Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 It's that time of year again. The regular season is over. Pundits are debating Alabama, Florida State, or Texas. Coaches get fired, creating space for others to move up a tier or two. Players rush to the portal and NIL dollars in the new way of big time college football. And then there's Army-Navy...

Trailrider #896 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 And the coach of the loosing team can fear for his job! I root for Army, as my Dad was Army in WWII, and the Air Force was part of the Army until 1947. Air Force didn't do so well this year, and won't get the Commander's Trophy.

Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army-Navy game hotel rooms given away to migrants (americanmilitarynews.com) I cannot fathom why the powers that be decided upon Boston, of all places, to hold this game. It's not close to either school and has no ties to either one. Now the state is giving the finger to families in favor of illegal aliens. Sad state of affairs, but after all, it's Massachusetts, no great friend to our military anyway. And to the gentleman who complained about the name of the game being Army-Navy and not West Point vs. US Naval Academy, it's been the Army-Navy game since the first game.
