Not to diminish the Navy’s awesome victory, but hasn’t ND been having a really crappy season?

huh. I watch about 1.5 football games every fourth year or so. wouldn’t call myself a sports fan in anything.…but, thank Gawd you weren’t posting something about B***ball (I can’t even bring myself to TYPE that awful blasphemous word on Sunday!) LOL!
Go Navy! well done.
(Ward, the Sunday supplement is always good…sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, sometimes.…well, sporty. my thanks, it’s always a nice diversion)
PS: off the beaten path, but worth a look: if you haven’t seen it yet, theres’ a Youtube up on that wild 15 lateral, 7 player touchdown of Trinity…Look it up!

Simm:
If you only understood what this meant to we USNA grads, you’d realize that your dissatisfaction with this post is like a fart in a hurricane.
Please feel free to go elsewhere for your “military, law enforcement and national security” news, brother. That or take a deep breath and relax!
Best wishes,

I never thought I’d feel sorry for Notre Dame. That being said, great job Navy!

Yeah, you’re right about improving leadership and teamwork, but the “With that kind of determination and heart,” => ” it’s safe to say the future of our Navy and Marine Corps is very bright.” implication doesn’t hold with me.
I’ve seen a lot of articles off the beaten path, maybe it’s time to change the byline.
Thanks for the reply anyway, Ward.

Simm:
The Sunday Paper is a feature that’s off the beaten path. (It’s Sunday, after all.)
And in response to your last comment, the reason the service academies have sports programs is (as anyone who’s ever played organized sports at the college level knows) they teach lessons about leadership and fortitude that can’t be learned anywhere else. If you think those don’t matter once the shooting starts then you obviously haven’t been there.

what the HELL?
what the shit does this have to do with “the future of the military, law enforcement and national security”?
Ignoring that, what does a good game have to do with “future of our Navy and Marine Corps”?
