This annual discussion transcends the FBS/FCS barrier and has for the last 5 years.xthumbsupx When did Football become an Other sport?xnonono2x

[Mountaineer#96]

[bodoyle]

Gotta support my brother and go with Army. He was in 101st airborne.

[ASUMountaineer]

I had a grandfather in each, so I don't have a rooting interest. I saw Navy play last year in the Mieneke Car Care Bowl. I like what they're doing. I think Navy will win by 10.

27-17

[Appaholic]

Will not even be a game......VMI has a better chance of beating Navy.....Army football...xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[Col Hogan]

I'm retired Air Force...

My son is in the 101st ABN Div "Airborne!!!!"

My dad is retired Navy.....

I'm so confused.....but if I was to wager...I think Navy will win...

[Cobblestone]

Go ARMY!

xrulesx

[mlbowl]

30 voters, and not a single one of you picked up on the irony of choice #4. xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx

You fellas are slacking off...xwhistlex

[Mountaineer#96]

I did, but I didn't want to say anything since I am a firm believer in Karma.

[GreatAppSt]

I need a man for a secret a dangerous mission, I need an Army football player.xnodx

I remember the year that the Navy kid shanked the 29-yarder (or less) at the end of the game.xbawlingx

I have Navy blood on both sides. Go Middies!xthumbsupx

[CID1990]

You forgot to add a choice for "YAWN."

[Cobblestone]

Is the Citadel playing?

[bamamountaineer1013]

My dad was in the Navy for 25 years so that is where my allegiance lies.

Go Navy!!!

[SactoHornetFan]

My dad served on Big E from 1967-73.

Go Navy, Beat Army!

[Mountaineer#96]

Is the Citadel playing?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA xlolx

In all honesty if these guys showed up at your house in the middle of the night looking for you..........

You still would say GO Navy?

[LBPop]

Been a Navy fan since Joe Bellino (look it up, young'ns). Will be rooting for Navy, but the best all around football player on that field may be #5 of Army, Jeremy Trimble. Saw him in HS vs. LBKid and he can do anything on a football field. If he was a RB, he'd be a stud. If they needed him to kick FGs, he would be good from 40 yards. As it is, he's a tremendous WR and punt returner.

[GaSouthern]

GO NAVY CRUSH ARMY!

[GreatAppSt]

The only thing a Sea Man is capable of crushing is a cigarette butt when the smoking lamp is out.xlolx

[Umass74]

Four years on a Tin Can for me. Go Navy!

My ship. C.V. Ricketts DDG-5

[AZGrizFan]

I see now that cooler heads have prevailed, and logic has overruled emotion as the vast majority (i.e., the free world) understands that Navy will abuse Army this weekend. xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx

Here's mine, Umass! USS California (CGN-36)....now sitting in pieces in your medicine cabinet as razor blades....

The Ricketts is also razor blades. The Navy is holding one DDG---Charles F. Adams DDG-2 from the scrap heap, but no group has managed to raise enough $$ to make it into a memorial.

California--- that was a Virginia Class CGN, right ?

Uhhhh, No.

It was the lead ship of a big ol' two ship class (California & South Carolina), then they got smart and radically changed the design for the Virgina class CGN's to follow (Virgina, Texas, Mississippi & Arkansas).

I cross-decked to the Texas for about a week, and it was MUCH nicer, better laid out, sleeker lines, etc.

Little bit of trivia: Outside of the USS Long Beach, the USS California was the largest non-carrier combatant in the fleet until it was decommissioned in 1999. 596 feet long, crew of 600. 51 officers, 549 enlisted....

[woffordgrad94]

Army just isn't a very good team. Navy by a lot.

[Mountaineer#96]

Army just isn't a very good team. Navy by a lot.

Records and previous games don't count with this match up......it is who shows up on the field every year.

[Herdman]

Go Army, Beat Navy!

I didn't vote becaue I like the choices. I hope Army wins straight out because I don't think they have ever had their heads up their a$$.

I hope my nephew gets his most anticipated appointment to West Point soon.

Go Micheal!

[Herdman]

I don't know about that, I watched Citadel take it to VMI a couple weeks ago.;)

Didn't know that about the California. That was a big ship.

A bit of nuke-boat trivia, my buddy served on the Triton, SSN 586 (http://www.navybuddies.com/ssn/ssn586.htm) a one-ship class nuke boat. It had the shortest active service (about 8 years) of any nuke ever made.

The Navy said the the Triton class of radar picket subs was obsolete so it was decommissioned early. However, I wondered why such a big boat was not converted to another mission.

My buddy said the real reason the Triton was laid up after only eight years was that it was a hot boat...

[ngineer]

Navy should win on paper; but for some reason I feel Army will somehow pull this one out. It's been awhile for the Black Knights of the Hudson. Record is worse than Navy's but they seem to have played hard this year...and it is a game where emotion can be a factor.

[CID1990]

Is the Citadel playing?

NOPE. Army and Navy won't play us anymore.

Want to guess why?

[AZGrizFan]

ANCHORS AWEIGH MY BOYS ANCHORS AWEIGH


GO NAVY BEAT ARMY

[AZGrizFan]

Update:

Navy leads 24-3 @ the half. Looks like the 15 delusional ones are just that.....


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

NAVY >>> ARMY

[AZGrizFan]

Now 38-3, with about 8 minutes left.

Man, the black and blue nights are God-awful. xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx


A record-setting SIX IN A ROW for the Midshipmen!!!!! Never been done before! Paul Johnson is a GOD!!!

xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx

Damn Army needs a good coach!!!!!!!!

[bobbythekidd]

Navy got one! Don't be hatin on PJ.

[brownbear]

Navy 38-3, final. I expected to Navy to win, but I didn't think they'd kill 'em like that. Is that now 5 years in a row beating Army?

6. It ties the series record.

[brownbear]

The other significant streak is that Navy has won 11 straight games against the other service academies.

[Go...gate]

I was for Army, but they never had a chance. That is one weak program, a far, far cry from its glory days or even its last winning season (10-2, 1996)

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

PJ still probably won't be getting any calls from any athletic directors.

[08Dawg]

Despite the fact that I think dear ole El Cid would crush Army...if I had my way, Air Force over both of them!!

[Seven Would Be Nice]

Navy, it won't be close.

[AZGrizFan]

PJ still probably won't be getting any calls from any athletic directors.

THen they're still idiots. That guy just wins. Usually with inferior talent compared to who they play. And now has to recruit with the "oh, by the way, you'll have to serve 5 years in the military after you graduate" yoke around his neck.

I would think a Big-12 school would salivate at the idea of PJ running their program. He'd have Nebraska back to prominence in two years.

[spelunker64]

Navy, it won't be close.

Thank you Captain Obvious, game was yesterday.









Hope you were just kidding...

[Eaglesrus]

So, should they just go ahead and retire the Commander-in-Chief's trophy, or ride it out until Johnson leaves Navy and see if either Air Force or Army can beat Navy then?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's got a permanent home at the Naval Academy until PJ decides to move on.... xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx

[andy7171]

Paul Johnson HAS gotten offers from other schools, the last two year especially. He really likes USNA and all the traditions that go with it. It's going to take A LOT to pry him outta Annapolis.

[AZGrizFan]

Navy, it won't be close.

I'm gonna predict Navy wins, 38-3. Just a hunch. xlolx ;)

[08Dawg]

While I would seriously discount the possibility of the CinC Trophy moving up the Hudson any time soon, don't count Air Force out. Navy lost to Delaware and Notre Dame (by two points) while Air Force beat the Irish by twenty-something. Plus, Air Force didn't lay down and die in AF vs Navy like Army did in Army vs Navy. Air Force also whooped UNLV, a team which lost to Wisconsin by one touchdown. Don't count the Falcons out any time soon.

Navy had lost to Notre Dame 45 years in a row, so beating Notre Dame by a small margin was a good first step. Look for them to win by a bigger margin sometime soon.

It also took playing the worst Notre Dame team ever for Navy to get that win. I wouldn't expect this to suddenly become a competitive series all of a sudden.

Blah blah blah. 11 straight wins over service academies. Put that in your transitive pipe and smoke it. xlolx xlolx xlolx
