I know this has kind of been a snoozer football wise the past few years, but I love this game.

This is played by young men who may eventually be going in harms way after they graduate. They play football for the sheer love of it, not to get a big contract in the NFL.

On top of that Nike has done something cool and designed new uni's for Army:

On the back it says "Duty. Honor. Country."

And Navy:

I love this game as well. It's usually played in Baltimore and I've almost gone once or twice.

On a total sidenote, as many people here are already aware, Coach Lombardi was a coach for Army before he moved up to the Giants organization.

I love this game, too. This is pure football.

I felt for that Safety that was drafted by Detroit and the got shafted. Too bad, I guess.
