Rowe / Jacobson Army-Navy Game Payoff Complete

Posted on by

Saturday, the Navy Midshipmen beat the Army Black Knights 17-3 to notch their eighth straight win in the annual Army-Navy game.

This year some gubernatorial fun was had between candidates Steve Rowe and Matt Jacobson, who made a friendly wager on the outcome of the game.  Rowe is a West Point grad, and Jacobson attended the Naval Academy – who they bet on is obvious.

The loser was to wear the other team’s jersey/apparel in a photo.  This year, that was Mr. Rowe.

This afternoon, Major General John W. Libby, Adjutant General of the Maine National Guard, hosted the two candidates at his office at Camp Keyes in Augusta for the trade off. The event, while a result of the bet, was meant to pay tribute to all veterans.

The result of the bet was tweeted by Jacobson earlier today:
