USNA

I went to the Naval Academy yesterday to watch the Midshipmen play the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

Yes they are the Hilltoppers. I wish i had a shot of their mascot. he looked kinda like the purple blob thing from McDonalds, but he was all red.weird.

anyway, it was spitting rain around game time but though nothing of it. (by the end of the game i was soaked! and jeans are NOT comfotable damp)

it was so much fun! i had never been to a live college football game. just fantastic! music blaring through the speakers, the midshipmen (and women) bringing in the air of excitement as they came into the stadium, and the third string players warming up on the field.

the one side of the stadium looks like a side profile of a ship with all its layers. averytime the navy got a touchdown, this horn blew like from a ship, the cannon boomed, and the plebes had to tun out onto the side of the field and so twenty pushups which of course they amde look so easy.

they paraded the live goat (the mascot of the navy) down the side lines. it was quite comical scene the goat did not want to walk, period. he just planted his feet and dug in. he even made a midshipman trip. poor guy.

my friend chelsea and her mama took me.chelsea's boyfriend plays for the navy. go molloy! chelsea wore one of his old jerseys and i was decked out in navy blue, head to toe:)
