    This has been a fun week, and I would cherish the ability, one day, to have a forum get together to get our members from each side to watch it together.

    A sign not seen anywhere on a Navy base.

    True that- the warfighters are shipboard and are there for whatever it takes.  Chances are quite high that any port where the ships moor after the kick A$$ adventure don't concern themselves with the port authority constructing signs.  No airplanes to get 'em home-just rewind and kick someone else's A$$ next go 'round.

    @thetrim,

    Ya know, it wasn’t the Army that was called upon to deliver 3 head shots to 3 Somali pirates from the deck of a rolling ship to rescue a ships captain.

    Thats because all the Army's "steely eyed killers" were in training for their newest and elite MOS.

    For all you Army supporters, let me help you with the game math:
    Army is a 6.5 point favorite.  That means you have to out-score Navy by that much in the betting circles.
    Here you are just gonna get your A$$ whipped.  So STFB.  ;)

    I went into Costco yesterday and a large group of old veterans were sitting in the food area. 

    I walked by by and yelled “Go Army!” I heard about 20 “Beat Navy”

    Then immediately after I heard an old muffled 70+ year old man yell “F*ck you young man!” 

    I said “easy seaman” he yelled back “I’m a marine!”

    I called @thetrim laughing all the way to the car. This rivalry is the best.

    the line has moved to Army -7.5.  I would never bet on this game, and my guess Is it’ll End within a TD.   

    One big difference from last year to this year is that Army was a much better team going into this game as an underdog last year vs Navy this year.  

    That being said, Navy GROSSLY underperformed this year and can turn a disappointing season into a great one with a win today.

    The only thing this helps me with is Navy needs points to be as good as Army, maybe Navy should play with 12 players to Army's 11 to make it even...LMAO

    GO ARMY.

    You trying to back out of the bet we already made? Typical Army behavior. Turn tail and run when the sledding gets tough.
