Why?: It's the purest rivalry in college sports and I always just feel like I have to watch, as if I don't then I'm not only a bad American but, worse, a bad college football fan. But from a purely football standpoint, Navy will likely still be running the triple option that Johnson installed and had so much success with, and that stuff is always fun to watch. Also, just a quick aside, when I was a kid and found out that Army had a football team, I wondered how they ever lost since they had guns and no one else (besides Miami. Zing!) did. I was so cute.
Who do I think will win?: Navy. They've owned Army for the last six years, and it doesn't look that streak is ending this year. Navy will likely make it's sixth straight bowl while Army, coming off of 3-9 year, will be lucky to equal that win total.
Who do I hope will win?: There's no picking sides in this one unless you actually served in either branch of the armed forces, and since I didn't, this is the only game I watch every year with no clearly defined rooting interest.

GO NAVY!!!!!
I must agree with you that this is the purest game in college football. I never miss it if I can help it at all. I served in the Navy so therefore I pull for the Midshipman. I have had the privelage of being at one of the games and it was AWESOME. It made me proud to be an American, and the football was the greatest. They play for pride, not for themselves or for the hope of an NFL contract. I wish more players felt that way, anyway ROLL TIDE and GO NAVY!
GO ARMY!!!
as an Army soldier I hafta say that, although I don’t get into this game half as much as the Army officers….half of ‘em went there so they go crazy. actually, last year they had a live broadcast feed out here and they would cut us going crazy every time there was a score….I was wearing a Bama shirt and I think I snuck in the corner of one of the shots, but I don’t think anyone saw it….at least not my family or anything…
