Army-Navy

West Point vs. Annapolis

Though ordinarily played at a neutral site somewhere between the two academies — Philadelphia, in most cases — the Black Knights and Midshipmen will meet in Michie Stadium (below) on the campus of the United States Military Academy today for the first time since November 27, 1943.

This is what college football is all about.

This is what America is all about.

They represent the best of us.

There’s a lot of military in my family, and Navy in particular, so this is my personal Super Bowl. Of all the rivalries and ambiance that engenders my endless appreciation for college football, this is the game I love most.

Little else needs to be said.

(Go Navy.)
