VMI plays Army in football this week. As a VMI football fan - I don't really expect to win although it went to the wire last year but fundamentally it's a 1AA team with a Freshman Quarterback and a small line vs 1A team on the rebuild. But Army coach Rich Ellerson in his weekly pregame interview has a quote that I believe summarizes the attributes of VMI -or any of the Senior Military Colleges -in sports and every other endeavor-
Go Keydets- Beat Army (and then GoArmy- Beat AF & Navy!! Coach Ellerson has definitely got Army on the turnaround from what I can see. )

"We talk about a team that plays especially hard. I would argue that snap to whistle they are as hard a playing football team, if not the hardest playing football team we've seen this year. I think that's part of their institutional culture. We understand they, like ourselves, have chosen a steeper, more demanding, more disciplined path. We respect that"
