Though this might surprise you Army Football is one of the most storied franchises in college football. During the 1940's turnouts at Notre Dame / Army football games in New York city were over 100,000 at the old polo grounds. They are the owners of a number of undefeated seasons and two national championships. They have produced three Heisman trophy winners. Vince Lombardi was an assistant coach at Army. Army's current coach is Bobby Ross, who took the San Diego Chargers to the Super Bowl. Notre Dame's Rockne Gymnasium has the Army Academy crest inscribed on the side as a sign of their respect for their war time service.
Army's traditional rival is Navy, whose nationally televised game is normally shown on whatever weekend the more popular teams don't happen to be playing (typically early Dec). Its a decent draw, normally played in Giants Stadium, JFK in philadelphia, or one year head scratchingly in the Rose Bowl
Modern recruiting and the requirement of a service obligation after graduation has now unfortunately reduced Army Football to a laughingstock of the CFL. (Which some recent bright spots... close losses to Alabama and Auburn in bowl games) At one point they set a record of losses in college football by going 0-13.
Have to give some credit to Army Football guys though cause they have to attend class, have to take their own tests, and have to do all the crummy stuff the other academy guys do.
I don't know how in the heck Navy football pulls off these good teams lately and good for them! But Navy seems to get the media breaks. They get Top Gun, Army gets Blackhawk down. They get Navy Seals and Army gets an ESPN movie about the Army Football cheating scandal!
Contrary to what you might have seen on MASH, nobody in the real Navy or Army give a crap about the Army / Navy game unless they are former players. Days off are given for the Super Bowl in the Army, not the Army/Navy game... what does that tell you.
Army Football sure has stunk for a long time but lets face it, they should be in the Patriot league Division 1AA.

Props to Texas A&M, Notre Dame, The Citadel, Norwich, Air Force, and VMI for their fine record of military service in our nation's wars

The Football Helmet is a piece of protective equipment for players, originally intended to keep Tom Brady from kissing other players on the lips
Antonio was lucky, He caught that god awful pass and Brady tried to kiss him, luckily Brady had his Football helmet on.

Oranges cut into four quarters, which you then suck to get all the juicy bits out.

A game with a very strict set of rules. It is ran by Mr. Dick Tater. Players may call him any variation of the words dick, and potato. The game is started with the customary tip-of-the-hat, and the customary shaloob. The ball is then put in play by Mr. Tallywhacker Beerfries. Players may "thwap", by slapping their thighs in the direction they wish to send the ball. Players may not alter the direction of the thwapping. Players may also "Zoom" by making eye-contact with another player, and pointing their elbow at the player. Players cannot "thwap a thwap thwap", or Use a thwap three times in rapid succession, unless it is all done by one player, before anyone else has thwapped. This also goes for Zooming. Players must raise their hand and be called on by Mr. Penis Potato. All players must address each other with the Title of Mr. or Ms.. Players may not use any pronouns. The breaking of any rules is rewarded with Penance points. The player with the most penance points at the end of the game "wins" and must do a dare.
Paul: Hey, lets play silent football!
Group: HELL YEAH! I'm sick of contact.
Paul: I call Dick-tater. Customary tip of the hat!
Group: customary tip of the hat
Paul: Customary shaloob
Group: Customary shaloob
Paul: The ball is now in play, all rules are now in effect.

American Football - Some believe the name was stolen, this is false. The name Football was derived early in the sports creation when passing was not a part of the game and all that was done was running on the feet, hence the name football. This game is an intense one where you play by the objetives in which there are many ways to real your objectives, mainly physically. Throwing, running, and tackleing are the main actions of the game. This sport requires great mental and physical strength, speed, agility, teamwork, and the ability to keep your cool.
Uneducated Foreigner: football? they stole our name :'(
American Scholor: Incorrect, the name was actually created due to the large amount of running the ball in early football history.

American football is the most mentally involved game in the history of the world.for those who think it just about a bunch of big fatties runnig into each other, try reading a zone defense. players have to remember hundreds off different plays, formations,and what to do on a certain play, depending on what the defense does.in fact, the biggest men on the field,offensive linemen, have to be the smartest players and have the best techniqe.it is a game of leverage and angles.it is the greatest teamsport in the world. in order to have a good team, every body on the team has to be eaqualy important. not only is it mentaly demanding, it is one of the most physically demanding ones too. it is because not only do you need endurance and running ability like soccer, you need strength and agility. if american football players did not wear pads, not only would many people die,but more than the early 1900s when they wore no pads. players are bigger stronger and faster.and even though you wear pads, it is still more painfull than every sport , except rugby,wrestling(not wwf, real stuff)and ufc, or cage fighting,boxing.if you dont agree with me on the physicallity, watch any high schools 2 a a day summer practice.or even better try it.you guys are just mad because it has not only become americas pastime, but americas obsession.and pads make it harder to run too. there is only 25-35 seconds between plays, timeouts are 1-2 minutes long,2 min between quarters, and 10 min half. not 5 mins. between plays like you little bitches said, and im talking to all who undermined football, dont judge it unless you've played the real thing, and you have played it and you still dont like it, you a least respect it.simply said, it is the best sport in the universe!!!!!!!!!
person one:rugby is so much better than "american" pussy football.
person 2:bitch, shut the fuck up
