Should be a good game. Cold weather football by 2 fairly good teams.
Go Navy!!! Beat Army!!
Go Army! Beat the Hell out of Navy!!!
This is the year we sing second.
I have to tell ya' Go Army Beat Navy does ring better.
But…….
No but.
Just watch.
Classmate is Supe and he informs that we will sing second.
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?
David
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.
Doc
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.
Thanks bud! Looking forward to a great game.
And the cold will make it all that much better!!
Go Army! Go Navy!!
God bless the U.S Army! Go Army!
Looking forward to it. My wife has been to that game 4 times in Philly.
As we Naval Academy grads say, this picture NEVER gets old...
As a nod to a certain MAC team, I'll be rooting for Army.
Great tradition, Air Force is better than both

Does the Coast Guard have a traditional favorite in this game?
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.
God bless the U.S Army! Go Army!
This ^^^^

Always a big day in this house.
I watch the game with my father...and he's been gone 4 years now!
GO NAVY!

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!

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.
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!

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.
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!
Division of F-35's just went over the house.

Now that's very very cool big Al!! I bet you could hear 'em all the way from the stadium!!
Going to miss Verne Lundquist. Can't say that about many - if any - others.

Did they declare a single engine emergency ?
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 averted my gaze so I couldn't be called as a witness to the mishap.
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.
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.)
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!
Yup SDS vs NDS was a good game.
As is Wofford-YSU. That one's in OT! Go Terriers!!

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…...
Dynasty! LOL
I'm good with either winning. I just hate to see the season wind down.
Come on Army. Keep the drive alive.
Outstanding TD drive by Army!!!
Time for that Army defense to be strong!
Fun game. Congratulations Army!
Great game. Glad to see them win.
Congrats Army!
Go Army!
Go Navy!
Go USA!!!
Going to miss Verne Lundquist. Can't say that about many - if any - others.
Agreed. He's the best and will be missed.
Congrats Army!
Go Army!
Go Navy!
Go USA!!!
THIS!
What a magnificent post game scene!
Again, Go USA!
Going to miss Verne Lundquist. Can't say that about many - if any - others.
Pure class act! Gets no better!
I don't watch much football, but this one was well worth it. Those young men are the United States of America.
Great game, indeed. Army deserved this one. And what a fittingly momentous way for Lundquist to go out.
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.
Great game! It was good one for Vern to go out on.
Ain't no losers....in this game!!
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.

I figured but you're right. I don't. I can only assume.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Go Army! congratulations!
Fugk the Army.
Kudos to Trump.

Dave/deflave,
Have enjoyed your humor for years.
Do not be disrespectful to those who serve; too many buds have paid too much for that kind of comment.
RLTW
Good win for Army, congrats.
Now time for Navy to start another 14 year streak.

I like to think even Army folk die with thick skin.
Dave
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.
Just saying!
