I already regret my decision to do this live blog because of how many Hawaiians Navy has. I refuse to even pretend to spell their names. Any time you see me refer to a player by position, just assume they have some sort of crazy name

Navy opens the game with a 40 yard run and closes it with a 40 yard field goal. Very zen. 3-0 Navy

And we just had our first Navy ad. I haven't seen anything this shameless since ESPN last tried to advertise it's made for TV movies. No word yet on whether or not Jim Grobe has declared this "Season's on the brink!"

We've also had our first reference to the "craziness" of the ACC season. Apparently, the fact that a conference has parity has much more baring on this game than, you know, the game they already played this year

I see on the ESPN bottom line that the Iowa State AD just told the Auburn AD, "You think you can make bad decisons? I'll show you bad decisions!" by hiring Auburn's old defensive coordinator. No word yet on whether or not the Iowa State AD let a message for Auburn stating simply, "Suck it."

Navy makes the President happy by showing great offensive defensiveness by scoring a TD off a fumble recover. An inexplicaby 10-0 for the Midshipmen

The commentators just pointed out that Navy has won multiple games this year without completing a single pass. If that doesn't pull in viewers, I don't know what will.

Also, while Navy has won game without completing a pass, they did rely on close air support from an F-22

Is this the worst match up of mascots in history? I mean honestly, it's a battle of church officials vs. people who swab the poop deck. Has there even been a worse match up of nicknames ever?

Navy adds a field goal to boost it's lead to 13-0. After the field goal, the Navy kicker awkwardly shouts to a Wake defensive tackle, "That's right, Ice. . . . Man. I am dangerous!" No one on his team laughs, and he is immediately deducted six points of grease on his leadership rankings by the class dean

Apparently Jim Grobe watched a lot of film on the 2002 Philadelphia Eagles in preparation of this game, as the Wake offense seems built around the fake reverse to James Thrash

Early admission to Duke is the end zone, and like their student body, the Wake Forst offense has to settle for a field goal. Unfortunately, their kicker shows he couldn't even get into Vanderbilt by banking his kick off the goal post

Navy just scored it's second defensive touchdown off a fumble recovery to make the game 20-0 Navy. Secretary Gates is thrilled by the news, and promises "Only 50% of you will now die" in celebration

Alright, I'm hungover as hell and need food. Hopefully someone else will finish the live blog, otherwise, I'll be around later. Welcome back, college football!
