1992 Spring Men Portal
Our team motto, which we sounded off prior to each game, was "no vending!". (as told by Jim Russell) - Spring 1989 regular season I went down to the Academy to referee AFA A vs somebody local. Before the first half, as usual the cadets lined up in their huddle just behind the center of the halfway line, and then ran around in a circle; but instead of the usual “Go Zoomies” I heard them yell something like, “oh ending”. I thought it odd but had a game to do so I ignored it. But then they did it again just before the second half, at which they were to kick off. So when the kicker came up to the halfway line, I asked him what this “Oh ending” chant was. To which he replied, “No, it’s ‘No Vending’. You see, Sir, we are hosting Nationals this year, and if we win all our regular and initial playoff games, we on the A side don’t have to run the concessions and sell the food during Nationals. The B side will have to do it. We don’t want to have to do the selling, so we call out, ‘No vending’ to remind ourselves why we want to win.” True story.

Memorable Events
Steven Heinlein: I remember I almost scored a try against Army but was called back because my left foot had barely stepped out-of-bounds. Losing to Army was hard, but then the next day beating Penn State in our last rugby match at the Academy before graduation and finishing our season with a win helped moderate the sting of that loss.
