<p>It was a great game, perfect weather, and a highly partisan very vocal crowd that was totally into the game from the perfectly timed flyover leading the Navy team onto the field until the last goal line stand in overtime where Navy denied AF the end zone on eight consecutive plays. </p>
<p>The defense and special teams were huge and the offense negated a very strong AF defense, especially their nose guard.</p>
<p>Concur minus his left-wing pov. Sadly, in that light, he only got the tip of the iceberg of what most of us have determined is top of list in fostering feeling good about God, country, Navy football, and 4,200 “good” guys n gals, everyone wearing a white hat. </p>
<p>We can only imagine this dude’s effervescing scribblings if he loved them like we do …and he should, whatever his political views. They’re the ones who allow him to put in print that he’s nearly a communist, and not have to worry about being gulagged for it. </p>
<p>Imo, he really doesn’t get the sizzle in this steak.</p>
<p>Imagine how to rate USNA Football if factors included Graduation Rates for Athletes (Navy ranks #1), has to have good SATs and GPA to get in to the school and the fact that EVERY athlete is required to get a B.S. degree in 4 years.
How many football players would be disqualified from playing if they had to have completed 2 years of calculus (through differential equations) by the time they were in their 3rd year of college! No soft majors in “underwater basketweaving” or the equivalent. (Even English majors at USNA have to have the courses that make the degree a Bachelor of Science degree!!!)</p>
<p>No doubt in my mind - if we look for the true student athletes - the service academies would top all other colleges …and Navy tops the service academies!!</p>
