Navy/Houston

[Jimdish255]

Boy, as much as we have complained about Diaco at the end of game situations, I have no clue why navy wouldn't kick a short field goal to go up 11. Instead they get stuffed on 4th down, and Houston is only down 8. I'm now rooting for Houston, because i hate stupidity...

Who are you rooting for after the safety?

Cougar center snaps a world record for distance.

UH just shot themselves in the foot. Bad punt snap for a safety 10 pt lead Navy. The Houston playoff dream dying, or at least the perfect season one.

Undefeated dreams. Playoff dreams. Big 12 dreams.

The referees...

Playing the percentages. Also figuring Houston hasn't been able to stop them from having extended drives. Worse case scenario, Houston ties the game. Of course, the safety makes it a moot point.

AAC East is still in our control. Houston and Navy are in the AAC West. USF, UCF, ECU and Temple in East and on our schedule.

East - Conf/Overall
USF 2-0 5-1
UCF 1-0 3-2
Temple 1-1 3-3
UConn 1-2 3-3
East Carolina 0-2 2-4
Cincinnati 0-3 3-3

USF has no conference losses. If we beat them but nobody else does, they win the east, therefore it is not within our control.

The percentages would have been the short field goal and a 2-score game. That's why it's mind boggling to do anything else.

You always do that which your opponent doesn't want you to do. Houston wants a chance to keep it a 1 score game. Don't do that. The safety that followed didn't make it the right call, either...

I agree. Sometimes its better to be luck than good I guess.

That was a helluva pass by Ward for the TD.

Looks like Navy will be getting Houston's Big 12 invite. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, "That's a shame"

Very classy by Herman keeping team on field for the post game Navy traditions after a tough loss

I don't recall if IDIACO did that or not

We should have ended the game against Navy better. Uggg.

Or like, scored in the first quarter.

Good for Navy. I don't like Houston.

Orlando's defense got mauled by Navy today. Not the first time its happened to one of his defenses.

For the AAC I wish Houston had won - needed them in the playoffs
But credit Navy

We did last year, our players went to their side for their fight song.

Yep, I was there. Proud moment for the team. I always root for Army, Navy and Air Force. The only exception would be them facing our Huskies.

Yes he did. The entire team was lined up behind the Navy team.

We still haven't lost a division game. Run the table and we have a shot at the CCG vs one of these teams.

Still doesn't help with my parking pass for Game 8.

 

[UConn79]

Makes our loss to Navy even worse. We had that game !!
