Stag assistants were so upset that they nearly started a fight with Kyle Cruze in the parking lot. I think this was a game at Fairfield's old barn, not at Harbor Yards IIRC.

Silly little man with a lousy toupee. Suggest he get a new hairpiece. Other than that who cares about him & his classless comments. . Very much went off the rails the last couple of minutes after what I thought was primarily a decent commentary. Especially since he seemed to be complimenting us at times, stating at one point that we're probably better than a couple of teams that Army lost to this year. The comment about the refs forgetting that it was Veterans' Day and tried to steal the game from Army -- what game was he watching? Holy Cross 8 penalties for 68 yards and Army 6 penalties for 65 yards. And it was Holy Cross that had what would've been three key calls go against us in the 4th quarter, 2 of which were so bad that they had to be overturned. Dirty and classless - what? Are the service academies the only schools allowed to play tough, physical football? And the salute "to the Army crowd" was right in front of an entirely purple section of fans. And as he said, there didn't seem to be anything other than mutual respect between the teams after the game. I'll further my thoughts about last Saturday, Army podcast aside. Leaving the game, definitely mixed emotions. At halftime, it was a combination of feeling relieved that the game was still somewhat in reach as well as confidence that we'd finish a few drives in the second half the way our offense was moving the ball. As the second half went by (quickly), I began to think more and more about how we seemed to be the stronger team overall. So, as exciting as it was to watch us claw our way back into it, it also felt disappointing knowing that this was a winnable game that could've vaulted us into the drivers' seat for the postseason. This was also mixed with feelings of pride with regards to the outstanding performance of our defense. The more I digest it, the more I think that everyone who was at this game on the HC side will come to cherish how hard-fought of a game this was. This was an old-school football lover's type of game. Pure tug of war, goal line stands, bend-but-don't break defense. While we have now come to take for granted close games against FBS teams, that won't always be the case. Ultimately, this will go down as a great memory for the team that played on Saturday as well as the fans who were in the stands. It was definitely weird being inside Michie Stadium rooting against Army. Been going to games there since 1993 and this was the first time I was there for the opponent. Put it this way -- my grandfather played football for the Naval Academy (USNA '51) and I still find myself rooting for Army most of the time during the Army-Navy game.

I remember Han when he was playing at Lawrence Woodmere in LI. Didn't realize he quit the team, looks like it was late in the season his SR year at Fairfield.
