'89 Army-Navy Game made Jim Nantz' top 25 Memorables (#20)
FRom Jim Nantz' most memorable moments for him as a broadcaster - #20:
December 9, 1989: Navy defeats Army on Frank Schenk's FG with 11 seconds remaining.
"It was a classic college football game," Nantz says. "But more than that was the remarkable 'purity of sport' among these athletes who weren't going on to the NFL; they were going into harm's way to defend their country." After the game-winning kick, a Midshipman's hat, tossed in jubilation, flew into the CBS broadcast booth at the Meadowlands. "Midshipman Mackowitz, if you're out there, I now have your hat," Nantz said on the air.
