ARMY RUMORS & GOSSIP

AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) Tyree Jackson passed for 178 yards and a touchdown and ran for 34 yards and two more touchdowns to lead Buffalo in a 23-20 comeback win over Army on overtime on Saturday night. Adam Mitcheson secured the win with a 33-yard field goal in overtime as Buffalo (1-2) won its first game of the season. Army's Blake Wilson had missed a 43-yard field goal attempt in...

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) The Army Black Knights are honoring Brandon Jackson with a helmet sticker for the rest of the season. Jackson's No. 28 also will be stitched on the coaches' hats. The 20-year-old sophomore cornerback died early Sept. 11 after a one-car crash about 20 miles south of the West Point campus. Jackson, who grew up in Queens, New York, and watched Army football games...

EL PASO, Texas (AP) Darnell Woolfolk ran for three touchdowns, Andy Davidson rushed for 106 yards and another score and Army routed UTEP 66-14 on Saturday night. The battle of the nation's No. 4 running team against its No. 2 ball carrier never emerged in the Sun Bowl as Army steamrolled its way to a victory in the first meeting between the teams. Army is 3-0 for the first time...

EL PASO, Texas (AP) Heavy hearts because of the death of a teammate haunt the Army Black Knights as they begin a three-game road trip trying to keep their season-opening win streak going. ''These are great kids, and they are remarkably resilient,'' coach Jeff Monken said. ''West Point does have a way of preparing all of its people to be able to persevere through tough times. I...

Army coach Jeff Monken and his Black Knights knew the best way to honor Brandon Jackson was to return to the football field and practice with a purpose. So that's what the team did on Monday, a day after Jackson, a 20-year-old sophomore defensive back from Queens, New York, was killed in a single-car crash. ''Right from the get-go and just being out there was therapeutic for our...

Well, this is a new one. The start of the second quarter of Saturday’s Rice-Army game was delayed when one of the Army mules left its err… mark… in one of the end zones. In most cases, having a live mascot is an obvious upgrade to the foam and polyester alternative. However, they are not without their downsides, as today’s incident shows us. There is a tendency to make...

The Army Black Knights are looking to turn their recent luck around going into the 2016 season, but it certainly doesn’t seem like they are going to be able to do that. Things got much harder as potential starting quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw has left the team and will leave West Point. It was reported by Sal Interdonato of the Times Herald-Record that Bradshaw would be leaving the...

Growing up the son of an Army Officer, I had always heard about the big deal that was the annual Army-Navy Game. We would come together and watch it on the day of the SEC Championship growing up — as it was always played before — and now in the last seven years or so, it’s reserved as the last regular season game of the FBS season with an entire day dedicated to the festivities...

Last weekend’s Army-Navy game was surprisingly one of the best games we have seen out of the rivalry in recent years. The Midshipmen still went on to win their fourteenth straight over the Black Knights, but they surely got all they wanted from their biggest rival. The game is always one that people love to tune in to, simply because it is the only football game on national television...

Army had high hopes that this could be the year they could finally do it. They could finally beat Navy. After falling behind early 7-3, the Black Knights responded with a seven-play, 82-yard drive that ended with a 29-yard run by Tyler Campbell to retake the lead.Yeah, the option can work well in college when you have blocking like he does here: Tyler Campbell raced for the end zone...

Not long ago, Navy revealed college football’s hottest helmet design, planned to be worn against Army. All seven of Navy's helmets, with each design to be worn by a specific position unit. pic.twitter.com/A5i8Gs8UFH — College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) December 11, 2015 Seven different positions would wear certain helmets with battleships, each with a purpose for the position...

It has been a long, hard road for Army Football of late--and it isn't going to get any easier for the Black Knights when they face Navy in the final regular season game of the college football season Saturday. Winning it would easily make the season for the Black Knights who have not beaten their rival the last thirteen times the two have played.You would think that may dampen their...

When it comes to rivalries in sports, there may be very few (if any) that can match the passion and intensity of the Army / Navy game. The game hasn’t been for national championship placement or even conference titles in close to a half-century (only twice since 1963 have both teams had a winning record coming into this game), but none of that matters. From the moments where the...

The week after the conference championship games are finished and all the bowls are assigned, the talk around college football is who will win the National Championship. But there is still one game remaining in the regular season and that is the battle of the military academies. The annual Army/Navy has been called an “American tradition” by most and this year should be no different...

There’s only one college football game next Saturday – Army vs. Navy.  That’s where ESPN’s College GameDay will be.  The pregame show announced Saturday night that it’ll be broadcasting live from the site of the game between the Black Knights and the Midshipmen.  Army-Navy next week. Could not be more fired up. pic.twitter.com/WNBjQFYt8t — College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay...

Army is giving two people aged 18 or over the chance to spend the day with the Army football equipment staff, and allowing them to see the procedures that go on during gameday. One of the best parts about the whole experience is that it will take place during the Army-Navy game, one of the best games in terms of tradition all season. The game day experience agenda will include the...

Every year, Army and Navy end the college football regular season with their annual game following the conference championships. It is always one of the more intense environments of the season, no matter what the two teams’ records are. This year, many would believe that the Midshipmen will be able to handle the Black Knights pretty well. If they are to get upset in the game, I...

The sports world has been showing its support to France after yesterday’s awful terrorist attacks in Paris. Ahead of today’s game against Tulane, the Army Black Knights ran out with a flag of France, along with the American and team flags. This was a very cool gesture by the Black Knights.

Army-Navy is better known for the football rivalry, but the other sports played between the two service academies get pretty heated as well. The Black Knights and Midshipmen are currently squaring in men’s hoops, and Navy has some very cool new Under Armour Clutch Fit Drive sneakers for the occasion. Navy men's basketball to wear these new Under Armour Clutch Fit Drive...

Army, which has lost 12 straight games in its fantastic rivalry with Navy, holds a 7-0 lead midway through the second quarter this afternoon in Baltimore. Fans of the Black Knights have to be happy with this start for the team. In the last few years, the Army-Navy game has featured flashy new uniforms for both sides. Navy has a really strong look today, but it may be Army’s band...

At a time when few things shock us around the college football world, this has to be a bit surprising. Tom Roeder of the Colorado Springs Gazette is reporting that the Army football program committed multiple infractions of NCAA policies by enticing recruits with alcohol and women. In documents acquired by Roeder and the Gazette, there is evidence that team officials put recruits...

After the cacophony of bowl selections and coaching changes at the end of the regular season, there’s one college football game that takes center stage in the most unique of settings. It’s showcased as the definitive display of honor, duty and valor for young men who embark on careers where the enemy is no longer […]The post The Army Perspective: A Q&A With 2 Black Knights...

Army has made a change at head coach, as the team has relieved head coach Rich Ellerson of his duties. The announcement comes one day after the Black Knights’ 34-7 loss to Navy, which left Ellerson with an 0-5 record against the Midshipmen and gave Army a twelve-game losing streak in the rivalry, the longest in series history. AP Photo/Alex Brandon It appeared as if Ellerson was...

Saturday will see the 114th edition of the Army/Navy game being played, or as I like to see it--the most respected football game of the year. Yeah, I know that it doesn't have any future NFL stars, Heisman winners, or social media darlings. What it does have is something so much better--Men that are playing for the love of the game and when they are done will be putting their lives...

Last year, Nike hooked up both Army and Navy with some incredible uniforms for their annual rivalry matchup. It looks like the apparel manufacturer is at it again. Heidi Burgett, PR Director at Nike, has unveiled a few photos of what the Black Knights and Midshipmen will be wearing on December 14th. Check them out: Army/Navy uniforms for their 114th meeting on Dec. 14 pic.twitter�...
