The Armada

Honestly, those are the exact same people who have beaten you down more times than you can count; just try to remember.😂🤣

Frank Morales5 said:man, those same people come back and break you over and over again... just try to remember that if you can.😂🤣

those guys were nothing but hired muscle.😍

Man, I can already see it coming. Over the next week, my feed is going to be absolutely flooded with people bragging about who’s the toughest in Cleveland, California, or Indianapolis. It’s going to be nothing but ego and empty posturing. We'll see who's actually left standing to tell the tale after all that noise settles down.🤣

That sounds like something from a different, slightly larger crowd. We don't deal in hunting stories around here, and both the navy and us actually own up to our losses.

Honestly, being able to just own up to a loss or admit you're weak—that’s actually one of the greatest virtues a person can have. But man, there are certain groups out there—especially one specific crowd that thinks they're the toughest players in the galaxy and beyond—who just flat-out refuse to admit when they've been beaten. It’s just how people in those parts of the country are wired, I guess... if that's how it's gotta be, then so be it.

Cleveland and California are basically brothers!! 😁
On a side note... we're finally looking at a legit local derby after all these years. You guys are talking about showing up in force, which is exactly what I'm hoping to see. Honestly, this "regional" rivalry feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the same old matchups we've been stuck with forever.
You guys are riding high right now, and there's no point in dwelling on our current slump. Tomorrow, both sides are going to show up at Santa Monica in huge numbers to lose their voices and clap until their hands hurt. Let's just see who comes out on top... both in the stands and on the field.

Let’s be real for a second... we’re finally looking at a legitimate local derby after years of nothing. You guys are talking about showing up in massive numbers, which is what I’m counting on. This whole regional rivalry feels like the first breath of fresh air we've had in a long time compared to those stale matchups we usually get.
You guys are on a roll right now, and honestly, there's no point even talking about how bad our situation is. Tomorrow, both sides are going to descend on Santa Monica to scream their lungs out. Let's see who actually walks away with the win... on the field and in the stands.

👍

I would absolutely love to make it out to the game, but I’ve run into a bit of a snag!🙂I honestly can't figure out when kickoff is actually happening,😍is it this Saturday or Sunday?😁It seems like I'm getting a different answer everywhere I look.

It’s definitely on Saturday...

So, I ended up making a trip to the eye doctor for absolutely no reason at all, 😍

The navy had maybe 50 more people than the demons today.

And what was the total count for the demon?

Well, they were at least 50 short of the full navy😍. Honestly, I bet there were probably 250 fewer people than expected, especially since they only showed up in three buses, wouldn't you agree?

They showed up with four buses... honestly, things went pretty well lately, both sides. You'll see for yourself in the photos... and what I really appreciate is that there wasn't any insults flying from either side... the only thing was the navy led once where the goat be a bitch, and that's about it....👍

That demon was seriously pushing 250+... the fan rivalry definitely lived up to the hype 👍
Honestly, I’m pretty bummed out by how thin the crowds were for the regular fans. We barely hit 2,000 people at the Santa Monica stadium 👎

The navy was solid. I didn't catch the chanting since I couldn't hear them, but the choreography was top-tier. Serious props there.
The pyrotechnics were decent, and those flags were waving nonstop.
I won't guess at the navy's numbers because I'm terrible at estimating—we had about 250 of us, four buses packed tight.
I can't be objective about our own performance.
All I can say is I'm happy with how it went.

Solid cheering, good turnout, and the pyrotechnics were on point—but honestly, the choreography was pretty lackluster since it lacked any real creativity. Still, I gotta give credit where it's due because you guys actually put something together; it’s been a minute since I’ve seen any choreography on the east side over at Santa Monica. The message itself was poorly executed, though—couldn't even read it from the west side...
I'm waiting on photos from you guys, but the atmosphere in the stands was great. Finally, a decent derby...
