Had season tickets to Army Football back in late 70's/early 80's. Always look forward to watching the annual revival. I'm often in the West Point area and it's just inspiring to see the calibre of the young people attending the Military Academy.
I probably shouldn't have been surprised at what happened earlier this year after the fatal car accident of Army's sophomore cornerback Brandon Jackson. The entire Navy coaching staff attended the funeral in Queens, NY, and the Military Academy filled 10 buses with cadets who also came to the service.
To me, the game is as special a sporting event as there is.
