Watch Army and Navy's awesomely awkward hype videos


The game isn't until Saturday, but the Midshipmen have already won.


Army and Navy play this upcoming Saturday, finishing off the regular season in the annual can't-miss showdown. Both already know their postseason fates. The Midshipmen will play San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl, while the Black Knights will be staying home in head coach Jeff Monken's first season on the job.


It's one of the biggest, and best, rivalries in sports, and the two programs (and fans) have exchanged barbs via YouTube videos in the lead up to this year's event. Navy has won the game for 12 straight seasons, and most of their videos followed this theme.



Some tips on hashtag usage, Navy: don't use punctuation (like question marks) or numerals, as they'll break your hashtag up. Also try not to use full sentences like #Firstgamein1890playedeveryyearsince1930 because that's pretty impossible to read.


Dan Aykroyd got in on the fun, giving the Midshipmen a celebrity bump.



Here's another Navy video, using the Matthew McConaughey Lincoln ads to make fun of Army and former head coach Rich Ellerson.



I hold in my hand the world's tiniest violin. It's been playing for 12 straight years.


Alright, Army, what do you got?



Aw, crud, tired masculinity jokes. Navy wins again!
