Before Navy can retain the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy by beating Army on Saturday, the Midshipmen will first have to find it.
The trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the football competition between the three major service academies, was stolen Monday night from the team locker room, Navy spokesman Scott Strasemeier said Wednesday.
The trophy had been on display in a locked glass case for the past two years at Bancroft Hall, the school's dormitory. It was moved to the football building to provide motivation for the players, but sometime after 9:30 p.m., the 170-pound trophy was taken from the locked building, Strasemeier said.
Left in its place was a note that read: "Before we win the football game on Saturday, we thought we would take the trophy. By the time you read this, it will be halfway to West Point," home of the U.S. Military Academy.
"We don't know who did it," Strasemeier said. "The investigation is ongoing."
Although it would appear that the theft was an Army prank, there was no evidence except for the note. In the past, Army has stolen the goat that Navy used as a mascot.
"We hope that it's a prank, and I am assuming it is, considering the note that was left," Strasemeier said. "As long as the trophy shows up Saturday in the same condition as it was Monday night, no harm, no foul."

Someone needs to question the Army mule.
Never did like saltwater taffy!! GO ARMY !!!! :0 )
Heh. Like the Dems, the Woops can't win honestly, so they have to steal.
Army/Navy week...my favorite week in the Pentagon...
GO NAVY!!! BEAT ARMY!!!
Comparing the Woops to the 'Rats is going too far, even during this week. It's also bad strategery, since Kerry and Carter are both Navy vets. In fact, you may not know this, but John F. Kerry fought in Vietnam and returned a decorated war hero!

Go Navy
I remember the fond days of college attending Purdue in wonderfull W. Lafayette, IN. The evil arch-rival villian bastards of Indiana would dig up the bones of John Purdue for their dastardly satanic pimple bursting rituals.
Yes - at a place in New York State, near a river.
Now, if the Navy mascot was a sheep instead of a goat ...
Ahhh did not have sex with that goat.
Army spokesman, Bill Clintern
Go Navy! Beat Army!!
The reason, I think, that the "investigation" won't name the obvious suspect is that they don't want to have to follow through with disciplinary action. This is standard stuff for Army-Navy week, except it is usually "Bill" that goes missing.
Ah yes the bell. I wonder if anyone else appreciated your dad's Swiss Army Knife skills?
If he's okay with it, you should post the lyrics to the poem, so people could appreciate his skill with a pen!
Heheheheeeee!
