• One of the most anticipated college football games each season, the annual contest between the football programs at the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy is rich in tradition, but is much more than a football game. The game is usually played on the first Saturday in December, and in most cases the game is contested in Philadelphia. In 2009, the Army Navy Game will be held on December 12 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

• Brothers in Arms

  One of the reasons that this game continues to have great appeal is that, in this day and age of 'win at all costs' college football, the Army and Navy teams are made up of players who will never play in the NFL, yet are some of the best and brightest this country has to offer. The class load they keep during the week is immense, and most other college football players would not be able to cut it. Furthermore, the game is special the opponents on the field of play will become teammates on the field of battle in representing the United States.
