Army football schedule set; season begins at West Point under Friday night lights

By Kevin Lilley on March 28, 2013 Army, Football

While West Point sports fans are dialed-in on baseball for the next few days (Yankees! Navy! Easter egg hunt on Twitter, somehow!), the school released its home football slate Thursday, with one slight wrinkle. All the games at Michie Stadium will begin at noon except one — the opener against Morgan State, which will be at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30. Army’s only played once in August before, according to the schedule release — the 2008 season opener against Temple, which ended poorly for the Black Knights. Opening against a Football Championship Subdivision foe such as Morgan State might…

Big East update: Temple could go west, Navy's future rivals remain unclear

By Kevin Lilley on April 10, 2012 Air Force, Football, Navy

What’s clear: Navy football will join the Big East come 2015. What’s unclear: Everything else. From the size of the conference (13 teams in 2015, as planned, or an even number to avoid a scheduling nightmare?) to the fate of future TV deals to the structure of college football’s postseason, nothing is certain. But there’s at least a hint at one of the big mysteries — how the league will set up its two divisions. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports today that in 2013, with 12 teams likely participating, the conference will divide into East and West divisions, with geography the…

Report: Temple could return to ever-growing Big East, join before Navy

By Kevin Lilley on February 22, 2012 Football, Navy

The Navy’s commitment to join the Big East as a football-only member in 2015 was one in a series of rapid-fire realignment moves by the conference, which recently parted ways with West Virginia and will lose Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the Atlantic Coast Conference in the next year or two (probably not two). Farewell, Mountaineers, Panthers and Orange. Hello, Boise State, Central Florida, Houston, Memphis, Southern Methodist and, straining the dictionary definition of “East” to the breaking point, San Diego State. And now, according to a New York Times report, Temple. The Owls’ last stay in the Big East ended…

Tiny running back ruins Army's homecoming

By on October 3, 2010 Army, Football

Army fell victim to a 5-foot-5 running back and allowed 21 fourth-quarter points in a devastating 42-35 homecoming loss to Temple on Saturday. The Black Knights fall to 3-2 on the season after watching the Owls storm back from a 28-13 deficit. “Make no mistake; that’s the biggest win since I’ve been here,” 5th-year Temple coach Al Golden told the Philly Inquirer. “In that kind of environment, to stay together. To be down 15, and then reel off 28 straight? That’s a big win, and I give a lot of credit to our coaches.” Temple’s miniature running back Matt Brown,…
