Sailors will have the chance to be on national TV on Dec. 1 by submitting quick video spots that could air in commercial breaks during the annual Army-Navy football game, the Navy announced Monday.</p>

<p>CBS Sports is looking for 10-second segments from Navy commands that show Navy “team spirit,” according to the announcement, including commands’ names, locations and avoiding “use of Navy jargon or acronyms.” Especially important is the picture and audio quality of the spots, the Navy said. They must be submitted on high-quality videos or discs, not consumer-grade home camcorder-style tapes....

<p>West Point -- Army football stuck with Georgia Tech for one half, trailing 13-10, less than two weeks ago.</p>

<p>Army coach Stan Brock said Georgia Tech "outmanned" his team in the second half of a 34-10 loss.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech, one of the better Atlantic Coast Conference programs, was scheduled to play at Army next year. Not anymore. Army has opted out of the home game, scheduled for Oct. 11, 2008, due to a buyout clause in the contract, said Bob Beretta, Army's senior associate athletic director for athletic communications.</p>

<p>It's just the beginning of Army athletic director Kevin Anderson's initiative to lighten the schedule and give Army a better chance to win.</p>

<p>Army (3-5) is staring at its 11th straight losing season unless it wins three of its last four games. The schedule hasn't helped. Three of Army's losses have come on the road to the ACC's No. 2 Boston College, No. 21 Wake Forest and Georgia Tech, which was ranked No. 21 earlier this season.</p>

<p>The days of Army playing three ACC teams in a season are over, Anderson said yesterday. "Playing three or four or five of them, we are not going to do that anymore, at least not on my watch," Anderson said.</p>

<p>"We cannot continue to play teams that are in the Top 25 and outweigh us tremendously and play them week in and week out because our kids get beat up. Nobody wins from that and we can't be competitive. ... There's situations that we put them out there and it would take a tremendous effort from them to win and that's not what this program is all about."</p>

<p>Anderson said Brock and Superintendent Lt. Gen. Franklin Hagenbeck are on board with his plan.</p>

<p>"We've had a committee sit down and look at this and we agree that we need to look at balancing our schedule," Anderson said.</p>

<p>More scheduling changes could be on the horizon for next year. Anderson wouldn't name specific opponents.</p>

<p>Texas A&M's official sports Web site says the school is hosting Army on Oct. 27, 2008. A Texas A&M sports information staff member said the info is up-to-date as far as he knew.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich was taken by surprise over Anderson's decision. In his column, "The Good Word" on Georgia Tech's Web site yesterday, Radakovich called Army's decision, "one of the most bizarre events I can recall in my years of intercollegiate athletics," when Anderson handed him a letter less than an hour before the two teams kicked off on Oct. 20.</p>

<p>"It is indeed an extremely rare occasion for any school to opt out of a home game after playing that opponent already on the road," Radakovich said in his column.</p>

<p>Radakovich said Anderson wrote in the letter, "After evaluating the limited depth on our roster, we realize playing consecutive games against schools from major conferences is not in the best interest of our program or our cadets. Under similar circumstances in years past, our players have suffered numerous injuries that have threatened both their athletic and military careers."</p>

<p>Anderson said in an interview with the Times Herald-Record yesterday, "Ever since I became athletic director, it was very clear that we want to win as many football games as possible. I know this program is not going to play for the national championship. I was never under any false pretenses that would happen. However, we expect to play well enough that we could qualify for a bowl game, that we are competitive and that we win the Commander in Chief's trophy. That's our goal year in and year out. Are we there? No. Are we going to get there? I truly believe so."</p>

Bring on Army. That is Navy’s mindset as it prepares for the 108th meeting with its rival service academy from West Point, N.Y. at M&T Bank Stadium on Dec. 1. </p>

<p>Army (3-8) extended its losing streak to five games with a 49-39 loss to Tulsa. But Navy (7-4) has a lot more momentum on its side, as it has won its past three games, including a 35-24 victory over Northern Illinois on Saturday....

<p>In loss to Tulsa, Army finds its offense</p>

<p>By Sal Interdonato</p>

<p>Times Herald-Record
November 18, 2007</p>

<p>West Point ‹ Maybe Army coaches can postpone the postseason offensive retreat after all.</p>

<p>Quarterback Carson Williams had a career day. For nearly four quarters, Williams was matching Tulsa's second-ranked offense almost point for point. And this was eight days after Williams was benched twice after completing 5-of-16 passes against Rutgers.</p>

<p>Williams threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns in a 49-39 loss. But there are a few passes Williams would like to have back.</p>

<p>"I can think of a few different ones if I could go back and replay them that it would probably change the outcome of the game," said Williams, a sophomore.</p>

<p>There may be one pass that sticks out.</p>

<p>Williams threw a poorly-thrown ball on fourth-and-5 from Army's 11 with about two minutes and 25 seconds left in the game. Coach Stan Brock decided to go for it, despite having two timeouts left and trailing 42-39. Receiver Mike Wright never had a chance on the ball and stepped in front of a Tulsa defender to prevent an interception.</p>

<p>"We had the opportunity to go all the way down and win the game," said Williams, who had completed 28 of his 72 passes (39 percent) in his prior three games. "Our mind-set was to go down and score. We had four plays, kind of duds. Our mind-set was to score and we just couldn't do it."</p>

<p>Williams had a scorer's mentality all game from Army's first possession, a two-play, 94-yard, 23-second scoring drive. Army totaled its most points of the season and its most points against a Division I-A team since a 42-35 win over South Florida on Oct. 16, 2004 (a 35-game stretch). And Williams was steering the ship.</p>

<p>"He made some clutch plays when he needed to," Brock said. "He was probably seeing the field better and he was making some good plays. He had some really super good throws, (and) not much pressure on him. He made smart decisions today. He's getting better."</p>

<p>Williams got a big-time assist from Army's ground game. Sophomore Ian Smith saw his first extensive early-game action of the season. Smith (48 yards) and junior Tony Dace (69 yards) teamed to help Army (3-8) to its season-best running game (163 yards).</p>

<p>In the end, 39 offensive points weren't enough. Tulsa racked up 622 yards against Army's defense, which made only five stops in 13 Tulsa possessions.</p>

<p>Tulsa (8-3) scored on trick plays ‹ a halfback pass and a reverse. And even when it looked like Army had a play covered, Tulsa scored. Brennan Marion beat three Army defenders in the end zone for a 50-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left in the first half to give Tulsa a 28-24 lead.</p>

<p>"I can't credit the offense more," Army senior linebacker Brian Chmura said. "They played awesome today."</p>

<p>Williams' last pass was picked off in the end zone with three seconds left. But Williams may have put his stamp down as Army's leader of the present and future.</p>

<p>Record day for Army's Trimble
By Ken McMillan</p>

<p>Times Herald-Record
November 18, 2007</p>

<p>West Point ‹ Jeremy Trimble wanted desperately to go out a winner in his final game at Michie Stadium. He will have to settle for having one of the finest days of his four-year career and etching his name as the finest receiver in Army football history.</p>

<p>Trimble caught 11 passes for 167 yards and scored on plays of 35 and 9 yards in Army's 49-39 loss to Tulsa. In the process, Trimble became the Academy's all-time touchdown-reception leader (15) and all-time yardage leader (2,325). He set the mark for all-time receptions earlier this season, and extended it to 175.</p>

<p>"The records are great, and 10 years from now I will look back and say, 'Wow, I did some good things,''' Trimble said. "Right now it's hard, after a loss, to think about those things.''</p>

<p>With his 11 grabs and 167 yards, Trimble was two receptions and 19 receiving yards shy of Army's single-game records in those categories.</p>

<p>"The stats show Jeremy is my favorite receiver,'' said Army quarterback Carson Williams. "Every time I throw it to him I have the confidence that he will at least help me out.''</p>

<p>Trimble found a seam in the Tulsa secondary to haul in a 35-yard score to put Army on top 14-7 midway through the first quarter. He caught a ball between two defenders near the goal line and stretched into the end zone for a 9-yard score to give Army a 31-28 lead early in the third quarter.</p>

<p>"I was able to make some things happen in open space,'' Trimble said.</p>

<p>Trimble surpassed Clennie Brundidge's receiving-yardage mark of 2,279. His second score erased the career receiving-touchdown mark set 61 years ago by Heisman Trophy winner Glenn Davis and later tied by Brundidge.</p>

<p>"It's a tribute to the way that he goes to work,'' said Army coach Stan Brock. "This year, really, he's been our go-to guy. He is the guy that we're going to throw the ball to when we have to have it and everybody knows it. He finds a way to get open.''</p>

<p>Williams said Trimble's record day was "an awesome achievement,'' and says he will miss his favorite target next season.</p>

<p>Trimble has one game remaining in his career, on Dec. 1 vs. Navy. Trimble has an opportunity to set single-season marks for receptions (he needs four), reception yards (he needs 31) and receiving touchdowns (he needs one to break a tie with Mike Fahnestock).</p>

<p>Fallen captain</p>

<p>Senior fullback Mike Viti went down with a lower right-leg injury in the second quarter. Viti was helped off the field and could not put any weight on his leg. He showed up on the sidelines in the second half on crutches. His status for the remainder of the year is questionable.</p>

<p>A solid front</p>

<p>Army pieced together a veteran lineup on the offensive front, a main reason why the Black Knights' offense saw an improved effort and put up 491 total yards. Junior Brandon Cox moved from left guard to left tackle and senior Connor Wicklund saw his first start at left guard since hurting his ankle against Boston College in September. Senior Trey Miranne, junior Seth Fabin and junior Mike Lemming started at center, right guard and right tackle, respectively.</p>

<p>Lots of yards</p>

<p>Tulsa passed for 425 yards, falling 11 shy of the stadium record for an Army foe. The Golden Hurricane's 622 yards of total offense tied the Army opponent mark set by California on Sept. 29, 1973. Army and Tulsa combined for 1,113 yards of total offense, three yards shy of the mark set by Army and Tulane in 1998.</p>

<p>Emotional day</p>

<p>Brock took time to work the long line of seniors and their family members who were honored before the contest.</p>

<p>"It was very emotional for me,'' Brock said. "To see those kids up there getting ready to make some terrific sacrifices ... It's more my honor to shake their hands than anything else.''</p>

<p>Attendance watch</p>

<p>Army drew 27,687 to Senior Day, and averaged 31,712 in its five home games.</p>

7

<p>"I don't think a 100-percent triple option is the answer," Brock said. "If it was, Navy would be national champions because there's nobody that runs it better than Navy, nobody."</p>

<p>"Army wide receiver Jeremy Trimble says this rivalry comes as close to hate as you can get (Baltimore Sun)"</p>

<p>But it is a unique feeling - because while there is the intensity to WIN - after the game - it becomes the "Band of Brothers" feeling where everyone on each team respects, and even loves the opponent. The BEAT ARMY (or BEAT NAVY) is a sports rivalry that has more than 100 years of history behind it. But at the end of the game, the singing of the respective Alma Maters, the emotions that are openly displayed by many who will be departing to the Fleet (or to whatever the Army calls their deployment) - and the next time the players see each other, it might be as allies on the field of battle defending this great country. </p>

<p>So to use the term "hate" in the statement does more to confuse the issue than it does to clarify the emotions that are there.</p>

As Baltimore prepares to host its first Army-Navy football game since 2000, I vividly remember the last time the game was played here. It was a frigid day — the kind that makes you want to receive rich, chocolaty Ovaltine intravenously — and I was sitting in the last row of, then, PSINet Stadium. It was so cold, I decided to leave the game at halftime so I would not PSIN my pants.</p>

<p>I honestly don’t remember a single play from that game. The human brain can only sustain so much arctic agony before grey matter decides nothing matters and calls it quits. But, for me, the 2007 installment of the Army-Navy game is going to be different. In fact, it has all ready started....
