A Game of Honor, Indeed



I have no personal connection to Army v. Navy. I have no immediate family members who are current or former service members. I don't know many friends or neighbors who serve either.

That said, I hold these men and women in tremendous awe.

Showtime has produced what looks like an absolutely EPIC, "Save Until I Delete" caliber documentary on the game, the nature of the service academies, and the passion that goes into this rivalry.

I've only seen the 30 minute "making of" preview, the full documentary airs December 21st, following the game on Saturday.

If this won't give you chicken-skin, nothing will. You might just be dead.

    Thanks, Czabe. It's always great to see "an outsider" who gets it. There is absolutely nothing like Army-Navy.

    Go Army! Beat Navy!

    I can not begin to express how cool this is....

    In the world of college football it may not mean as much, but in the overall scheme it means everything.

    Hands down the BEST rivalry in sports, BAR NONE!!!!

    GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

    Too bad they had to rip off John Feinstein's idea to do it. He'd been lobbying to do this for years, but the TV network stole it.
