As you did, I also googled. First try: http://www.operationsports.com/jmik58/blog/21161-The%20Problem%20with%20Sports%20Fans/ Read comment #4: Trust me, I had nothing to do with the posting. I am neither a Ravens fan, Irish, or have anything to do with Baltimore. I'm sure if I was...

Alternate lists must only be filled after the mandatory/primary/principal sources have already been exercised. Note the wordage to fill the restricted list that includes the VPs: So, only as a second measure can the alternate lists be filled, the restricted even more so. Admissions will...

I am really curious as to how you can make this statement. First off, US Code, specifically lists three separate categories, one for the VP, one for each of the two Senators in each state, and one for Repreasentatives. A partial list: Therefore, when the following statement is made...

I am sure there is a reason, which totally escapes me, as to why this could not have been done by PM.

At the risk of beating this beyond death: Or, more than likely, booing has become so commonplace that only those associated with a SA might somehow find it "classless." I can remember when cadets and midshipmen were forbidden from booing. Period. The episode Saturday would have...

Read the above posts. Both CC and Fry stated that they booed. They booed while an injured Navy player was on the field. Do you think they were the only ones?

Great. Another one. I’m sure the field goal kicker did not miss everything during warmups. However, when there is another team on the field, his record is abysmal. 1-6. I am also positive that during warmups, the offense, when they were running play drills, were not continually fumbling...

Perception is reality. There were a lot of fans, both in the stadium and on national TV, who thought the cadets were booing an injured Navy player.

I'm not sure if you are attempting to hijack the thread for your own personal agendas or simply do not understand the method by which alternates are selected. 1964BGO is referring to VP appointments. Yes, there is only one or two per year. Yes, needle in a haystack. Yes, manna from heaven...

They were booing prior to the officials having the opportunity to reset the clock. Oh, they were booing because they just knew the officials were not going to put time back on the clock? Or perhaps they thought the way to endear themselves to the officiating crew and influence them to make a...

Glad to see AF lost because they played poorly rather than because Navy played well.

First, you seem to be confusing nominations made directly from the VP's slate and those made to alternates. Pure speculation on your part and absolutely no way to confirm what you seem to be implying. The academy does not reveal the source of nominations utilized for those offered appointments...

For someone who was at the game, please tell me that it was not the cadets booing an injured Navy player about two minutes before the end of regulation play.

Pretty sure the defense has not surrendered a touchdown since the first half of the Penn State game (three games ago),

I made three statements. One or two appointments. All get nominations. Restricted waiting list.. Not sure which one you have problems understanding. First off, in re appointments, from US Code Title 10, Subtitle C, Part III, Subchapter 603, Paragraph 6954...

Everyone who applies receives a nomination. More like a gold mine than manna. Only one or two will receive an appointment. The remainder will be eligible for a restricted waiting list.

Please read my original post. Parents should not ASK a Plebe to break regulations. The should not be enforcers either. The Plebe knows where he happens to be on the food chain at any particular moment and what he is willing to attempt to get away with. It is a part of the Academy learning...

I think mids are supposed to sit with the Brigade. Please don't ask a Plebe to break the rules and sit with you.

Another copycat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa4RLoG9234&feature=youtu.be Again, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thanks to both AFA and WP.

Yes, prior to the inception of the CFA in, or about, 2002 or 2003, each SA had their own test, and their own name for it. It was conveivable for a candidate to have to do five tests (and find someone to administer them).
