Needless to say, Carter was really into the Army-Navy game this year. Grandpa is USNA class of '73 and we lived in Annapolis much of my childhood, so our loyalty runs deep. He is intrigued by all the tradition surrounding the game and was on the edge of his seat. I have to say he did do his pushups for every point (and one to beat Army) throughout the game. Navy 17, Army 3
Carter joined them at the end of the game the alma maters of the losing team and then the winning team are played and sung. The winning team stands alongside the losing team and faces the losing academy students; then the losing team accompanies the winning team, facing their students. This is done in a show of mutual respect and solidarity.
