And, it started at 8 AM here in CDST. What you call a real early start.
It's half time with Notre Dame up 27-3. They are the visitors, but, are they REALLY the visitors since the game is being played in Dublin, Ireland? Let's see, the Fighting Irish playing in Ireland. You figure.
A great start to the football season, even though there have already been games Thursday and Friday. This is the part of the season for us mid level 1A football schools to get torn up by the Big Boys, but once in awhile, there is a real big upset.
The fact that Navy is playing in the game also commemorates the role the U.S. Navy played in the War of 1812, in which that branch of the military really came of age and proved itself, thankfully as the Army sure was a disappointment for the most part. As you know, we are now commemorating (celebrating, but you don't celebrate war) the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.
