OK all you new cadets; as well as you seasoned cadets, alumni, family, and new applicants. It's the beginning of a New Year for "FALCON FOOTBALL"!!!
And the ONLY thing that comes close to a Falcon Football Game; especially on Parent's Weekend when you all HAVE TO BE THERE ANYWAY, is to come over and check out "THUDGATE".

In a nutshell, a "THUD" is an F-105 fighter. One of our founders of "Thudgate" is the son of an F-105 pilot and Commander of the 18th Tactical Fighter Wing; who now rests peacefully at the academy overlooking the Rockies and the great city of Colorado Springs. In remembrance, we hold "Thudgate". The absolute biggest and best Tail-gate this side of the Mississippi. We bring together "THE FAMILY". Current cadets, you're starting to understand "THE FAMILY". The vets and military family members know "The Family" that I speak of. At "Thudgate", we bring "The Family" together. Retires; Active Duty; Officers, Enlisted, Family members, Cadets, Applicants, and friends. We have a tailgate that easily surpasses 100 people. This year's Parent's Weekend "Thudgate" is expected to reach about 250-300 people in and out throughout the day. (Told you it was big).
But besides bringing "The Family" together for fun and good times, we NEVER EVER end our "Thudgate" before the game, without giving a "Toast to the Host". We toast to all those before us. We toast to those who serve our country today. And we toast our cadets and others who have committed themselves to defending and protecting our country in the days to come. Yes, most toast with Jeremiah Weed, but that isn't a requirement. The point is to toast our brave men and women of the past, present, and future.
So, please join us. If you are a parent/family member and plan on coming to Parent's Weekend, please come to the pre-game tailgate. Come to Thudgate. You new cadets; I'd be honored to meet many of you in person. (By the way Brian; no damn excuses. You better have your butt there. LOL). Anyway, everyone is invited. I will post more details this weekend. e.g. actual location (Not that you could miss us); as well as any other details.
It's falcon football time. It's parent's weekend time. It's "THUDGATE" time. Come join your family. See you there. Mike.....
