Friday Night Lights: Navy vs.Central Michigan
In the event that anyone would like to watch a little football, we have the 2-3 Navy Midshipmen versus the 2-3 Central Michigan Chippewas, live from Mt. Pleasant on ESPN2.
Central is coming off a 50-35 loss to Toledo, and Navy is coming off their 28-21 OT win versus Air Force.

I did not know that Navy beat Air Force. I just kinda assumed Navy would get beaten after seeing their game against Notre Dame.

They did it despite giving up over 500 yards to Air Force and being more or less outplayed on most meaning offensive metrics.
In this game, not even at the end of the 1st quarter, Navy has exceeded their passing yards in the Air Force game (98 yards now, compare to 74 through the whole AF game).

but I think I have a good idea of just how terrible maize uniformz would be.
October 12th, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
With two passing TD's, of all things.
October 12th, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
Navy has tripled their total of passing TDs to 3 with the last play. 14-3 Navy.
CMU is letting a triple-option team pick them apart from the air, which I would think makes this the QB-RB-FB-XWR-ZWR quintuple option at minimum.

Sipping on Strongbow Hard Cider here....quiet Friday evening to help with a weekend of making arrangements of a funerary nature sadly.

Thanks. This is actually for a sibling sadly. One of my sisters died quite unexpectedly on Tuesday afternoon at all of 30 years of age.

Sorry to hear that man. I'll have a drink and silent thought today for you and your family.

I lost my big sis 10 years ago when she was 58, which was way too young. 30? That's rough. My condolences especially to your folks.

Life ... it is the good!

Florida-purchased Miller products because the Oklahoma-purchased domestics are all stuck at 3.2% alcohol by volume. Not cool.

this drive.
October 12th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
An 11 play drive is capped with a field goal, so it is now 17-3 Navy with a shade over three minutes left until halftime. One of the most glaring stats is that Radcliff is 4 of 7 for 23 yards - it has not been happening in the air so far for the Chippewas. The 56 yards of rushing isn't encouraging either.

with blue cheese stuffed olives. It's been a rigorous week, and by God, this is what the doctor ordered.

Navy gets its third passing TD with that play, and the PAT makes it 31-13 Navy.
Did the Chips understand what triple-option usually entails, or did they sell out against the run so hard that it was inconceivable that someone should even throw a pass?

I really wish these announcers would lay off Ryan Radcliff. He got pulled; we get that he's a senior, we get that he isn't hurt and isn't playing. Sitting there talking about what they would do while trying to play a game (on national TV no less) and how they would play tough guy with their head coach as a college student is beyond annoying.

I remember when CMU was good at football...then it went downhill when they hired a Spartan...

Enos has run that program right into the ground. Once heard a rumor that one of the first things he did upon being hired was to take down a photo of CMU beating MSU that hung in the football offices. Anyway, it won't be long now and he'll be back on the recruiting trail, working for Dantonio. Can't see how he lasts another season in Mount Pleasant. He's been a total disaster. Maybe even worse than Debord?
