Army/Navy today at 3:00. Both teams are 5-6, and who is favored depends on who you ask.
The game is being played in Massachusetts instead of Philly. About 40 years ago they played in the Rose Bowl stadium (not "The Rose Bowl"). My son was a cadet at the time and my niece was a "midshipman" so my wife and I flew out to watch the game. Navy won by a lot.
I'll be watching today.
Go Army.
ANOTHER COLLEGE TRADITION
The ARMY NAVY game Always lives up to the Hype
I have no favorite either way, I just hope no one gets injured and that both teams have fun
Probably one of the earliest games I remember as well. I had to be a little guy, my mom was out probably shopping, and my dad was home with me on Saturday and he had the Army Navy Game on our Box TV We had a console type color TV and ONLY ONE because TVs were very expensive then.
SO yes, watching Army /Navy is a tradition in college football like no other. But I did not realize that they are playing it in MASS instead of Philly this time. Hope the weather cooperates. But either way the game must go on.
North Dakota State (10-3) @SOUTH DAKOTA (10-2) (FCS quarterfinals) 2:30. Oh man this is going to be a fun game. USD has only lost to 1 FCS team this year (the other loss was to a top 10 ranked FBS team in Missouri) and already beat NDSU on the road during the season.
Navy (5-6) vs. ARMY (5-6) (@ Foxborough, MA) 3. Go Navy, beat Army!
Kutztown (12-2) @ Colorado School of Mines (13-0) (division 2 semifinals) 3:30. It's surprising how a Mining school can be so good at football.
North Central (13-0) @ Wartburg (13-0) (division 3 semifinals) 3:30. Matchups of the unbeatens, I'll take the home team here.
Albany (10-3) @ Idaho (9-3) (FCS quarterfinals) 10. Nobody walks into the famous Kibbie Dome on the campus of Idaho university and walks out a winner!
APOLOGIES TO 7 EXPRESS and EVERYONE for wasting all my bandwith badmouthing the Bowl selections and not getting my picks in, and for copying of 7Express'paper
Honestly, we have the crappisest overall slate of bowl games in over a decade, maybe more*, but we have some good games today ARMY NAVY is ALWAYS fun to watch. Does not matter the records, they always shoot their load on that game.
Nothing slouchy about Division 2 or 3 football, the players are just as passionate and skilled as any other. Fans too. Should be some good matchups today

4-5. 225-139 overall. Watched part of that SD State/Villanova game. It's cold in the Mid-Atlantic but nothing like South Dakota. The wind was killer that day. I knew Nova wasn't going to come out on top.

SUNY Cortland (13-1) @ North Central (14-0) (December 15, 7:30) (Division 3 final). Weird things happen in a championship game final, so I will take Dragons of Cortland to take home the d-3 title.
Albany (11-3) @ South Dakota State (13-0) (December 15, 8) (FCS semifinal). Jackrabbits should run all the way to the FCS championship, and who knows they may very well get another rematch against their neighbors North Dakota State.
