    Possible hot take incoming:

    I think Army-Navy is a great spectacle when it is a means of celebrating the honorable history and traditions of two branches of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. I am much less interested when it is used as a means of selling car insurance and quasi-tactical and other commemorative merchandise or to assign guilt to those who have not served, more often than not by people who themselves have not served but want to justify their political culture.

    Should it be pay per view with no commercials?

    Besides, I thought Wheel of Fortune was America's Game.

    Most of you watching Army-Navy probably feel like you’re watching a different game, or at least a different era, of college football.

    Very limited offense. Lots of punts. The biggest plays of the game happening on defense.

    As for me, I watch the Hawkeyes almost every week …

    I see your point, but doing it with no commercials or perhaps having USAA spend their ad budget and give it over for 2-minute spots with Army and Navy personnel to say hi to their folks from their respective bases or ships actually sounds like a great idea to me, especially as this event drags ever closer to Christmas (not that CBS doesn't already do some of that).

    Back to the game: crappy prevent defense gives Navy a quick TD, and a chance. But why go for two there???

    Puzzling decision to go for 2 and then also questionable to go onsides kick.

    Army’s pass defense scheme is so bad.
