This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I was also at the 73 game, first ND game as well as Army. I've been back to West Point, at least once a year, since then.

The other posters have hit some high points as far as locations, we are hiking to Fort Putnam the day of the Air Force game.

One note, the parade is now 3 hrs before kickoff so they will march off at precisely 9am. Depending on your cruise, you may be tight on that window. From the parade, you can walk north to the Old Cadet Chapel and Post Cemetery. Interesting history there if you are into that sort of thing. As you walk up the hill to the stadium, the Cadet Chapel will be on your left.

As Moff posted, outside the stadium, they set up Black Knights Alley along the resevoir. They sell beer, wine, some food. There are bands, wall climbing, face painting for the kids. Mid morning, the team walks through.

Weather is looking better for Saturday, foliage should be turning and it could be a spectacular day - Enjoy!! We were up for Liberty and it was great, going back for AF and that always rocks the place.
