While today is big, with Notre Dame playing USC, next week is the one we Navy juniors live for: Army-Navy.
December 2 will be the 107th meeting of the two service academies; Navy leads the series 50-49, with 7 ties. I've been to one of the games. I know it was played in Philadelphia, and I know that Roger Staubach played for Navy. I think it must have been 1964, the year after Staubach won the Heisman. Army won, 11-8, according to Wikipedia. I don't remember the score, but I do remember the disappointment.
This year Navy has an 8-3 record, while Army is 3-8. That may not mean much; Army's playing for a share of the Commander-in-Chief's trophy, awarded to the winner of the three-way series between Army, Navy and Air Force.
Go Navy!
