YAAAAAAY! NAVY

[Spook86]

As a retired Air Force officer, I've got to hand it to the Mids--after that Spirit mission, victory in the football game was almost preordained. Something tells me the Navy exchange cadets at the "Zoo" will be on lockdown before the game next year. BTW, it's impressive how Navy has resurrected its football program; nice to have some competition for a change.

Then of course, there's Army. They lost today to that gridiron powerhouse, Central Michigan. The Black Knights of the Hudson don't exactly strike fear in the hearts of their opponents--at least on the football field.

So,
I gather that means you're happy about it ;)

WOO HOO! GO NAVY!

[alisasny]

Aren't you a good sport : ))

Husband and I had such a big discussion on how this stunt was pulled off. I say it was planned for years , he says one person someone got someone on base to look the other way so they could get the painting done.

Either way it's great..... : )))

I'm not a Zoomie (USAFA grad), so I can't say how "tight" security is at night. But the cadets aren't supposed to be roaming the campus late at night, so the Mids get some kudos from me for mission planning and execution. I only hope our AFA kids can repay the favor next year. Navy better make sure the goat--both the statue and the live version.

BTW, this may be the second greatest Academy prank ever pulled. I'm still partial to the Army cadets who painted "Beat Navy" on the hull of a Navy destroyer anchored in NY harbor, the week before the Army-Navy game.

But this year --- You loose

[USNBandit]

That is awesome. I can't believe they got that whole thing painted without getting caught. Usually exchange students spend that whole week being terrorized. Somebody put those kids in for a NAM!

[Plutarch]

How did NAVY do against STANFORD?

[JRios1968]

Not me, I have nothing at stake, since I actually had a life while going to college and earning my commission (ROTC grad.) Bragging rights (and the shame) at this game go to the ringknockers, and I am proud to say I am not one.

However, it was nice to put the whole thing in perspective.

Actually, I did leave. However, I felt it necessary to give props to the Academy boys. I will not be posting at all in the future, and will be only lurking. I am only responding to you to set the record straight. Pukin is gone.


Huh?

[Dick Vomer]

Never, they might have to get those white uniforms dirty ;)

[USNBandit]

I thought it was because Marines can't read, which is required in college.

Just kidding, I had a guy in my company at USNA that played offensive line. I was pretty impressed watching him play against teams whose linemen outweighed them by 75lbs a man. I was even more impressed when he cut 60lbs between the end of football season and graduation to get ready for Marine TBS.
