Jeff Monken has done a hell of a job at Army

The better team sometimes beats the team with more talented players. Think about the times we beat Clempsum and Georgie.

I like the idea but I think it’s always A No No to tell people my age they aren’t talented.

Truth hurts, huh?

These guys go to West Point. Pretty sure they've been told a lot worse than that. They also know the reality of the situation. I'm fairly confident that they won't be triggered by their coach repeating the obvious (which by the way is that they may be less talented, not that they aren't talented). Those guys are tough and smart and value teamwork above all else. Hence why Monken's theme is that the most talented players don't always win, but the best team usually does.

Army up 7-0 early over UM.

7-7 after Mich extends a drive with a fake punt and then a picky pass interference call in the end zone on another 3rd down conversion.

Man please!

Guess it just ticked me off a little. My former HS teammate and good friend is their starting center.

I bet that message didn’t hurt your friend’s feelings.

I hope not, but I bet it pissed him off, which is prob what coach wants.

Yes....telling his team that they are a great team probably hacked him off bad. It would have been much better to tell all his players they are the most talented on the field. Teamwork, hustle, and heart don’t matter. Army will win because...more talented.

Our youth doesn’t have much grit...but a lot of those who do have it end up at places like West Point.

Imo what’s known doesn’t need to be said/heard. Let your team show up and do their thing don’t make it a movie scene.

Oh good grief. Like I said. I’m glad our armed forces and service academy guys have grit and aren’t snowflakes.

14-7 Army with 2 and half minutes to go before halftime. D needs to make a stop and hold the lead going into halftime.

Yes, it’s all about teamwork. This is the same idea behind them not putting their names on their jerseys. “Army of one” ring a bell?

14-7 Army over Michigan, late in the first half.

Army up 14-7 at the half. Yeah...a lot of teams would be lucky to have Monken. He knows how to get his teams ready for big games.

Michigan keeps playing sloppy and they will have a tough time getting ahead.

But Harbaugh can always tell his team they will win regardless of sloppy play. Because....talent.
