I know this is a Notre Dame blog -- but, we did play both of these teams this year! The "Army - Navy Game" has always been my favorite "non- Notre Dame" football game of the year. I'll be glued to the TV set this afternoon at 2 PM EST (CBS) as they kick off the 111th game in the history of "America's Game" from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Navy leads the series over Army; with 54 wins, 49 losses and 7 ties.
One of the greatest spectacles in sport is the MARCH ON -- as the Army Corps of Cadets and the Navy Midshipmen take the field in Philadelphia (this takes place two hours before kick-off) -- I've posted some videos below of this. And, here's a link to the official website for the game - when you get there, click on the RIVALRY tab. You'll enjoy the stories.
