The 123rd meeting between Army and Navy will take place this Saturday - 3 PM (E), 1PM (M) on CBS. This years game returns to Philadelphia.
I hope you'll find time to watch these young men who will eventually join the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps as leaders of our Nation's sons and daughters. They sacrifice much during 4 years at the academies, and when they graduate, they will honorably sacrifice much more. Excellent students - Excellent athletes - Excellent Americans.
While both teams have had disappointing seasons - neither earned a bowl invite, winning this game is always THE most important goal for both squads.
This year's uniforms:
Army's uniforms are dedicated to the soldiers of 1st Armored Division during World War II. This is the 80th anniversary of Operation Torch, which was the start of the United States' ground operations in Europe and North Africa. The "Iron Soldiers" defeated Axis forces in North Africa in harsh, desert conditions. Approximately 125,000 soldiers landed in Algeria and French Morocco in November 1942 in what was the the largest amphibious landing in history at that point
Navy's 2022 threads are out of this world -- pun very much intended. The school released its uniforms for the showdown on Monday, and they are dedicated to the 54 Navy graduates who have gone on to become astronauts. That is, according to the school, more astronauts than any other institution has produced.
Go Army - Beat navy.
