<p>Air Force senior cornerback Reggie Rembert wondered aloud this week about the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy.</p>
<p>How heavy is it? Is it presented to the winning team at the White House or before the trip to Washington? What does it look like in person?</p>
<p>Ive never seen it, Rembert said. Ive just seen the picture.</p>
<p>Rembert will have his answers soon, and Barack Obama awaits the Falcons arrival. Air Force took back the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy for the first time since 2002 with a 42-22 win at Army at Michie Stadium on Saturday.</p>
<p>For the record, the trophy is 170 pounds and will arrive at Air Force sometime this week. Robbin Schellhous, the Falcons equipment truck driver, is driving the semi from West Point to Annapolis to pick up the trophy at 9 a.m. before heading back to the Springs.</p>
<p>Senior defensive end Rick Ricketts said winning the trophy is the highlight of his career. Like Rembert, he had no idea what to expect when the Falcons go to the White House.</p>
<p>I dont know what its like, Ricketts said. I never had seniors to tell me any stories.</p>
<p>Indeed, the drought was long for the Falcons.</p>
<p>At 6-4, the Falcons are now bowl eligible. Athletics director Hans Mueh admitted that the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 27 looks like the obvious scenario.</p>
<p>We would be honored and love to go to Shreveport, Mueh said. And they are ready to welcome us with open arms. But theres no such thing as a bad bowl game so I dont really care. Well see how that plays out.</p>
<p>Before that, the Falcons will appreciate sweeping their service academy rivals.</p>
<p>Its good to come up here, and for our kids especially, to create a memory, Falcons coach Troy Calhoun said. Thats what they did, through their work and through their dedication. Hopefully what weve done is create something these guys can carry with them for quite some time.</p>
