Army/Navy still expecting to play the game this year, even if it's the only game both schools play.  

The last time they missed a game?  In 1918, in the middle of the Spanish Flu.

That makes it kinda SUPER exciting in a way. These guys prepping 4 months for the game? I love it (not really, want more football, but it's got the story).

The Southern Conference tried 68 years ago to cancel Clemson-South Carolina to punish the former for playing in a bowl the previous season. It not only led to the law requiring them to play, but also led to Clemson, SC, Maryland, and the Tobacco Road 4 to withdraw from the SoCon to form the ACC in 1953. The SoCon was never the same, to the point where its two largest remaining schools, West Virginia and Virginia Tech, left by 1970, followed by its demotion to FCS in 1982.

The state of South Carolina will fight tooth and nail to ensure the law requiring Clemson and SC to play is enforced.
