Saturday at 3PM from Ravens stadium in Baltimore. Just figured I'd get a head start on what should be a great and honored tradition!!

The new POTUS will be there. Something the OLD POTUS never did right?

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.

I believe it's way cool that Trump is going.

Go Navy...

Will be very cold in Baltimore tomorrow with winds blowing off the Chesapeake.

byc,

Household 6 just looked it up: Trump will be first CIC elect to ever attend a game.

The current embarrassment only attended in 2011 in a sad endeavor to help his poll numbers for '12.
Posted By: byc Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/09/16
Thanks bud! Looking forward to a great game.

And the cold will make it all that much better!!

Go Army! Go Navy!!

Does the Coast Guard have a traditional favorite in this game?
Posted By: CCCC Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/09/16
As a kid, this game always was a big time. The cadets and middies would arrive in Philadelphia on trains, form up and march to their hotels. I think I saw them march to the game/stadium as well. For two or three years, Army had Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside - Blanchard and Davis - and Tucker as quarterback - I think they ran a single wing. That bunch was hard to beat.

When in HS, I sold concessions at the game and there were the troops in their long overcoats and hats, doing lots of organized cheering. Most years it was unusually cold - I sold hot chocolate in cans and folks would buy a few cans, tell me not to open them, and put them in their pockets as warmers.

Good times, long gone.

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!) grin

Absolutely, we like anyone that doesn't like Navy.
Posted By: OSU_Sig Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
The American people are the real winners of this game, regardless of which team scores the most points.

Posted By: OutlawPatriot Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
One thing's for sure, none of the players will be taking a knee during the national anthem.
Posted By: RJY66 Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
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.
Posted By: RockyRaab Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
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!

This!

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.
Posted By: byc Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
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!!
Posted By: KeithNyst Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
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!

Both sides sure loved it when Trump made his appearance. Glad to see our future Service Men and Women are fans!!

Care for veterans is one promise I truly believe Trump will keep 100% with NO deviation from the campaign stump.

I sure wish Navy wasn't playing with their 3rd string quarterback right now. Not trying to bash the kid but it's his first start of the season and the normal guy literally has half the rushing yards of the season.

No kidding. I had no idea that they were that beaten up.
Posted By: 5sdad Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
Very interesting game to watch (as was N.Dakota State - South Dakota State) - football doesn't have to involve the anointed teams to be fun and entertaining. (The only thing that I have against the Army-Navy broadcast is that between each and every play, we have to watch that damned commercial for the coffee Ninja with the woman who can't speak English.)
Posted By: byc Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
Donald Trump is a very smart man. For him to attend this game and even show up in the booth with Verne and company.

I'm impressed with his moves. Well calculated.

Okay back to the game. Go Army! Go Navy!
Posted By: 280shooter Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16

They have five or six starters out, including the QB and RB

Dang Army is trying to give this one away……not good.

Actually, both are trying their best to give this one away…...

I'm good with either winning. I just hate to see the season wind down.

I don't watch much football, but this one was well worth it. Those young men are the United States of America.
Posted By: RockyRaab Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
Great game, indeed. Army deserved this one. And what a fittingly momentous way for Lundquist to go out.
Posted By: 5sdad Re: Army/Navy Game!! - 12/10/16
That is what a football game is supposed to be: an entity standing all alone, no concern over other games played this season, no bowl positioning, no concern over artificial gods such as NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.

That's for sure. Feeling pretty proud about Army's win.

Plus it's good for our brave ground Army troops in all these weirdo/whacko countries.

So, it's been a great year end for 2016...

The Beast lost, Trump won and now Army is victorious.

You have no idea how much this means to some guys in Konar, Khost and especially Shkin.

Yep, we do.

But like Gen. Patton said, the trick is to make the other poor dumb bastard die for his side, or currently and more accurately, his very fu Cked up religion.

Now, back to Army's win over Navy...

Heard an interisting stat today. The last time Army beat Navy the US went to a major war.
