The Army-Navy Football Game - Insider Information
In this episode, Grant is joined by Dishan Romine '17, Calvin Cass Jr. '17 and Alex Barta '17 all who are graduates from the United States Naval Academy.
The Army-Navy game is the most celebrated rivalry in college football. It is frequently attended by sitting U.S. presidents and it is well known to be a "bucket list" item for sports fans.
Each of my guests were players in those games during their time at the academy. They are tremendous football players, amazing officers and great men of integrity.
On this episode, they give us an "insiders" view of the game: the preparation, the feelings associated with preparing and playing in this game. This conversation between four good friends spans their recruitment to the academy to what goes on leading up to and stories from the games. This interview goes way beyond the cliches of all the players are willing to die for everyone watching the game to learn about what these games mean, the intensity leading up to the game, the trash-talking on the field and certainly gives a glimpse into what makes being a football player at Navy so special.
Grant's guests are proud Navy officers, members of the "Brotherhood" of Navy Football and an organization we have shared on the podcast previously YBE - Your Best EveryDay. You can hear more about that in episode #003 with Troy Thompson.
