Army has been a lot better this season, but with this game things can still be close. Usually someone has to pass more since the option stuff doesn't tangle-up either team. Army's starting QB has been injury prone so there's that. Back-ups have been ok if not spectacular

One note - Army already won Commander-in-Chief's Trophy regardless of Saturday's outcome. Army beat Air Force and they beat Navy so Army locked the thing down

Bought tickets. Siked for the atmosphere and we have unseasonably warm temps despite some rain

I’ll be attending Army/Navy for the first time on Saturday.

Game will come down to turnovers. Army is the better team but if they’re -2 or worse in turnovers they can absolutely lose.

Hope it was early last night. Trenton to Met Life is still some distance even for a relay.

Yes, it was around 7pm. They had 60 miles to go, so assuming 10 minute miles, they should've made it to Met Life around 5 this morning.

I was driving back from Pittsburgh last night and passed a group of runners escorted by the NJ State Police on route 1 in Trenton; finally figured out that it was Midshipmen running a football from Annapolis to Met Life for today's game!

Cool. I was wondering about this year because every other year they'd run it nearly right past my house going south to Philly or Baltimore.

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
?

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?

I remember cheering loudly with other Rutgers fans at the Navy game whenever they mentioned one of the company commanders was from NJ.

Several from jersey today including a Cadet from Princeton. Jersey well represented across both academies.

I’d settle for the Lacrosse Final Four or some big name concerts in the Summer.

They had 3-4 Lacrosse Final Fours in the late 90s early 00's. A number of quarter finals earlier. They seem to prejudiced towards LI (Hofstra) for quarters these days but one can hope.

If you haven't been watching this season, Army's 6'7" OLB Andre Carter is #2 in nation for sacks with 14.5 (including 1 vs Wisconsin)

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.

Tweet him to let him know. I would do it, but I don't do twitter.
