When Rivalries Return...
Monday, November 29, 2004
While I have been accused of even-handedness when posting about the different branches of the military, there comes a time when the rivalry returns, when I have to take a shot at the Navy...and that time will be at the kickoff of the Army-Navy Game this Saturday.
I'm a mustang and didn't go to West Point, but I remember a few years that I was overseas where everyone - Enlisted or Officer gathered round to watch the game. I've been to a few of the games in Philly, too.
Now, there is no doubt that the Army team is on the way back from the worst record in College Football history. But if they defeat Navy?
Well, then, Sailors will be crying the world over, crushed and defeated by one of the worst teams in football. And that, my friends, is a worthy endevour.
[Hey, Smash, notice how it's not called the Navy-Army Game?]
