Happy to have them finally aboard the ship.

Yes, good to have you in the AAC, Navy

Welcome aboard Navy! See you at Nippert Dec 5th

Couldn't be prouder than to share a conference with our Naval Academy midshipmen.

Welcome, great to have you in the American.

Welcome aboard, Midshipmen!

They need some fans here...

Navy should have a legit shot at playing for your conference championship this season. Their game against AF in Crab Town/Annapolis will no doubt prove to be another slug fest and live up to its growing reputation as one of the most entertaining college football games to watch no matter what program you support.

Squids have the advantage playing at home, but I'll put my AF Blue colored glasses on and predict the Falcons SINK Navy by 3!

Same goes for me. For those who want to go a step further in welcoming them, here is a link to their Scout forum: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=240&f=243..._172280582

As a Navy civilian I am both excited and happy to welcome the midshipmen to the AAC. Welcome!

The naval academy is truly one of the Great Institutions in our country. Congrats AAC. Now, back to reality! Looking at their schedule and Antioch, Tennessee native Keenan Reynolds at QB, Navy is gonna beat a bunch of you folks this year and every year! Having witnessed firsthand the precision crackback, trap, crab, and chop(yes ) blocks in our bowl game with the Midshipman; I can assure you they are impressive. Play after play and they don't give up an inch! So, protect your knees!

As a mid-atlantic Coog, I'm STOKED to have Navy in the conference!

They're so glad to have you that they've started a huge thread about leaving, and who gets to leave first.

hahahahaha

As a Navy Alum, former player and still active duty sailor, I want to say thanks for the warm welcome! I am spreading the word about the board...this day has been a long time coming and we think we are a good fit with your fine institutions! GO NAVY!

They have some very nice things to say on their website about joining the American.

I found this interesting... if its so hard, is Army next?

Quote:Independence had become outdated for the Naval Academy. Scheduling and TV contracts were being monopolized by the conferences and we felt that we had to join a conference in order to be able to maintain the stature we've enjoyed for so many years.

Welcome Aboard Navy, it's an honor to share a conference with you!

Welcome Navy! Honored to share a conference with the Midshipmen
