Armed Forces Bowl It Is

[revf]

I know you will want to support our university, but...

Tickets are way cheaper through the Bowl website especially if you are buying for lots of people. Families of five or more especially kids may not want to drop $60 bucks a piece.

Friends and Family Pack is 4 tickets, drinks, and hot dogs for $99.00

What is our allotment?

Yes, Navy QB Will Worth is out for the season. Definitely affected their performance vs. Temple. Will be interesting to see how his back-up does vs. Army. I'm sure, whoever it is, with one game under his belt as a starter, that'll be enough experience to whip Baker's pitiful defense.

Navy also lost their starting RB for the season in addition to their QB on Saturday.

I am totally pumped about this game.... obviously my loyalty is with the Bulldogs!!!

Not so obvious to me. Why does "Navy" come first in your name? Gonna have to send some agents to check out your Bulldog loyalty.

How great would this matchup have been last season with Dixon and Reynolds battling it out for the TD record!??

What a great way to end our season! Top 25 opponent, drivable distance, holiday weekend.. see y'all in Ft. Worth! HBTD!!!

We lost in 2009 32-14 at Navy. That was during a 4-8 season under Dooley.

We lost in 2010 37-23 in Ruston (to Navy). That was Dykes' first year, we were 5-7.

So...we have a winning record for the first time as we play Navy. So...who knows?

Top 25 opponent!

Will they be in the top 25?

[SlimJimWillie]

They are right now. Will there be another set of rankings between now and then? Army/Navy is the only game left to play between now and bowl season.

Thanks revf - started a thread just for this

I know there are lots of us that can't afford $60 tix - so $25 each plus hot dog, drinks and chips is AWESOME

More...those Navy teams were under their current coach Ken Niam....tolo? They were 10-4 in 2009 and 9-4 in 2010. Beat Notre Dame both years. Beat Mizzou in a bowl game. So, good Navy teams beating not-so-good Tech teams. Hmmm...

Is this better than Heart of Dallas???

[brtransplant]

Navy will kick our ass. Baker isn't up to the task of being a DC at this level. We absolutely must reassign him at the end of this season and go out and find a proven, seasoned DC somewhere.

Is this better than Heart of Dallas???

It is this year!!

They are right now. Will there be another set of rankings between now and then? Army/Navy is the only game left to play between now and bowl season.

They lost yesterday so they may fall out. I doubt beating Army will put them back in, but it might.

Is this better than Heart of Dallas???

It's different. We've been in the old Cotton Bowl Stadium twice. I like Ft. Worth better than Dallas. Basically the same set up (same committee I believe) for both bowls.

Passing defense sucks, but rushing defense is ok as long as the other team is:

A) not holding our players or
B) is being called on holding our players

Neither of which happened yesterday
