and they're favored by 6.5 against the Midshipmen.
game set to record on my DVR.

Army's favored by 6.5 over Navy.
And best of success to the Army Black Knights (11-1) against Marshall's Thundering Herd (10-3) in the Independence Bowl on December 28 in Shreveport.
#19 Army is the AAC's champion, Marshall is the Sun Belt Conference champion. It's the first time two conference champions have met each other in the Independence Bowl since the inaugural Independence Bowl in 1976. Should be a great game.
Incidentally, Army is 4-1 in bowl games under the current coach and Marshall is 1-4 in their last five bowl games. Marshall has won seven straight but their head coach resigned for the So. Mississippi job and the interim coach will coach through the bowl game. Opening line is Army by 7.5.

In a situation like this it makes non-playoff bowl games even more irrelevant.

Since he hasn't reached his junior year (and taken the oath) he is free to leave without any service obligation. I guess he decided the Army wasn't for him.

Marshall withdrew from Independence Bowl. College football is FUBAR.

AMEN! I do think Marshall withdrawing was "the right thing to do". ATM, they have no team. THAT is indeed FUBAR.

So Army won the conference championshop. Instead of playing another conference champion in their bowl game, they will be going up against 5-7 Louisiana Tech, which will travel 70 miles to the game.

For some, the best four words in college football: "Army will sing first."

Fubar, indeed
I no longer follow college football and basketball unless Stanford is involved. This means it’s highly unlikely that I’ll watch any bowl or play-off game and I couldn’t tell you which team is ranked #1 in either football or basketball.
This seems so strange to me given how closely I used to follow college sports

Mini-me and I caught the Army-Navy game at Gillette last year as guests of Anapolis alums. Incredible life experience for us. The meaning (all the players on the field will put their lives on the line for those of us watching). The pageantry. The spectacle. The only pure big game left in this new era. I've never seen so much mutual respect and good vibes from opposing fans. The prisoner exchange was my favorite part of the game. I urge all of you to go if you ever get the chance. There is nothing else like it.
Postscript: I wondered what the "Free Cho" signs meant and got that mystery solved at of all places Stanford Sierra Camp.

Couldn've been anyone. Could've been the Cardinal.
