Scapegraces! Low born and unworthy of participating in polite society.
They're just an afterthought. Lol. But I went to college out in the Rockies, and other than BYU, no school is more universally hated out there than USAFA.
The field at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium was awash with American flags on Saturday as every player on Navy and Air Force sprinted out of the tunnel carrying the red, white and blue. Two Navy players carried the Marine Corps flag and the Navy flag. Halftime featured 135 midshipmen carrying a 65-by-120-foot flag surrounded by spinning red, white and blue stars as “America the Beautiful” was performed by the Navy and Air Force Drum & Bugle Corps. Outside of the venue, an artist drew the flag in the middle of a 9/11 memorial depiction.
The 54th meeting between Navy and Air Force was more than just a typical game between rivals as Saturday was the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Throughout the game, moments were taken to commemorate the deadliest attack on U.S. soil and to remember the 14 Naval Academy graduates and two Air Force graduates who lost their lives. The stands and grassy hill behind the north end zone were filled with an announced 36,997 people, the 10th-largest crowd in stadium history.
The football product was not as elaborate as both teams were offensively challenged in a 23-3 Air Force victory that gave the Falcons back-to-back wins against Navy for the first time since 2010 and 2011. The three points match the fewest Navy has scored in the series against Air Force.
AF vs Army. Tied going in to OT.
ETA: Congrats Army.
Looks like Army vs Navy will get some additional hype.
If Navy wins, it's a three-way tie this year.
There's no tiebreaker?
Lame.
I was in the Army. That's why I root against West Point...
Just the money that goes in to the 'neutral ' Army vs Navy game hosting and broadcasting.Outside of the three services there's not much excitement over this three-way rivalry.

Fixed it for you. But for all those West Pointers, you'd be a 4-star. Beat Navy!I was in the Army. I went to college out in the Rockies[, but I couldn't compete with the West Pointers, so I got out of the Army.] That's why I root against West Point...
I'm not going to joust with you. Thank you for your service - fewer than 1% of our population has served.
The History Department at West Point claims that "the history we teach was made by people we taught."
So there is that.
BEAT NAVY!
Air Force will be flying in with a 6-0 record having just beat Wyoming 34-27 just minutes ago. Air Force took the final lead at 2:17 left with an exciting 58 yard touchdown run by John Lee Eldridge III.
Boooo.
ETA: You didn't quote a post and I'm sleep deprived. Leaving the reply for those that are unaware. MattI just hope the spectator, veterans, and their families don't get kicked out of their hotel rooms for illegal immigrants/migrants like they did in MA. A total disgrace!
No matter what they did to rectify the problem, it's still a disgrace and should have never happened in the first place!
The QB has dropped back to pass 10 times, he's been sacked 4 times.What a peculiar Navy vs AF game on now.
Start of 3rd quarter Navy total yards: 20. 14 carry, 6 passing.
