As for the game, I don't buy all the triple option is so hard to defend blah blah blah.... if that were the case they'd just beat everyone. I think it comes down to are we big enough up front to stuff the run and do we have the speed behind it to contain. I hope the weather isn't the big equalizer taking away our passing game.

Georgia Tech sure won some games they shouldn't have when they started running the triple option. Now,however, it looks like their ACC opponents have figured it out. I hope we have learned a thing or two since last year.

I should have skipped the Tulane trip and gone to the Navy game.

Make sure you make time to visit the tomb of John Paul Jones, located below the chapel at USNA. Most Amazing, read the history, he was quite something, and the story of how he came to be at USNA is worth the trip. The library is a must see, you could spend many hours in the place. Enjoy the campus/facility, meet some of the best and brightest at USNA, ask them questions, they love the place. Most of all enjoy the city, learn the history, and go have a drink where George Washington loved to go and nearly got his but shot for messing with the tavern owners wife.

Tom, the Navy has offered my daughter's soon to be husband a position as dentist at USNA when he finishes dental school. They have also talked with her about being a nurse practitioner at USNA. They are seriously thinking about it.

Hey, about GW, as the story goes, if he had not moved his head just slightly to the left, he would not have been our first president.

Yes & no. GT also hasn't had the athletes, especially at QB over the last several years to really excel at Paul Johnson's version of the triple option. Combine that with familiarity by the opponents & it has made life tough for GT.
