Help the Midshipmen expand their dominance online

If the contest were over which service had the best fighter jet flight demonstration team, this thing would be over already. Winner: Navy, for the Blue Angels. // MC1 Chad McNeeley / Navy
Do you support Naval Academy competitive endeavors? What about when they involve besting the U.S. Military Academy in some way? Do you have a Facebook account? If you answered yes to these questions, Navy needs your help beating Army in the greatest struggle in the history of organized sport — the race to a million “fans.”
Perhaps not since the 1945 Army-Navy Game, in which the teams entered the match ranked no. 1 and 2, respectively, has there been such an epochal, high-pressure contest between these ancient nemeses. The Black Knights won that game, but this time, Navy’s online fans are confident they can emerge victorious.
Wrote Navy Facebook fan Paul J. Lawrence: “This is a no brainer.”
In a clash of this magnitude, however, nothing is certain: As of early Friday, Army was winning with 3,965 fans to Navy’s 3,796. Which side will taste sweet triumph, and which the bitter tang of ignominy? Only you can decide.
