I know no one but me cares, but whatever. This was funny though, I found it posted on foxsports.com's message board:
Subject: ANTHRAX SCARE AT ARMY
Army football practice was delayed nearly two hours late this morning after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.

Head Coach Stan Brock immediately suspended practice while police and federal agents were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance, unknown to players, was the goal line.

Practice was resumed this afternoon after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance this week against Navy.

My son, a recent Navy ROTC graduate, and now an ensign, appreciated this. He was watching the game with a bunch of his Navy cohorts when I called him.
 
At least they didn't try to snort the white powder...
 
We'll see...
 
Army never got close to the white power.
 
Go army!

You should have told them that yesterday! I think the coaches forgot to tell the team the game started! :biggrin:
 
I chuckled a bit. Reminds me of a similar joke about the Lions.
 
On an almost related note, UA destroyed ASU last night!
