Hello 6-6,

Looks to me as one of these three will beat us this year: Duke, AF, or Temple. Most likely is AF.

Unless the D improves greatly, we won’t be within striking distance of WF, Pitt or ND (yes, I saw the ND-SDSU game).

Sorry if I have worn you down FBD and in some cases yes- absolutely what I said was to “get a rise” but if its taken on the form of becoming too serious then make your comments and move on.
But some guys here are way too serious and easily offended and if people cant take stuff they dont want to hear then what fun is it?
You look around and Navy boards get minimal if any interest and when someone actually shows interest but their views are not the same?
Well guys if you want to treat your boards like the Academy itself and take all the personality out of it-then enjoy.

Gary, … You are sadly mistaken here, … and either your “sources” are way “out to lunch”, … or you just are spewing out b/s to “get a rise” out of regular posters.

Bryant was given equal, if not MORE, of an opportunity to compete for the Navy starting QB job –> especially early on (Don’t forget the 2005 Pointsettia Bowl where he came in to run at least an entire series @ QB –> Kaipo ran reps as a WR his Plebe year). When it came to running the PJ TO offense, … Kaipo just beat him out plain & simple.

There are now (and have been) lots of talented kids on these Navy football teams that would have given their left testicle to have goten even a fraction of the game PT/opportunity that JB has gotten so far in his USNA football career. –> You insult them w/ this “JB never got his fair shake” crap!!!

You don’t know what the hell you are talking about, … and now have used up any “good will” with this Navy fan. Just stop –> It’s become pathetic.

did you ever stop to think for a second that if he was given these proverbial “keys to the car,” the car would end up wrapped around a tree?

Yeah and after watching Ball State I may have to stand corrected.
But then again the kid was not given the “keys to the car” like Kaipo was given.
He NEVER got the chance to show what he could do as a full time QB and never will- so at this rate whats best for the team would be making the optimum use of JB`s talents.

Gary-Weren’t you the guy that has been saying for three years that JB was the better QB?

Inconsistent “O”
Could not make up for Navy’s
Insufficient “D”

Let’s not forget that Navy took opening half kick off back and scored in ~4 plays and TOOK the lead. So, I don’t buy that they were not into the game.

Turning point was not punching it on on 4th and goal in second possession of Q3. Game, set, match.

Tackling was poor. Ball State QB was rushed on only one pass which was intercepted.

Looking ahead, Duke will be tougher this year. New coach has’em playing decent ball. Rutgers is beatable. Saw their opening game against Fresno State: no offense, not much better defense. WF will have to play sub-par game for us to beat them. Pitt’s beatable. Temple will be much tougher. ND game too much of a wild card.

We should be OK. Defense has to improve so that offense doesn’t have to score EVERY time they get the ball.
