A tribute shave for my military brothers across the field. Tomorrow we will be gentlemanly adversaries for a couple hours - but know that I love you and respect so much what your branch does to keep our nation safe and protect our freedoms. You guys rock.
I love the camaraderie of tomorrow’s game - and the tradition.
OK, enough of the sensitive, ponytail man stuff. Here’s hoping that I keep the $1 in my wallet - the gentleman’s bet tradition that started when I was an ROTC cadet and my roommate‘s father was a Naval Aviator. Thank goodness no matter who wins - we’ll use the postal service - and we won’t have to meet at the 2nd Street Subway stop in our Dress Blues (because I am sure I won’t fit in mine
) - because nothing sucks more than singing your opponent’s Alma Mater Song In front of a bunch of strangers at a Philly subway stop.
Here’s to my branch running ragged all over you guys in the greatest city in the world - and for the Army singing 2nd! Go ARMY beat Navy!
