You know, speaking as a professional civilian, this is a hard one to determine which team one wishes to win.
When one has no sentimental ties with particular college football teams, the first criteria one should use is, which team has the most history, tradition, and color?
In this case, it seems a tie.
Minus that, one should then use the criteria, which team is the closest to oneself in geography, culture, and sentiment?
In this case, both teams are back east, in a time and place utterly different from the snowbound Sandhills of Nebraska.
Well then, what about miscellaneous criteria?
Most in Nebraska, a landlocked state, who serve in the military, chose the Navy or the Marines, many of with whom franksolich enjoys social associations.
Okay.
But on the other hand, the Army seems more important.
Oops, back to the drawing board.
About the only "edge" one can discern, when trying to find a team to boost, is that until the second world war, Naval officers were the cream of Washington, D.C. high society, while Army officers were generally ignored.
A dilemma wrapped up in a quandary.
