Just due to the fact that we have heard some very PC comments regarding the Tank Army (as well as our Sink Navy) t-shirts, I thought I would post the reply form a current West Point plebe who I sent a Tank Army T-shirt to this last week. She was going to come to the game, but you can see from her email that she is staying at West Point to work on some academics. Note that every cadet she has shown it to "loved it". That is exactly what I expected.

I imagine that when we see her at Thanksgiving that she will return the shirt to me with some holes in it from target practice by a few of her fellow cadets. Ha! Just thought some might like to see the note I received. You just got to love all the Cadets and Midshipmen from all our service academies. They work hard at sports, the regimental side of the academy, other extracurricular activities and their academics. This isn't any college program for the weak of heart. Great young men and women all, and still they maintain a great sense of humor. Amazing, isn't it?

Mr. Miller,

I did receive the package yesterday and it made me laugh. I

loved it. Thank you so much for sending that to me. It's a piece of

home at the same time, its rivalry and I love how conflicting it is!

Truly, it's awesome. It shows the diversity of my life I think and I

really love it! :) Everyone laughed when I showed it to them and

thought it was great! I regret to inform you though that I will not be

home this weekend for the game. The Dean is giving me a hard time and I

am working hard to beat him (in an academic frame of course). I hope

you enjoy the game. I will still be home for Thanksgiving if you would

like to get together then. I look forward to hearing from you!

Very Respectfully,

Cadet Fourth Class McGuire

E1-GO VIKINGS!

I ran my 5K this weekend in it, had fancy pictures taken in it and everything... Everyone that sees it and takes the time to read it loves it and immediately inquires about it...

Bravo Kram, and I may have to buy another as I wear it about 4-5 times a week right now...

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
