Friday POSBANG - Army/Navy Edition
Pickings are slim as the only college football on this weekend is the classic Army vs Navy game.
As an Air Force Academy graduate, I'll be watching with interest, but not too much because we've already locked up the CinC Trophy, hashtag humblebrag.
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend as we look towards New Years Eve!

December 9th, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^

No Michigan football.
Now what?
Guess I'll just watch us kick buckeye ass over again.
Go Blue!

I've watched this game so many times, especially that amazing second half... it's really cool how we broke the code and stole their signals so we could dominate them!
Oh wait, that's...
December 9th, 2022 at 7:18 AM ^
I heard they had the flu again, the Blue Flu!!!

Time out. Does anyone think this is a coincidence?
Specifically, Santa Ono becoming the University President? When was his first day in office? Did anyone note the agendas for the Regents meetings? Yes, there’s a section of the agenda for general discussion. Does anyone actually believe it’s “general discussion”? Yeah, lol.. what it really is - is the equivalent of “Double Secret probation”.
What has happened, according to a confidential source, is fund an advanced research project that involves ALL academic and athletic departments at the University. What is the objective? Yes - signal stealing. This group, which includes tenured professors - meets on the Diag from 3:15 to 3:45 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as home game Saturdays.
This group is leveraging dissertation work by PhD candidates, and the results seem quite obvious. Yes, the findings of their research were on display in Columbus, and - were also applied during the men’s basketball game against Minnesota last night. You can see the impact this is having.
I’m sorry for breaking the confidence shared with me about this. It was too great a burden to keep quiet about.
Oh, Go Blue!
December 9th, 2022 at 5:29 AM ^
Go Navy! Beat Army.
December 9th, 2022 at 5:56 AM ^
GO NAVY!
(…and hopefully a Marine option guy will score the winning touchdown.)
December 9th, 2022 at 6:02 AM ^
I am looking forward to a weekend with no stress drinking.
Congrats Olu to a wonderful season!
Go Blue!

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm a sucker for the NASA worm logo!
December 9th, 2022 at 6:47 AM ^
Yeah that's' cool and I get that we've had more astronauts than any other university but it's starting to feel like they are running out of ideas for Army Navy game uniformz. Both teams have great base uniforms and this looks....nothing like it. We aren't the U.S. NASA Academy after all.
December 9th, 2022 at 7:09 AM ^
Maybe there will be one someday, though. For the space force.
December 9th, 2022 at 8:35 AM ^
That Space Force QB gets a LOT of air under his passes.
December 9th, 2022 at 10:37 AM ^
The army navy game is basically a 3 hour recruiting pitch for the military “join the navy become an astronaut!” Is the idea here I suppose
December 9th, 2022 at 6:11 AM ^
Thank you for your service and Go Army (my father went to West Point)!
I’m glad this game gets its own weekend and if anyone wants to read a fantastic book that explores the Army:Navy game I highly recommend John Feinstein’s book https://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-College-Footballs-Rivalry/dp/0316278246

Who's got it better than us?
December 9th, 2022 at 8:23 AM ^
NOBODY !!!!
December 9th, 2022 at 6:19 AM ^
Always enjoy watching this game. I have no dog in this fight, so I usually root for the underdog each year. Navy is a 2.5 point favorite, so go Army. Over/under is 32.5.
December 9th, 2022 at 6:20 AM ^
Happy Friday, Go Navy!
December 9th, 2022 at 6:28 AM ^
I only had one West Point officer during my time in the Infantry and despite what I had heard about them he was a pretty good dude and an even better soldier. Go Army!!
December 9th, 2022 at 6:32 AM ^
Last full day of vacation for my wife and I. We've been gone since Thanksgiving and definitely looking forward to sleeping in our own bed. Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!

Great tradition. I enjoy following the academies and their football traditions.
I enjoyed the game some time ago where heavily favored Navy was losing by a score to Army in sub-freezing weather (almost a windy white out.) Navy was marching down the field to take the lead. Thousands of Army cadets took off their coats and shirts then waved their shirts in the wind to encourage their brothers on the field. The TV camera cut to the crowd almost continually. The cadets were freezing and hooting and hollering at the top of their lungs while swinging their shirts in the wind. It didn't work but that was a tremendous show of camaraderie.

Jake Moody was robbed!
December 9th, 2022 at 6:57 AM ^

December 9th, 2022 at 7:19 AM ^
God Bless America!
December 9th, 2022 at 7:02 AM ^

December 9th, 2022 at 7:52 AM ^
It’s going to be a gloriously long 3 weeks. I don’t want to wait. I want my presents now!
December 9th, 2022 at 7:59 AM ^

December 9th, 2022 at 8:32 AM ^
Happy Friday and go hoops!

December 9th, 2022 at 8:37 AM ^
I love Army - Navy. It is timeless.
It's like a reenactment of traditional old-time college football, but it's real.
December 9th, 2022 at 8:49 AM ^
Go Navy!!!!
Beat Army!!!!
December 9th, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
Go Under! Beat Over!
December 9th, 2022 at 9:04 AM ^
As the father of a USNA grad, go Navy!
FYI, the mids weren't all that thrilled about going to the game in Philly. They had to get up at 4:00 a.m. and get on the bus to Philly. They had to do march on at 11:00 a.m. for the few fans in the stand and the tv cameras then go hang out in the parking lot until game time at 3:00 p.m., freezing their asses off. BTW those long, dark overcoats they wear weigh a ton.
After the game, its back on the bus for the quiet drive back to the Yard, with most mids sleeping.

2 more weeks and I'm done working until 1/3/23!!! LFG!!!
December 9th, 2022 at 9:38 AM ^
"DAMN THE TORPEDOES, FULL SPEED AHEAD!!"
GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!!
