PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Garf would have loved this. Are you kidding?🍰 If Garf were still around, he’d do what presidents always do when they attend the Army-Navy game, spending half the game with the Middies and the other half with the Cadets. 

Garf, he’d give 20 minutes to Arkansas, t🎐hen 20 to St. John’s. 

And may the best team win. 

“Garf,” Pete♏ Gillen says, “woul🅷d’ve rooted for overtime.”
