This game always is a struggle for me to root for one team over the other. My dad served a couple of years in the Navy, but my uncle played at West Point.

I was in both the Navy and the Army, and I still say GO NAVY!
Well I can't watch the game. I promised not to hog the TV until bowl season, and I tried to watch the CBS stream. I don't know if you guys have experience trying to watch games streamed on CBS website, but they have the absolute worst stream on the internet. It changes, hangs, freezes, rewinds constantly. I give up. I hope navy wins. I'll catch the highlights.

13 in a row! I battled w/ the cbssports live feed (or mostly "live" feed). I really feel for those Army seniors. You can tell it is so devastating to lose once again to their rival. I suspect the Navy run of consecutive wins over Army may be drawing to a close soon b/c this coach for Army is a good coach and has them playing much better than years past.
Army just never seems to have quite the same level of athletes as Navy does in the more recent era. I don't know the reason, unless it's just a decision to not go after athletes by Army. No idea.

I believe it has to do with their coaching hires over the last decade. Paul Johnson got the ball rolling for Navy then Ken has kept it rolling since being promoted to HC. Army taking Ken's former assistant was finally a smart move as it takes a guy with the same mindset and coaching philosophy as the previous 2 navy coaches and implements it in to the Army program. "If you can't beat 'em..."
