Navy whipped Army that day.
Navy had only beaten 2 teams that season, Lehigh and Princeton.
Army was no better, they had only beaten Dartmouth and Rutgers (back when Rutgers was basically Temple) and the worst program in the nation.
Army lost to fricking Colgate...and didn't score a single point against a terrible Gerry Faust led Notre Dame team.

I watched that game and don't remember it being played there. Now, Napoleon MacCallum I do remember.

My best friend from HS was a middie that year. I remember him talking about going to California with the brigade.

I remember it well. I was in middle school and watched the whole game. Both teams were awful. I think they were both 2-8, but it was a big deal, and I watched the whole thing. I want to say it was on Black Friday. I also think Bama went up to play Doug Flutie and BC in Foxboro in the early game and lost.

Basically they did it because of the large military presence on the West Coast, but it was a giant PITA to transport both academies to California (which is why they haven’t done it since).
