PrintDon't need to say much to get this thread started. We support and admire all of our incredibly brave men and women serving our country through our arm forces. However, just for three hours this afternoon the entire Bruin Nation is going to get behind Navy. The kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 am PST at Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia. It will be broadcast live on CBS. You can keep track of the score via WWL here.
If you want to get a full flavor of the game you can also check out the official site built for this game over here. BTW don't forget our basketball game is scheduled for tip off around 1:40 pm PST. We will of course have a game thread all cued up for that which will go up around 1:30 pm PST. We will just continue this game thread into our hoops one once that is up.
So let's get this going. Anchors aweigh.
GO BRUINS.

Bruin fan...
…rooting for Army. My dad is West Point, Class of ‘68, so there’s no way I could root for the Midshipmen today. That said, Navy should win without much drama. However, if Army loses UCLA getting a bowl would ease the sting of (another) Navy win a little bit.
This is one of my favorite games of the season, regardless of the outcome, though. The history and the fact these players are part of something bigger than a football program is awesome.

Go Navy!

Curious...
I know UCLA has played Air Force a couple of times. Have the Bruins ever been matched up against either Army or Navy before?

I was thinking about TV networks the other day
When the Pa-10’s TV deal is up and we’re looking for a new partner, how about NBC? They have Notre Dame during the day, but a weekly prime time game? That also frees up the conference for other TV deals with ESPN or FSN or whoever during the day.

Hamilton High School
Where I went to high school, won the City Section D-II Championship last night, finishing a season in which they won more games than in my four years there combined.

Narbonne vs. Crenshaw in about an hour at the Coliseum for the city title..Crenshaw has an outside shot at D-II state
by jtthirtyfour on Dec 12, 2009 11:58 AM PST up reply actions
Which is a joke
They should definitely be playing for State if they win. Crenshaw fans should be rooting to Servite tonight, sending them to the open division game and freeing up D-II for Crenshaw.

Better, but not much
We didn’t fill the place for Wooden Classic’s when we were far better playing better teams. I’d be surprised by more than 12,000 people there.

Does Army's #82 Villanueva play on both sides of the ball?
I thought I sam him congratulated after the pick (even though he wasn’t the one who picked it) and they threw to him on 3rd down there.

So.
If you could choose one of the following outcomes today, which would you choose?
Navy football over Army football
or
UCLA hoops over Mississippi State hoops?
Looking at the long term good for the programs
I’m going with Navy

prolly Football- we need the younger kids to get more practice and the seniors to have 1 last game.
Our basketball team is young. It’s a longer season.
But how bout both? haha
Bowl game for the F-ball team is WAY more important than 1 win for the B-ball team
