After coming so close to pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the season so far, the Black Knights had to be disappointed, but that did not stop them from showing tremendous respect for their host.
This is what the visiting locker room at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium looked like before Army left:

OU fans were pretty classy as well, rendering a standing ovation to Army as the cadets departed the field...

Jordan Peterson encourages people who wish to live better lives to first "clean up your room".
His point is that people who cannot keep their own room clean (or, more broadly, manage their own lives well) should not be spending time advising others on how to live their lives.

They’re going to kick Navy’s ass this year.
Navy lost to lowly SMU. I seriously thought SMU would go winless this year.
