Have you seen this - Army Sends In ‘The War Tubas’ To Crush Navy Spirit In New Video?

https://youtu.be/Hz6r8fGZmVU

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.
