Bad job by Navy fans

yea they're spread all over the world, anyone who recently graduated is still on active duty
Last minute trip to this game vs Army Navy game next weekend, which people have been planning for and have had their hotel rooms booked for a year. It's not surprising.
CAREFUL!
Mark Di Ionno might be lurking to write a BS piece that can get picked up coast to coast on how one Rutgers fan was critical of Navy and isn't that terrible and aren't they all terrible because of it.
I still won't read that douchebag to this day because of that garbage "F-Navy" crap years ago.
You blame DiIonno because Rutgers students were chanting F Navy ... not sure he really caused it. He just reportrd it.
This was reported by a Navy blogger:Off the Yard: Speaking of... - Navy
>Speaking of Rutgers…
Since I was in the press box, I did not have the opportunity to hear the profanity-laced tirades fans belted around Rutgers Stadium as being reported by several New Jersey media outlets this week. Obviously such behavior makes one sick to their stomach and all Navy fans should be appalled. However, not all Rutgers fans were disrespectful cowards. As a matter of fact, some of them reminded me of what makes the Midshipmen different from 116 of the other Division I-A football programs (excluding Air Force and Army). After the game, waiting above the tunnel to greet the Navy players as they exited the field were about a hundred or so Rutgers fans adorned in their scarlet red garb. They were cheering at that moment, not for the random Scarlet Knight player heading towards the locker room, but for the opposing team. Some fans were yelling, "Thank you for your service," while others were chanting, "Beat Notre Dame." I'm pretty sure this type of scene is rarely duplicated anywhere in sports, and it was nice to see that in the birthplace of college football some of the Rutgers fans "get it." What they get is that the young men who they were cheering for were about to change out of their current uniform in favor of a much more important one.<

The point is and will always be ten drunk kids in the student section chanted "F**k Navy" not at dead sailor's coffins, but at an opposing team's football players. Di Ionno took it and turned it into all Rutgers fans burning flags and throwing excrement at the relatives of Battleship Arizona survivors.
It was BS at our expense.
