“The noisy assault team spooked the goats into a run, though, and when the fumbling cadets gave chase, they managed to grab only one goat - and not the right one. 37 as he dozed peacefully in a pasture with several other retired Bills. You’ll recall in the most recent edition, FOD covered how Army stole the wrong “Bill.” According to a joint statement released by the Army and Navy in response to questions from The New York Times, the West Point raiders attempted to sneak up on Bill No. The tears of joy changed to tears of sadness almost instantly. The family was cheered, and Bourgeois’s widow, Megan, spoke briefly to the team. Bourgeois was a 20-year Navy SEAL Team Eight Commanding Officer, who died Monday after a training accident. “Sometimes you’ve got to get lucky and players make plays, and (Fagot) made a great play.” The most emotional moment came in the Navy locker room, when eight members of former Navy football player Brian Bourgeois’s family were ushered inside. “It was a mistake,” Niumatalolo told CBS’s Jamie Erdahl in a postgame interview. Only, a fake punt was not the intended play. The Midshipmen ended the drive with a field goal to go ahead 17-13, the score by which they ended up winning.

The play of the game came when on fourth-and-1 from the Navy 34, linebacker Diego Fagot took a snap from punt formation and rushed to his left, stiff-arming one defender and flipping over another defender for a 4-yard gain and a first down to keep the fourth-quarter drive alive. His counterpart, Army GEN Darryl Williams, only got to do 13. Only at Army-Navy can you see the two school presidents doing push-ups after their team scores: VADM Sean Buck, the Navy superintendent, did 17 in the fourth quarter. They’re playing for each other and playing for this historic moment. They’re not worried an injury could lessen their draft opportunities. Players aren’t worried which NFL team will draft them.


“But, yes, this one was the best.” This was the way an Army-Navy game should be played. Was this his best win in 14 seasons as Navy’s coach? “We’ve had a lot of good ones over the years,” he said. Navy sang “Navy Blue and Gold” second! When the last notes of “Navy Blue-and-Gold,” died out a few minutes later, he stood stock-still for a moment, drinking it all in, completely soaked in sweat, clearly drained. The loser sings their alma mater first and then the victor sings. And then, as the Army alma mater began, he became himself again. He hugged his players he hugged everyone in sight. The usually stoic coach was sprinting to midfield, arms in the air, shaking his fist in celebration. How big was the win for Navy? All one had to do was look at Ken Niumatalolo when the clock went to all zeros. The Black Knights never found the end zone again, and the Mids stopped them twice late to win, 17-13. The Mids dominated for most of the annual long day’s journey into night. On the basis of strength of schedule, Navy was number 3 in the nation and Army was 107! After Army scored a touchdown on the fourth play of the game, I thought it was going to be a long afternoon with disappointments again this year. Army had played eight bowl teams, but no one like Cincinnati, Notre Dame or Houston- a combined 35-3. But the Midshipmen were playing their 11th game against a bowl team. Navy was 3-8, a markedly different record. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, you missed one of the great editions of “America’s Game.” Army came into Saturday’s game 8-3, with a bowl bid locked up and the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy already retained because it had beaten Air Force and Navy had lost to the Falcons. Military Academy at West Point, New York, and the U.S. If you didn’t see the 122nd Army-Navy Game, the storied rivalry between the U.S. How many calories is one cup of average cranberries?
