Army Strong, Baby! Kathy Knitgator just e’d me and challenged me to a little Army/Navy wager. Fact is, I grew up a Navy brat, but my heart belongs to the Black and Gold. Go Black Knights!
It’s a big week here at West Point. The post is full of excitement all leading up to this day. I tried to get tickets way too late or we’d be in Philly right now. But fear not. Brewskys and snacks are ready! Joe thinks he’s part of the team since he was on the Junior Black Knights this year so he’s ready to root for “his guys”. The stats are against us:
Navy: 52 wins
Army: 49 wins
7 ties
Longest streak: 6 years (Navy; ongoing as of 2007)
108 total games played
10 years in which game was not played
but I think it’s our turn…. GO ARMY! BEAT THE HELL OUTTA NAVY!!! Crap. Navy already scored while I was sitting here doing this. Gotta go. My team needs me.
I was asked about the hat on the lower left corner of the photo in my last post. It’s the Picot Hem Stranded Snowflake Hat by Kathleen Taylor. The one on the bottom right is the Salsa Hat by Nanette Blanchard.
Great post! Even though Navy won, we are all winners in that we have such terrific young men and women at our service academies and serving our country.
Thanks for the answer on the hat pattern, and for the link to the Drops advent calendar. Now all I need is a day-stretcher so I can squeeze in a little more knitting time…
