Is it Deja Vu All Over Again or Not? Does the set-up for this year’s contest sound similar to 2013? Will the streak stop on Dec. 12th or Not?

Army Football The winds of change

"Winds in the east, mist coming in. / Like somethin' is brewin' and bout to begin. / Can't put me finger on what lies in store, / But I think what's to happen all happened before." - Bert, from Mary Poppins

Guys, I never thought I would use a quote from Mary Poppins on a football board. But there you have it. It is strangely similar to my feeling about the state of Army Football. I can't quite put my finger on it and I guess it's more instinct than anything. @Indadshonor got me really thinking about this in another thread. There is just something different now than what I have felt in a long, long time. And I think @Indadshonor is correct. We are witnessing change. Something special is happening. Our recruiting, by unbiased measures, is better than I can ever recall. Coach Monken and staff are connecting with young men all over the country. They are communicating a vision and the right kids are responding to it. They want to be part of the most special institution in the U.S. and they want to be part of a truly unique and historical experience - the resurgence of Army Football. There are freshman all over the field, and they will only get better. The team is playing with 'true grit' and a fortitude that is noticeable. That is a credit to those on this team who know that their playing days will end with the Navy game. It's a credit to those who will return. And that's evidence of a consistent winning culture that @Indadshonor refers to as well.

That's all the hard evidence I can give you. But, like Bert, I have a feeling that something magical will happen here. Army is soon to rejoin the ranks of winning football, CiC trophies, and bowl bids. It has all happened before and will happen again soon!

Is there enough magic in the air yet to beat Navy? I don't know. Regardless, it's going to be much more fun to be an Army fan in the next decade. Beat Navy.
