Its a fricking game.
True.
But it's 4 years of blood and sweat to win that ONE game.
This isn't Vanderbilt losing to Kentucky or something.
Military doesn't forget anything - this would have been on his resume for his career up the chain. A hero, the QB who finally beat Navy.
I'm sure they know it's not life and death more than anyone else knows what's not life and death...and after graduation, it gets real.
But at the Academy, this is their prep for military service, war, etc. And the Army/Navy game means everything to each Academy.

and that's the thing. This is the last time nearly all of them will ever play football again, and in the biggest game they'll ever play and ever have played. It's a lot more emotional for these guys knowing this is it for them.

The last Army Quarterback to win a bowl game was given a General Grade Article 15 as a result of what happened in Iraq in 2003 and forced out.
He was a BZ Major and BZ LTC selection, 1st look CSL.
But many are right that this means far more to Academy grads than anyone else.
