Poor, poor, RichardS.   :P  Some day, or some year, he may succumb to the realization that NAVY IS THE BEST!!!

There is always next year but at least we are allies.
Thanks for the U.S. Armed Forces, one and all.

Richard, it's a sad day. Navy is truly the best in football. I wait all year for this game, it's great to see such fine men and women.  Thanks to all of them and God speed.   Tom

That was not just a defeat, it was a drubbing . . . right up there with the 1949 game in which the score was Army 38, Navy 0.   ;)   Enjoy the moment, Navy.  To paraphrase General MacArthur, "We shall return!"   8)

I well remember some of those past greats from the Hudson:
Mr. Inside and Mr Outside, Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis.
General Pete Dawkins wasn't exactly a slouch, either.

and let us not forget the lonely end, Bill Carpenter--also
a Vietnam hero. Roger Staubach was quite a player, too.
