The Air Force is reminding the Army Black Knights that even if they lose, it’s okay. Just “Shake it Off.” The Air Force Parachute Team, known as the Wings of Blue, put their agility to the test as they dance — and plunge — to Taylor Swift’s album hit “Shake it Off” for the Air Force vs. Army football spirit video. The teams go head-to-head Nov. 1 at West Point. Winning the last 17 of 20 games against Army, the odds could be in the Falcon’s favor.

Well, here’s one response to the Navy’s iPhone parody. Two falcon mascots (The Birds?) are featured in this 2014 Air Force v.

In this Siri iPhone parody video, the “Go Navy, beat Air Force” spirit is in full swing before the Midshipmen take on the Falcons this Saturday at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Watch Siri’s sassy behavior shut down the conversation.

If this were an episode of “E! Fashion Police,” the Air Force would have (more than likely) been on the “worst dressed” list. Flashback: Air Force played Navy over the weekend, with the Midshipmen winning 28-21 in overtime against the Falcons. But what also caused a stir were the new uniforms Air Force was sporting: Specially designed uniforms, inspired by the Air Force’s B-2 Spirit and F-22 Raptor aircraft. The name on the back of the even-numbered jerseys had “F-22 Raptor” while the odd numbered jerseys had “B-2 Spirit” in place of the names. The helmet logo represented the top…

Former Air Force Falcons standout Chad Hall put together 20 of the Philadelphia Eagles 391 yards in last night’s 17-10 win over the New York Giants.
