With the inclusion of the LSU game on TV, it marks the very first time all the Army games in a season will be on network television.
Oh, how I remember those days when I got in my car traveled to the McDonalds parking in Highland Falls just to listen on the local radio station when Army was playing a road game. Not a NYC station carried the game
Living at the Jersey Shore, there was no local broadcast of any Army game on the radio. Even a NYC station did not carry the game to my area.
So the trip to the Thayer Gate was 112 miles and I made that trip many times over those dark years. 112 miles back home too. After dinner , it was always a double quarter , fries and a milkshake for dinner in the McDonalds parking lot.
A lot of sad trips home after a loss too.
I guess it takes all kinds of fans (fanatics) to follow your team.

And gas was a helluva lot cheaper back then. Thank god

Rab Army use to be on the fan 66 radio for few years then I believe just before Monken it dissapeared probably cause of all the losing

I go back to the 1940's when guys like Ted Husing, Bill Stern and Bill Corwin called the games. After the cribbing scandal of 1951 and Army started losing a couple of years, the radio games disappeared. The broadcast did return but really no network. Occasionally, Army did get some radio but only the big games.
I have many recordings of some games in the early 60's on reel- to- reel tapes and as far back as the Virginia game of 1953 (0-0 Tie with Ted Husing at the mike). Walter Kennedy was Ted's analyst. Kennedy later became the mayor of Stamford, CT. Also, the Army- Duke game of 1953 at the Polo Grounds with Husing calling the game which was the last year he called any games. He died of a brain tumor after going blind some years later.
Of all the play- by- play guys who worked the radio sports airways those early days, I believe Husing was the best of all of them.
If I wasn't at the game, I always listened to the game on my radio.

Our best-upset chance would be a Noon or 3:30 pm kickoff. Death Valley gets riotous at night.

I can't wait.

If Army somehow manages to pull off the upset, riotous may be a mild description of the atmosphere in Baton Rouge.

My first visit to Tiger Stadium was in 2000, when UAB (at the time a Div 1 program for 4 years) beat LSU, who was coached by none other than Nick Saban. At the end of the game, Coach Watson Brown came out and high-fived the entire UAB section (we only took up a few rows of the visitors section). I left the stadium with my arms folded over the UAB letters on my T-shirt. Lots of alcohol-besotted fans leaving the stadium in a foul mood that night.

Well there will be a few hundred Army fans there at least. I am hopeful we'll have a good game, execute and compete.
