AMAZING! $50.00 (like homecoming was going to draw those purchases) to $5.00 Tickets...and Navy is a better draw (opponent-wise) than East Carolina.

I can only assume with the students and others being away for Thanksgiving weekend plus an 11am kickoff this game won’t draw much besides a few extra Navy fans. Tulane could make the tickets free and it probably wouldn’t bump attendance all that much.

I like Robert Kennedy and hope he's back, but I think we really need Cam Sample who made the trip to Houston, participated in pre-game warm ups, but wasn't ready to go.

So do I. Our young guys up front will be in a trial by fire situation. I hope the older guys are healthy to free up Graham/Teamer on inside-out pursuit. The corners are going to have to play strong in run support.

Robert Kennedy's career is over with a torn ACL:

Thanks for all your efforts. Hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

Sample is expected back.

That's a huge loss. I hope Robert recovers quickly and wish him the best post college.

We had a few other players go down. I hadn’t heard anything about their condition.

Over $1000 for my football season tickets then
having someone walk up and pay $5 to get in!

Navy played Notre Dame, UCF, Cincinnati, Temple & the AAC West. Take a good look at who Army played this year:

Army made a wise choice to remain independent for their football program. Bring on Colgate!
I'll take the Mids this December in Philadelphia.

We played teams worse than Colgate, which has a D that is VERY VERY good..

And I'll be happy to wager on the Black Knights of the Hudson versus Navy. Straight up.

Has Fritz ever defeated Navy - even going back to his Georgia Southern days (2014)?

This game will be intriguing.

Best I can tell he's 0-4.

2014 GaSo @ Navy L 19-52
2015 TUL @ Navy L 14-31 IIRC, in that game it was only 17-14 early in the 4th. That was a roster of mostly all CJ players
2016 TUL vs Navy L14-21 Tulane led 14-13 until the last Navy drive.
2017 TUL @ Navy L 21-23 Early safety ended up being the margin of victory

He's played them close every year at Tulane, with less talent than he has now, and against better Navy teams. Lets hope this is the year he gets his first win against them.

Interesting, but its really hard to tell just how good Colgate is, since they play NOBODY. Five shutouts, 2 games of 3, and one of 6 points, but all against average FCS schools.. But when they play a real FBS school, they gave up 28.

C'Mon, you can still get that Porsche or BMW when we beat Navy.. Or, how about bucking the trend and having some fun.
