    Air Force head football coach Troy Calhoun and six others returned this week from the second annual coaches tour to the Middle East, sponsored by Under Armour. Calhoun was joined on the tour by Mack Brown of Texas, Jim Tressel of Ohio State, UCLA's Rick Neuheisel, Wake Forest's Jim Grobe and Houston Nutt of Mississippi, along with former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville. The coaches met American military personnel in Germany, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Djibouti and Spain. The tour departed McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kan., home of the 22nd Aerial Refueling Wing, on May 28 and returned to on June 4 to the east coast. The trip is coordinated through Armed Forces Entertainment, a Department of Defense agency, and Morale Entertainment.

    Some of the trip highlights include: personal interaction between coaches and an estimated 15,000-20,000 US service members; flag football games with troops coached by FBS coaches; college football symposium between troops and coaches; coaching/player combine.
