And with no apology whatsoever to my many friends who are Army veterans, may I express my honest sentiment that tomorrow is truly a bad day for you.
:P
Beat Army!!!!
To all of you Air Force veterans .... whatever. The Commander in chief's trophy is *not* yours. Again.

But in all seriousness, I can not wait to see the raucous welcome 47 will get from the Brigade of Midshipmen, the Corps of Cadets, their families and my fellow alumni as he, along with Speaker Johnson and our next SecDef are introduced. A glorious new day dawns!

Watched the game from beginning to end and was disappointed Army struggled with turn overs and a big lack in a passing game. Navy did fight hard and earned the trophy, this year.  I commend them on a well played game, but would offer that the penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct kinda spoiled it a bit. Until next year.

Very much cast a cloud over what should have been a great day. *We* are better than that. Still, at the end, I stood with the Brigade and sang *my* version of "Navy Blue and Gold" not the politically correct version in use today at the Severn School for Wayward Boys.
Loved switching to Fox to get real coverage of Trump and his entourage's welcome. Underscores just how completely unsat Biden has been in *never* attending.
Semper Fi and ...
BEAT ARMY!

But man oh man, what a TD run and what a great 2nd half! The service academies may not have great teams, but they are certainly disciplined and tenacious.
Go Navy!!
