Negat flame & chucks, just an observation. I noticed the Middies were sporting unit patches again this year. Don't recall seeing them the past few Army/Navy battles. The game got pretty messy/slushy early on, but I saw the Lemoore-based VFA-25s unique
"Fist Of The Fleet" patch a number of times during the game. Either more than one player was wearing it, or one Middie was all over the field today! A bit of overkill, but then so is a 'Nuke!
Good win, they'd have sure as hell socked it to us, if they could have... no tears here.
BzB
I understand that they can wear "unit patches" of their own choosing, or one of the many patches that are submitted by supporters/alums/units. SENIORS can wear TWO...
