It's one of those things that transcends a bad record, at least to me.
I've been to games at four of the five service academies (Merchant Marine for rugby) & have always had a great time. Saw a couple of Gate wins at Army back in the '80's, and it really made no difference to the experience overall, which is inspiring. I'll be at West Point next week, and expect a good Gate crowd on hand... and expect Army to being doing a number of pushups regardless of our current defensive statistics.
