I love this game, and always pull for the underdog. Given Navy's nine game winning streak in the series that means I'm rooting for Army, again.

Interesting read on the history of this game.

In the early years, there were a number of gaps in the rivalry. Following Navy's win over Army in 1893, a Navy Rear Admiral and an Army Brigadier General got into a heated argument while drinking in a club in New York. They agreed to a duel, but there's no record of the duel having taken place, and no one was wounded or killed. Still, it was enough for the Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy to bring the matter before President Grover Cleveland, who in a February 1894 cabinet meeting abolished Army-Navy football games, a ban that lasted until 1899.

What a great atmosphere. I wish both these teams best of luck. Too bad someone has to lose...

Nike and the schools did well.

Go Army.

I really did like Army's Nike Pro Combat uniforms, especially the shoes to mirror combat boots.

Navy's were nice too.

Overall, both uniforms looked good.

Damn, Army had their chances but turnovers were the difference. At least they covered.
