Army-Navy in a Snowstorm: Must See TV. (Open Thread)
I figured I'd turn on Army-Navy because the game is legitimately in question this year and there's not much else to do and it's Army-Navy.
Turns out it will be played in a driving snowstorm.
Football is a great sport for many reasons. One of those reasons is that it is a game for all seasons. Other sports have a set range of acceptable conditions; football will play in all of them. And it will look spectacular.
This is going to be awesome.

I really enjoyed watching the Argos win the Grey Cup in a blizzard. The more snow games, the better! Go Army!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:41 PM ^
Triple option snowstorm. I'm in.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:42 PM ^
"game for all seasons".
I think quite a few schools below certain latitudes...would beg to differ!
Pretty pumped to watch this though while getting the Christmas tree up this afternoon!
December 9th, 2017 at 4:58 PM ^
Will stop a football game. Jus sayin
December 9th, 2017 at 2:41 PM ^
Aint nobody gonna throw in this game anyhow. Ball security might decide the game - hold on to the ball! Good pitches! GO ARMY!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
The rivalry to which all others aspire, IMO. Go Navy, beat Army.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:47 PM ^
Double post, my bad.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:48 PM ^
Wow that reporter could've found a different word in that interview, IMO.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:51 PM ^
What did he say?
December 9th, 2017 at 2:56 PM ^
She didn't mean anything bad, but dang. I'd prefer not to repeat. I shouldn't have posted that.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:57 PM ^
“I know he’s dying to be here.”
December 9th, 2017 at 3:15 PM ^
Was that in the interview with the Navy coach, about his son - the one waiting for a heart transplant? Good Gawd, have some situational awareness!!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:26 PM ^
Yeah it was! She obviously wasn’t meaning that in the wrong way, but yeah you gotta know your situation.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:34 PM ^
I'm sure she'd feel horrible if she knew she hurt them in any way.

Go Army! Beat Navy!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:53 PM ^
The story about Ivin Jasper's son.....someone was cutting onions nearby, I am fairly certain.
Good to hear that he's home now after all that.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:55 PM ^
Heart wrenching story.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:54 PM ^
Is what college football is all about. I go for Navy because of my grandfather.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:55 PM ^
That army LB with a 4.0 in ChemE ... wow that is some serious stuff.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:56 PM ^
Scoring on a safety and recovering a blocked punt in the end zone. They will not gain a first down and will have all nine pass attempts fall incomplete.
A precedent has been set for this event to occur in the snow.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:01 PM ^
And I like it.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:00 PM ^
Gotta go with my Navy compatriots. GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!!!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:03 PM ^
and it’s been awesome! Army and Navy supporters everywhere. It’s snowing like crazy!! Big heavy flakes.
Everyone we’ve met that’s here for the game has been first class!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:05 PM ^
Army’s won multiple games this year without attempting a single pass, this weather should play right into their hands.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:07 PM ^
Damn it. I have band practice in an hour. I love watching football in the snow!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:09 PM ^
I love every Michigan games but this game is one I would never want to miss and to all the Mgo veterans thank you forever things!!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:09 PM ^
My dirty secret: I have always been a mark for this CBS college football music since it rolled out 26 or so years ago.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
Sorry, man, but I'm on the other side. Shut it off when the teams take the field. I'd rather hear marching bands.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:09 PM ^
Dear CBS:
SHUT YOUR FUCKING PREGAME MUSIC OFF WHEN THE TEAMS TAKE THE FIELD!!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
Those Navy uniforms are pretty sweet. Army being all tactical and shit.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
Not sold on the powder blue hats. Get that AF stuff outta this game!!!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:26 PM ^
Ya those helmets look terrible. I'm not really a fan of Army's uniforms this game either though. I wish they had stuck to more traditional uniforms.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:43 PM ^
Perfect uniform for the conditions.
Right place
Right time
Right uniform
December 9th, 2017 at 3:11 PM ^
White uniforms in a snow storm. This oughta be good.
December 9th, 2017 at 4:05 PM ^
If anybody knows how to do the right camo for the right occasion, it's the Army.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
I guess it’s a good thing for Army that they don’t throw the ball much. Trying to throw to guys in all white unis in a snowstorm just can’t go over very well.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:22 PM ^
for the PSU white out. Alas. Maybe we should have tried for the cloak of invisibility.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:31 PM ^
Nothing would’ve saved us in that game. PSU was out for blood after getting humiliated last season.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
this game hasnt even started in forever but it’s already epic looking
December 9th, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
Maybe Jimmy will get some inspiration here.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:24 PM ^
Can we watch this game one day without those SEC assclowns especially that BIG traitor Danielson
December 9th, 2017 at 3:38 PM ^
Not until at least 2029 because cbs has it under contract until 2028.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:25 PM ^
Will not play in any condition. Lighting.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:27 PM ^
I did not need to post that. My apologies. This is why I don't do social media.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:32 PM ^
This game is awesome! The Navy QB can take a hit, now...
December 9th, 2017 at 3:34 PM ^
This. Is. Fun.
I love this game so much.
GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
One commercial for an entire quarter? Not on our watch!!
