I've been to this game. 1993, the Meadowlands in Jersey. Army won it 16-14 in a hard fought game. My dad is a Navy vet as are all his brothers. My brother an Army vet. Two brothers in law, Army vets (one still in). I don't pick a side. I just sit and enjoy it. I highly recommend going to one if you can. It's a moving thing to watch young men fight on the field, then stand and salute at the end of it realizing soon many of them will be sent to their deaths for the good of country. Humbling experience in the face of all the $$$$$ programs chasing recruits, coaches, and facilities around the country. As if for just those 60 minutes, it is football in a more pure form.
