I think this was the first time I have ever watched a the entire army/navy game. It was a great game, and I found myself emotionally invested in it. I think that is why I choked up when Steelman broke down. I feel bad for them. That's a tough way to end your football career. Nevermind the fact that he's in the service.
I ALWAYS watch THIS game. Its STILL PURE emotional football. NO PRO contracts on the line. Just a BUNCH of KIDS that will give EVERYTHING they have to be their BEST.

I agree. When I left the room Army was driving w/ under 2 minuets and when I get back Steelmans' bawling his eyes out. With all the pageantry that surrounds this game and seeing him be so emotional was a very poignant moment
Edit: Let's not feel too sorry for Steelman . . . Once chics see him crying like that, he'll have to try not to fumble all the panties being thrown his way. I mean the guys name is Steelman and he cries . . .

Acutally it's double jeopardy. They get to go the White House for the formal presentation.

Steeling (the ARMY QB) reaction was the most gut wrenching I have ever seen. I have to think it was more than the loss itself - also the realization that his days of football are over.

There are alot of grudge matches in football, alot of historical rivalries. But I don't think you can name another game that means more to the players and fans/members than this game. Maybe it's the history of what 100+ yrs, or maybe it's the fact that it's the two service academy's. But you can just feel it watching the game no matter how close or a blow out.
it's 2 universities where you literally don't leave after graduation day... you spend at least what... 2 to 4 years in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps (and for many it's their lifelong career)... so these games between the service academies do mean a lot more to the student-athletes, other students & alumni... even members of the armed services that didn't go to the school.
it's a much stronger rivalry than any other in the country

I didn't catch the whole game, but please tell me I didn't miss Biden in the booth with Uncle Verne and Danielson

College football is absolutely incredible.

Those shots of Steelman are just too much, that digs deep.
How people cant comprehend the power of sports is beyond me
