Now, I spent some time in the Army, 3 years, so I am naturally cheering for Army. My daughter-in-laws father actually played for Army! Now I find out that the Father of Courtney (#my other daughter-in-law) was in the Navy! The rivalry has been going on since the year 1890:
- They have played 116 times
- Navy leads the series with 60 wins-49 losses & 7 ties
The thing that really gets my goat (which is Navy's mascot) is that Army has lost the game for the past Thirteen (13) years!
This is Insane!
I remember the game at Franklin Field when Dad was working traffic & got John & me in through a side door! I remember when Dad got me a job selling Pop-corn at the Vet & that damn woman from Texas gave me the popcorn back because I scooped the corn with my bare hands! Hey! It was before Plastic...what else should I have done? I think her name was Lady Bird or whatever.
Anyway, if I was the person in power in the USMA I would be embarrassed by the performance of the Football Program vs Navy over the past 13 years!
13 years straight To Swabees???
I just don't get it...
