Related Topics: Army–Navy Game

Fear not, college football fans, for you will not have to go a full Saturday without a game for the rest of 2017. Filling that potential void this week—which falls after championship weekend yet before the start of the bowl season—is the 118th meeting between Army and Navy. This historic rivalry is uniquely collegiate, from the in-uniform crowd to the dueling triple-option offenses to the sheer grit and determination on display from young men who will defend our country after graduation. It’s a game you just feel good watching, and it’s the only college football game on the slate this weekend, so there’s really no excuse for not tuning in.
