Love this game. Used to watch even at sea when I was in. Go Navy! Beat Army! Let's have a good game to my sailor AND solider brothers and sisters. You are all already winners.

This was one of the better ones I've seen in a long time.

I genuinely spent 15 minutes looking at that picture trying to decide what animal it is.

it’s somewhere between a ram and a bull, but they call it a goat

When is the Space Force gonna get a team?

Hey they can wait until us Coasties get a team. We've been here since 1790. Wait your turn. Lol

First line of the Second paragraph:

The Navy Monkey (which was really a gorilla) was the first mascot. 

That explains quite a bit. No goat looks like that, especially the image of Bill they used. The proportions mostly resemble a bighorn ram, which is much more muscular than any got species. 

You could forgive the artistic liberty of a steroided up goat, except that with both Rams and Goats when they charge they line their spine up with their horns so their whole body absorbs the impact. The only horned ungulates I know of that have such a hump in their back when they ram something are bovines (Buffalo, Bison, Cattle, etc). Like the Gorilla thing mentioned, it’s as if they didn’t actually want their mascot to be a Goat.

USCG Academy has a team.  

They don't compete for the CinC trophy. I was thinking division 1 major college football. But you're right. I think New London has a division 3 team.

They do.  Yeah, a little too small to compete for that. 

Their rivalry game is a Merchant Mariner school. Seems appropriate lol.

That was one of the most entertaining Army-Navy games in recent memory. Great upset even though everyone’s favorite coach did everything in his power to lose it.
