Navy finalizes deal with Meineke Bowl
Navy has finalized a deal with the Meineke Car Car Bowl in Charlotte. The agreement would change the game so that it now pits an ACC team against Navy or a Big East team. The game will be December 30 at Bank of America Stadium.
Recent Navy bowl attendance:
In 2005, the Midshipmen sold 20,000 tickets for the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, and officials estimate that NAVY helped draw up to 35,000 people to the contest.In 2004, the Naval Academy brought 18,000 fans to the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco. A year before that, NAVY brought 25,000 fans to the Houston Bowl, leading to a record crowd of 51,068.

Navy 2006, will go 11-1 (with a bit of luck)!
Paul Johnson = Coach of the Year, 2006 (if he can overcome the major-conference bias).Notre Dame is the only "sure" Loss.
@ Stanford, vs Rutgers, vs Tulsa are three of the 'toughest' remaining opponents and they're all Win-able. Navy's got an unsual amount of Retruning Starters. Paul Johnson has them groovin...My "Out-on-a-Limb" call for 2006: Navy is a Top 15 team, possibly 12-1 after their Bowl game!
