ARMY v. NAVY

[6518John]

Although there are only 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the game is well worth turning on even if you are not normally a football fan. It was a full-blown blizzard, but now it’s just a garden variety snow. Old school, three yards and a cloud of dust (or snow) option football. Game is going to the wire too—13 to 7 with Navy in the lead.

It’s on CBS.

It opened with an invocation, an Army/Navy choir did an emotional rendition of the anthem, a stadium full of cadets and midshipmen showed how to properly hand salute, the unis are classy with Army in artic white (darned near invisible in the snow) and Navy in a Blue Angels theme and both teams playing for the honor of their respective branches.

As Woodrow Call said: "splendid behavior!"

Thanks Rusty. We unfortunately missed the first half. This is one of my favorite games of the year. Navy may pull it out! Going to the wire.

Too bad for the penalty that moved them back for the FG try....

 

[Rustyt1953]

Two successive false start penalties. Hell of a way to lose a ball game.

I have divided loyalties. I wanted to join the Navy, but couldn't pass the physical. Color blindness. The Army couldn't care less! I like the close ones, decided in the last 3 seconds.

Best,
Rick

He.... "missed it by THAT much!" Love a good snow game though!

Another great Army-Navy game.
Went to the Legion to watch it.
Congrats on beating Navy and wining the Presidents Trophy.
And remember the Midshipmen and Cadets will be in harms way soon.
Not in the NFL, on Wall Street or a comfy high 5 figure to start career.
True American Patriots.

Three pass attempts in the entire game. Only six penalties. Every running play was straight up the gut, so nobody ran out of bounds. The clock ran virtually unstopped, except for change of possession. No turnovers. And it was snowing! Great game.

Not happy with the outcome but I thought it was a great game. Those 2 penalties at the end lost it for Navy.

I got to watch almost all of it; I had to feed critters before it was over. So I was glad to see how it turned out, but I'll have to watch a replay so I can get the drama at the end.

Yep. Had he been 10 yds closer, that young fellow would have likely made that field goal. Only saw the last few minutes, but it seemed to be a very good game.
