Daily schedule of Army and Navy football players

It's always striking to see how an Army or Navy football player spends their day and how different it is from that of all other college students. When you factor in a curriculum that is far more difficult than almost any other college football player you realize how special these guys are.

The students in the academy's are special kids. My two girls are officers in their high school navy rotc program and the diligence these kids put into making themselves better is to be commended. They leave the house at 6am and get home at 6-6:30 at night. When they compete at Nationals each year it totally restores my faith in todays youth. These kids are disciplined,respectful,hardworking and patriotic. And the academy's take it to another level. Thank you Tahoe for pointing this out.

One of our local Seahawks beat writers went to West Point....told a great story about how the train station was moved to the other side of the Hudson River so all the cadets could not easily jump on the train to New York to party......

God Bless America. Thank you to these amazingly hard-working people for what they do for our country.

That game today was everything college football should be. Just a fantastic game. Just when I am about to give up hope, you get a treat like that was and it reminds you not just of what the game was but what it can still be. Those kids fought hard on EVERY single down... the elements in play and we get to see it unlike the modern lightning strike delay we get sometimes ... running, blocking and tackling. No cheap shots but lots and lots of hard hitting. Kids rising to the occasion. Edge of your seat stuff.

Just loved that game.

And the points mattered. The shoe string tackle matters ...

We are gonna see a lot of "not football" during bowl season but this was definitely football.

God bless the men and women in our military.
