Default Army Navy Football Week

I'm a big supporter of the US Navy for 364 days a year, but for one very important day they are my sworn enemy. The second Saturday in December features Army versus Navy. I know the level of football is no where near that of current college football, but this rivalry means quite a bit to me. It is nearly 120 years old and has always been about more than football.

This video has always been able to best tell the story of what it means to the graduates (and families) of each institution.

Post any of your Army or Navy football items.

110 Years ago, in 1902, the Cadets played the Midshipmen at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. President Roosevelt was in the stands that day to watch the Cadets beat the Mids with a score of 22-8.
