Nov. 26, 2007 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Air Force Falcons have accepted a bid to represent the Mountain West Conference and play in the fifth annual Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. "We are thrilled to have the Air Force Academy as the Mountain West Conference's representative in the 2007 game," said Tom Starr, the Executive Director of the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. "With our military theme, what better way is there to honor the armed forces by having an Academy play in our game. With nine wins and a strong finish to their season, the Falcons will bring an exciting brand of football to Amon G. Carter Stadium on New Year's Eve." The Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, an ESPN Regional Television (ERT) owned-and-operated event, will be aired at 11:30 a.m. (CST) on ESPN, live from Amon G. Carter Stadium. The previous four Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl games have been played on December 23 with the University of Utah defeating the University of Tulsa 25-13 last year. With three-straight wins and six victories in their last seven games to end the 2007 season, the Falcons are the first school since the inaugural Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl game in 2003 to enter the Amon G. Carter Stadium game with more than seven regular-season wins as Air Force is currently 9-3 this fall after posting a 55-23 win at home November 18 over San Diego State. |
