What the hell, it's all we've got.

GO NAVY

Highschool allstar on NBC     :popcorn2:

Take heart, Chech. Next Saturday you have Temple/Wyoming or even better, Ohio/Utah State and, we keep rolling with LA Layfayette/San Diego State.
:(

I changed it for ya. It sounds better now. RTR!

Fumble-rama!

Go Army, he who fumbles last wins less. lol, RTR!

You know Merk, as exciting (this is SARCASM, WV) as those games will be, they hold not a candle to the Dec. 31 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl between the Fighting Illini (6-6) and the Men of Westwood (6-7). Talk about thrilling. (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jpV9grFxkKI/SOIsIJI0qVI/AAAAAAAAAJM/TXNDnsd5o4A/s400/bored_kid.jpg)

Oh, how could I have forgotten about that one, cb. I am oozing with anticipation.
 :sleep: :sleep:

So far, clear sailing (except that torpedo I took from Preacher).  :-X

Andrew Luck, Trent Richardson and Tyrann Mathieu in the CBS Studio at halftime of the Army-Navy game.   :popcorn2:

Last Regular Season Game of 2011!!!

 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(


Well, really the regular season ended two weeks ago in boogerville!

Trent and the runners-up nominees were pretty funny at halftime.  Badger and Trent look like 4-eyed brothers in those glasses.  Pretty good yucking it up.  :clap:

I still can't believe MFBATR is not going to win the Heisman!!!

Two weeks ago I was sure he was going to win it. Third. Give me a break!!!

Get my hands on the Bruce Feldman's neck!!

It's ok, Coach. We know who the real winner is. A lot of bias and poor judgement in voting this year. We know the truth, though.

In 1944 they shut down a war for this game.

In person (and on TV) the pageantry is unparalled. I attended one of the ones played in the Meadowlands. The Plebes took their shirts off in maybe 10 degree weather. Battle of the Bulge and MacArthurs return going on during the 1944 game. These games mean a lot to our service men and women, along with the legions of Veterans. I am patriotically enjoying the Army Navy game. 

I saw the intro. I had goose bumps on my goose bumps. The 2 groups singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was awesome!

One of the older sports writers said last weekend that Denver with Tim Tebow running the offense looked like one of the great Army football teams of the 1940s.

HTWMI--Closest Heisman vote. AFLAC Trivia

1993 is when I saw this game in the Meadowlands. Played in Philly most followed by Pollo Grounds (Brooklyn). Played in Rose Bowl 1 time.

Even the commercials on this game are awe inspiring (Chevrolet).

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Crisp, there is a HUGE upside to this.  Remember how much of a distraction it was for MI?  Poor TR would be flying all over the country  :o if he won it, and he'd likely only join the team for the final week of preparation.  Best thing for our TEAM would be having the Golden Badger (whatever  :dunno: ) win it, and let him be flown all over in exhaustion.

This is the best Army-Navy game in a few years.  It's tied 21-21 now, and Navy is at the goal line.  Looks like it'll be a big finish too.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

The 1945 game was labeled "the game of the century" (sound familiar) with the teams ranked #1 and #2. Army defeated Navy.

The first football helmet was supposedly introduced in this game (1893). A Navy doctor told a midshipman a further kick to the head could end up in "insanity" or even death. A shoemaker was commissioned to make a helmet out of leather.

Another NC decided by this game (1926) was awarded to Navy after the game ended in a 21-21 tie. >:( LOL

Looks like Army just shot themselves in the foot again. No penalties, but lots of fumbles.

Thanks for the history. 
But I think they made the right decision in '26.   :clap:

BHO sitting among the troops. LOL

Wow, that field goal looked like it'd sail right, but GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Navy ahead by 6.  :popcorn2:

Protect the lead !!!!

Guess the Russian Navy is cheering for our Navy today too.

He and JB were at mid-field for the coin toss. Somebody missed a great oppor.......never mind  :-[ .

"My goodness?"

How far to Leavenworth, Kansas from 2's house?

Sometimes I kid BHO. HTH.

:lol:

I don't think that toothpaste will go back into the tube.

There's a bread-and-water pun with Breddy, but I'm too interested in the game now.

Meanwhile, back at the game, Army faces it's stiffest challenge since D-Day.  4th down and a bunch; 4:39 to go.

Fullback missed his block, and Army is swamped.

What?  :dunno:

I was gonna say "a great opportunity for the coin tosser to get his pic taken with the commander-in-chief and VP". Jeez, what were you thinking?

 :nah: :nah: :nah: :nah: :nah:

Flaw in your defense: The President flipped the coin.

"I rest my case, your Honor."

Oh, wait, I forgot to add :Huge eye roll:. Sorry.

I was wondering when Navy started using AK-47s?

Ball game! (if Navy doesn't fumble)

How can a boy at West Point be stupid enough to jump offsides on a 4th-down obvious fake?

Well, they should.  Two billion Chinese can't be wrong.

What are the Midshipmen chanting?  Not Rammer Jammer.

Ok, Army, 90 yds to go with 1 second left.

NAVY 27- Army 21

Big win for Navy Chief!

Crazy play; 3 defensive players on the line and 8 back 40 yards, AND ARMY THROWS A PASS.  
:dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

He popped in for just a few minutes yesterday.  I was hoping he'd be back today.  Have you noticed if he has been here?

As the losers, does this mean that the Cadets have to have their picture made with BHO?

Here we go.  :eyeroll:

Great post-game tradition. I don't remember all that from the 1993 game I attended but it was about 10 degrees. We probably started moving toward the parking lot. Anyway, congratulations to Navy!

He probably had a very good reason. We are not smart enough to know what that might have been. HTH

Probably.  I'd rather him jump and run at the wrong time now than once he's on the battlefield.  :(

I sure hope so. I would hate to think that the station just took it upon themselves to televise such a personal deal.

Yeah. Not really something his future platoon can take solace in. "Okay, let's move out!"
