Go Army, beat Navy!

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Only a slight chance of precip in Missoula Friday night, which is unfortunate--this squall during the first half against Delaware last week was absolutely epic:

Navy is dressing like submarines this year. Haven't seen Army's costume yet.

[Ale Xander]

Getting decent weather too
High in the low 50’s
Overcast dry

[canderson]

Army's unis honor the 3rd Infantry that served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I think I like Navy's better this year.

Gameday is there and Belichick is the guest picker.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Montana's midfield bear logo is so dope.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Oh wow, went to bed at the half but Montana won in overtime. I thought they looked like the better team in the first half and sort of expected them to pull away in the second.

 

[Ale Xander]

What time does BB come on? 11:45?

 

[Ale Xander]

Ok here we go!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

Where’s Bill????

 

[Ale Xander]

There he is

 

[Ale Xander]

How does he remember this???

 

[shawnrbu]

BB wearing the Jolly Roger.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Coach for life. Don’t ever leave us Bill.

 

[shawnrbu]

45 mph wind in South Dakota. First punt by Villanova hits the upback.

Watching this as I pack for vacation. Should be interesting battling that headwind.

You mean South Dakota State

regular South Dakota is starting up now on ABC

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice conversion!

 

[Ale Xander]

TD Bizon on a courageous QB run

 

[shawnrbu]

Villanova punts down by 11 with 6 minutes to go.

 

[Ale Xander]

Bye Nova

 

[Ale Xander]

Go Belichicks Beat Non-Belichicks

 

[shawnrbu]

BB interviewed by Jenny

 

[Ale Xander]

BB for President!
Jenny for Secretary of State!

 

[shawnrbu]

Heidenreich with a blitzkrieg.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Army's crazy to be going for these. Navy's not going to be able to move the ball. Just punt and get the ball right back.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Dear god Arline, I don't think sliding down four yards short of the first down line is going to work in this game.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Unbelievable.

 

[shawnrbu]

Nice pick.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

I like Newberry. But this is not a well-run team right now.

 

[JOBU]

Horrible spot. Don’t think they can overturn

 

[Awesome Fossum]

I know this isn't how the rule is written, but sure seems like they should be able to just re-spot the ball based on video evidence and then determine if it's met the line to gain or not.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

That is a back breaker.

 

[Ale Xander]

NDSU can win the title beating the 6, 3, 2, and 1 seeds in the playoffs and all of them in 2 bordering states
Wild

 

[shawnrbu]

Missed call keeps Navy in the game.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Got to get points here. There's only so many possessions left at this point.

 

[shawnrbu]

I don’t remember Navy having this many miscues under Coach Ken.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

I don’t remember Navy having this many miscues under Coach Ken.

Not even close.

 

[shawnrbu]

Loving the forward passing game from Navy though.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

WTF Navy

 

[JOBU]

That will do it

 

[Ale Xander]

Crapola

 

[Brand Name]

Backbreaking turnover driving on a potential game-tying drive, late in the fourth. Belichick has ties to said team. Game is in Foxborough.

We sure this isn't a Pats game?

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Dear god, going for two in this situation makes sense for teams with competent offenses.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

These rolls on Army punts are Navy's best offense today.

 

[cshea]

Short but damn.

 

[shawnrbu]

Looks like they are going to overturn it.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I think the overhead shot shows him in but it’s so close
