farewell to college joys

we sail at the break of day.....and so the biggest day of the year has finally arrived.......The United States Naval Academy and the U.S. Military Academy of West Point meet on the gridiron in the city of brotherly love for the 118th time.......Navy Leads the series 60-50-7.....but no matter what the scoreboard says at the end of the day , AMERICA wins.......for my betting friends ....I urge and implore you to load up on the NAVY....I have watched both teams.....pay no attention to records.....Navy has 5 losses......3 to top 20 teams ( UCF, @Memphis, @ND).......another on the road to a very tough Houston squad the morning after Thanksgiving, and one clunker on the road at Temple with a QB still suffering from a concussion ( and it showed, the offense was never in sync)........Navy has one glaring weakness......Pass Defense......Army has played entire games without even attempting a pass.....I fully expect a 17 point win today for the Calamari Squids......Anthony Gargulio ( the Pride of Colts Neck High School) will not be stopped..........the weather is the only monkey wrench.....Abbey has been careless with the football at times this year.....the only way Navy does not dominate is if they turn the ball over too many times........as most of my readers know we are having a fundraiser for the game today in PC's Pub in Bayridge......raising $$ for the PAWS OF WAR....a non profit group that rescues dogs from kill shelters and trains them to be service dogs for Veterans in need....stop by if you can.......and Gooooooooooo Navy !

Better stick with your day job based on your prognostication! Congrats on what you did for Paws of War.

In fairness to me....I based my prediction on the unstoppable Anthony Gargulio.... unfortunately an ankle injury kept him off the field...zero carries.....and I mentioned the weather....the snow greatly restricted the outside pitch, which is our bread and butter....hats off to Army...they deserved to win
