Should be a good game. Cold weather football by 2 fairly good teams.
Go Navy!!! Beat Army!! ------------ Always a big day in this house. I watch the game with my father...and he's been gone 4 years now! GO NAVY!

Go Navy...
Will be very cold in Baltimore tomorrow with winds blowing off the Chesapeake.
Doc Just back from a hike along the Patapsco River - 24 degrees and a bit of ice in it and the wind is picking up. Should be good football weather (from my sofa!) Go Navy!

Looking forward to it. My wife has been to that game 4 times in Philly. Does the Coast Guard have a traditional favorite in this game? Absolutely, we like anyone that doesn't like Navy.

The American people are the real winners of this game, regardless of which team scores the most points.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

One thing's for sure, none of the players will be taking a knee during the national anthem.

I always get something in my eye at the end of the game when the teams sing their alma maters, first the loser then the winner, and each team gathers and stands for both out of respect. One of the classier spectacles in all of sports.
The $EC sure could take a lesson.

I'm a Johnie-come-lately Air Force guy, but in this game I always root for Navy.

Fox is doing a full on broadcast from the stadium in light of Trump's anticipated arrival.
Thinking he will never not have a camera on him.
Getting more and more excited about this game. I even believe Army has a pretty good chance of breaking Navy's 14 game winning streak.
Go Navy! Go Army!

Navy's 14 game winning streak. Repeated for emphasis (and spelling correction). Oh yeah!

Army stands a chance this year. Both Army and Navy have prolific ground games. Navy can pass when they need to. Army struggles with passing. Army has a very respectable defense this year. They have split games with common opponents. Go Army.

So to the best of my knowledge only the Army/Navy Game and NASCAR open their events with prayer! On a National basis anyway.
Good for them!
Great job with the Anthem. Here we go!!

A bit of back story on the picture. The West Point cadets have stolen Navy's mascot seven times. In 1972, a few stealthy cadets from West Point midnight-requisitioned Navy's mascot, "Billy", and moved him to a location outside of West Point. I took this picture in the West Point mess hall at the "football rally" a few day's before the football game at JFK stadium in Philly... Army won the game 23-15. BEAT NAVY!

Honored indeed.
The only football game ( have to include Army/Air Force as little bro played for the Zoomies all four years) in which every man playing is willing to die for every American watching.
Well said. Go Navy!
