Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Wow, she’s really going out on a limb to predict blue and gold will win.
Game watch at hennessey’s downtown if you want to come.
Ah, you know how those oracles can be. But as for hennessey’s, sounds like fun! If I can get free from the crushing burden of catching up on homework.
Ugh.
Would it make any difference if I were to point out that the oracle of Delphi had visions after inhaling vapors from the ground? Basically, the poor girl was stoned out of her mind.
That being the case, I hate Notre Dame, and I hope she’s right. Go Navy!
Blue and Gold already beat Notre Dame once this year!

She’s the very picture of a sailing man-o-war figurehead. With her tank top steering “full and by”…the wind, of course.
GO NAVY
Maxfield Parrish must be spinning…
“Rutgers for God’s sake” is 7-0 and is the real deal this year. No shame in that one.
Dave
*whispers in Lex’s ear….blue and gold baby… blue and gold…..*
re- “lost to Rutgers”
33- Zip ain’t “lost to” that’s slaughtered by. Big East is suprisingly strong.
I don’t know who that gal is sitting on what looks to be the “seat of ease”, but she appears to be more human scrifice, ala the Inca’s or Mayan’s, vice an Oracle.
Tell me again why the 4000 “person” Naval Academy needs to be in Div-1?
B2
Eric-
I am sorry, but you are sorely mistaken. In these here parts (being SE Michigan), that’s Maize and Blue…
Anyway, GO NAVY!!!
Navy needs to be Div-1 because we are 5-2, 8-4, 10-2, and 8-5 in the last four years in Div-1, also the D1 football program happens to pay for 30 other non-revenue sports without a federal tax dollar in sight. Try doing that as a I-AA, won’t happen.
Go Navy!
U-S-C
Lex, why waste your time watching that game, do something constructive, get your sticks & lets go to Torrey 
The University for Spoiled Children?
And TP sounds goood right about now. Being in class.
Ugh.
LOL, I’ll remember that next time I see my niece, she’ll love it.
re- “happens to pay for 30 other non-revenue sports without a federal tax dollar in sight”
Oh. Wow…. Sort of like a giant MWR, eh?

Badbob,
I’m sure you’ve been told this many times before, you’re a nearly perfect ahole.
Not that many times Bill C. At least to my face Mr. C! “Perfect” never entered into it either. Butt thanks!
I’ll desist now and let you sensitive Boat Schoolers carry on. Sorry to piss on your parade.
B2
I dunno. As I recall, in simple fighters being called an “ahole” was kind of a chuck under the chin – meant you were part of the club.
Wasn’t like that in light attack, though. And in strike fighters we were too busy saving the world (and begging for gas) to give anyone else a hard time.
You never knew who you might piss off, and later see again overhead at angels 6…
Bill – try decaf.
B2- LOL, again.
Lex – Defending Bob and Tomcats? What’s gotten into you? You sound like Ima Fake…

I will be watching from the aft deck of the “Barco Sin Vela”, while watching the Blues airshow thang.
Only two games worth watching, and this is one of ‘em! I especially like how the Head Coach of ND cut off a TV interview last year, to join his team singing with the Navy team. Said it was more important for him and his team to pay respects.
I hope the Navy can do it in ’06!
I attended Navy/Air Force a few weeks back. So sorry to say that Navy couldn’t pass if their life depended on it (which it did against Rutgers)… They have a great ground game this year, grinding out 3-5 yds again and again but, football in the air, ain’t gonna happen… Terrific punter, actually better than the punter for the Broncos. But, he’s not gonna win games for you…
I’ll be up at West Point for the Air Force/Army game, rooting for Air Force! If they win then the CIC trophy is all but in the bag for Navy. However, I have huge doubts about Navy against N.D.
GO NAVY!
I’m pulling for Navy to beat Notre Dame this year and end the drought. Yes, you are hearing this from a once beleagured Rutgers fan but I’ll take the Middies over the Irish any day.
Go, Navy!
Eric-
Mich. fans may curse you for calling the maize, of maize and blue, gold.
But that aside:
Go ND!
God, Country, Notre Dame doesn’t really apply to football.
I’m well armored Nose. Those who live by the sword gotta expect sopmeone’s gonna jab at ‘em once in a while! I understand fully that you can’t come into a Booster Club meeting and badmouth the hometeam…
Did you notice Lex pricked everyone in 3 simple sentences? But of course that is why I have submitted to HORNET Sharia Law!
I’ll say this. If Navy wins, I’ll eat goatmeat (horrible stuff, ever try it?), over a hibachi, with my fingers!
Go Navy!

Noun 1. maize – tall annual cereal grass bearing kernels on large ears: widely cultivated in America in many varieties; the principal cereal in Mexico and Central and South America since pre-Columbian times.

Lex,
I hope Navy is as succesful as my Hokies were last night.
Dear Dear Lex. You know I’ve been reading you forever (even if I don’t comment like I used to) You know I love ya Dude.
All that being what it is – I’m gonna be in South Bend tomorrow, in fact leaving from work tonite. I’m within spittin’ distance of my beloved Golden Dome (no bias here). I was at the Navy game last year.
You stand no chance. No chance. No chance. I’m sorry, because you know what a fan I am of our military – but DON’T MESS WITH MY IRISH!!!! This is all about the football.
Sorry ’bout your luck….
Hey y’all! N.D. has Navy R.O.T.C, doesn’t it? LOL. What did that Rodney King dude say?
B2
Is that woman missing her upper legs or is Lex just not very good at photoshopping fake dresses onto sitting painted ladies?
B2-
I was in the ND NROTC unit. Freshman year, they take you into the stadium at the beginning of the year, reaffirm the glorious duty you are volunteering for, and then ask you who you are to root for during the Navy/ND game.
Before you can even start to answer, the shouts come:
“NOTRE DAME! The *Academy* is filled with Academy Middies, it does *not* command your loyalty!”
One for the Navy!
One for the Marine Corps!
And ONE FOR THE LADY ON THE DOME!
GO ND!
Lex, I used the term ahole because I wasn’t sure about the rules. What I really meant to say was a complete prick.
Lex,
Concerning my previous post, I forgot to add “a dumb one to boot”.
Pigboat, what year? I was ’86.
If the Irish sweep the academies this year, does that mean we get the CiC trophy?
This is always a tough game for a girl from Boston whose father and favorite consort arae Navy. I need a drink.
B2, I know I’m going to hate myself for asking, what is “MWR”,? It seems to have really gotten under BC’s skin. Nose the de-caf’s not working, any other brilliant suggestions
MWR = Morale recreation and welfare. It’s an organization that pays for things like gyms and pools on bases. Most (all?) of it’s funding comes from the on-base exchanges.
Well, we thought we had a chance till the second half.
Next year perhaps, next year.
THX Kevin.
