Notre Dame is on its bye week, and Navy is next on Halloween at Gillette Stadium, so the Golf Doc, Dr. Michael Maier, hears from the other side of the Service Academy family.

Two members of the West Point Class of 1991 join the show:

• Otto Leone, Army quarterback (one-for-one, 64 yards vs. Temple, a perfect day), Ranger School grad and Notre Dame MBA

• John Robb, Army linebacker and co-captain of the 1990 team, founder of The Stone Creek Group in Denver and longtime WPAOG investment committee member

We cover calculus class on Saturday morning before kickoff at Michie Stadium, plebe boxing and swimming, why Army-Navy is unlike any rivalry in football, wearing gas masks during a Desert Storm senior year, life after the Army, Champions Golf Club and Jackie Burke, and why the West Point network is unrivaled. We also honor the people who brought this episode together: Dr. Tom Parr, Joannie Parr and Bill York.

Plus: a 1990 Sports Illustrated with Rick Mirer on the cover and John on the inside, and the advice they'd give a high school recruit choosing between NIL money and West Point.
