Yeah they are going back to the pre-1999 teams names of Cadets, which mirrors the Midshipmen team names at Navy. I don't really care for the team name that much since the Army brand was always way stronger, and will be more interested in the uniforms.

It's this. "Black Knights" was basically an unofficial nickname for like 70 years, I think some journalist dubbed them "The Black Knights of West Point" or somesuch and it just stuck. They made the change to it official in '99.

As to what happens to the uniforms, I just hope they keep away from that goofy digicam they've tried a time or two. It looks awful.

GT's B-Back situation got worse.

Quaide Weimerskirch, our early enrollee who was expected to get some significant playing time next year, injured his foot and is out for the rest of the Spring and questionable for the season. After some shuffling around, our depth at B-Back is now C.J. Leggett, a converted LB, and two walk-ons.

There are rumors that we're getting a transfer B-Back, though. No names yet, though speculation is that former Kentucky RB Josh Clemons fits the bill. He supposedly is looking to transfer somewhere close to his family in Fayetteville, GA and he looks like he's got the skills we need, just an unlucky streak with injuries. If he is indeed transferring here, and can learn the system and not get hurt, then I think he'd be a good addition. I'd certainly feel more comfortable with him than with what we've currently got. Anyone know more about Clemons?

I've heard that B-back is pretty risky and that you should wrap that up.

“I think there's some belief that ACC would play three divisions, have two highest ranked play in postseason,” said Bob Bowlsby, chairman of the new NCAA Football Oversight Committee. “Really, nobody cares how you determine your champion. It should be a conference-level decision.

Well Bob I'd say there's some pretty strong evidence that the playoff committee cares how you determine a champion.

"Black Knights" could in theory be adopted to any school that happened to wear black while "Cadets" is a distinctly Army thing and has a long history with the program so this seems fine to me and also Army Football is complete butts so who really cares.


This seems like a way more satisfying and enjoyable experience than rooting for Illinois in anything anyway so I'd just embrace it.

Like unless you are in fact Kurt Kittner there is no way you were really THAT invested in Illinois football, come on. I've been to that stadium. Y'all don't care at all. Deep down you don't really want to cheer for a team who could reasonably refer to a team coached by Ron Zook as "the good days" anyway. Roll Tide.

My first year in college was when Illinois and Kurt Kittner won the MicronPC.com bowl game and I fervently thought that each season would get better!

I guess I'll just resort to telling everyone there that Illinois produces superior NFL RBs than Bama does.

No I mostly just yelled really loud when Johnny Manziel would do his best Johnny Manziel impression, felt bummed that I wouldn't get to root for Texas among those same people on Thanksgiving, and wished that I could breathe. Because it was like 1000 degrees and A&M blatantly pads their seating capacity by allotting 10 inches of bleacher per person (at least in the student section). You're not just in contact with your neighbor, you're powerfully squeezed against them.
