Great question, hate to say never thought of it. Dad served WWII, brother, sister, myself inlisted Navy and brother-in-law played football for Navy. I think I need to get off my ass!!!!
Have seen one Navy-Army game. My son played Sprint FB for the Midshipmen. Great experience!
Is there ANYTHING that no one will turn into a KF slam?
It just can't be helped can it? A post about the pagentry and tradition of a service academy game, and someone has to interject some failing of KF. Never ceases to amaze!
I've watched every year for longer than I care to admit to. Always a great game. The Navy QB is one one heck of an athlete.
I've kind of had it on my list too, but never looked into tickets. Figure they might be pricey (or possibly just not all too available).
Army/Navy is special. I'm glad they have almost the entire stage when they play.
Just got back in QC from the game. Second year in a row we have gone. Anyone who ever gets a chance to go would be a fool not to go. It’s a great weekend with lots of events going on Friday and Saturday before the game.
Somehow this is what college football should be. The NCAA has built up the sport to rival the NFL, and the days of good amateur athletes playing for pride seems to have fallen by the wayside. It's all driven by money now, and that just doesn't seem right in college athletics. I know it will never revert, but at least we get to set all that aside and watch this great rivalry played by our future military leaders at the end of very season. I root for the academies any time they play anyone but my team, and even then, I feel honored to welcome them onto the same field. Good luck to all these young men.
