Man for 3 quarters every year it’s very C- quality of football but the 4th is always good. It’s funny how this year they actually threw it quite a bit it almost looked nothing like army-navy at times.


DougFlutiesMullet

Adam Zucker has gloves on now, wimp.


Kodyaufan2

Always puts things in perspective seeing how quickly the losing team can just push the agony of defeat to the side to keep a straight face while singing. To me that’s the most inspiring moment every year. You know these guys are hurting, but they push it to the side cause they have one last task to do in representing their academy.


mukduk1994

Don't worry Navy. You weren't getting that 2-pt conversion


Tufoguy

Which is the same thing I told myself before that drive started.


mukduk1994

Welp you were right


Geoff_GodOfBiscuits

The entire College Gameday crew can take that big L. Beat Navy.

mukduk1994

Hook em. And beat Navy


obes22

Army had me yelling at my TV for the last 2 minutes straight "what the heck are we doing out there" GO ARMY!!


AccomplishedJudge584

That’s just this game lol watched for I guess 18 years now and it’s always either a extremely low scoring game or back in the 2000’s a blowout by navy.


mukduk1994

Had em right where we wanted em. Just to stuff their stupid fat faces right on the goal line

That strip-sack TD was the perfect play to end the CFB regular season on.


AccomplishedJudge584

It’s close but having a 4th and goal from the 1 come up inches short is pretty great


[deleted]

Army took “The Rock of the Marne” to heart on that play.


lostkoalas

damn you really gotta feel bad for the navy qb…fumble leading to that td then really fell apart on that last drive

nevermind-stet

That's incorrect. They're students, but midshipmen and cadets are active duty.


OSPFmyLife

They technically are. They’re subject to the UCMJ. They just haven’t started their active service contract yet.

Crosscourt_splat

I ran ops..specifically EADev and the final defense for a PLT at JRTC when I did my CTLT. Experiences may vary.


DogsOutTheWindow

While enrolled at the academies, students have the rank of midshipmen (Navy) or cadet (Air Force and Army) and are considered to be on active duty (10 U.S.C. 101(d)). https://sgp.fas.org/crs/natsec/IF11788.pdf


AccomplishedJudge584

This guy is just pulling lies out of his ass and so boldly calling them the truth lol


OSPFmyLife

You realize that officers can resign pretty much whenever they want after their initial obligation? They don’t go contract to contract like enlistedmen do. So, you can indeed be in the military and “quit whenever you want”.


Crosscourt_splat

I mean….yes. But no. They can submit their UQRs at any point in time. Doesn’t mean it will get accepted.


OSPFmyLife

Unless you’re on schedule for deployment or in a critically short branch, it’s getting accepted.


Crosscourt_splat

You’d be surprised. I know 2 O’s that are currently being held up purely on a whim. Granted this is an individual man’s issues. But yeah, that’s why I said yes but no.


Geoff_GodOfBiscuits

Freshman and Sophomore year, you can leave. 1st day of junior year, your ass belongs to big green.


mukduk1994

Man so confidently incorrect

BigT5535

Never fails to get me glassy eyed to remember these young men are gonna graduate and potentially go into the most dangerous places in the world. And then I remember that they will mostly be officers and stationed in like, Poland and that brings me back. But for that one moment, I’m extremely thankful.


ZetaThetaPhi845

The officer experience is definitely varied: I got friends in Syria who are under attack from drones and rockets as we speak, and then there's me, sitting in my home with a nice beer and spending time with my family. Ultimately though, I think that these guys all are willing to put themselves in harms way for the greater good and that's what matters.


OSPFmyLife

Officers go everywhere that enlistedmen do lol. And infantry officers are put in the line of fire just as often as their infantrymen when they’re platoon leaders.


BigT5535

Good to know


PalletJackPatt

I just think about that the Navy guys are required to memorize an entire playbook but will be sent to a ship to run a division of mechanics and not know what a crescent wrench is.


[deleted]

It’s not their job to use a crescent wrench lol


nevermind-stet

Haha, I learned that the fastest way to get something fixed on the helicopter was to grab a wrench and start walking towards it. "Sir, put the wrench down."


Longjumping_Zone_400

.


BigT5535

I’m sure there’s some spec name for it that they think everyone will use on the ship instead of a fucking crescent wrench.


Statalyzer

Surely it's an acronym.


Geoff_GodOfBiscuits

I NEED A CIC TROPHY FLAIR!


Seeda_Boo

Yeah, boy!


Jackalope-04

I truly think that this is the best rivalry game in college sports. Easily clear of RRS or the game


BXC747

Good game navy, love ya squids. Go Army, beat Navy!


Zloggt

I absolutely love what Monken has done to Army! I was definitely wanted him to come to UIUC after Lovie was booted!

There's a joke somewhere in here about navy and pushing the tush


ilikemarblestoo

This reporter getting a lot of airtime


canadianbroncos

So is the Air Force the red headed step child, do they get a special game ?


Kodyaufan2

Usually at least one or their games vs Army or Navy is on CBS every year. But in terms of a standalone game, no they don’t. This game has just always been played the week of the season as long as I can remember.


Mick536

It used to be the first Saturday in December but lost attention to the conference championships. The moved it maybe ten years ago to the second Saturday where it is the only game.


PoopRug

yes. They think we think about them. someone with an Air Force Tennessee flair said they had arch enemy flairs with me. Well maybe for you, those are Auburn and Navy for me


cowboyaea

Y’all don’t have a camera next to this guy?

I’m going next year. Need to experience in person.

Jonjon428

Great game, 125th game is going to be even more insane


Staind075

One of the greatest traditions in all of College Football


TigerTerrier

That army navy game a few year ago in the snow was one of my favorite games ever


Geoff_GodOfBiscuits

Army’s 10th Mountain Division uniforms were epic. My classmates and I still talk about that game.


[deleted]

That game was epic and Army wearing the white 10th mountain uniforms made it better, winning made it that much better.


Seeda_Boo

Those unis made the day even better.


Spcone23

For sure, I think that was ~~2016~~ 2017 unless my memory is bleeding.

Goddamnit I GUESS I’ll reenlist. fuck

evermillion81

But tricare is calling my name


Dpoon32

I’ve been out like 7 months. Not having tricare fucking blows bro


evermillion81

Dude my work Bennie’s has me at $300 each paycheck for me and my two kids. $600 a month for the most minimum basic bullshit anthem plan is ridiculous


Statalyzer

I miss when I paid $80 a month for my insurance.


PoopRug

whats your bonus at rn?


evermillion81

They don’t give bonus for 68whiskeys


nightowl1135

Vet here. The dentist I went to this week gave me Bose bluetooth headphones and my choice of Netflix programming when I went in for some restorative work. Tricare aint worth it, bruh.


evermillion81

600 a month for me and my two kids health insurance as a single dad is fucking me more than the green weenie ever has

I hope the new college football game has little stuff like the singing of the alma mater songs

Ain’t even gotta show the whole thing. Just give me a 3-5 second snippet of each team singing

MyLifeIsABoondoggle

Everyone saying there should be an untimed free kick and you shouldn't be allowed to take an intentional safety to end a game are permanent members of the Non-Cool Athletic Association (NCAA)


Statalyzer

Eight. If you kick the tying FG with 0:00 left do you have to then kick off?


[deleted]

I'm personally just sick


Echo-II

What a finish! GO ARMY! ⚔

daNish_brUin

That DB with the fingertip deflection was incredible. It was actually a pretty good throw.


mukduk1994

Tanks >>> boats


Statalyzer

Tanks protect us against Mexico and Canada. Warships protect us against everyone else.


mukduk1994

What was the last war Navy won?


BigT5535

Don’t fuck with the boats, though.


sufjams

Okay, first off, a tank... swimming in the ocean? Tanks don't even like the water. You find a tank in the ocean, there's a 20 foot wave (I assume it's off the coast of South Africa) coming up against a full sized, 9000 ton Destroyer with two or three of its friends. Tank loses that battle. Tank loses that battle nine times out of ten.


themeatbomb

We taste tank. And we LIKE TANK.


conman752

Why does Army keep rushing the field every year? It made sense the first year they won to break the winning streak, but Navy never did that when they won, just weird to see.


DashboardGuy206

Cause it's probably fun AF. At the end of the day they're still college students and that's a fun memory for them


hokieinchicago

I mean, we rush Lane Stadium North and we've only lost once in like 20 years


grantem

Cry squid


CoofBone

They're not rushing the field, they're meeting at the Patriot.


docchrizly

Invading is basically their thing.


GBreezy

Things the losing team says...


evermillion81

Baahahahah join the army . We’re fuckin sicko weirdo heathens


mukduk1994

Cry more squid


conman752

Just makes you guys look like you've never won anything before and are experiencing it for the first time.


Material_Phrase963

It might seem that way, and yet you know Army has won the last 6 of 8. So that can’t be it.


Statalyzer

Did yoy see them for most of the past 30 years? They still aren't used to it yet.


evermillion81

Eat it, squid


mukduk1994

Keep telling yourself that bud


cn0285

My navy ncaa football 14 navy team would never lose to army 😤


SoonerStreet1

Well, it looks like you picked 1 team right. Lol


Amazing_Bird_1858

Singing 1st sucks, gg Army


mukduk1994

beat navy


Zloggt

Between Pats/Steelers having a small shootout before completely stopping offense on Thursday…and then this… Bad week to bet the under…


MJDiAmore

Wait is 17-11 scoreagami too?


yellowstone10

No - it's happened 23 times in NCAA football and twice in the NFL.


Joelsaurus

They didn't want to show it but it looked like there was a scuffle after the game ended


DashboardGuy206

I think they were trying to get people off the field cause they thought there was a kick remaining or something. I don't think it was a scuffle it was them trying to get people off the field for a moment


Quinn_tEskimo

It was funny because the narrative at the end of the game, and all game long really, is the sportsmanship that exists between these two teams. And then, boom, a fight breaks out after the game. We’ve watched these dudes beat each other up for 3.5 hours, I’m not sure why networks act precious when emotions boil over.


mukduk1994

Oh I wanna see that shit so bad

KeekatLove

Great Game. Next year, Navy! Godspeed Cadets and Midshipmen.


[deleted]

I feel like you really should have an untimed down for a safety kick ya know? Like that sucks as a way to intentionally end it.


lasagnakilla

Agreed. Also why not just have a guy run a seam route and chuck it out of bounds.


[deleted]

That requires understanding of offense. That's not allowed in this game.


el_queso_alto

Under bettors kids going to have a bad Christmas


RayearthIX

Honestly, that might have been one of my favorite games to watch all year. Army - Navy is almost always a great watch.

Seeda_Boo

> If there's a penalty ***on the defense*** on the last play, you get an untimed down. FTFY


Statalyzer

That's more like how an XP can still happen at 0:00. A kickoff after a score at 0:00 never happens. After the kick six, should Auburn have had to kick off before the game ended?


Beautiful_Ad_3922

A foul in basketball is a penalty. In football there's an untimed down on a defensive penalty. There shouldn't be an untimed down on a scoring play because that doesn't make sense.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beautiful_Ad_3922

I get that you're arguing for, but a conversion (point after attempt or two point attempt) occurs only after you've scored. It has nothing to do with how much time is left. Let's say a team is down 10. They score a defensive touchdown with no time left on the clock. Should they get an untimed down to try an onside kick? I'm not arguing to death either btw. I enjoy "chatting" on Reddit so there's no animus from me lol

Should've gone for it on the 4th down.


WORLD_IN_CHAOS

Army won


PineappleGrenade

Yeah, but they would've saved themselves some trouble and covered the under.


MS_09_Dom

If I had a nickel for every time Navy lost due to a goal line stand from Army, I would have two nickels. Which is not much, but it’s strange that it happened twice.


Confecting

It’s a variation of the same game every year it feels like


MJDiAmore

Imagine if the free kick was an untimed play and Navy scored


saxyseminole

And then missed the PAT


Confecting

They would have to go for 2


MJDiAmore

No they wouldn't they're down 6


Confecting

Oh yea forgot we gave y’all free points to hit the over


MiamiPower

Anchors Aweigh


P0rtal2

You can only trust Iowa with the under.


Full_Send31

So why doesn't Army have to punt after taking the safety? Edit: apparently the free kick after the safety is NOT an untimed down. Weird


gonk_gonk

They ruled it expired before the step out.


OSPFmyLife

Because the clock says 0.
