Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) 150th anniversary of college football. In November 1869, the first college football game was played between Princeton University and Rutgers University. In the 150 years that have followed, college football has become one of America's favorite pastimes. I, for one, enjoy rooting for the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers, the University of Kentucky Wildcats, and for my alma mater, the U.S. Military Academy. Congratulations to the NCAA and all of the talented athletes on 150 years of college football--and here's to 150 more. Go Army, Beat Navy.
