Navy Midshipmen

Another nice aspect is that NAVY draws well. Its a team that you want to go see play even in years where they suck. Indeed, 1994 was not a great year for them, a blow-out was a given, yet it drew the biggest, or second biggest crowd of the year.

Next years team will be coming off a bowl season, and the program is clearly in a high point overall. Depending on how we start, the Falcons might actually be underdogs at home.

Actually, it was the third biggest by 115 people.

(I just happen to have the 1995 media guide out for whatever reason.)

Average home attendance that season was 22,960 for five games, with the smallest being 19,183 for Ball State.

Is this the kind of party that Granny is going to be living it up at, or is this the kind of party you hope Granny never knows actually happened, and for which there will be at least one copy of Yellow Pages to hand to help locate that specialist furniture polisher who happens to be on call on Sunday mornings when everyone wakes up to reality?

Granny doesn't care, she just likes to know when I'm using the house.

Wizard. Sounds like the kind of Granny that stays at the top of the Christmas card list.
