Haven't made it to Navy-Army yet. How hard is it to get tix?
I have seen all the Service Academies play. First saw Army in 1962 at B.U. The march in of the cadets was very impressive.
Saw Navy and AF both at Notre Dame. Saw Navy a couple of times. The mutual respect between ND and Navy was very evident. Both teams stood for the other's alma mater.
I would love to see Ohio schedule a home & home with Army or Navy.
I would like that too, especially Navy. I remember we played Navy sometime this century in basketball. I think it may be been in the TOS Era. It was a home game, and it brought back many memories, as the first collegiate game I ever saw, when I was about 5-years-old, was a Navy baseball game. My father was teaching at the Naval Postgraduate School, which was located in a building right across the street from the building that Dad worked in. So, he took me to a game one time.
On a recent trip to Annapolis we took a tour with a small group and the tour guide knew where the PG school had been located and took us there, and that's when I discovered that the old baseball field, now the practice field, was located right across the street. The only thing I really remember about that baseball game in the late 1940a was the umpire with his chest protector and mask. I thought he looked like a Martian or something really strange.
In 1950, the PG School moved from Annapolis to Monterey, California, and Dad opted to accept President Baker's personal offer and come back to OHIO.
