Go Navy, Beat Army

Its Not Far Away Now...Another Chance to Excel

It is almost that time of year again. That annual event where we get another opportunity to prove to DoD and the world who the masters of the gridron really are.

CBS will televise this annual event and provide coverage of the 2009 Army/Navy game, which will be held Dec. 12 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The football game is a traditional event that offers an exciting opportunity for Sailors and Marines to display their team spirit before millions of Americans.

So I have a message from this old Navy Chief and you better damn well pay attention when the Chief speaks . . .

GO NAVY BEAT ARMY

Navy Quarter Back Troy Gross (14) gets sacked by a blitzing Army defender at the 108th annual Army vs. Navy football game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD. Navy defeated the Black Knights of Army by the score of 38-3. The Navy Midshipmen have now won the last six Army Navy battles. The 8-4 Midshipmen have accepted an invitation to play in the Poinsettia Bowl Dec. 20 in San Diego, Calif. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Herbert D. Banks Jr. (Released)

GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY
