Most conflicted I've ever been on a game in my life. I expect the Sooners to win but it wouldn't make me angry if the Cadets could at least give OU a game.

Agree, but Army will be outmanned greatly and the score should reflect it. I thought the same way in 2010 when Air Force came to town and then gave OU all it could handle, losing 24-17.Most conflicted I've ever been on a game I've been in my life.

The game day atmosphere at West Point is like no other regardless of Army’s on field success.
- I respect Army's players for their service but I want to pound them like I do any other team. The that's the one thing I dislike about playing the service academies. It seems some of our fans are ambivalent about beating them.
WP, my college football interest began in the late 50's and back then, my favorite players were Prentice Gautt and David Baker of OU, Billy Cannon of LSU, Buddy Dial of Rice and Pete Dawkins of Army.
I saw the Army-Rice game in 1958 in Houston, won by Army 14-7 on a late pass to Pete Dawkins. Rice (5-5 that year) gave Army all it could handle and Army went on to have an 8-0-1 record, with a 14-14 tie vs Pittsburgh as its only blemish.
When we moved to New Jersey in 1960, we lived 90 minutes from West Point and I saw many games there....as well as the 14-8 win by OU over Army at Yankee Stadium in 1961.
Army has been my second favorite team since childhood. It is my hope they can be as competitive as Air Force and Navy have been and that may be happening right now after Army went 8-5 in 2016 and 10-3 in 2017, with two straight wins over Navy.
As for this week's game with OU, I expect a decisive win by OU....against a team with players who realize they are at West Point for a much higher purpose than football.
No one here wants or expects OU to take it easy on Army and Army’s players and coaches don’t want an opponent to disrespect them by doing so.
