Right on!Harm said:Whoa, back up '68... So you have no vested interest in young men or women who have a vested interest in you, have volunteered in fact, to possibly give the ultimate sacrifice for you,despite the fact they've never met you. That in itself should more than qualify for your apparently "Vaunted" interest... :x
I fully comprehend what you're really trying to articulate, however, this isnt like not caring about a game btwn say Memphis and UCF... these are the young men and women who stand out front, who volunteered during wartime, on the line btwn all Americans and the shitbag savages who want to do harm to innocent civilians such as yourself... I generally have no issues with your posts etc, however, ya fumbled it this...and I dont know about you, but I've had enough of any kind of fumbling this year!!
Hate to "pile on" and nothing particularly against '68. But Army-Navy, and the other games between service academies, are fundamentally different. Yes, they are "just" football players but -- as Soldier and others have noted -- these are young men who have put their asses on the line for everyone else in this country. That, oddly enough, even includes the Goddamn illegal immigrants who come here for a better life and/or a better job. Because of those young men and women, we have a country of both safety and opportunity. Not perfect, admittedly, but better than most anywhere else. (Have you looked at France lately?).
We never fail to at least look in on service academy games, and more so when it's two of them.
