Musings from the CU Suite

Compiled by Anthony Demangone

I'm rolling north this weekend to watch the Penn State/Army game. Penn State is favored to beat Army by quite a bit. But years ago, that would not have been the case. Army football is always a reminder of how things change in life.  

I grew up in Towanda, Pennsylvania. Our high school's mascot is the "Black Knight."

Why is that? People like a winner. The school was formed back in the 1940s, when Army was a national football powerhouse. Army's mascot? Yep. You probably guessed it. The Army Black Knights. 

Now, on to the reads.
