You have to admire the work Troy Calhoun has put into the Air Force Academy over the past 15 years. His Falcons have reached an impressive 11 bowl games under his leadership while winning the Mountain West Mountain Division twice.
Needless to say, I’m not particularly high on the Buffs going down to Colorado Springs on Saturday.
A couple of weeks ago at the Front Media Huddle, I and a few other reporters caught up with Calhoun to ask him a few questions about his team and what he thinks of CU.
Calhoun shared some very kind words about the University of Colorado and its athletics.
“There’s just so much mutual respect,” Calhoun said. “You think about our flagship university in our state being an AAU school (in a) phenomenal town. The commitment they’ve made in terms of the athletic department, especially to football, that makes you proud to live in this state for their dedication, it really does. And then you bring in the history; I think in the last 40 years, there’s only been about six, seven schools that have played for back-to-back national championships and Colorado is one of them. That’s pretty awesome… If my son or daughter went to school there, I’d be proud.”
