I am not talking about that Statler, I was talking about the fans on their feet cheering and just the general feeling in the air. It was nice. We took a good Navy team to OT and we had our chances to win. There is nothing to hold our head down about. I think we might need to put McNeal in a slot position every once and a while too. He is clearly our most explosive player along with ES.

Look I respect what your saying....But we had the better team tonight...better athletes....
After 20 years of "nothing to hold our heads' down about" that is unacceptable...
JJ got paid $166,666.66 for that game and to avoid stuff like that...

I think I conveyed the wrong tone my fellow alum. I was just focusing on something else. We're good.

I find no comfort in moral victories at this point.

guess that's why they hauled that thing away after one blast. And thank you to the aTm corps of cadets for manning the thing too.

For those not at the game, the 3 F18 flyover was so loud that my 16 month old son now cringes every time he hears a jet go by, 3 days later - and he wasn't even at the game. He was INSIDE our house in the M Streets with my wife. Now that's loud.

They hit the afterburners right over the top of the stadium--you could see the blue flames coming out the back. That was the coolest.

And the timing was perfect. A beat after the last note of The National Anthem.
