MWC reprimands BYU player, assistant coach

If you've ever been on the receiving end of a chop block, you'd definitely side with Jorgensen. "When executed properly?" How about when not. Bye bye career

dirty?... DIRTY?! This is division 1 FCS FOOTBALL... You don't complain and whine about a legal block! For the option, the cut block is essential. It is a blue collar office and you need to have that mentality when you go up against it. If you're just going to complain (even complain when you win), then you are playing the wrong sport.

This cut block business has surfaced in connection with the other service academy teams as well. One reason is, service academy athletes are required to conform to military weight and appearance standards. You won't see any 350-pound linemen who could clean out a buffet restaurant all by themselves, on an Army, Navy or AF team. They're at a decided weight disadvantage against most college football teams and in order to counteract the disadvantage they must resort to more effective blocking techniques. A cut block has a higher potential for injury, yes, but if properly executed, gets the job done without injury.

lets see, "legal but dirty" is that like "ugly but a great body" ? Who cares

the Air Force head coach made a comment about how the Air Force Academy, who is known for honor and integrity, is coming under fire about their strategy and tactics in football games, stating that this is a good lesson for them to learn. this lesson teaches that because they are in the US military they will be faced with criticism and backlash from foreign countries and they need to learn to cope with this fact.

what the Air Force head coach did not say is that they do not resort to "legal, but dirty" tactics and they do uphold honor and integrity in the game of football, which parallels actions of the military and what the Academy stands for and teaches. further, the head coach did not change the tactics used in the game. the military sports teams should be held to a higher standard as they, in a lot of sense, represent our country. there is a dissonance between what the Air Force Academy head coach teaches and what our beloved country stands for.
