Totally agree, it is important for both schools in the grand scheme of things; the part that is often overlooked in big time sports. It also in my opinion highlights that we are a "national" University almost as much as a military academy, and not a regional school. Which bolsters our argument for football independence.

We have a rich history with the military, and I enjoy playing the academies because it tests our defense every year and they are generally close games.

It still amazes me how many ND fans don't know the history behind the ND/ navy game.

The comments on ESPN articles amaze me. Makes everyone on this board look like geniuses.

Great news. A ton of respect between these two.

People scoff and laugh at the fact that we play Navy every year....but if they knew the history, they'd probably apperciate it as much as I do.

And, go tell a Navy football player to his face that he's a "cupcake" or "pushover". Those guys play hard every down in every game, which is amazing considering the demands they deal with everyday at the Naval academy.

It's very hard to root against those guys. Even when they're playing ND.

I'm always amazed when someone chides ND for playing Navy. I look at the schedule of their favorite team and discover Div II or Div 1AA competition in there.
