Every time we jumped into a two-week exeval in miserable weather, and knew the flight crew who dropped us off were headed back to base and a beer at the club ... every time the air force guys rotated back home after just 90 days in country ... every time the zoomies stepped into their air conditioned pods while we sweated next door in a GP medium ... we wished we were in the air force, too. lol

Go Vols! Go Army!

In an age where kids just want to play for the name on the back of the jersey and for the most money, this is the last true college football game. To see the agony of #34 to lose his team a game that in reality had no bowl or any other implications, just school and team pride… that is college football…. I like the new product… I love the old product

'tis the last bastion, indeed the purest essence, of what we old gray-beards remember the game as having been back when we and the earth were still young!!

I'm 67 and a old retired Navy Vet....All though I'm disappointed in the out come and the fumble on the ONE FOOT LINE. There is no losers in this game. Just one winner has more happiness than the other on this particular day.

Edit: But to be 100 percent honest...When Navy fumbled on the ONE FOOT LINE I wanted that player shot out of a torpedo tube :)

I was, at least, seriously considered for an appointment to West Point. However, given the fact that hostilities in Vietnam had not ended and I have a seizure disorder of undiagnosed origin, although completely controlled by medication, I knew that the last thing the Army would have wanted was an officer in a combat zone incapacitated by a stress-induced seizure, so I did not pursue the opportunity. Nevertheless, no matter what else is currently wrong with this world, it will always be a distinct honor to serve this country.

I haven't watched this game in a number of years, but as young boy my dad and I watched annually. Always rooted for Army but my recollection is that we rarely won. Looking back at the record it is a lot closer than I suspected. Anyway, long story short, I did watch and enjoy the game all the while thinking that dad would have been proud.

My dad was drafted into the Air Force in 1968 and was judged a 4F and given a medical discharge because of bleeding ulcers.

Jeff the Air Force never participated in the draft. Sounds like your Dad was in the same situation I was in and rather than be drafted into army or marines elected to enlist. The trade off was either a four year tour vs a two year one and almost sure trip to Southeast Asia.
