According to the Cadet Third Class (that's Air Force for 'sophomore'!) who sent this along, a big wank-y banner has been hung in the Air Force Academy's dining hall ahead of tomorrow's big Army game. Is this the type of young men we want waging our wars in the future? Deadspin says: god yes. More »

Well, Colorado is east of Idaho, we suppose. And, hey, Thursday night blue turf on ESPN, within, like, a few years. That's something to look forward to, right? Maybe? Anyone? [USA Today] More »

With three years remaining on his contract, Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry just announced that he won't be returning as coach of the Falcons. He has been coaching the team for 23 years and even won national coach of the year honors in 1985. Recently, he had fallen on hard times and many had accused him of watching idly by while the game whizzed by him. More »

Not only was the Falcons' starting guard voted to the 2005-2006 Mountain West all-conference first team by leading Air Force in scoring at 14.8 points per game and assists with 78, but he will always be more popular then you. He currently has 1,031 friends at the United States Air Force Academy, and many more friends in over 303 universities listed on his Facebook. He is also a proud member of groups such as,: "Management Majors: The Only Way to Roll" and "You Might Have Seen Me On Facebook, But Shawty You Don't Know Me." So please, after Antoine finishes driving through you like a knife through butter, don t hate him too much. After all, Hood and many more men and women like him are the reason you have the freedom to watch March Madness in the first place. More »

Fascinating column on the addictive, compelling site Black Athlete Sports Network comparing the situation involving Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry's comments on black athletes and the Astros' dubious distinction of being the first team since the 1956 Yankees to make the World Series without a single black player. The basic argument: As misguided as DeBerry's comments might have been, it's inconceivable that the Astros (and Bud Selig) have escaped equal (or more) criticism: More »

OK, so we've been watching the video of Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry's comments about African-American players, specifically that ""they run extremely well." First off, DeBerry — who we have a sneaking suspicion would be getting a bit more leeway if his team hadn't lost five games already this season — is clearly one of those old coaches who has lost touch with how the media works, saying things that will obviously be perceived poorly and make him look like a tottering geezer who knows nothing about today's athlete. We also think that the casual nature of DeBerry's remarks hints at a deeper-seated belief system that would make us very uncomfortable. More »
