WEST POINT, N.Y. - There are college football traditions all over this country, but few have more significance than touching the Marshall Plaque before running onto Blaik Field at Michie Stadium.
At every game, home or away, Army West Point Football players will take the field after placing their hands as they pass by the bronze Marshall Plaque which is held by an Army officer with affiliations to the team.
The wording on a bronze plaque, placed near the southeast corner of Michie Stadium, has been recognized over the years as a splendid compliment, not only to West Point, but also to the long line of West Point football players who are a unique breed, indeed.
