The game is underway with Army taking an early 7 - 0 lead.
I am forecasting an Army victory to make it only the second time in over 20 years that Army has won two years in a row.
When I saw the snow falling on the field, I felt confident that Army would have the advantage. After all, Army is tougher than Navy. Its living conditions on the West Bank of the Hudson gives them better preparation for that environment—Army Tough.
Go Army, beat Navy. Pixie

I am watching the game but am neutral. Although Pixie , that was a fine run by the Navy player that led to Navy's touchdown  |

Whew. But I never doubted my original prediction.

Fellow agents and I viewed game from our secret underground HQ. I’m leaving the building now, but there are a lot of doors to get through before I get to the phone booth exit. I hope that phone booth is still there!

I think we're all forgetting that Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon) was the one with the sense. It's Max (Agent 86) who had the shoe phone and insisted on using the Cone of Silence.
I had no skin in the game, even though I'm a retired Naval officer. I did not attend the academy. I do believe the apocalypse is nigh, however, as the Military Academy has beaten the Naval Academy two years running, the same streak that Yale maintains over Harvard on both the gridiron and the Thames River.
Respectfully, Tom B

Respectfully, Tom B I wouldn't worry about the apocalypse too much. I mean until last year Navy had beaten The Military Academy for the last 14 years, I think it was. I mean, even Roger Staubach (a Naval Academy Graduate) said it was time for The Military Academy to win one. He didn't say that again this year, however. Go Army. Duty, Honor, Country, Pixie |

Not only did we beat Navy, but we picked up the CIC Trophy for the first time in 24 years. Not bad.

Congratulations to the Black Knights. A career (Reserve) officer myself, I have had many issues with ring knockers over the years, but we handle those internally. For this game, "One team, one fight" applies.

Sorry, I need to go to remedial posting school.
I was not worried so much about USMA's streak in proving the apocalypse as I was about the Bulldogs'. That is a streak that is truly upsetting to me and should be to any current Crimson athlete.

Congratulations to the Black Knights. A career (Reserve) officer myself, I have had many issues with ring knockers over the years, but we handle those internally. For this game, "One team, one fight" applies. When I was in private practice thinking of trying for a JAG billet, I ran across a "ring knocker" from the Naval Academy at the Milwaukee MEPS center. I was just trying to get an application for JAG, and this Commander (or was it Lieutenant Commander?) wouldn't give it to me until he saw my law school transcripts. He was openly questioning my educational credentials and was was literally hitting his academy ring on his desk as he was telling me I might not be qualified enough for the Navy to even consider!! I saw a picture of a ship on the wall behind him and asked him about it, and he told me it was the USS California (if I remember correctly) a heavy cruiser on which he was just recently the executive officer. He was too pleased with himself and wouldn't relent on the application, so I took a walk. I went to the army recruiter at the MEPS center who told me I could enlist immediately and I would be diverted from basic training to OTS once they found out I was a lawyer and JAG candidate. My brother was a paralegal in the Army and I'm not a total idiot, so I took a walk. I went to the air force recruiter who stated he had no idea what to do with someone who wanted to be a JAG - but gave me a toll free number to call. I called - applied - was selected - and retired in January 2014. I sometimes thought of my run-in with the ring knocker, but after a short while in the air force I came to a realization. How bad do you have to screw up to go from being an academy grad and XO on a heavy cruiser to getting assigned to a MEPS center in Milwaukee!?! Anyway - congrats Army for winning the CINC Trophy! Apparently this was a rebuilding year for the USAFA................ |

Good job, Secret Agent.
Once Navy graduated that horrid Keenan Reynolds, everything has fallen in place. Army is finally getting back that which is rightfully theirs. Pixie
