Army/Navy. No one outside of Texas and Oklahoma give AF about this damn game unless it directly affects their own team and that can honestly be said for any other rivalry out there, EXCEPT the Army/Navy Game, it never has any national significance in CFB standings, the winner doesn’t get to the playoffs. It’s about about purity. There is no NIL, no multi million dollar contracts waiting for the players. It’s young men who will be leading other young men and women into harms way.

In 1926 they played at soldier field dedicating the field to honoring those lost during WW1. The official attendance for the game was 110,000. Even Knute Rockne attended the game over coaching his own team that day.

There only 6 FBS rivals that have met more times and UT/OU isn’t one of them.

Twice the game was actually played for the national championship. 44 and 45.

Instant replay was used for the first time in the United States in 1963 and it was the army navy game.

Most importantly the entire college football world watches only Army Navy. It’s not crammed into a Saturday night in October. It is the absolute final game of the college football regular season.

The weaponry on display during the game from the Flyovers with F22, F35 even the Blue Angles have done some. Apache Helicopters, Howitzer Crews on the field.

The entire student body of both schools march on the field before game.

Yeah I could go on and on. All these other games are fun and mean something most of the time in the Standings. But nothing beats the Army Navy Game.

Oh and Army has just as many recognized National championships as UT. Army also has more Heisman Trophy winners than UT.

What exactly makes UT so damn narcissistic? Their history isn’t exactly storied. OU is a better fit for the SEC.

I was in Afghanistan and had ZERO clue the game was even happening. I made up for it by going to the Super Bowl. Man I missed so much shite being deployed.

Because 20 years in the Army institutionalized me and combat parking is all I do!

This is so true, however they definitely have the system scammers out there

Younger but only by a few years

Eh, I’m 80% rated served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. Knees are fricked, Vision is damn near gone in my left eye, and I constantly have a ringing in my ears. I can’t seem to get 100%. Now they have guys that never served in any hostile locations getting 100% or are medically retired. Bunch of BS if you ask me.

I don’t have any particulars on the incident but I saw and felt the explosion from the rooftop of the courthouse across the street. Hope everyone is ok.

I do work with Vets through the VFW. I just have nothing to do with the VA. TBH I find the regular military not SpecOps guys run into PTSD at a higher rate. They see more, do more, therefore are exposed to more. The SF community has a lot of resources now to help while they’re still in. The Regular army does not. I was on both sides of that fence. I am speaking from experience on that part.

Well I can see the argument for fixing it. My wife works in an elementary school. They are constantly testing. Dibbles, Benchmark, leap. They take up over 50% of the school year to conduct the tests and as a result teachers are teaching to the test not what these kids have learning

I am an industrial HVAC tech, not a single plant I work on has any refrigeration guys. Their engineering department doesn't even manage it. It's all on my company

Fact! They will hire a mechanical maintenance company to maintain the facility. Nobody has their own HVAC technicians other than Hotels and Hospitals.
