The Air Force football team had the worst year in the Academy's history finishing 2-10 (one of those being a win over D-1 AA 4-8 Colgate team and the other over a 3-8 Army squad). And when you shoot a team getting blown out every other week you get kind of bored and look for something different, like these shots though the parabolic microphones that block my view from the sidelines:

The green is relaxing.
Thank you to CBS Sports Network for the chill effect |

ESPN U had the amber going and it would kind of
angry up the blood, but did offer up a decent effect. |

Even if nothing good is going on in the pic
it still looks pretty cool. |
The team never quit. They played hard, but were just over matched and/or out coached in those 10 losses. I've been shooting Air Force for the last 3 years and I've just had the feeling that they don't know how to win (or know what to do with a lead). In games where they were the better team, were dominating early (like Michigan & Navy in 2012 and Nevada & San Diego State this year), something just didn't click and the team just fell apart and lost the game. This year you can blame the young age of the team, but last year? Not so much. Hopefully 2014 will bring better luck to the Falcons.
