Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo trolls College GameDay crew, Kirk Herbstreit for pro-Army remarks
The Army-Navy game is always a special one in the college football world, and it usually is a heck of a matchup, too.
Navy had a 14-year winning streak from 2002 to 2015, but then Army rattled off 3 wins in a row. Last year, Navy picked up a big victory, and now the Midshipmen will try to make it 2 in a row on Saturday at West Point.
When the College GameDay crew interviewed Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo on Saturday morning, he came out firing, trolling analyst Kirk Herbstreit for pro-Army remarks:
“@KirkHerbstreit said that [they’ve] all been close games, but I guess he forgot about last year.”

“It was good to watch this program because it got my blood boiling,” Niumatalolo said. “I thought this was the Army show, watching you guys. … When Kirk said these have all been close games, I guess he forgot about last year.”
Indeed, Navy won 31-7 last year, and Niumatalolo wants to make sure no one forgets that fact. This rivalry is always an intense one, so it should be fun to watch on Saturday afternoon!
