December 13, 2015: BEAT NAVY BACON
MY LIFE WITH BACON continues by documenting my visit to Philadelphia for the annual Army Navy Football matchup.
Although the Naval Academy won the game, it was a close one, 21-17. Army was a 23 point underdog. They should have won.
Army always wins the march-on, where the entire student body (the Corps of Cadets at West Point, and the Brigade of Midshipmen at Annapolis) marches onto the field before the game. Here's a representative sample of why Army always wins the march-on, with the West Pointers on the left, and the Navy on the right.
And here's a shot of all the cadets in formation on the field.
On to the bacon. I'll call this "beat navy" bacon; consumed at the Renaissance Hotel near the Philadelphia airport. The bacon doesn't look so good, but sure tasted great.
Finally, a shout out to the West Point Society of Chicago Parents Club co-President, Kim Vander Yacht, who sent me this photo. Fitting since the new Start Wars movie is coming out now.
