It was a great game, hard fought in the snow. Straight running and hard hitting, could have been watching a game from the early 1900s. I watched it from Iraq till 230 in the morning and was too excited to go to sleep afterwards.

Somehow, John Feinstein always sums it up best.

"Then came the tears — on both sides: Army players crying for joy because they were so drained and relieved to have won the game, Navy players crying in disbelief because they were convinced they were going to win.

And there was Army assistant coach Mike Viti, a terrific fullback on bad Army teams during the losing streak, wrapping his arms around Perry as the Navy quarterback wept.

One more moment in a day that was full of them. Which is exactly the way Army-Navy is supposed to be every year."
