*"It’s August & It’s Hot: Must Be Time For ARMY Football…!" 4•Aug.•10

A quick look at my take on ARMY Football practice today at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY. 90+ degrees with extreme humidity. Only got to spend about an hour in the Foley Athletic Center and outside in the sun on the practice field. The artificial turf was so hot, my feet were actually beginning to burn. The Black Knights of ARMY open their season on Sept. 4th. at Eastern Michigan. They also face Rutgers at the new Meadowlands Stadium on Oct. 16th., Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 20th., and the Annual ARMY v. NAVY Game in Philadelphia on Dec. 11th. ~cg.
