The greatest week of the entire college football season has arrived! (anyone who disagrees or says otherwise can stuff it!)
After getting through all that garbage on the football field yesterday, it is Army-Navy Week at last!
The Prize
To get this thing started off right... GO NAVY!
For you landlubbers, it says "Beat Army" in nautical flags. That is Navy's game ball for Saturday.
Game Day!
GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
Hopefully, I get to watch this.

A Saturday without GameDay... This just doesn't feel right.
I guess it was just asking too much to make a trip to Philadelphia for only one of the most storied rivalries in all of college football (and on a day that it is ENTIRELY by itself as far as FBS games).
They're all probably at the Downtown Touchdown Club or whatever it's called.Originally Posted by SmoothPancakes

Game on.
Normally I would defend them, but they otherwise only showed SportsCenter. And while having only Army-Navy means the number of topics to talk about was incredibly reduced, they could have at least done a half hour or hour Gameday from Philly. Talked about the FCS tournament, maybe. Since they had an FCS playoff game at noon at that ...

Hey Smooth, the Game of Honor DVD is on Walmart.com, but it's out of stock (my guess is that it's never been in stock), and I don't see it anywhere else. Strange.
It just hit me ... there's part of me that wishes the game had been yesterday, but at the same time ... I'm extremely glad it wasn't. That would be a surreal anniversary.

Yeah, it didn't have to be multiple hours long or something, but they certainly could have done something. Even though it'd be reduced topics, like you said, they had the FCS playoffs, and there are always tons of topics to talk about with Army-Navy. CBS College Sports had stuff going from noon to 2:30pm of nothing but Army-Navy and previewing the game, and then CBS picked it up at 2:30 and has carried it right into the kickoff here. So if CBS and CBS College Sports were able to manage 3 hours of stuff to air, certainly College GameDay could have managed at least an hour to an hour and a half (especially if you include the FCS playoffs).
Yeah, I found out about it on, I think it was Wednesday afternoon. The local Walmart here in town had it in stock on their New Releases shelf, so I have the DVD in my possession.
And yeah, that definitely would have surreal to have had it fall like that. Depending on how the season and the schedule shakes out next year, Army-Navy may fall on Saturday, December 7th next year though.
And we're off and running!
Go Navy! Beat Army! Sing Second!
FEAR THE GOAT!!!
Right, but CBS has incentive to run 3 hours worth of stuff. They've also had the access to the schools necessary for that. But ESPN definitely could have done something.
Only Verne would be old enough to screw up and call Army the "Cadets".

Yeah, all good points. Why ESPN never did anything, none of us truly know. At least in that regard, thanks to CBS Sports having coverage since noon, including the March On of both Army and Navy live on TV. That is always a great sight to see and I love seeing it finally getting recognition on TV.
And I must have missed that. Leave it to Verne though.
God I love watching the triple option.
Even though I've got the DVD from Walmart, I did some searching for the hell of it, Amazon has A Game of Honor available for $7.99 on Amazon Instant Video. What the hell, I've got $15 of Amazon Instant Video credits built up, so it was free after the credit discount. So now I have A Game of Honor on DVD and I can also watch it anytime I want on my PC, my 360 or online on Amazon.
Shit. 10-10 tie at the half. I don't care what the records are. Army could be 0-11, it wouldn't matter, they are still a very dangerous team in this game. Navy needs to whoop some ass come the second half. If Army's within 10 points of Navy heading into the finals minutes of the game, Navy and their 10 game winning streak over Army could be in trouble.
It was actually released? Wow, for some reason I didn't think it was. Maybe you told me that but, if you did, I obviously forgot. I may have to keep watch on that page to see if it comes available again. Or I may just download it from Amazon tonight onto my PS3

Yeah, it was actually released. They had a stock of 4 or 5 on the New Releases shelf at the Walmart here in town. If you have a Walmart there where you're at, they may have some still on the shelves, even though Walmart.com is saying out of stock. Or yeah, Amazon is also a route to go now that it's finally started showing up on Amazon, at least on Amazon Instant Video, still nothing showing up in Amazon Blu-rays and DVDs.It was actually released?

Navy 17, Army 13! 11 wins in a row for Navy!
Third straight year that Army outgains Navy. At least the second year that Army can't hold onto the ball and it costs them.
