Need some College Football? Army vs. Navy is usually a sleeper but with 2-3 inches of show on the field and more to come is pretty funny.
I had the same thought. Some folks should allow themselves the occasional luxury of an unexpressed thought.
Navy defense is too tough
I vaguely remember the name NFL. I think it died this year?
College football = yes!
National Hockey League = yes
NFL = History
My non-syndical self would like to think he’s reading it like Patton read Rommel : To know your enemy.....
But I’ve read too much about Hudson High and it’s current leadership ( small “L”)......
RLTW
Up by one with just over five to go.....
I’m gonna have a heart attack.
Thanks for the heads up. Watching now. Good game!
You know it is real nice seeing clean cut collars and not the long dreadlocks peaking out from under the helmets.
14 - 13 Army wins! And the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy!
Way to go Army!
Congratulations to Navy for a hard-fought game.
Go Army!
Great football game by the players and pure class displayed by the coaches.
Refreshing.
true especially that piece of crap that was ‘featured’ last week or so.
Is he still in?
Ought to be in the brig under suicide watch.
That was a great game.
I read Malcolm X’s biography YEARS ago-———what’s the big deal?
It’s a book,just a book.

I agree. A network needs to break away from the herd and approach NCAA about broadcasting college game on Sunday.
So the army flag was backward?
It was proper. If it was on the players left shoulder it would look ‘normal’. When it is on the players right shoulder it would look ‘backward’ but that is correct. It is ‘backward’ so that the blue part faces the direction you are walking. This is true on regular soldier uniforms as well.
Think of it like a flag on the back of a motorcycle blowing in the wind. No matter which side you look at the moving motorcycle, the blue part (union) is always facing forward. :)
Currently, the flag is worn on the right shoulder and the field of stars faces forward. The reason the team had the flag reversed is because that’s how the 10th MTN wore the flag in WW2. Also, the flag the players wore on Saturday only had 48 stars, because the US didn’t have 50 States when the flag was worn. Beat Navy!
