I never understood why dad quit his job as an itinerant Tolkien novel scene painter.

why a '290 van' you ask? in california sex offenders must register pursuant to california penal code section 290. and the only guys who drive those things are what we called '290 regs', meaning guys who sex offender registers.
November 30th, 2015 at 4:33 PM ^
I thought those vans were always just plain white vans..........
November 30th, 2015 at 5:53 PM ^
Yeah, I gues driving that van is a just another way of registering as a sex offender.

In more ways than one. There's the obvious-- i.e., that they have chosen to represent our country and put their lives on the line in exchange for their schooling. Then there's also the fact that it's incredibly difficult to gain acceptance to either West Point or Annapolis. As in, I dare say harder to get in to than Harvard or Yale; if not, it's damn close. So they're winners in attitude/beliefs, and winners in aptitude as well. Impressive, to say the least.

Go Army! Beat Navy!
I have no ties to either school besides that I always chose to rebuild Army into a powerhouse in the NCAA video games. That being said, I get wayyy wrapped up into this game. Hurts almost as much as the Michigan streak against OSU....

Air craft carriers, subs and destroyers, etc. - different by position group.
Anchors away....

Yes. Awesome. I'm not surprised that there is not one Gator Freighter in that picture. The antiquated (and decommissioned) amphib boat I was on would not look quite as nice as those beauties do.
Go Navy! Beat Army!

We had helmets with subs. It was crazy.

Game isn't this weekend, but next. Army-Navy always plays on the Saturday after conference championships (same day as the Heisman Ceremony).

Thanks, updated.

hate to see those all dinged up. Still are mediocre compared to ours.
November 30th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
Want to keep the faith, but we are gonna need more than a fancy paint job on our helmets to beat the Middies. My suggestion:

If you ever wanted to discourage helmet-to-helmet contact or anything that even sniffs of targeting, that would be the way to do it. Surprised more teams don't adopt this in retaliation (or perhaps to mitigate the risk of being flagged) for so many awful calls throughout the season.

Almost went to West Point, what a beatiful campus. Other than that I have no ties, would just love to see Army be respectable again.
November 30th, 2015 at 4:35 PM ^
November 30th, 2015 at 5:14 PM ^
Nope, just West Point. Not sure why I didn't at least explore the other academies, just didn't.

Those are the coolest looking uniforms I remember seeing in my lifetime! Now, I really like UM's unis, but these are sweet! I would love to see Army match them.
November 30th, 2015 at 4:52 PM ^
Dang it... I was hoping they would be rocking these:

Hopefully Monken can get this team turned around. This year (as most have been lately) was painful to watch.

are pretty cool.
November 30th, 2015 at 6:37 PM ^
but the fans in the stands and the TV audience won't be able to discern the details unless they're within 5 yards.

Uncle Rico would be proud to wear that helmet. If one he had it that one time at state...

It wasn't always that way.
I remember watching Gordie Lockbaum and Holy Cross play West Point in Michie Stadium. I looked down at the Army team and staff on the sideline - everyone was in white, black, a bit of gold, and gray - lots and lots of gray. At that moment I wondered if Holy Cross looked across the field and realized they were essentially playing the Federal Government?
