I spent the entire flight back this morning trying to think of something poetic to say. I'm still thinking, and as I spend the afternoon trying to finish up odds and ends I continue to ponder the right words to say about Saturday evening. I'll let you know if I come up with anything, but for now, this will have to do:
Random Navy fans were hugging me, Notre Dame fans shaking our hands and offering us congratulations, and I even had a "Yes!" shouting match with some kid who ran up to me at some point during the celebration. In all, it was the mot amazing thing I've ever witnessed at a sporting event, and maybe even in my whole life. I only wish every Navy fan could of been there in that cold twilight yesterday evening, because God knows there are many more individuals who have suffered through this streak on a much deeper, longer level than I could even imagine. Like Paul Johnson said, this one is for you guys.
GO NAVY!

How sweet to have been there!
Did you leave the ticket intact?
Where were your seats (from NAAA I would assume)?
Where did you stay and for how long and did you have any Navy festivities (parties) the night before?
I am curious because I want to go there for our 3rd straight in 2 years and get all the logistics from someone who knows.
I would say the crowd was respectful-yet still shocked.
I was surprised really as I thought even though its on their field that they would have given the team a rousing cheer and send off for its 43 years of trying (guess thats too respectful eh?).
I just wish we had more there to charge the field but that looked controlled- any chance you got down there?
We all knew the day had to come..it was just a matter of beating the grim reaper to see it.
For those who could not survive I am sure the gates were painted in Blue & Gold up there.
Great time-great stories-great people all on these blogs...
Lovin it- but still
BEAT NORTH TEXAS!
