ARMY-AMERICAN: A STUDY IN FUTILITY

Army comes to Tenleytown tonight with an 0-9 record against American in Patriot League play. The Eagles have never lost to a military academy in league play. Here's the scores for Army over the last 4 years:

01/12/02 - Army 40, AU 58
02/06/02 - Army 59, AU 74
02/02/03 - Army 64, AU 79
02/37/03 - Army 43, AU 77
02/01/04 - Army 46, AU 60
02/26/04 - Army 48, AU 54
03/06/04 - Army 48, AU 65
01/21/05 - Army 37, AU 72
02/04/05 - Army 58, AU 86

Combined, the scores are AU 625, Army 443. That gives AU an average margin of victory of more than 20 points.

So what, you say? AU needs a win very badly right now, and should they struggle against Army tonight, it will say a lot about where they're headed. They don't need to win by 20, but if it's close, AU fans should be nervous.  @ 11:09 AM
