I've watched members of my own family who played D-1 sports for state schools get treated like crap all in the name of more money for alums' fevered dreams of football and basketball dynasties. <br /><br />The true student-athletes who compete in "minor sports" at the D-1 level generally do it for love of the game and they are a joy to watch. They also train just as hard as those in the "major sports" and get far, far less for it, but they retain their self-respect when they receive their diplomas.<br /><br />I love watching the academies play each other, particularly the annual Army-Navy football game. To me, that epitomizes that to which the "powerhouses" should aspire, real college students with smarts engaging in athletic competition.<br /><br />The class the Mids and Cadets display on and off the field sets them so far above the strutting dopes one sees in other college games and more often in the pros.Old Gator Sailornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-21357529428626785952010-02-20T11:54:47.000-05:002010-02-20T11:54:47.000-05:00There is a reason they keep selling "A house ...There is a reason they keep selling "A house divided" license plates here in AL..............Skippy-sannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-64366833293796885992010-02-20T11:47:49.000-05:002010-02-20T11:47:49.000-05:00Life is too short for that crap.

Sweep it under the rug to appease the nuts (er, fans) you've described, and then push them on the fleet as 'leaders'. It's indeed a human condition, but with Navy the results can be more disastrous. It's clear where Navy priorities are; winning games.DM05noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-49337827426229970862010-02-20T09:36:47.000-05:002010-02-20T09:36:47.000-05:00Some people get worked up over nothing, like the p...Some people get worked up over nothing, like the people who get road rage over being passed.
