Okay, so I wanted to get into this whole Army-Navy football thing. It’s a huge deal, you know? I started by looking up when it all began. Turns out, it goes way back to 1890. That’s a long time ago! They didn’t play every year at first, but since 1899, it’s been an annual game.
I thought it would be cool to see who’s won the most games. Right now, Navy is ahead with 62 wins, Army has 55, and they’ve tied 7 times. But get this, Army has been doing better recently, winning four of the last five games. It’s like a back-and-forth thing. Also I saw that in recent years, Army won six of eight games.
Then I dug into some of the biggest wins in the history of the rivalry. Navy had this crazy win in 1973, though I couldn’t find the exact score. And for Army, their biggest win was in 1949, where they won 38-0. That’s a pretty big difference!
I also checked out the longest winning streak. Navy really dominated from 2002 to 2015, winning 14 games in a row. That’s more than a decade of wins! But then Army came back and won the last game, so it stopped Navy’s streak.
The last game they played was a nail-biter. It went into double overtime, and Army won 20-17 because of a field goal. I watched some highlights, and it was intense! Both teams are headed to a bowl game this year, which is unusual. But everyone says that the Army-Navy game is in a league of its own.
I’ve been reading about how people bet on these games too. Apparently, Army was the favorite to win in the last game. The odds were something like Army by 6.5 points. But betting on these games seems tricky because they’re so unpredictable.
So, that’s my deep dive into the Army-Navy football rivalry. It’s more than just a game; it’s like a piece of history. I’m definitely going to watch the next one live and see what happens!
