Perhaps it depends on what your aliances are. I was also there in 2008 for both march ons and they both looked very professional. Navy marched off the field, not sure who saw them 'running'.
Apparently, you need to have final exams to be considered a legitimate college.
You do know not all classes have a TEE, right? The core classes do, but once you get into your major you will find some of these. So please elaborate how this is possible.
Also, I recall the entrance math class allowing cadets who scored above a certain score on all tests to skip their final.
I know Army Navy is truly about football, not marching, but Navy certainly had a poor showing this year. I think I see Kindergartners lining up for bathroom breaks better. Also the goat taunting the cadets while IN FORMATION was disrespectful, gauche and behavior I would expect from non military colleges, not a place where leaders are supposed to be trained. I am proud that the cadets did not break formation to pound the bejeezus out of the goat--I guess that is why I didn't go to West Point.

Gone never to return. The era has passed. Big brother is watching. Closely. The flight recorders in the new super hornets record EVERYTHING. The old days of "he said, he said" have been superceeded by a printout with elevations down to the foot. Guaranteed they will all now be at 1000' above the highest obstacle. Learning this has already cost the Navy a few aircrews. I would bet if the wing commander called with a complaint on Monday morning, if the skipper had not already reviewed the data and taken action, he would also be relieved.The flyovers used to be much better.

Probably a smart move for Army fans the past decade or so.Mongo the game was not the reason I was there.............
Probably a smart move for Army fans the past decade or so.
However, it is pretty desperate to start making up 'games' such as 'marching' or 'who has the sweetest mascot' and declare yourself the winner without letting the other team know what the rules are.
The rationalization of the losers gets deeper and deeper. Are we now adding to it the questionable patriotism of the Navy players?Seems to me they've been on a tear since about the time the Iraqi war really kicked in.
