Air force lost to a DIII team tonight

That's right, DIII. do they even have scholarships at that level? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think junior college is a higher level than that in terms of talent.

Most if not all of Air Force's non-football team sports are poor and for the most part their football has been average at best the past few years. Sometimes I wonder why they were brought to the mwc when it started up.

Air Force football records the past 4 years, including bowl games:
2007- 9-4
2008 -8-5
2009 - 8-5
2010 - 7-4 (thus far)

If the Aggies went 8-5 in just one, let alone multiple seasons, you wouldn't say they were "average at best."
Don't hate on the Falcons because their other sports teams may not be as good. Especially considering the mission of the Air Force Academy.

I've had friends who didn't start for their high school teams who were able to start at DIII schools.

Air Force has always been a weird basketball school. A few years back they won the MWC and became the only MWC #1 seed to be upset by #9 seed in the 1st round of their conference tournament.
