I don't blame Army at all. Great crowd it was; great atmosphere. These are good things. (But UTEP was not.)
My problem was the fact that they showed West Point so much respect and love, while simultaneously getting pounded into dust and being humiliated.
To a point. I get that they're all going to serve their country, fine and dandy. The whole Army appreciation thing iscool... the big flag, cool. But they were turning it into an West Point love fest all game. From the videos from the mayor and the state Representative. Theres a point where they're another team coming in and we're supposed to want to beat them. Because I know we weren't having the mayor say how honored he was having the Air Force Academy in town when we were in the WAC.
I'm trying to say there's a distinction between the two:
1: the Army
2: West Point the team we were playing and we were supposed to act like we were supposed to beat.
All the honoring our soldiers was pretty cool. I liked all that. But I feel like we showed West Point, the football team too much respect.
You can read minds now Amazing Kreskin? Let me ask you this, do you think Army or Air Force, or any big program that comes in to a small school get the red carpet rolled out for them?
And I'm not going to run around in circles. It's easier to block you than keep repeating my point. Now go make another 10 accounts.
Does this guy understand how to read and comprehend? He obviously doesn't get what I said. But whatever.
I think we have another a Chi on our hands.

I certainly understand what you're saying. We shouldn't be expected to show "love" and "respect" for ANY opponent playing us in our house. West Point is a school, not a branch of the military. Those Black Knights players aren't yet soldiers serving our nation...not yet. They're playing football, on an government appointment, for a higher educational university, and they came to the Sun Bowl to kick UTEP's collective asses, and we allowed them to do it. You want to show them love and respect? Do it after you've whooped their asses.

So the question to you is: Would you have had a problem with all the love and respect if UTEP won?
and we allowed them to do it.
Yes. It doesn't change the fact you're "kissing the ass" of an opposing football team, whom has come to your stadium looking to beat you in front of your home crowd.
Who's "we"? The reason UTEP lost is because of UTEP's poor performance. Nobody "allowed" anybody to win.
Apparently, you didn't watch the game. UTEP allowed Army to do what they wanted, how they wanted, and whenever they wanted. There was little to no resistance.
Why didn't you complain about this before the game?
This was more than just a game and that's how the game was promoted. Not sure why you don't get that.
WTF are you referring to here? This statement makes absolute zero sense. And on that note, I'm not getting suckered in to arguing with Chihuhuas troll. You're obviously back, with a new monicker. I'm out.
