Navy (2-0) @ Memphis (3-0) 7pm CT ESPN

[texifornia 59,013]

Kicking the thread off early because this is actually a really good game! Winner should grab a top 25 slot and inside track at the AAC title game.

(I sincerely had no idea Navy had cheerleaders)

For undefeated context, Navy has blown Holy Cross and East Carolina out of the water.

Memphis edged out Ole Miss and whooped Southern and South Alabama.

They're not cheerleaders, they're Midshipwomen.

Who the fuck thought putting hasselback and mcafee in a booth was a good idea? Cause that person needs to be beaten with a rubber hose.

Every. Fucking. Thursday.

They clearly got an edict to tone it down a bit before last week's game, but by the end it was right back to godawful riffing.

[texifornia 59,013]

Holy shit Navy passed! Drink!

[GreenspointTexas 9,968]

What a stop!

Welp. That'll get the crowd back into it.

And that air!

[WBT 20,972]

Good start.  Maybe this will be as good a game as last Thursday.

[texifornia 59,013]

Absolutely love watching the academies play when they're clicking. The option is awesome.

[texifornia 59,013]

Yikes. Perry got crushed.

Also Commodore not being a rank anymore is just an awful waste of that name/vocation.

Edited September 27, 2019 by texifornia

other did you know: commodore wasn't a rank until the civil war.

The only time McAfee is palatable is when he stops trying to joke around and just breaks down kicking form.

[Zavala 1,384]

Holy shit the 12th man story is real and it's an actual military academy and badass player with Malcom Perry???

[WBT 20,972]

What a jailbreak, two guys free in the backfield.

Malcolm Perry wasn't even dressed for his first game. The QB got hurt and they had to pull him down from the stands and get him suited up for the second half.

[AUS-97HORN 12,050]

I cant be the only surly bastard who giggled at Navy #54's last name right?

 

yes, my inner 12 year old showed up.

nowai.  why have we never seen rd go postal on that?  a real 12th man in the HD era from an actual real live academy.   that's like the worst aggy nightmare evar.

[texifornia 59,013]

Memphis O looks like they did during the Ole Miss game. The occasional glimpse of super cool explosiveness and talent and then totally inexplicable uselessness the other 90% of the time.

Here's the Perry story: https://navysports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=15571

Quote

made his collegiate debut in Navy’s opener against Fordham after starter Tago Smith sustained a torn ACL in the second quarter ... did not dress for the game after missing the first three days of practice and playing in the JV game a day prior ... cheering his teammates on, he was pulled out of the stands and dressed by the start of the second half ... entered the game with 38 seconds left in the third quarter and played the entire fourth quarter ... carried the ball seven times for 30 yards and featured a long run of 16 yards ... led a 90-yard drive that ended with a 23-yard field goal by Bennett Moehring.

JV game?  Navy still has a JV team?  Who do they play?

Columbia would usually scrimmage against Army's JV team before the first game of the season.

Looks like Navy's just plays high schools: https://navysports.com/sports/2018/8/14/2018-jv-football-schedule.aspx

EDIT: Here's an explainer on why the academies do it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/navy-football-rolls-deep-with-165-players-and-a-jv-schedule/2016/09/09/a4222dd0-76a0-11e6-be4f-3f42f2e5a49e_story.html

It’s an amenity unique to the service academies because they don’t offer athletic scholarships and thus are not bound by the roster limit of 105 players at other major college programs.

We also have an under 150lb football team.

We had one back when I was there that won a wet T-Shirt contest. She shouldn’t have announced to the crowd after she won that she went to USNA. She got into trouble. Her body was amazing.

I was a plebe when she was a senior. I had to call her Ma’am

Fuck that run back.

Aw hell, Memphis pulling a huge play TD out of their butt every time they start getting out of the game.

[83Horn 1,665]

Navy's D looking pretty salty.

[texifornia 59,013]

Another total blocking whiff from the Memphis line! Yikes.

So maybe they're not supermodels, but there isn't one here that I wouldn't happily shag.  But then again, I'm old.

[WBT 20,972]

I don't get that.  You risk getting stuffed on 4th down in order to get 2 yards closer for the fg?

Gives you a chance to take a shot downfield. And they've gotten within his career long.

Not that it helped
