Exhibit A why Army/Navy should always be THE game of the year

2012 Army Navy
Skip fwd to the 2:30:00 mark of the game and watch it until about 2:40:00.
Here's the set up- Army hasn't beaten in a gazillion years. Army is led by a senior QB whose last name is Steelman (perfect name for an Army QB). For 4 years he's tried to beat his school's rival and now he's leading his team, in his final year to a long-awaited victory. And then it happens....
In a world of high school juniors tweeting about their top 20 finalist schools being considered to be blessed with their talents for the next 3 years or multi-million dollar coaches showing off waterfalls in the locker rooms.......you also have these guys. Gary summed it up best during the game - "football is the easiest thing these guys do during their careers at the academy".
On a sidenote, we all give Verne and Gary crap for some of their calls, but these 10 minutes are pretty much perfection. Very little talking. They just let the scenes speak for themselves. When they did speak, it was impactful.
Looking forward to the game this weekend!

Man so close. Hopefully this is the year. All that being said I get what you are saying about the Steelman kid, but I wouldn't be thrilled to have an officer lead me into battle taht can't hold it together after losing a football game. Im sure that's not a popular opinion, but I hate when dudes cry over sporting events. Its a fricking game.

As an Air Force vet, I hope this game ends in a 0-0 tie with nothing but gaffes on both sides

Navy was looking ahead of their conference championship game to the Army game. That should tell you what it means to the players. Beating Army is more important to them than winning the AAC.

Too bad enlisted folks really don't give a shite.
