As many know by now, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point defeated the
U.S. Naval Academy 21-17 in their annual football game on Dec. 10, 2016. It was
the first time since 2001 that Army had won and was the 117th meeting of the
two rivals. Navy leads the series with 60 wins to Army's 50 wins and seven ties.
On his way into the Lewis and Clark Center the Monday after the game,
Foundation CEO Doug Tystad ran into Bud Meador, a CGSC history professor
and retired USMC lieutenant colonel and the Foundation's government appointed
liaison to CGSC. Meador explained that he had placed a small wager with one of
his history classes.
"Bud told me that if Army were to win, he would sing the Army Song while
wearing a paper bag over his head," said Tystad. "Therefore, this morning he
marched into his class, donned the bag, and belted out the Army song, inviting his
students to sing along with him."
We salute Professor Bud Meador for being a man of his word...and Go Army!
