      Storyline

      Did you know

      • Trivia
        McLean Stevenson (Henry Blake) pitched the idea for this episode to the show's producers simply by asking, "How pissed would these guys be if they were attacked in the middle of a football game?"
      • Goofs
        The camp is tuned in for a live afternoon broadcast of the Army-Navy football game. However, a live broadcast of a game that was played in the afternoon in the United States (as all Army-Navy games of that era were) would be airing in the middle of the night in Korea.

        • Maj. Frank Burns: We've got to evacuate immediately!
        • Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: I think I did.
