GO ARMY!  BEAT NAVY!

Now having said that.  I've been chipping in on this and it's predecessor threads for years as I'm 6th Gen Army (dad is one of the few folks you'll meet that was shot with a Ma Deuce and lived, Grandad landed on Normandy with the 4th ID, and on and on....) so I can genuinely say with pride this year, I'll be more than happy when I hear my boy cheer for the enemy this year.

This was from his Graduation on Halloween.

Yeah well, beating UTSA and moving to 10-1 matters a little bit right? 

On to the AAC Title game against Tulane.

The mighty Black Knights led by Captain America put an absolute beat down on Tulane.  Weird shit tends to happen in the Army Navy game, but on paper Army should roll.  My son says they have to get decked out in their heavy ass wool uniforms and load up on a bus at about 4:00AM on Saturday for the five hour trip down to D.C.  He's fired up.  I'm fired up.  Let's all get fired up.

Go Army beat Navy!!!

Awesome experience for your son. Even if he only serves the required period, West Point on the resume speaks for itself. Best of luck towards his future and service.

Hook’em!!!

Navy singing first is more beautiful.

 

But yeah, the post/ campus is incredible.  Nugget, if you don't attend one of the other 3 Army-Navy games while Junior is a Cadet, you're cheating yourself.

Getting a ticket ain’t exactly easy.  They had a lottery for parents that I entered. Nose bleed seats were about $200, but I didn’t get drawn anyway.  Your lottery entry is tied to your kid’s graduating class year so maybe parents of Firsties (seniors) have a better chance than Plebe (freshmen) parents.

I don't mind the opponent, and the payout is almost double any other bowl that has the AAC affiliation.  Shreveport however, is a fucking dump.  I see cold, dreary, freezing rain type days in the future, which actually wouldn't be the worst thing for the Army offense.

  I am LOLing on chats with Army fans on how to get there and arrange travel/ best options.  There ARE no better options...

It's a fun game, but I don't get how people who did not attend either of these academies develop a rooting interest for one side over the other.  I did 20+ in the canoe club, and I don't care which side wins.    

Depends on the season.

This year Army is a great story so I will be rooting for them to win.

Best part of Army’s “Captain America” QB is that he’s a Texan! Reminds me of the nightmares created by Taysom Hill (BYU) running roughshod over us for two years in a row.

Hook’em!!!

I remember that, and the episode where Fred Flinstone goes back to school.

Username/Avatar vs posts suggest you were dropped on your head as a child 

In other words, a perfect candidate for the Army.

Go Navy, beat Army!

I am neither Army nor Navy, but Junior attended USMA. I am a former Marine, enlisted. My younger son was Navy enlisted.  The layers are there, but from an enlisted perspective, it really don’t make a shit.  The rivalry is much fun though. 
 

My user name was a response to a poster who was constantly up my ass.

False. 
It is absolutely about the academies. I have not a goddamn thing to do with Annapolis.  What you’re saying is that anybody that lives in the state of Texas is beholden to the longhorns. And we know that’s not fucking true

This is the strangest argument I've ever heard.  I'm former Navy enlisted and all the other former Navy enlisted, and currently Navy enlisted I know root for Navy 

But you do you

I did too at that time. 
Evidently the schools involved don’t trip a switch on people being able to differentiate between the two experiences: enlisted Marine vs Father of a Cadet. 
Why would I be loyal to some school that my fucking boss went to? Who fucking cares? Even the Marine Ops are not fucking Marines until they are commissioned. So again, tell me why I should give a fuck about Annapolis beyond what any citizen would feel.

Army (enlisted) 88-95. The boss above mine is a former Naval Aviator and Naval Academy undergrad. He’s roughly 10-12 years younger than me, so our time in service didn’t overlap.

It’s been a fun season talking football with him, as both teams were undefeated prior to Notre Dame, with hopes that the possibility of playing this game in back to back weeks, through mid-season.

Lots of “Go Army, beat Navy” and the reverse were exchanged throughout the season, especially this week. Like I’ve stated earlier that we’re all brothers in arms for 364 days, except those precious 60 minutes on the big day!

GO ARMY, beat navy!

Hook’em!!!

My grandfather was a career Army officer that commissioned through Officer Candidate School (OCS). My Dad graduated from Texas and commissioned as an Army officer through OCS. I slept on a Longhorn Country rug in Kindergarten and grew up rooting for Texas and ‘playing Army’ in my backyard. I commissioned via West Point and spent a year in Iraq and threw up the Horns in photos with my platoon before going out on patrols. On the night of the ‘05 National Championship I watched from a Forward Operating Base called Anaconda. I’ve been through the dark ages of Army football and am loving what Saint Monken has done for the program. I am hopeful to sing second today but know it will be highly contested and as former Army coach Bob Sutton said ‘in this game the more desperate team wins.’ Hook’em and Go Army Beat Navy!
