Thread: Coast Guard/USMMA game

Started 3 months, 2 weeks ago by 2012kpmam
The Coast Guard game at KP was a great contest and showed a lot of heart on the part of both teams. KP never gave up and were amazing in front of the packed stands. I would like to propose another contest - Iron Chef between CSA and KP. Maybe it would inspire KP's cooks.

I think a "Top Chef" QuickFire challenge would be to whip up a great tasty nutritious meal at Delano, using just the ingredients found on site. (they did this for an Air Force Base out in Utah or Nevada somewhere).

Are there issues (quantity/quality) with the food at USMMA? I haven't heard many complaints, nothing like what was happening at USNA (gravy on hamburger buns, cod dogs, etc) last fall.

hahahah. Luigi is such a card! Surely he's checked the old rankings about food at college universities They try really hard, but some of the main proteins are significantly ... substandard... either that, or some of the pork for porkchops was raised next to Three Mile Island, or Chernobyl. I love the staff, just wish the purchasing agent had better luck.

So.....gravy over hamburger buns and a cod dog would be an culinary upgrade? Judging from the size of some of KP's linemen, they're definitely eating something nutritious. I worry that they may not be able to meet a military weight standard upon graduation.

It has been a problem in the past and will probably continue to be in the future. There was a student last year who was borderline right up until the week before graduation.

That was, indeed, quite a match, and as Coach Toop said, it was a shame that either team had to lose. That the winning effort came on the final play of double overtime is a real testament to heart and stamina. My son's in his third year and has started on the O-line throughout, and needless to say, he was a pretty happy camper the rest of the weekend. He played at as much as 275 in high ...

Maybe what KP needs are some recipes from home. I know a lot of colleges request "Mom's recipes" and then try to duplicate them for the entire school. The kids then vote at to what they would like added to the menu on a regular basis. Maybe the chef at KP needs a little inspiration and I'm sure there are plenty of moms willing to share a family recipe. My oldest attended Colgate University and ...

Remember we are talking government contractors here folks I think they do the best with what they are given.

The food was bad 30 years ago and itonly gotten slightly better from what I've seen over the past 15 months since then... that said the price is right and the low bidder basically gets the contract...

The game was great! As a west coast family - we loved the rain! And as far as the food goes...... one word "Mandango"!
