What do you enjoy the most about the Army/ Navy game?

Personally, I love to watch the cadets marching into the stadium, its always a highlight for me.

On a more personal note, I have to pull for Army because my dad was in the Army and served in Korea.

I have always enjoyed watching this game. I was always an Army fan too. I too like the marching into the stadium, how the president would sit on one side and then go to the other side.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I enjoy the traditions of the game and really all that comes with it, but I also enjoy the style of play. It's fun to watch, and brings back memories of yesteryear football by when I was a kid and more teams ran offenses like that... especially high schools. A lot of fun to watch a well oiled flexbone and triple option style machine at work...

I like the pageantry of it. Love watching the bands come in. Love seeing the uniforms the teams choose. Love it all.

I go for Navy because my son is a Coastie.

My dad was in the Army in Korea also - 1952.
Way more of a man than I’ll ever be.

Man, their unforms this year look sweet.

I found out collecting their game worn helmets from these new uniforms they are creating is a massive deal, and big money to collectors.

Never really cared for hyped game...why isnt Air Force game as hyped....

 

[Hardkore]

I have always wanted to watch the game but never could for some reason.

I would be rooting for Navy. Both my dad and uncle(his brother) served during Korea. My grandfather was Navy during WW2. I never did serve (partly due to my hearing being what it is, I doubt commanding officers would take kindly to having to repeat themselves). Yet in high school I was in the NJROTC all 4 years.

My Dad was in Korea too. In the Navy. So I have to say Go Navy, Beat Army!

How long has Air Force played football? Compare that to Army and Navy.

 

[OldPlayer]

The pomp, pageantry and traditions of Army-Navy are beyond comparison. There is mor than what you see during any broadcast.

I’m all Army. My dad graduated USMA in 1949 after serving as an ensign in the Navy escorting convoys in the North Atlantic during WWII (see the movie Greyhound). He had stations in Germany (Bamburg, Pirmasens, Heidelberg), Ft. Leavenworth, Pentagon, El Paso (2x), Indiana, Korea, Viet Nam, Boston, Ft. Sill.

GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!

Yes, those are season long passing statistics. You might say both are running teams.

Go Navy! USN Veteran, 1967-71.

ROLL TIDE!

 

[rick4bama]

My Nephew and his Son will be on different side! Nephew retire from the Navy, his son ROTC at UCF and became a Second Lieutenant. Have a photo of father saluting his son.

 

[PurlJam]

I'm probably more of an Army lean. My dad and 2 of my uncles where in the Army, if not for getting a job at Alabama Power coming out of high school, I was headed to the Air Force.

Gameday will not be at the game tomorrow. Matter of fact, there is not even an ESPN College Gameday tomorrow at all. It is not on my schedule, just Sportscenter.

That's a crock in my opinion. They probably are not attending because both teams have poor records.
