The only thing worse than our first half was having to listen to the announcers all game long. Battleship Carrier…that cracked me up almost as much as his “euphemism” comment.
Navy is now 5-2 overall in overtime and have won 5 straight. The win streak started with Pitt in 2007 and was quickly followed by the triple overtime greatness of the win over Notre Dame. I like this trend.
That was some of the worst play-by-play announcing ever… “Battleship carrier”? A sloppy game with a nice outcome. Surely, Coach Ken will have a word or two with the team.
The going for it on fourth down fake only worked because the coaches changed the play after they read my comment about how old and well known their previous fake going for it play was.
Well, I am out of the prognostication business!! Gee whiz! I missed the game–on the road with kids.
Got text updates, and good grief could I have not been more wrong. I hafta love a team that finds a way to win! It shows good coaching, good captains, and overall good leadership! They know that as a team, some group or individual will step-up and find a way.
Proud of the guys. Some more tough ones coming. Sure hope there’s some left in the tank!!

MIke,
I was not wondering, and not being the football analytical wizard you are, I must admit that the AF game looked that way to me while I was watching it real time from NMCS – that AF was playing high risk up the middle. AF, filling all the gaps, was daring Navy to bust one, which we could not.
It also looked immediately on TV Saturday night like SMU was playing the same way on D.
Whether it was SMU just did not have the talent, or whether Navy (O Line, Fullback) learned from the AF game, don’t know. Or maybe both.
But I expect your post-game analysis will fill us dumbies in.
The Birddog 
SMU runs
Navy passes
Just win baby……
Navy turnovers
No SMU turnovers
How did we still win?
Gutty Navy play
Ken made super adjustments
Navy comeback win
A big first half scare
and second half adjustments.
An amazing win.
By the way, what the hell is a battleship carrier? For that matter was anyone able to make sense of most of what the announcers said?

haiku to follow, but the announcers were surprisingly unhomerish
OT victory
number 2 of the season
chili excellent
Field goal wins the game
Navy takes the Gansz trophy
Season is complete?
The entire broadcast team for this game was a bunch of rookies – flat out awful. At least Navy got the W.
Ah not with the chili again!

Your Welcome.
SMU just rushed.
Not the game most expected.
Still, Navy just wins!
Not worth a haiku
But I shoulda wrote one too
Cuz I like all wins
Clutch kicking lately
Still very hard on my heart
Buckley is the man
Great to see the team
rebound after weak first half.
wake forest up next!
The key to this win
Was improving our skill at
Drawing them offsides.
I apologize
For starting the “chili” talk.
But chili is YUM!
I love Ricky Dobbs.
Bad first half, great second half,
Shows true character.
Enjoyed the “chat” during
A great day of college ‘ball.
Go Navy Beat Wake!
Oops, 6 syllables
in one of those lines above.
Bad execution.
Go for it on third …
I SAVED MONEY ON ICE CUBES
How did they score now?
Buckley sets
Buckley kicks
Buckley clutch
GN921 – how about…
Buckley stands ready
The snap. The kick is away
Buckley clutch again!

Really fugly start
But the final score … one word…
Inspirational
Nesbitt looked awesome

Much like Ring Dance night :-(
