Black Night for the Black Knights: Army's Poor Debut Reveals Key to Success

This team and those who support it feel that the Black Knights have to be perfect to win.

It’s like a mistake is a death sentence to the Black Knights, a condemnation of the team’s imperfection—a glaring statement of the Black Knights' “lack of athleticism, size and speed.”  Army football hasn’t had a winning season in 11 years because they don’t believe they can overcome. 

Well, guess what, Black Knights.  You aren’t perfect!  But football, like war, is about overcoming adversity.

If Army is going to ever achieve a winning season, they’ve got to have enough confidence to know that they are going to make mistakes and can win in spite of them.  Players, coaches, and fans need to believe not just in what the Black Knights stand for and represent—we must believe in what they can do. 

We’ll get that chance tomorrow when Army hosts the University of New Hampshire.  When the Black Knights make that inevitable mistake, let’s replace “Here we go again” with “Here we go, Army.  Here we go!”

Go Army!  Beat New Hampshire!
