No College Football? Oh Wait, There's A Game, And It Actually Means Something! [Army-Navy Live Thread]

That game also depends on which Navy offense shows up.  If it's the one that won eight games, then Mizzou is in trouble.  If it's the one that showed up for the first half of this game, then Navy's in trouble.

If Mizzou's offense shows up that game, it should actually be intriguing to watch.

Navy triumphs over Army 17-3 for their eighth straight victory.  Navy's next game is in the Texas Bowl against Missouri.  Army's season is over.

 Last song to sing:

NAVY BLUE AND GOLD!!!!!!


GO NAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game was actually closer than I'm used to.

 Tipped and picked off in the end zone...well Army got the ball into the end zone, just their guy didn't catch it.  Goodnight, Army.

 Well maybe it's not quite over, question is can Army actually get it into the end zone.

It's a shame Army took this long to figure out what offense works: Throw to the 6'10" guy.

Dobbs gets the rushing TD record for QBs over Tebow, WOOHOO!  That's the nail in the coffin (captain obvious)

Navy now leads 17-3 with 6:15 left in the game.  Ricky Dobbs now stands alone as the rushing TD leader.

TD Navy, 17-3.

TOUCHDOWN NAVY!

Absolutely! ROFL!

Never mind that never mind?

 Well, game's over with that fumble.

 Army got it right back though, let's see if they can actually do something with it this time.

Never mind that...

I second that.  If Navy keeps running the ball like they have been, Navy will walk away with a win.

By far Army's best drive, and can't get anything out of it. I have to think that's the ball game with how Navy's been playing this 2nd half.

 Oh man, that was a pitiful kick.

Nice recovery for the big man.

Finally getting the ball, damn he's a beast.

Three quarters down, one to go.  Navy leads 10-3.

End of the 3rd, Navy up 10-3.

Thanks to a FG, Navy now leads 10-3 with :11 seconds left in the 3rd.

Looks like it indeed. Good stop here though to hold em to a FG attempt, but another really nice 12-play drive there.

Yep; that's the way it was in the past. The $EC and Big XII decided they wanted to have their games as the last games of the season as well.  Thankfully, Army/Navy was given their game back.

Navy looks like they're finally breaking down Army's defense.

For once I actually agree with Gary Danielson.... Army/Navy is the perfect game to end the regular season for college football

Navy has their first lead of the game. The score in the 3rd, 7-3 Navy.

Wide open, TD Marcus Curry. 6-3 Navy pending PAT.

 Touchdown Navy.

Navy has a good drive going now, that completion on 4th and short helped.

4th and inches, Navy goes for it and makes it. 1st and 10 inside the 30. Good opening drive.

I heard him on The Dan Patrick Show, and he really seems like a humble guy.

That being said, if I'm a fan of either Texas or Alabama-Tuscaloosa, I want someone else to win the Heisman.  After all, Heisman Trophy winners don't have the best of luck when it comes to "National Championship" games.

I refuse to watch a 3-0 game

First time I'm really listening to Suh, for being the biggest & baddest dude up there, he sure does seem to be the shyest.

It's especially ugly for me, with Navy losing at the half.

Army takes a knee to end the half.

3-0 Army. Ugly game so far.

 You had to bring up Pitt/Oregon St, didn't you, Verne?

You'll have to get Charlie Weis coaching Army for that to happen.

Some ugly punts on Army's side. Jeez.

Great defensive stop by Navy to force the punt!

I'm waiting on the Navy who beat Notre Dame to show up and displace the Navy who lost four games this season.

Lol, Good point.

Well, four college guys and Our Lord and Savior Tim Tebow.

Two really big plays for Navy that have both been brought back thanks to penalty. 58 and 34 yard plays nullified.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think Army wanted to win this game. Navy is really playing sloppy right now.

I guess not. It is pretty nice for CBS to have all 5 finalists in studio though. I hope it'll actually be just joking around among college guys and not just the "So who do you think should win?"

He just couldn't resist it, could he?

Thanks

3-0 Army 5:20 left in the 2nd.

Navy ball on their own 40.

Gary with a joke on himself on Mr. Tebow, he may be sickening, but at least he knows he's sickening.

 Villanueva is 6'10?!  Holy crap, don't think there's ever been a taller WR.

James, what is the score and quarter.

Navy.... 100 sailors go to sea, 50 happy couples return...

Go Army!

That is correct about the Navy unis.

Go army

I don't know about running up the middle, especially since it ain't working too well.

Anyone know why the Navy uniforms have red on them? I'm thinking its because of the Marine Corps, but not sure... And why isn't the Army wearing the camo they wore last year?

Army guy here and i think Navy is going to be the hell out of us!

Yikes, first down for Army, and QB bobbled the snap. Still recovered it though.

Navy turns the ball over on a fumble. Army ball.

Now a Navy fumble at about midfield. Army ball.

Army's got Navy bottled up so far.

Army's first lead since the 1st quarter of 2006. Umm, yikes.

Army unable to capitalize completely, but do make the FG to make it 3-0.

Yea, it was on first down I guess to try and catch them off-guard. They just happened to catch on pretty well.

Why was Navy passing? They're not good at it. Just stop.

INT by Army inside the red zone.

Army read the third down play from the beginning. Navy to punt the ball away.

Navy picks up their first 1st down of the game.

And the field goal issssssssssssss............NO GOOD!  Still scoreless in the 1st.

Army's got a good drive going on.

Really? They did a Men Who Stare at Goats spoof?

Three-and-out for Navy. Defensive struggle early on...

Three-and-out for Army. Navy ball coming up.

Great way to start the game...if you're an Army fan, that is.

As usual, i will be in front of my TV, as an ex-Navy man, and  am rooting on the US Naval Academy.


 GO NAVY.! BEAT ARMY.!

I'm right there with you, shipmate.

GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

As usual, i will be in front of my TV, as an ex-Navy man, and  am rooting on the US Naval Academy.


 GO NAVY.! BEAT ARMY.!

The Division 2 championship is also going on, Grand Valley State and Northwestern Missouri State.  College Football with a real champion...what a strange concept.
