CBSSports.com has anounced that Microsoft Corporation is ready to sponsor a live webcast of the football match between Army and Navy.It is supposed to be the 109th match between them.The Army-Navy game will return to South Philadelphia on December 6, 2008, as the football teams of West Point and Annapolis square.
The Army-Navy game, one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports, will be powered by Microsoft Silverlight on CBSSports.com, live from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa (12:00 NOON-3:30 PM, ET).
“THE NFL TODAY’s studio analyst Boomer Esiason does double duty as he moves from the studio into the booth to serve as game analyst alongside Ian Eagle for the Army-Navy contest. Sam Ryan serves as reporter.
“As was previously announced, on Saturday, Dec. 6 CBSSports.com and CBS Sports Mobile will also provide live streaming video of the CBS Sports broadcast of the 2008 SEC CHAMPIONSHIP game between *No. 1-ranked Alabama and *No. 2-ranked Florida from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga.

One of the greatest rivalries in college football has called Philadelphia its home for the majority of its history. The fiercely competitive Army-Navy game has been played in Philadelphia for 80 of its 108 years.The current series standing is remarkably even: Navy has 52 wins; Army has 49 wins, while seven games have ended in ties.
As a neutral site conveniently located between the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, Philadelphia was an easy choice for the Army-Navy game, which the city now enjoys as its unofficial bowl game. In 2006, the game will be played in the new Lincoln Financial Field, which will host the Army-Navy game every year through 2009, except 2007.
