SIR, There are 4 & a Butt Days Till Army-Navy

From phillylovesarmynavy.com:
When Army and Navy meet, there is no other game with deeper foundations or greater prestige.

The rivalry kicked off 120 years ago when Cadet Dennis Mahan Michie accepted a “challenge” from the Naval Academy and the two squads faced off on The Plain at West Point on November 29, 1890 (Navy had been playing organized football since 1879, and came out on top of the newly-established Army squad). Ever since, through those many years of intense cheers, unforgettable plays and climactic moments, the Army/Navy rivalry has been etched into the minds of countless fans and followers. All it takes is a visit to West Point or Annapolis, where everything (from the finely manicured hedges to the chant following grace-before-meals) proclaims “Beat Navy” or “Beat Army,” to understand how deeply ingrained this rivalry actually is.

We are not going to the game this year, but will definitly be there in 2011 when they play in Fedex Field in DC. YEAH BABY!!!! The Steptoe Clan is hosting our Annual EPIC Army-Navy Party at True Blessings Estate where we will have an indoor tailgate and watch Army Beat DA HELL outta Navy (I hope the team got a read of my Open Letter to the Army Football Team) in the warmth & comfort of the BIG SCREEN and High Def.

Hope to see you there.

GO ARMY!!!! BEAT NAVY!!!!
