Classic ending.
Navy fumbles going in for a TD in Overtime.
Army recovers then kicks the FG to win it.

Army now 5 of last 7.

When I picked them up, it was the owner that gave them back to me and he said "nice shoes, how old are they?" When I told him 30 years and that I just saddle soap and shine them, he said, "they're really good shoes, keep doing that and they'll last another 30."

It's funny... at first, I hated shining shoes/boots. Then you learn, then appreciate, why it is important to do so whether in uniform or out. Trenches in Ukraine are demonstrating why you shine your boots in a time when just 1 year ago, people were convinced "we'll NEVER see that kind of war again!" Also, I have a pair of really nice dress shoes that I actually bought in Gainesville in 1989. I still have and wear that same pair of shoes. About 2 years ago, I took them to a really good local cowboy boot place and asked if they could resole them. When I picked them up, it was the owner that gave them back to me and he said "nice shoes, how old are they?" When I told him 30 years and that I just saddle soap and shine them, he said, "they're really good shoes, keep doing that and they'll last another 30."

This. Still wear shoes that I’ve had since 2005. Saddle soap and shining(and quality to start with). Never was in the service, but shine my shoes every Sunday. Youngest does it now.

Used to love shining boots. When at Ft Jackson I commanded a bct company. We were still in business and black boots. Bought a heat gun and used that to work in the wax. Made them look like glass.

Oh yeah, the homos from Annapolis lost, but I typically don't like academy grads so I don't care either way.

That guy who fumbled at the 1-yard line should be stripped of his commission and sent down to Parris Island to work in the scullery.

Somebody for one of these academies needs to bring is an offense that is at least capable of throwing ball.
