Thank you for your service. My Dad was in the Marine Corp and reenlisted into the Merchant Marines in the 40's....... He saw no action but that is all I will say : )
They should called the armed forces bowl game. What would be cold blooded.the field was camouflage and blue and white or red white and blue with all names on the field of fallen warriors written on the turf. Ijs
As a retired U.S Army veteran, football player and coach, one of the best Army vs Navy games I've seen. I absolutely loved the Army uniforms. Especially the helmets. I was a member of the 1st Armored Division, 2nd Brigade, Charlie Co, 4th Battalion 70th Armor during Desert Storm. We were the tank battalion that destroyed an entire Iraqi Republican Guards division in less than two hours during the battle named "Madina Ridge". Go Army!
I had a platoon leader who played at West Point. I remember him telling us that we could not imagine the pressure cooker that game was. Half the Generals and Admirals in the military were there, you were playing for the entire Army. He told us that after they finally won the game in his fourth year, the stadium was a madhouse, West Point was nuts, and on Monday morning at his first class his instructor looked at him and said. "Good job on Saturday. That no longer matters. Today matters." He said that was the most important lesson he took from his time as a USMA football player. Never brood on defeats, and never rest on the laurels of victory. Focus on the next challenge. I looked him up. Retired as a Major General
the military is run by a DRAG QUEEN and the players refuse to stand for the anthem. This is what happens when you let psychos and convicted felons into the military because they can run with a piece of leather.
@jaknap1 they're ball control offenses. They don't recruit the kind of talent passing/receiving wise to lean on that stuff. It's usually only out of desperation or surprise they do mix in the rare pass, like in the first OT when they caught army off guard
@@jaknap1they have to stay in height and weight standards for the military so they are unable to get those 300lbs OL to have a solid pass protection. So they run the wing T offense. It’s old school but if the military doesn’t change the standards these teams won’t ever be able to compete for any actual CFP
Now this is a great......acknowledging both teams but you are happy the team you like won. I miss rooting for a team. I was always a big UNC Tarheel and Dallas Cowboy fan growing up......but all the stupid politics ruined pro football, etc.....and college is more exciting to watch....
this is what ESPN gets for not hosting a college gameday for this, this is why you watch the most historic rivalry outside of OSU v Mich every year regardless of the scoring. the meaning behind it is everything and first OT game? game of the century
I kind of wish these Military games were on during the week and make it a prerequisite for all High Schoolers to watch the game. Like in the gym on a big screen.......
as a european i am not in to american football. usually too much business and not sport. that is cool. you feel it has history and is about more than a players paycheck. enjoyed watching this without understanding the rules. both sides showed great spirit. thats what makes sport so amazing.
I don't mind the hard hits or the penalties. This a shining moment for all of them. When they're finished they'll go on to do great things. They may have been college football players today, but forever they'll be military officers.
This was an awesome game. I usually root for Army because my siblings have been in the service, but I felt bad for anyone losing this one. I was glad it went to overtime as it was the first in this rivalry.
Old skool football at its best!….no losers here. Congratulations to both teams for showing people that that style of football is still entertaining as hell!
I’m legit in the parking lot rn in shock from this game! I was on army side with closest seats to sideline and that field goal at the end was crazy! Go army beat navy!
@@solochristo65 In other sports probably a lot sooner, in football they’re all done for this year, Air Force without a doubt the best of the service academies this year (unfortunately).
As a retired US Army Officer, I am very proud of both teams. There was not a loser in this game. These young men are some of the nations finest and will be our future leaders. GO Army! Go Navy!
Hated to see that fumble near the goal line - nobody deserves to get scarred like that with victory so close. Nice play to punch the ball out but damn, that running back was devestated after the loss.
My wife bought us tickets a year ago for a surprise. This is the most patriotic, military centric game on the planet. What an amazing experience and game! Hell yeah!!!
@@GetBenched2010 you're an idiot and that's a shitty narrative. if you decided to educate yourself on where the kneeling came from you'd likely have a different perspective but your assumption that its a sign of disrespect and hate for the country is just flat out wrong. The actual origin of kneeling for the anthem came from Colin Kapernick speaking to an army veteran asking how he could respect the country but express his frustration with its shortcomings which he has not only a right to do but an obligation as an Ameriacn. Kneeling is what you do when someone is injured, when you pray, etc. it is a physical showing of respect in every way standing is. It does not mean "I wont support or respect this country" it means "I respect this country but want to bring attention to/cannot support its unjust aspects". for the love of god stop saying that kneeling for the anthem is Un-American, its --almost-- more American than standing
@@ghost5326 These dudes are not going pro, so if you were looking for LSU vs Alabama or something, you're not getting it, but this game means more to the cadets and midshipmen than the other bowl games do to those who are just waiting to go pro.
@@bodhiutah4501 I agree with that but what is football on any level? Its mainly entertainment. You want to see both sides of ball use unique strategies to advance down the field and score points. In my opinion it was boring asf to see two teams run the same play over and over. no excitement. Would've been nice to not see the first completed pass thrown in the fourth quarter. I'm entitled to speak my opinion and say it was boring and no excitement.
@@ghost5326 Yep, totally fine with expressing your opinion, all good. I just didn't like the trash comment you made, no worries. It was a boring game until the OT. But this game is more about the atmosphere and the rivalry between the academies than the actual game, we all know Army and Navy aren't the best squads to play, but the overall spectacle is awesome.
I ALWAYS go for NAVY in any of these games - from my time in the Marine Corps and riding on Navy ships and knowing that some of these Midshipmen will be Marine officers - and of course fine Navy officers. Go Navy/MC team!!!
Hey Navy #34. Your fumble did NOT cost Navy the game alone. It was every missed tackle, every missed block, every pass not completed. It's a team sport and we win or lose as a team. Don't take this burden on as yours alone, my friend. Come back stronger next year. Good game Army
An excellent game. Both teams get my salute. I never have a favorite in this game and typically cheer for the team that lost the year before. But this year, the Navy's NASA helmet decal and shoulder patch swayed me. Go NASA!
Watched Army as a kid in Yankee Stadium in the 60s. Served 4 years infantry/cavalry then 23 years navy surface warfare. I root for a close game and bet the "under" !!!!!
what a beautiful classic game this was, for the commander n chief to not show up....smh, its all good, it made it's mark regardless, God bless this country....
The uniforms are wild. Didn't know who the hell I was watching at first. It's really something has some of these guys do not run like typical football players... the run like SOLDIERS! 🇺🇸
I know one thing there was some hard hitting in that game. Those guys were going at it. Real good defensive ball game. They were flying around on that field!!
I spent 20 years in the army and 6 years in the navy. I never lose an Army Navy game.
Thank you for your service. My Dad was in the Marine Corp and reenlisted into the Merchant Marines in the 40's....... He saw no action but that is all I will say : )
@@solochristo65 There isn't any more you have to say. God bless your dad.
Too bad both of your teams lost to us. Go Air Force 😂
Lol!! You're right brother
Me too!!! I spent 9 years in the Army and 8 in the Navy!! I was just rooting for a competitive game!!
This was a classic Army vs Navy game
Is their offense always this terrible
They should called the armed forces bowl game. What would be cold blooded.the field was camouflage and blue and white or red white and blue with all names on the field of fallen warriors written on the turf. Ijs
First one I've watched in a while, but yes a good game
Yeah boring ass watching shit dry. Was a horrible game.
@@HeavyMetal221 yes
....and this game is a perfect example why this continues to be one of the greatest rivalries in history.
Facts!!
It's THE greatest rivalry. And the perfect game. Every time. Go Army
@@markbudinsky6273def not the greatest but a good one
Battle of the "we don't have a quarterback" schools?

@@jayandrusiak Normally that's called the Pentagon. But it's pretty heavy security, as the game is considered a high-value target.
A curse on all that disrespect our Armed Forces
This is a game I watch every year. Its always such an honor to watch these teams compete.
Is there a reason they don’t pass and when they do, the receivers are terrible.
@jaknap1 they're ball control offenses. They don't recruit the kind of talent passing/receiving wise to lean on that stuff. It's usually only out of desperation or surprise they do mix in the rare pass, like in the first OT when they caught army off guard

For the Academy grads, this is their season. Everything else is pre/post-season games. It's the only one that matters
LOL - Army beat Spaceforce!
😄😄😄😄😄😄 and had to buy a ref in 2nd OT to win. Let's see em try to win a scrimmage on the battlefield that way.
go niners!! go Purdy!!!
i havent seen a completed pass
this is what ESPN gets for not hosting a college gameday for this, this is why you watch the most historic rivalry outside of OSU v Mich every year regardless of the scoring. the meaning behind it is everything and first OT game? game of the century
Honestly, the way Ohio State played, their rivalry will be the Ohio Bobcats.

Did this mf just say game on the century that belongs to Alabama vs Clemson 2015 my guy
@@JACQUEZ23 game of the century in terms of the army v navy era
@@GoatedAtNFS oh okay then thanks for explaining
No losers today. What a game. For my Dad & Lil Brother glad Army prevails
No losers, except for the passing game. GOT to mix that in consistently one of these years.
navy coach lost. he was fired after this game
This game never disappoints. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your service.
Are these actually soldiers just messing about 😂
I am a disabled Vietnam veteran and love this game each year.
Man both teams were hitting out there! Amazing game all the way to the finish!!
I still get surprised how these guys can take these hits and get back up!! I'd be floating up to heaven if you get my drift lol
They were poping each other
one of the greatest rivalries in sports.
I consider this the best rivalry in college football.
Lol oh cmon, it’s a great rivalry but nothing close to the greatest
@@jaymeU2exactly
There are rivalries that don't have a 1 dimensional offense. Everything about the game is good except the game itself
Why?
@@willh5426 lol who said anything about the NFL?
Watched this in Canada and man... what a game and emotion! Congrats to all players for this magic moment.

One of the games I always have circled on my calendar!
This is a must GAME.
And shall always organize my life around to watch on TV or from the stands.
Great game hard hitting passion toughness respect to both teams this one for our country
I don't mind the hard hits or the penalties. This a shining moment for all of them. When they're finished they'll go on to do great things. They may have been college football players today, but forever they'll be military officers.
What a physical game. Love to see it
This was an awesome game. I usually root for Army because my siblings have been in the service, but I felt bad for anyone losing this one. I was glad it went to overtime as it was the first in this rivalry.
Throw out the records on these 2....VERY ENTERTAINING GAME!!!...Its a shame one has to lose.....GOD BLESS both teams..in the New Year....and beyond...
I salute all the military men and women who serve this beautiful country. You all are winners for life🙏
DEFINTELY!!!!
they refused to stand for the anthem, they deserve whatever meat grinder of a war biden sends them to.
Without proper benefits and with PTSD?
hardest hitting game I've seen this year. some real big licks out there.
Man! He just got nailed! OMG!
Old skool football at its best!….no losers here. Congratulations to both teams for showing people that that style of football is still entertaining as hell!
With all the change in College Football it's good to know some things will never change. Army-Navy is one of them
The Best of the Best! Thank you Army & Navy for all you do! Have (3)Naval Academy graduates in the family.
That fumble at the end was insane luck, good game on both sides❤
Hooah! Congrats, Army!
I'm a lifelong Michigan fan. I look forward to the Michigan Ohio State game every year. But Army vs. Navy is the greatest college football rivalry.
Not as good as osu mich
I’m legit in the parking lot rn in shock from this game! I was on army side with closest seats to sideline and that field goal at the end was crazy! Go army beat navy!
GOOOOOO ARMY! BEAT NAVY! Great game guys, right down to the end, see ya next year.

THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE GAME
"it was like the whole harbour came in, and it was high tide" the commentary is just wow

Well done by Navy, Go Army!
What a game !! In opion they are both winners 🏆 God Bless our military.
Both entrance with their Military Aircraft gave me chills every year ❤
Army - Navy games are always hard fought great games but this game took it to another level.
Smash mouth football the whole game. No flashy passing schemes, just crashing bodies thru just to get 3 yards
No better sound than a blocked punt!
This is football!!!! What a game!!!
Wow, Congrats Army! Brother was in the infantry. Father was in the Navy though lol. I win either way lol. God bless our serviceman and women!

Awesome game last night. Being a 12 year Navy vet, I was sad they lost but all respect to Army
I really don't like the fact both team is getting away from the triple option
One of the biggest reason why I follow them
This is sooooo cool like its different aura than the professional game !
What a game !
most exciting game of the year!!
Such a great game, Go Army!!!
