Just caught the replay of the Memphis-PSU game, and the Tigers gave the Nittany Lions a heck of a tussle. Big Ten fans are going to be regarding Memphis FB with respect after that game.

A loss, yes, but a "win" in terms of respect gained and a boost to the conference brand. It probably got a lot of eye-balls, too, since some of us are still watching the game a day or two later.

I agree, we are only slightly better right now.

Over 6 million live has been reported. Well... 12 million, since most people have two eye-balls...

Congrats Navy!

shouldnt have had to come down to that last field goal. sitting in the stands it was a clear block in the back on the punt return and I have no idea what that side judge was looking at on his spot on the 4th down try. he missed it by 2 yards. congrats to Navy on the win and season

For those at the Liberty Bowl, what was the crowd composition, KSU vs Navy?

It was borderline block in the back as the defender did start to run when the block occurred. I've seen it called more than not called. The spot was bad but the replay wasn't definitive enough to overturn it. Going back to the punt return, he should have been kicking out of bounds anyway. He's much too dangerous of a return man to kick to. The announcers gave too much credit to KSU's block threat rather than to just say he missed it. I don't think the threat of a block normally comes to kickers mind. After all, it wasn't like he was a slow to the ball kicker or kicked it very low.

The announced attendance was baloney. Somewhere around 25 - 30k actually there. Probably around 40% cheering for Navy

He was looking at the cheat notes taped to his wrist, the games are fixed, the aac is too good to lose despite the fix against us.

Congrats to The US NAVEL Academy...

Congrats to Navy. Way to coach Niumalatolo.

At most I'd give it was 35k. I sat on the sat on the KSU side and it looked full. The Navy side looked like it may have had 12k fans and the KSU probably had about 23k fans. No way it was 50k as reported.

I think so. I watched quite a few AAC games this year and our offenses looked alot smoother than KSU's. Whole time I was watching the game I was thinking how did this team beat Oklahoma. I honestly think Memphis, Cincinnati, UCF, or Navy possibly could have won the Big 12 this year.

Navy should have went for it on 4th and 2. KSU couldn't stop them all night and the defense was gassed. After that missed field goal they got some extra adrenaline.
