West Point Class of 72

It looks like Air Force and Army are going to keep with their alternate stadium theme going beyond the Commanders Classic series. In 2021 and 2022, Army and Air Force play in Arlington for a special series dubbed the Commanders Classic. Instead of returning the rivalry back to campus, which in 2023 was slated to be Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, they will engage in battle at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.

It’s been nearly 90 years since LSU and Army played each other in football, but that drought will come to an end soon.
On Tuesday, the Tigers announced that they have scheduled a 2023 matchup against the Black Knights at Tiger Stadium. Army beat LSU, 20-0, in 1931, in West Point, New York, the only previous time that the Tigers have faced a United States Military Academy.
“Hosting Army at Tiger Stadium is an honor for us in any sport,” LSU director of athletics Joe Alleva said in a press release. “We have the utmost respect for those cadets and their commitment to our nation’s freedom. Playing the Black Knights in Death Valley will be an unbelievable event for our fans and our players.”
John Bel Edwards, the governor of Louisiana, is an Army graduate, earning his degree from the United States Military Academy in West Point in 1988.
“I am looking forward to welcoming my fellow Black Knights down to Baton Rouge in 2023,” Edwards said in a press release. “Both schools have helped shape who I am today, and it will be exciting to see them face off in Tiger Stadium. As for who I’ll be rooting for, I can guarantee you I’ll be supporting the winning team regardless of the outcome.”
Over the next decade, LSU will host several top FBS programs during its non-conference schedules, including Clemson, Texas, UCLA, Oklahoma, Arizona State and now Army.
