One of the Greatest Spectacles in all of Sports

shall take place again this coming Saturday at 14:00. It is a game of American football, pitting our nation's two oldest service academies against each other: The Midshipmen of the Naval Academy vs. the Army Black Knights of Westpoint. it is a rivalry going back a century. If you have never watched this game, you are in for a treat. If you want to know a little bit about what America is, at its very best, I humbly submit you watch. Either way, the good guys win.

GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!

A great tradition. My father used to take me as a kid every year. First, in the old Meadowlands, then to Veteran's Stadium.

Can't say I root for either team, just live the rivalry, the pageantry and the tradition.

I couldn't agree more about this game. And they are flipping the coin that JFK would have used in 1963.

Point is, this is a game, but these people have made a commitment to put their lives on the line for their country for 4 years of military service after they graduate. Puts this game in an entirely different perspective.

This game has been a tradition and staple of College Sports forever and as was stated...we win regardless of which team ends up winning the game. And Yes, Thank You to all the Women and Men who serve our Great Nation and allow us the Freedoms we have learned to Love!!!
