No ticket letter yet. Still seems a bit early for that.
I'm hoping to get this game. I've never seen the Middies. As for comparing us to Notre Dame I strongly disagree. We're scheduling Navy as a season opener, which is a far better first opponent than many of our peers. Conversely, Notre Dame schedules Navy in the middle of the season and calls it a rivalry.
(And if there are any Domers here spare me the story about the WWII era and what Navy did for Notre Dame, and vice versa. I know about it. I also know it was 60+ years ago and the game has changed a lot since then.)
