I used to watch the Army-Navy game when I was a kid and pull for Army 'cause my dad served in the army during WWII. Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard in the backfield. Bill Carpenter, the first "Lonesome End" for Army. Lot of tradition and history associated with that game.

Yeah lots of tradition but Army hasn't won since 2001... and its been a blowout most years. Army is pretty bad this year too, hoping for a close game but not expecting it.

Go Navy!

I didn't think it was possible to be more gimmicky than the barn is, but Army is trying...Pre-snap motion is...odd. ?

Go Army!

I was at the Eagles game in the snow last week, the field looks so green today xD

 

[JoshB]

Army's safety is a MAN out there.

 

[bamaledge]

Go Navy. Dad retired Navy and brother was in.

Watching the game here in Ohio as week. I am just hoping that someone in the football office has the DVD set to learn how to slow down or stop the option. :tickled_pink: My dad served in Korea during the war so I am pulling for Army to stop the losing streak.

Navy is spanking Army, almost half.

 

[Bamabww]

Go Navy, Beat Army.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Go Navy! 34-7, 12 years in a row!

 

[JoshB]

That was a horrible game.

Global field warming to blame for shure.

Army all the way!!! My nephew retire with 23 years in the Navy. His son right now is in OCS at Fort Benning, Ga. training to become a butter bar Lt.

 

[bamaledge]

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who served in any armed force or non armed force (Coast Guard ) that has protected mine and my family's freedom and to also thank their family who sacrificed so much to let them protect us. I will never forget those who served this great nation and those who still do. Thank you!

My father was at Ft. Benning for a very short time. My Aunt lived in Columbus as long as I can remember and I still have cousins that live there. I love the state of Alabama and always will, but I also like the states of Georgia, Tenn., South Carolina and Florida. They all have tremendous beauty in their own way.

Dad and his bro were in the Navy
I was in the NavyJROTC back in high school

This is a game that isn't so good for TV viewing, but to witness in person is completely awesome. I went to one at the Vet before they blew it up and it was a great time. Pageantry abounds, obvious tradition, and you just get a different feeling inside. I can't really explain it, but it should be a game that everybody puts on their bucket list.
