ATHENS, Ga. – The Black Knight Blog, a daily, in-depth web log that has been providing fans with more in-depth coverage on Army sports than ever before, has been recognized as the best of its kind by Eye on Sports Media. The sports media news outlet named the Black Knight Blog as the 2008 Eye on Sports Media "Bloodshot Eyeball" Award winner for Best Sports information Department Blog.

Under the direction of Senior Associate Athletic Director Bob Beretta, the Office of Athletic Communications introduced the Black Knight Blog on July 22, 2008 as another avenue for Army fans to stay in tune with events happening at West Point.
Eye On Sports Media noted in their release that, “Berretta and his staff have taken the time to produce a product fully incorporated into their on-line branding.”
The Black Knight Blog’s intent is to provide fans with entertaining, pertinent nuggets of information that may not warrant a formal press release. Entries have touched on a variety of topics including:
- Additional, "behind-the-scenes" details surrounding the recent hiring of Rich Ellerson as Army’s 36th head football coach. (click here)
- Visits from notable alumni such as astronaut and former Army baseball player Shane Kimbrough. (click here)
- Accounts from Army’s storied history such as legendary basketball coach Bobby Knight’s time in command of Army’s basketball program. (click here)
- Stories from the road as Army teams challenge foes across the country, such as the Army women’s basketball team’s Thanksgiving dinner in Colorado. (click here)
The Office of Athletic Communications looks forward to continuing to provide Army fans with the best in-depth coverage in college sports.
