History will be made this afternoon when Army faces Navy at Michie Stadium on the campus of West Point.
It will mark just the seventh time the most renowned rivalry in college football is held on the grounds of either service academy.
West Point will host the Army-Navy game for the fourth time, with the last instance coming in 1943 because of World War II. It’s taken another worldwide crisis — the coronavirus pandemic — to cause history to repeat itself.
Jack Gillooly played in the 1943 Army-Navy game and marvels that circumstances have driven the rivalry back to the West Point campus.
