I don't want to start a firestorm, but it's West Point vs the Naval Academy, not Army /Navy. West Point never represented me during my 20 years on active duty, they represent other West Point and Naval Academy graduates. They are college football players who will be in the Army when they graduate, just like all the ROTC folks.
Graf - one foot in mud, one foot in snow and dirt blowing in your face. My favorite Graf story was talking with my German landlord about it. He was in Rommel's command and trained at Graf in the 1930s. Same stories we told, separated by 40 years.
Don't know about the Navy, but the Army "hooah" has been around as long as the Marines cry. I can remember it from about 40 years ago, just never thought much of it.
When I was in Pershing missiles, Santa would always come into the kaserne riding on the back of a PII missile. Nothing days Merry Christmas like a nuclear ballistic missile..
