Army - Navy Game
Hey guys, today is the day of the most important football game all year; the Army - Navy game comes on CBS at 2:30 Eastern time. There is nothing better to watch then the comradery and the respect that these men have for eachother and their country.
A couple of quick notes:
- There is always a fly over by the Navy and by the Army. In the Navy's fly over (4 F/A-18 Hornets from NAS Oceana) two of the pilots are graduates of the United States Military Academy (Army). They transfered from flying helo's in the Army to flying Hornets in the Navy after the Navy had a shortedge of pilots.
- If Navy wins then the seniors on the team will be the first of the service academies to not lose to another. I'm going to double check on this but I heard it on Jim Rome so I'm really confident that it's correct.
Oh and by the way... GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

It's always a great game, too, no matter what the records are. I love the flyover before the game, but I really dig the commercials from various commands all over the world.
GO NAVY!!!

There is nothing quite like watching the players line up for eachothers alma maters. It started to choke me up watching those guys, they'll be in my thoughts and prayers for years to come.
