That's pretty cool. Don't get SI but I'll have to pick one up when that story comes out.

Should make for an exciting atmosphere tonight with the parachute team, Sports Illustrated, their first game on the new turf, and the blackout. I just hope the team stays focused on the job at hand.

Wow, what a night!

Wow, what a night!

 

Yes, I'm really looking forward to it. Unfortunately over 2/3 of Fort Campbell is deployed so many of the parents will not be there. However, thanks to WHVO - Brent Dougherty and crew they will be able to listen overseas. Plus, they get a fair amount of coverage from WKDZ as well.

Blackout? Games not shown on TV within 100 miles? What's the matter can't you sellout?

 

Pretty neat that SI is involved. Hopefully copies get to all the parents who can't get to games.

Me too, I believe they will come out flying tonight.

Fort Campbell is one of those teams I always like to see do well. Can't wait to check out the article.

I couldn't agree more!

Funny that we both bolded the same part........

 

Later.

Wow--that is awesome! I can't wait to read the article.

Andy Staples is doing the article. I met with him last night at the Freshman game. Nice guy. I can't wait to read it either.

That's insane... Major props to the players (and their families) for all they deal with and then manage to thrive all the more in the meantime!
