Army vs. Navy

[M2]

I really don't give a shit which team wins.


But they both seem to be sporting some pretty sweet gear this year.


Army has the better uniforms... while the Midshipmen have some of the coolest looking helmets I've seen in quite awhile.




Army








Navy

I guess the academies aren't above being Nike's marketing bitches, because any attention is good attention, right?

[King Crimson]

i know its blasphemy to many but this annual tilt means almost nothing to me.

i'm an Air Force guy if i have to choose an academy....being in Colorado and such. most years AFA is better than both.

[Goober McTuber]

Somebody a while back suggested the book "A Civil War" by John Feinstein. I read that and gained a much greater appreciation for this game.

same here being a former wingnut, but you have to respect the tradition of both institutions and of this game... and realize that the AF was actually started as an extension of the Army, the Army Air Corp.

The Army glee club doing the national anthem was most impressive, to say the least.

my granddad was in the air corps. purple heart and air corps medal of honor. flew ploesti bombing mission which was one of the highest casualty missions among the allies not called DDay. u know your wwII history you know ploesti.

i respect the institutions....the past, the history.....but at some point it's not BTPCF.

[Carson]

I dare somebody to say a fucking word about Army's QB crying.

[Mace]

I'm surprised someone hasn't said something already.

Yep, when the going gets tough, the tough start crying....for 20 fucking minutes.

Says the Oklahoma nutsack riding, Vandy grad. At least you supposedly have family ties over say Killitard who has nothing other than being molested by a priest for his BTPCFB ties.

Vannie in New Mexico doesn't have either either, so I guess both you losers have bode on him. Props, I guess.

[Screw_Michigan]

Nobody other than crusty out of touch old farts give two fucking shits that the USAF was once part of the Army. And carriages were once pulled by horses, who gives a fuck, losers?

[Screw_Michigan]

Is there any bigger bitch in a rivalry than Army? Jesus, bitched slapped 11 straight years by your arch rival. Michigan basketball thinks that's pathetic.

[M Club]

Michigan basketball thinks that's pathetic.

I suppose the inverse of rooting for the school you bought season tickets to have connections to holds true here: that you can only viscerally hate the school that rejected you.

[Killian]

Spreadsheet! Spreadsheet! Spreadsheet!

It really is too bad you weren't smart enough to get into MSU. The application was one page, front and back.

[Left Seater]

Somebody a while back suggested the book "A Civil War" by John Feinstein. I read that and gained a much greater appreciation for this game.

Good to know someone actually read it and enjoyed it. It should be required reading for any college football fan. Problem is it requires actuall reading, not just looking at pictures which eliminates much of this group.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Also read that book and enjoyed it. Still don't spend more than 5 minutes watching that game. :|

Who said I applied to MSU?

[Killian]

Well then I'll give you credit for realizing you didn't have the mental capicity to hack it at State. Props.

[War Wagon]

You don't have to be a crusty old fart or out of touch to have an appreciation for history. As the saying goes, people who the forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Which would explain your tendency to continually mash submit.

[Dinsdale]

With his "you root for a school you didn't attend... GOOOOO GEORGE WASHINGTON!!!!!" schtick...


is this year's Board Bitch Award even up for debate?

[Screw_Michigan]

Well then I'll give you credit for realizing you didn't have the mental capicity to hack it at State. Props.

Right. One of the most academically challenging schools in the nation.

[Screw_Michigan]

With his "you root for a school you didn't attend... GOOOOO GEORGE WASHINGTON!!!!!" schtick...

Yeah, going to GW games is a lot like nutsack riding ND football, except with out the pedophilia and buggery. With your propensity for kicking your own ass, I understand how you're confused.

[Dinsdale]

With your propensity for kicking your own ass, I understand how you're confused.

I'm surprised you don't refer to the Chiefs and Royals as "we," as well.

[Killian]

Well then I'll give you credit for realizing you didn't have the mental capicity to hack it at State. Props.

Right. One of the most academically challenging schools in the nation.

Exactly, which makes you not being smart enough to attend all the more funny.

Gee I'm really sorry now that I missed out on seeing those fabulous new unis in action...but at least we have you here to provide an update based on your obviously well developed fashion sensibility. Tell me something though, how are the skin tight pants? Do they do a really good job of accentuating the junk and stuff?

While we're at it do you have any reviews of most recent Project Runway season? Unfortunately I had to miss all of the episodes and forgot to set my DVR.

Er, Screw's lack of interest in anything State-related should have been your first clue he didn't apply there. It's obvious he sent out applications to three schools: U of M, ND, and WMU.

[Van]

Maybe because people realize that Army-Navy matters a whole lot more to those kids than any Bama or Florida game will ever matter to those kids.

Hell, I don't know. Perhaps he just saw Twilight?

[Mace]

Say what you want about the quality of the teams or the lack of significance to BTPCF, but the players from these two schools represent the best of the best of the youth in this country and I will always watch it.

Remind me to send you some porn links.

'
still not exactly sure what this weak out of nowhere ad hominem "blast" has to do with the army-navy game, my opinion of it, or the USAF.

everyone here loves some non-contextual smack when it's done well...but?

this is lamer than an oversized pic of Coit Tower with a full moon.

[King Crimson]

and if i have to defend my Sooner heritage...i'll do it for Texas fan or some shit that matters...not some Big 10 not wannabe asshat.

internet message board 1998 can you root for a school you didn't go to....and be legit?

wow. awesome stuff Screw.

the line between being a contrarian and moron isn't as slight as it may seem, brother.
