As a Navy grad, the rivalry games between Air Force and Army were always the biggest of the year for us. But, I know that the rest of the country cared little.
Now that we're in the conference with you guys, will you pay more attention? Or, will these games go unnoticed to those without a Service Academy connection?
Thanks!
BEAT AIR FORCE!
I'll pay attention but really....I feel sorry for Army for losing so much. Sucks for them. Can't just win one game?
Now that the Army has demobilized from the Middle East, I expect West Point to start becoming competitive. I'd give it 4 years. But they have to stick with their current coach.
Army's football problems have very little to do with the Middle East.

RE: Service Academy Rivalries
I've already watched 3 Navy games this season and plan to watch more. I don't think I've ever seen more than 2 Navy games per season before this year. IMO the AAC has been good for Navy and Navy has been good for the AAC.

Service Academy Rivalries
I always pull for conference teams when they are playing their rivals.
It's good karma.....

I think it's difficult for Army to recruit talent comparable to USNA and AFA when ones reward after graduating is an all expense paid trip to the sandbox.

Got Bill Yeoman, Houston HC to thank for that, he created it. Father of the Triple option or better known back in the day as the Veer option offense
