  TV contract is based on it being without conflict the last regular season D-1A game of the year. It was moved to the second Saturday in DEcember back in 2009.

  He'd rather I didn't but he's a third year and boxes at the Academy. Played soccer and lacrosse locally.
• Con_Alma

  Gotcha. I respect that. You've given some info for me to identify him. I can easily roster the Ohio Mids and their hometowns. If his physical activity is boxing the Brigade team is publsihed on the Yard.
  
  I'll try and look him up next time I'm in Annapolis...hopefully springtime. I like meeting the Ohio boys and thanking them for what's to come.
• Tiernan

  He'd appreciate that. Great young man, wants to be an aviator.
• Con_Alma

  He's going to have to be pretty high in his class to get that selection choice. Hope he makes it.

  The silver dollar that was to be flipped by President John F. Kennedy at the 1963 Army-Navy game in Philadelphia will be used for the coin toss 50 years later at the 2013 Army-Navy game on Saturday in Philadelphia.
