Because I was at the game, I didn’t see this video spot which apparently played before the Army-Navy game on Saturday until this morning. I can’t put into words how powerful and well-produced this piece is, so you’re just going to have to watch it. It’s narrated by actor William Peterson and features Army Col. Greg Gadson, former Marine Capt. Brian Stann, Navy Reservist Clayton Kendrick-Holmes and the parent of a former West Point football player currently deployed (somebody help me out with his name please). Each talks about serving their country during wartime, the sacrifices our troops have made,…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvo8ou46gQw[/youtube] As Navy safety Wyatt Middleton lifted up the ball and trotted into the endzone following his first half 98-yard fumble recovery, he said he had the Spirit Spot filmed by two West Point professors on his mind. That’s all the After Action team needed to hear. The Shake Weight is crowned king of Spirit Spots for the 111th edition of the Army-Navy game. Notice at the end how Army majors Stephen Hamilton and Chris Miller dubbed over Middleton’s voice much like those Coors Light commercials. Apparently Middleton didn’t appreciate the humor. He said he added a little bit of…
PHILADELPHIA – Navy safety Wyatt Middleton snatched the ball and Army’s hopes of ending Navy’s nine game winning streak against the Black Knights out of midair and returned it for a 98-yard touchdown Saturday in Navy’s 31-17 win in the 111th Army Navy game. The senior safety told Navy defensive coordinator Buddy Green before the game he would score a touchdown after Navy’s defense had gone the entire season without one. This was Middleton’s first career touchdown after starting 47 straight games. “What’s ironic is that before the game I told Coach Green I was going to score a touchdown.…

The sixth straight class of cadets will graduate and get commissioned this spring without witnessing a win over Navy. It’s bordering on ridiculous and frankly it’s hurting a proud rivalry. Army certainly had its chances. Navy quarter back Ricky Dobbs did everything he could to keep Army in the game by committing four turnovers, but led by their defense, Navy again dominated the young Black Knights. The turning point of the game was Navy safety Wyatt Middleton’s 98-yard fumble return in the second quarter when it looked like Army would drive into the endzone to trail the Midshipmen by only…
Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs refuses to allow Army to fall out of this game. With Navy driving in Army territory to put the final stake in the Black Knights’ heart, Dobbs committed his fourth turnover of the game by throwing an interception to Army safety Richard King in the endzone. Army started off the second half strong, marching down the field before the drive stalled and settling for a 42-yard field goal. Army should consider having the kicker to double duty because their punter has been abysmal all game. Army quarterback Trent Steelman didn’t look injured in the third quarter…
