I know no one but me cares, but whatever. This was funny though, I found it posted on foxsports.com's message board:
Go Navy! Beat Army!Navy Fans: Cheer for Victory Over Army!
In summary, during Army football practice, a player found a mysterious white powder which turned out to be the goal line. After investigation, practice resumed and the team was unlikely to encounter the substance during their upcoming game against Navy. The joke was appreciated by the son of a Navy graduate who was watching the game with his friends. The conversation also included a mention of UA's victory over ASU.

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.
