Erin Go Beat the Midshipmen

So here we go, once more into the breach, my friends.

Well, not us, really. But it really feels like “us” on Saturday afternoons sometimes, doesn’t it?

And in this case, Saturday morning. EARLY Saturday morning for those of us on the left coast. But that’s OK. I hung out my flag this afternoon to ensure I didn’t forget at oh-dark-thirty when I get up tomorrow to watch the game. And yes, if you were wondering, two of the LA area game watch “establishments” will be open for business by kickoff—Bloody Marys, Eggs and Football. It just doesn’t get any better than that!

Lots of new faces in key positions this season, as Godfather notes. I hope the O-line is as solid as he purports. A 75-25 run/pass ratio would definitely point to a three TD victory margin, at least.

So, my boss’ boss is a former Midshipman—he’s not predicting a great or even good year for Navy, so that bodes well, I think. Or maybe he’s just a pessimist like me!
Anyway, I think this one should be a solid win for our boys in blue and gold, not my boss’ boss’ boys in blue and gold.

In other news, root for Michigan tomorrow night against Alabama. They’re two TD underdogs, and it would be great for them to win and have us beat them in three weeks. MSU won a tough one tonight, and Stanford is winning. Root for all of our opponents to be undefeated when we play them!

And I don’t think I’ve ever picked the same exact score as Don, so I won’t here.

ND 35, Navy 13.

GO IRISH!!! BEAT MIDSHIPMEN!!!
