They need to hurry up and build the Space Force Academy in Huntsville so we can have a second serving with Air Force vs. Space Force after the Army-Navy game.

I always wondered why these two service academies became “the game,” as opposed to Army vs. Air Force or Navy vs. Air Force.

Two very obvious reasons.

1. USMA and USNA have been around a LOT longer than the AFA.

2. Geography. West Point and Annapolis are relatively close, while Colorado Springs is a long fricking way from either one of them.

Been a good time so far. Bought some Navy gear. Watched the cadets and midshipmen march in. Grabbed some food. Checked out fan fest, got a Navy rally flag. Watching the teams warm up now.

Very very jealous

I wish they'd rotate it around to different areas of the country.

Would probably be better if they had it in Texas or Florida

The Air Force didn't become a separate branch of the military until 1947.

It was shocking bc surely sms wouldn't type something like that.

At quick glance, Navy kinda looks like the Patriots today.

I'm pretty sure they play it close to the academies so the "students" and fans can easily attend.

Not sure if I love those Navy helmets or think they're cheesy.
