- More declarations.
- Players appear to be high character guys.
- Uniforms are not over the top.
- Declaration setup seems better.

Enjoying this game.

Not only all of that, but the players look way better coached and the game is extremely less sloppy.

I guess that can happen when you have the likes of David Robinson and Barry Sanders around the young guys versus Deion Sanders.

I can't help but feel like the army has it's hand in the quality of the production. Not a lot of "show off" type players and with out the flashy uniforms. The UA game is all about the individual, and I have always felt that way since I have been following recruiting for 3 or so years.

Just classy,even the players. Spending time with the nations finest seems to be a damn good thing. Really like the whole feel of it.

Under Armor tries to wow you with flash.
This game is tied to the military - order, discipline, sportsmanship.

The Army has always been better. It's always been the premier game. The UA game came along just to promote ESPN's shitty recruiting service.

Would be cool to let these kids wear their high school helmets(w/ small inspection perhaps) and rep their school.

The game is and overall presentation is much better.

And that would be interesting to see the two winning teams from the all-star games to play one another, but I wouldn't want them to mix trash with class.

They still have two more announcements to go with under 3 minutes left. Hope they can squeeze them in.

I agree with you guys but you are a little butt hurt about Collins. Although I think the presentation is more entertaining and less showy. It's more class and better football the quality of players is even.

The announcements have been about the same. A few years ago ESPN has kids in stands surrounded by fans with hats on.

They sat on a couch and announced. Nothing difficult about that.

Tony dingy coached the hell out of those boys so don't say the coaching was better.

I was talking about the production of the show. Like I said it would be a great game for winner to go against winner.

Sorry, but you're incorrect. That may be true for some, but anyone can see that there is less "clownage" and more "business" with the production of these games.

I agree with one poster about the UA/ESPN over-commercialization has plenty to do with it. The Army is not promoting what they are.

On another note, I wish you and others would stop trying to connect everything to LC's commitment just because you're still affected. That ship has passed. Let it go and move on.

You need to let it go and move on, dude. LC is not your son or brother. Let that man go.
