Go Army!

Having spent a good bit of time up at West Point, I always root for Army in this one. But there are no losers here.
Go Navy!
I was accepted to the Naval Academy, but there were no nominations available in my district, as my local congressman and a US Senator from my state had 5 non-graduating appointees at the Academy. The only available appointment with over 800 applicants (other US Senator) had the one available spot, secured by the brother of one of the senator’s staffers. I learned an important lesson - it’s who know, not what you know. The academy contacted me wanting me to go to a military prep school or undergraduate ROTC program and then re-apply, but with no guarantee of securing a nomination. I said thanks, but no thanks, so I went to my second choice college - Penn State, and never looked back.

GO ARMY!! I’m in the US Air Force, but my dad, sister, and brother in law are all west point grads so i feel an obligation to cheer for army.
I think this game should alternate yearly between land and sea. Play it every other year on a carrier deck in the North Atlantic.
I have a question
Why are some Navy Cadets allowed to wear white sweatshirts (or are they just fans)?
I really like the nattily dressed Cadets from Army and Navy. Their overcoats are exceptional.
