Army-Navy

PHILADELPHIA -- Even a tradition as long and storied as the one shared by Army and Navy had room for another first on Saturday.

Tired of getting lost in the shuffle of the new age of college football's conference championships, the sides agreed to play on the second Saturday of December for the first time in the history of the rivalry.

The Army-Navy game, now taking center stage. No distractions, no games on competing networks.

What was not a first was the absence of two things: BCS implications and exciting football. But if you turn on Army-Navy expecting exciting football, you probably buy Playboy to read the articles.

Tradition, tradition, tradition. That's what Army-Navy is all about, and I'm excited I got to end the OGS tour at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field Saturday getting one final Gameday Gallery together. Click here to see it.
