If Navy wins today it will be 10 straight wins. As a matter of fact, the last time Navy lost was the weekend that my husband and I got engaged back in 2001. Not the greatest omen, eh? Thankfully I'm not a very superstitious person.
If you love tradition and flyovers and men in uniform and (mediocre) college football, I urge you to tune in. There is something very special about Army vs. Navy. A respectfully vicious rivalry. One of the best things about Army Navy are the spirit spots - short videos that the midshipman and cadets make to show their pride in their schools (and of course to tease each other). Think of them as low-rent but more genuine Super Bowl commercials.
Here are a few of my faves from this year so far:
Teach Me How To Mid
(I swear I could write a whole blog post on just this video and how I totally see my college self in these girls prowling around Annapolis, but I won't embarrass myself)
Party Rock Anthem
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I am soooooo enjoying having my family back in tact for snuggling up in a warm house with college football. Bliss!
We must be long-lost kindred spirits.... I told someone yesterday (before I read this post) "Yeah, Navy won. Again. They've been winning since the year Paul and I got married. I'm sure that's why." Or maybe we are just two girls who like to think the world revolves around them???? :o) Either way, I laughed out loud at you thinking the same thing.
