Today's Slice of Americana - Sports
... the Army - Navy Game ...
... the Army - Navy Game ...
First played in 1890, today's Army - Navy game is the 119th meeting between these teams. If Army wins, they get the Commander-in-Chief Trophy for the 3rd year in a row. If Navy wins - all hell breaks loose ;) between the Army and the Air Force ... No, actually, if Army loses it will still retain the trophy because in a 3-way the current trophy-holders keeps it.
Watch last year's game broadcast introduction (below) to get a taste of what this game is really about ...
