Personally, I'm excited about this sponsorship. I'm hoping a charter bus to the game will be arranged from Huntsville that I can beg/borrow/buy my way on should the right team show up in the game. Their HQ is around the corner from my office. Nice group of folks.
This is a good thing for north Louisiana. Getting Army to play in the bowl game is real nice.
I wonder if Walk-ons is gonna survive now?
