Settling in for Army v Navy

[ruralgopher]

Definately my favorite non-gopher game of the year.

Got that on one tv and the D2 national championship on the other. Turning into a good one.

Maybe Navy can be 12th team...
Good football tradition
Extremely tough academics

Go Army Beat Navy!

And Maryland does border Pennsylvania (one of the requirements is that the school is in a state that borders the Big Ten).

Also, their market is nationwide.

Zero chance Maryland joins the B10. They are ACC all the way. Maryland would lose the traditional rivalry with UVA in football. In basketball they rivalries with Duke, Wake Forest and UNC.

So does this Navy win mean that UCLA's season is over?

No, Army's season is over, UCLA goes to the Eagle Bank Bowl.

Oh yeah. I was thinking it was Navy that needed a 6th win to get to the Eagle Bank Bowl.

What a wierd situation. Apparently UCLA was still allowed to practice:

Go Army

I have a son at West Point and fully understand the rivalry of the game. These fantastic men on the field will soon be in harm's way and we owe them a hugh debt of gratitude. Soon I will be like thousands of other parents that have many sleepless nights worrying about their sons or daughters oversees. Although the game is about rivalry on the field, it is about brothership and serving their country the rest of the time. Let us honor these brave young men and women and all the members of our armed services. THANKS!!
