Most will not understand the unique rivalry between West Point and Annapolis. Navy has beaten Army in football every single year since 2002. I have a theory as to why, since prior to that Army beat Navy almost 50% of the time: since 2001 we have been at war. If a football athlete has a choice of going into the Navy or the Army when his country is at war he might feel compelled to join the Navy where hed have less likely chance of being on the ground getting shot at. Its just a theory on my part, but it also reflects the sad reality of war. Pray for peace. And if you get a chance, watch this entire game from march-on, to the prisoner swap, to the school songs sung at the very end. Its mesmerizing. It will be on December 13, 12:00 PM (PST) on CBS. Meanwhile, this good-natured spirit spot done by Navy midshipmen is hilarious. Respects to Matthew McConaughey.
