If you're referring to the large mass of gray on one side and the large mass of navy blue on the other, those are the cadets and middies. There might be active-duty types elsewhere.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:18 PM ^
send Cadets/Midshipmen to the game. The big blocks of uniforms you're seeing are current academy students (they wear different uniforms than standard Army or Navy/Marine Corps). Random people in the stands in uniform would presumably be regular active duty troops.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
Thanks. I knew they're not wearing normal military uniforms, but I was wondering if some of them were simply graduates wearing their old uniforms for the occasion, or if they were all students.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:24 PM ^
No active-duty officer would be caught dead in his cadet/middie stuff. Against regs and highly unprofessional.
edit: a Navy officer could get away with it because the Navy uniforms are the same, just with different insignia. Can't say for sure but I think the gray Army coats are cadet-only.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:27 PM ^
Air Force and Naval Academies wear regulation uniforms for the most part. West Points are completely different from Active Duty Army. Echo the point about active duty officers not being caught dead in cadet gear, just would never happen.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:18 PM ^
Wow Army should have been throwing all game
December 8th, 2012 at 6:18 PM ^
Come on Army you can do this!!
December 8th, 2012 at 6:18 PM ^
Great game!
December 8th, 2012 at 6:19 PM ^
/facepalm....
December 8th, 2012 at 6:19 PM ^
OMG Army...
December 8th, 2012 at 6:20 PM ^
This is excrutiating for Army fans. Soooo close to breaking the last few plays...
December 8th, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
jeez feel bad for the army team.
Glad for the hometown Middies, but what a terrible way to lose.
That being said, 12 years in a row!
December 8th, 2012 at 6:20 PM ^
Oh man. I mean, go Navy, but that just sucks.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:21 PM ^
What a cryin shame. I was really pulling for the Black Knights.
And what's worse is we have to listen to Danielson pontificate. That guy could mess up a train wreck.

Bahahahahaha
December 8th, 2012 at 6:24 PM ^
Oh that's funny.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
What a shame. This game was headed for an incredible finish.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
That's just a terrible way to end the game. Terrible, terrible terrible.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:24 PM ^
Damn! Someone needs to find the voodoo doll that Navy has been using and burn it. At some point Navy's luck has to run out.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:25 PM ^
Gotta feel for Steelman and it's going to be tough to beat Navy in the next few years with that young QB they have.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:25 PM ^
Damn.....I don't have any ties to either Army or Navy, but I wanted Army to win. A 10 year drought is too long for one of the greatest rivalries in football.
Army beat itself tonight. They had opportunities but just couldn't capitalize. Its unfortunate, but that's football.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:28 PM ^
Yea, they'd have been lining up for the winning kick had they not missed the one on their previous possession.
I don't have any ties either but I feel horrible for Army's QB.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:29 PM ^
This all being said, I'm dying to go to an Army-Navy game with my Dad one year. The tradition and pageantry of this game is unparalleled. Does anyone know from previous experience how easy it is to get tickets, or more importantly, how expensive it is?
December 8th, 2012 at 6:29 PM ^
Boy, I hope CBS doesn't go and try and find Steelman for an interview. It seems like the sort of dick thing a network would do.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:30 PM ^
Geeze they could have left the camera off the kid for a second at least.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:31 PM ^
wow the speaker at the linc is awful
December 8th, 2012 at 6:30 PM ^
heart breaker of a way to lose. That ball was never even in his RB's hands. God forbid Army to have a little luck at the end. Tough loss. Another year Navy wins. Steelman will have this in his head for the rest of his life. Damn...
December 8th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
3 years in a row we beat ourselves. Embarrassing.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
CBS needs to stop showing Steelman every 10seconds. The dude is obviously taking it hard, stop showing it on national tv.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:36 PM ^
for God sake. He's already in his own hell. I cant stand when a camera crew does this shit.
December 8th, 2012 at 6:33 PM ^
Dang... I wanted Army to break the streak. Truely a crappy way to lose the game. Really felt like Army had the momentum and were gonna score that last drive until they fumbled. Can't fumble the ball that much...
December 8th, 2012 at 6:43 PM ^
Heartache for Army ( I was rooting for them), but one can't deny that those who tuned in witnessed a classic CFB battle.
Next up, Bowl season!
December 8th, 2012 at 7:32 PM ^
11 in a row! Go Mids!
