It will be a great game but let’s hope we leave there relatively injury free.

Excuse my ignorance, but what’s the difference between Air Force and the other service academies where they can have a 320 lb player?

It’s not ignorance; it’s a very good question. The commandant at each service academy can set rules about physical fitness, maximum size, etc. A couple of years ago, AF changed its rules, and the O-line and D-line have been getting increasingly larger. Regulations may still require weight loss (or that they quit bulking up) before graduation / active duty. I’m not sure what Army and Navy are doing, but from watching on TV, I think they’re doing something similar.

The Owls had a safe and enjoyable flight to the land of presently clear skies and crisp cool air. All are accounted for, settling in for the night, and ready to rock and roll tomorrow for the UPSET! 😎
