This was probably a game worth the 100 or how much it was going for on Stubhub. Should have been there. Oh well. Good game.

 

I wasat the game in 2000 in Bmore... that place is a wind tunnel.  Would've been miserable.

But I will say 100 bucks is a steal

I Was at gameday and it was overwhelmingly Navy biased but Army did have a strong showing. And that shwoing is out on the field right now. 

 

I mean Annapolis is like 20 miles away lol

And as we always say (even in victory) this game means a lot more to them.

I had season tix for Skins when they played at FedEx. I got to buy seats in club (cadets had my EZ seats).  It was a bucket lister for sure. We fumbled that game away.

Little brother syndrome.

Punting the ball with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter and only one timeout seemed questionable at the time but clearly a mistake by Niumatalolo in hindsight. 

 

You really think they were getting that first down?

Play the odds.  That was the only scoring drive of the half the series prior.

Yeah I had tix that year, too (Skins, not Army-Navy, I wanted to take my Grandpa to the game but he had just had hip surgery and thought it would be too cold.  He graduated from the Naval Academy in '52)..

 

I remember I had something to do that weekend cause I gave the Pats tix for the next day to one of my friends from work who is from Boston.

 

I think that was 2011.

 

I'd go again for sure.  Not many other places you just see military royalty lounging around with Joe like that.

I can say when my grandmother passed away a few years back, I went to the Naval Academy with one of the Admirals I'd worked for previously and the dudes in the archives in Annapolis burned me a DVD of the 1948 Army-Navy game, which was where my grandparents met.  I will be eternally grateful for that.  I remember I couldn't wait to give that DVD to my grandpa after it was burnt.  I drove straight to his house on my way home from work and we sat and watched it twice the whole way through.
