Just me... or you, too, also long for those classic Army and Navy unis of old?

They wear the legacy stuff all season.
As much as I despise Nike, the uniform gimmicks they do create a lot of hype for the game
We get two weeks of articles and videos about the uniform changes
Sometimes the uniforms are really well done - like Army's Big Red One in 2018
I'm not crazy about this year's uniform. The desert camo thing is kind of played imo

83 yards rushing Army
84 yards rushing Navy

Crummy stats for two running teams but that's how this game often goes
Its an offensive flea market - you peck around and hope to land something good

Somebody please tell Gary Danielson (sp) that he's in NJ and those are Jersey State Troopers. "New York knows how to do it right" lol. Apparently he doesn't.
Just saw the coin used in toss said New York New Jersey. Did the ones used at the Link say Pennsylvania New Jersey? When did NY take north jersey like Crimea? Why does Jersey put up with this bull crap? State pride begins with state pride. Geez.

Records mean nothing in this game. It was a good one.
I didn't think so. Navy runner blew right by Army's best defender for long gains in first series. Army tackling was hideous. QB had no zip on his ball and UPS could have got it there faster lol.

Alas Navy coaches are fighting for their jobs (already fired a couple) and players had no bowls. Monken didn't seem to mind losing

It's an honor to have this game played in our neighborhood every year. Quality people, programs, and sportsmanship.

Well, if our public servants would take some REAL state pride, crap like this would not happen!

Turns out that the fake punt was an accident. Fagot said he didn't know it was coming, he just caught the ball and ran. Coach said the entire play was accidental, not called. Sometimes luck is on your side.

I don't know what's worse - on purpose or accidental lol,
Army lost to Wake Forest by 2 TDs this year
They gave up 2 TDs on botched trick plays
Army was good this year but they were missing playmakers - the guys who pull stuff out of the ether. They did a lot of things right but nothing really special. They looked flat right off the bat - like Ohio Vs MIchigan

MetLife Stadium is not publicly owned. It is owned jointly by the New York Giants and the New York Jets.

EDIT: To clarify - the Giants and Jets built the stadium with 100% private funding. The NJSEA owns the land, and leases it to the teams. But the key point is that the stadium is operated by an LLC which is a joint venture between the Giants and Jets. They, not the state or any state agency, are the decision makers.

Yeah not completely true. They don't own the land.

Ok, but even when Giants Stadium was still being used for events like this, WE had the same problem. And do you think the public servants in ny would allow this to happen? The stadium is in NJ. That is what matters, NOT who plays in it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was the significance of the person in the white hat in the army presentation around the 30 yard line near the Navy end zone?
They have students on both sides that do a semester at the other academies. They also have Air Force students at both schools as well. These students would be part of the prisoner exchange, who get to watch the game with their respective academies. I’m not sure but I do believe they have to return to the other academy to complete the semester

Ok..I googled and got too much technical crap. No easy answer. So for those in the know what does the Purple sash being worn by army cadets signify
?
A New Cadet never wanted to hear the statement “Report to the Cadet in the Red Sash”. The Cadet in the Red Sash was a “Firstie” or a senior that was neatly dressed in his “white over gray” class uniform with a crimson sash wrapped neatly around his waist. The Cadet in the Red Sash was a mythical and daunting figure of intimidation that would make any New Cadet tremble in fear.

Interesting. I guess that would explain that part then.

Met Life every 4 years. That may be a Bergen County perspective with respect to "neighborhood".
Ah ha. Where I live just north of Trenton I can get to both Giants, Eagles in an hour and Baltimore in 3. Hence my neighborhood comment. 🤗

No other state would agree to such things. NJ is NY’s play toy.

I don’t know but it’s odd a state would allow a stadium to be built in its borders and it’s teams who play in it not be called that state. I guess WFT plays in Maryland but that sort of different considering Washington isn’t a state.
