Navy - Army Open Thread
USNA Grad here. Thought I would throw up a Navy - Army thread.
Navy hasn't been great this year. Let's see if they can get some decent QB play.
Not a fan of the uniformz. Both team's normal uniforms look great. They've run out of creative ideas.
GO NAVY!

3 and out for Navy to start the game. Seen a lot of that this year.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
Rooting for Navy but i think it's going to be a long day.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
4th and 2. Ouch.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
GO NAVY.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
Beat Army.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
Navy's uniforms look good. Army's? Not so much.
December 10th, 2023 at 12:56 AM ^
Unless you served in the Army, in which case you love that cammo color.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
Yikes. Navy should stick to the triple option.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
Well…crap.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
The 2022 rule change that banned cut blocks outside the tackle box hurt the service academies.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:06 PM ^
+1 for username

Sprinkled a bet on Navy in honor of my Grandpa who served on the USS Witchita in WWII. Appreciate everyone who served or who has family that served!
December 9th, 2023 at 3:50 PM ^
According to Wikipedia, your Grandpa was in the same task force as my Dad as they invaded the Marshall Islands in 1944. God bless him and all that served 🙏. Go Navy!!
December 9th, 2023 at 4:04 PM ^
Indeed, God bless them all.
We lived in the Marshall Islands. WWII remnants and stories preserved and passed down keep the memories of those who fought there very much alive.

He looked short. Giant gain on 1st d
December 9th, 2023 at 3:45 PM ^
TD Army! 6-0.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:59 PM ^
Army looks great.
Beat Navy!
December 9th, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
Go Army beat Navy
December 9th, 2023 at 4:07 PM ^
Anchors Aweigh!!!
December 9th, 2023 at 4:08 PM ^
Arline is bad. He's been bad all year. Sigh.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:11 PM ^
I get why many prefer the traditional uniform, but I like the Army uniforms. It reminds me of the vehicles I worked on in Iraq... color, numbering, chevrons. Plus, I think it's kind of cool that they are repping my old division. Let's Go Army! Score some more for the broken TV's!
December 9th, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
Those Bradleys are cool. These Army uniforms are still ugly though. Navy's aren't much better. Their normal uniforms are fantastic - I wish they would just wear those.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:22 PM ^
As a former member of the 3rd Infantry Division, Army’s uniforms are great.
Rock of the Marne! 😏
December 9th, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
Ex-Navy here. I’m with you on the Army Uni’s. No mistaking what team that is out there. An homage to desert khaki and stencil font as well as the 3rd Infantry.

Rock of the Marne!
December 9th, 2023 at 4:19 PM ^
Let's see if Navy's 2-minute offense is any better than Michigan's.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:52 PM ^
Go Army, beat Navy!
December 9th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
It feels like Brian Ferentz is coaching Navy’s offense. I miss coach Ken.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^
Other than not being a fan of alternate uniformz, these are not horrible but I do like the classic better and since I only watch Army and Navy if they are playing each other, us or ND, I will rarely see the classic if they always wear alts when they play each other.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Go Army, Beat Navy. Army looks the better team today so far.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
Eat squid!
December 9th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
I like the throwback type of football on display. Just buckle up the chin strap, don't forget the mouth guard, hard hitting, snot bubble, slobberknocker football.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
What's the point of video replay if the replay official gets it wrong? The punt clearly touched the Navy player's shoe yet they don't call it a fumble.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
Yeah, that hit his foot. Refs have to have some guts to make the tough calls.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:29 PM ^
Navy singing Mr. Brightside.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:02 PM ^
That song will sap and impurify the bodily fluids of our men and women in uniform.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:21 PM ^
Is that right? Why don’t you just go ahead and give me the code, Jack?
December 9th, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
Heh. Mr. Brightside.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:32 PM ^
America’s Team is catching on!
December 9th, 2023 at 5:42 PM ^
A bit of Mr Brightside too…
Much respect for those committed to serving our country.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:43 PM ^
Are any of these players involved with NIL deals?
Might General Dynamics offer an NIL deal to those who might be involved with the fine Abrams in the future?
December 9th, 2023 at 5:51 PM ^
Unfortunately the Pentagon doesn't allow service academy players to participate in NIL deals.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:00 PM ^
Navy needs to keep throwing it. Man I love college football.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:02 PM ^
Bless all of these guys, but this game is making Iowa-Rutgers look like a Big 12 shootout.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
That’s game
December 9th, 2023 at 6:08 PM ^
That should do it. Penalties killing Navy today. Putting them in uncomfortable positions for their anemic office.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:11 PM ^
Not too good, is it Chief?…
December 9th, 2023 at 6:14 PM ^
The analytics nerds say you should go for two in this scenario.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:26 PM ^
Well this got interesting.
December 9th, 2023 at 6:28 PM ^
Rooting for Navy to pull this off for ya!
