2017 Army-Navy Game: Not A Single Bended Knee

The 2017 college football season came to a close today at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly with the 118th edition of the Army-Navy game.

Before the game aired, CBS Sports produced one of the classiest and emotionally stirring videos celebrating those who have committed their lives to protecting our country.

For the 118th time, it’s much more than just a football game. pic.twitter.com/f8ruphRpUd

"The only game where everyone playing in it is willing to die for everyone watching it.". WOW THAT REALLY SUMS IT UP! Not a dry eye in the house, not a knee on the turf! pic.twitter.com/eSh9NK4Vjf

Rivalries stir the soul and today’s game was no exception.  On a snowy field, the Black Knights of the Hudson took on the Midshipmen of the Naval Academy to win 14-13.  Before the game, in a solemn and majestic moment, the choirs of the Annapolis and West Point academies sang the national anthem.

Dad would have been proud of his Army and his country today.
