Here is the rest of the story - Go Army! A little inner service rivalry fun this morning! Enjoy!
http://taskandpurpose.com/army-sends-in-the-war-tubas-to-crush-navy-spirit-in-new-video/
The football rivalry between the Army’s Black Knights and Navy’s Midshipmen teams has come a long way from brutal brawls on the field to where it is now, with the two teams trolling each other with pre-game movie spoofs.
The most recent video, published on West Point’s YouTube page on Dec. 1, is deliberately overdramatized and reminiscent of the blockbuster film “Zero Dark Thirty.” Written and produced by Cadet Austin Lachance, the video, “On Brave Old Army Team,” takes its name from the academy’s official fight song.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs, if music is the answer, I think it more appropriate the we stick with the famous lyrics of Burt Bacharach, who wrote, "Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying
Planning and dreaming...)!
Navy has won the last thirteen outings in a row and the Sagarin Ratings have Army ranked below MANY FCS football programs, and give Navy a 29.55 point advantage. Thus, I think the Bacharach/Wolinski song most apropos!
All that being said, I still offer up, GO ARMY, BEAT Navy! MSG (Join to see) LTC Stephen F. MAJ Tex Hall CPT (Join to see) MAJ Alvin B. MSG Tom Earley

I'm thinking (and hoping) that ARMY is going to be SUPER hungry and want to finally put some hurting on the Midshipmen.

Capt Mark Strobl - Ok. Its a deal. If (WHEN) ARMY wins, you post a pic of you wearing a loud and proud Army Shirt stating you lost. If (DOUBT IT) Navy wins, I will do said same.

Very recent history begs to differ with that thought, COL Ted Mc haha. And I do appreciate the mediator side, COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I just can't help but show my Navy pride.

PO2 (Join to see) - PO; The statement is "MAY the best team win.". It is NOT "The best team WILL win.".
Sometimes, through completely unpredictable circumstances it doesn't work out to be the case that the better team wins. Sometimes (statistically speaking) you can get an incredible run of events where the better team doesn't win.
Statistically there is a 0 [login to see] 5% chance of Navy winning its 13th consecutive game (the same chance as there is of tossing a coin and having it land "heads" 13 times in a row).
PS - If there are only two teams then there is no "best" team, on a "better" and a "worse" team.
PPS - Over the past 12 years, the Army team has the second best win/lost record while the Navy team has the next to worst.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I had not yet seen the video Army Sends In ‘The War Tubas’ To Crush Navy Spirit In New Video. I had never heard of attack Tubas but I know some people are offended by the sound and sight of tubas :-)
That reminds me of the post that was sent out a couple weeks ago about the Japanese War Tubas that were primitive radar or more likely sonar defenses systems in WWI.
