Look at your uniform. Now back to mine.
For anyone who doesn't follow my Twitter: the Air Force vs Navy game was today. We haven't beaten them in seven years. It's kind of a Huge Deal.
So I hauled my rear out of bed after a solid five hours of sleep, helped set up the tailgate, and got massively sunburned. It was worth it, though, to see Air Force absolutely hand Navy its collective rear in the most spectacular fashion possible. I'm not sure what the best moment of the game was: the 50-yard touchdown run by our QB, the game-ending interception by the same player who made 15 tackles and a sack, Navy missing a field goal by pinging it off one of the poles (schadenfreude what), or the punt that a freshman player blocked by making an unbelievable leap over the shoulder of a Navy blocker. The footage of that needs to be slowed down and have either Chariots of Fire or I Believe I Can Fly playing in the background, because it is just amazing.
So yes:
NAVY = SUNK
A WINNER IS AIR FORCE
A particular favorite from the afternoon is this video, played on the big screen on the scoreboard before game start:
Yeah, it's been a good day.
