Anchors Aweigh: The 1963 Navy Midshipmen, a Football Force for the Ages

Few teams in college football history have captured the imagination and garnered the respect of the 1963 Navy Midshipmen. Led by the legendary Roger Staubach and coached by the stoic Wayne Hardin, this squad carved its name into the annals of gridiron glory, etching a legacy of precision, power, and unwavering determination.

We have the pleasure of having two expert guests tell the tale of the '63 Midshipmen: The Sports Time Traveler, Len Ferman, and Greg "Giffer" McGiffney - 1985 graduate of the Naval Academy and huge Navy football supporter.

Read Len's famous tribute to this 1963 team.

The mastermind behind The Sports Time Traveler™ on Substack. In his newsletter and podcast the premise is that I travel back in time virtually to provide the excitement of sporting events from long ago as though they were happening now. My “rule of sports time travel” is that I can only travel back exactly 5 – 10 decades ago to cover events. Not just on one sport, he covers all sports.
