Army/Navy game
« on: December 12, 2015, 10:44:28 PM »
14!  Damn it, I'm almost wanting to root for Army . . . Almost.

Back in 1991 my Cruiser anchored in Baltimore during the game, and we fired a 5" for each touchdown.  Great time!

Not sure how the locals would take that salute today. Sad, really. I've always had a hard time figuring out who to root for, most of my family has been Navy (I got my start from the Marines in JROTC and loved it), but my career was in the Air Force (which grew out of the Army Air Service), so I figure whoever wins, as long as it's a good game, I win. ;D After all I get to sit in the recliner with a cold beer, can't beat that.

I always root for Army, because of my Army roots. The Navy usually has the better team. It is a game that has traditions dating back over a century.

364 days a year I don't have any problem rooting for the Army.  One day a year I do!!!

The REAL reason Navy won was those mondo kool helmets.  If you've not seen them they are really something!
