Also, the quote was: "I just love the armed forces. Love the folks. The spirit is so incredible, I mean, I don’t know if it’s necessarily the best football, but it’s very good. But boy do they have spirit, more than anybody, it’s beautiful"



Absolutely nothing wrong with this

Why else would these comments be relevant, if not to imply that he has negative feelings about servicemen? If that's not the case then you tell me why those comments are relevant.

It's not the best quality football. He was right. Doesn't mean he should have said it. There was no reason to say something that could potentially be taken as an insult.

Both teams combined for five fumbles and three interceptions. Once again, Trump is right. Sorry you don't really understand the game to know what constitutes a "good" game of football.

No, they are not ranked. They were No. 25 in one of polls following week 15 based on a 9-3 record. Losing to Army put them at 9-4 and no updating of the ranking occurred due to it being a stand alone week. The lost to Army puts them well out of the top 25.

In the Sagarin Computer rankings (which includes the stand alone week) they are currently ranked No. 49. Army is ranked No. 95.

More or less exactly what I said, and applicable to the liberals who voted for Trump.

Un-fricking-believable

That's all anybody here has said.

Why are Trumptards so defensive? They seem to be emotionally fragile and shatter at the slightest thing.

You've provided great insight to it. Thanks for that.

It's the Army-Navy game, not the Special Olympics. I would hope that at the intersection of our armed forces and college football, you'd find men who don't let "not nice words" bring them down. If he said that about the Egg Bowl, you'd probably think it was hilarious.

So you confirm that Navy is ranked No. 25. Thanks.

Exactly. That's how Trump was able to easily fool them into believing he is somehow anti-establishment.

I have posted time and again links to scientific studies proving that loons like TXTiger have a mental disorder. Yet here you are...side by side with someone that probably belongs in a psych ward...agreeing everyone else is melting. It's the height of projection and a sad statement that your only ally is someone who is legitimately unhinged. Your melt has brought you to new levels. Be careful. Tx is legit crazy. Don't follow him down that dark path.

I thought it was a good, competitive game


Agreed. It was good to finally see the Black Knights of the Hudson win for once. It had been 15 years. The key was that Army had finally relaxed some of the weight restrictions so that their linemen were somewhere at at a better position to compete. I kind of enjoy watching two somewhat competent option type teams

Lets finish the quote.

"The spirit is so incredible. I mean, I don't know if it's necessarily the best football, but it's very good."

Where did he take a swipe at the players? I'm pretty sure that they would all acknowledge that they aren't the best football players around.

Not the angle I'd go with but definitely correct.
