Dino ought to watch this to learn something about discipline. Namely... all too frequent offsides penalties
I get why they play the game in an NFL stadium but, for those of you who have never been, West Point is an absolutely stunningly beautiful campus.
True. Cannot wait to get back there for SU in 2024.I get why they play the game in an NFL stadium but, for those of you who have never been, West Point is an absolutely stunningly beautiful campus.

I am from New York State and lived there for most of my first 30 plus years, I am ashamed at myself for never visiting West Point, I have always heard it is amazing. I went to the SU/Navy game in Annapolis in 1989, that was pretty awesome.
It is one of the few places in this country where one can "feel" the history...almost the way one can "feel" the history when walking through Rome...not quite the same order of magnitude but we are a much younger "country".Prior to 9/11, I used to ride my bike thru there occasionally (we lived across the river in Garrison), but after that it was closed to civilians for the most part.
It really is an amazing campus. So much history.
One time I was out w/ the dogs for a hike along the river on our side, and you could clearly hear the game going on in Michie stadium - they were playing (and losing to) Duke.
Only time I've been inside since then is about 5 years ago, our niece had her HS graduation ceremony there.
And we were late, due to the backup at the gate, so then my wife drove fast thru campus to get to where we needed to go, and got a speeding ticket. D'OH!!!
When we play, expect us to hire a boat to take us up the Hudson from Manhattan. I did this once before...lotta fun.Prior to 9/11, I used to ride my bike thru there occasionally (we lived across the river in Garrison), but after that it was closed to civilians for the most part.
