Former midshipmen here. There’s just absolutely no way I can see the game ending any time soon. Your article doesn’t display any indication that you understand how deeply Army-Navy is buried in the cultural psyche of these places. Literally every time I turned left or right for an entire year I had to alternately say…
I’ve been to it 2 out of the last 3 years, and am going this year as well. Did not go to either academy, nor do I have family members that did. I absolutely care about it. It’s incredible to watch live, and the emotion that the players have when they Sing Second is awesome.
Former soldier here. I care, even though I never went to the academy. My father-in-law (former sailor) and I have been blasting each other texts and memes all week as we always do in the run up.
