Why Navy likes to play us!

Postby EastStang » Wed Oct 14, 2009 9:57 am

There was an interesting article in today's Washington Post about Navy's series with us.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/13/AR2009101302214.html

The short answer is "recruiting" and similarity of programs (i.e. winnable games).

"(Navy) expects more than 5,000 of its fans to attend Saturday's game against SMU at 32,000-seat Gerald J. Ford Stadium."

That's a good turnout for the visitors. Hope we have a good turnout, too.

I'd think we will have a crowd of around 19-22K for this game. Very respectable and thank you Navy for bringing fans.
Back off Warchild seriously.
