My President, Donald Trump was there. If by “our president”, you are referring to obama, you need to have a mouse, or better yet, a gerbil in your pocket. Because obama is not my president. He never has been, he never was, and he never will be.

EVERYONE in congress should attend-mandatory. If not they do not get paid for the following year. Might get them to quit.

NOT true. Army-AF and AF-Navy also. Stuff like this irritates me as a USAFA grad. I get the respect for the game, but there is a 3rd service academy, not to mention, USCGA and USMMA as well.

The sentiment is right, but it leaves out the Air Force Academy. All three teams play each other every year.

Can’t agree as a usna grad, there are also the USAA vs ysna and USAA vs Yama game. Also there are other sports and us coast guard academy. VMI and the citadel (not sure if 100% go into service from those two think they used to). Nice thought though.

Why haven’t they integrated women onto these teams? It puzzles me.

We used to play coast guard in a “little army navy game.”
I love the Coasties, but they were better swabbies than football players.
