We've been going to the home games at West Point for 7 or 8 years now. The first year that we went Army won every game.
However, their coach only used a running game and all their competitors had to do was look at the tapes of last year. They immediately started losing consistantly. There is an awful lot of pressure on the athletic department to come up with a winning team.
Since we started going they are on their 3rd coach and still struggling (they won the last 2).
What they did to this guy is definitely wrong.
Also, don't go into infantry problems when there is a whole other side of the army called SUPPLY where they rarely have to run at all.
Finally, some people are built differently and cannot run that fast - no matter what. I happen to be one of those - I can skate fast but I can't run for beans.

This is exactly what was in my head.
