Well, it's halftime and boy we look uninspired. And uninspiring. Navy came to play, and it's showing on the scoreboard. I thought our momentum had shifted after our TD and then our stop of them, but then a punt drops dead inside the 5, we have a lackluster set of plays culminating in DC throwing into triple covereage and then our defense reverts to its "we can't play the option" ways.
Their first drive was really sickening. On the two long plays, their ball carrier moved 50 and 30 yards on two different plays UNTOUCHED by the defense. Ain't gonna stop the option that way. They've thrown two passes, one for a TD and one for a completely stupid pass interference call.
And Navy gets the ball to start the second half. Godfather's always talking about half time adjustments. Well, never have we needed an "adjustment" more than we do in the next 15 minutes.
I hope we don't panic and put Floyd in the game. He's not the reason we're not winning, and he can't make any tackles on the Navy offensive ball carriers.
I'm glad I didn't blog before the game. I was feeling cocky and was going to predict a 31-10 win. Ha!
GO IRISH!!!! BEAT MIDDIES!!!!

The worst part for you has to be that it appears that you're actually stationed in front of an HD TV for this one. Might not be as painful from your iPhone.
I'm with you, Colonel. Not feeling so great about this one. Plus I keep getting updates live from the game, but at the hands of my nephew, a sophomore at the Academy, who is delighting in sending me little notes about how well the Middies are performing today. He gets to sit at the children's table at Thanksgiving this year!
Our clan had to rely on Blackberry updates and Tweets from my son. There was NEVER anything good on either channel. How utterly disappointing but at least I can delete the recording with extreme prejudice.
Was the game not on in your areas or were you out and about today? It was on CBS here in LA.
We were at my Mom's 80th birthday party!
Well, that's a victory indeed! Congratulations to her!
