When I saw this thread on the front page, I was wondering if the Fed had ruled that overtime is no longer played.

Yeah, it was the early 60s and they wanted veteran officials.

Watched the game yesterday. The teams wore uniforms with modified camo designs. It was really cool and it seemed the military on the ship really enjoyed it. That was the point.

What Do You Mean I Have To Go To Class ???
UCONN plays on the carrier next year. That may be the highlight of their 2012-13 season, since they may not be academically eligible for any post season play next year. How embarrassing.

UCONN women may play in the Carrier Classic in 2013.

Blech! Didn't care for them myself.

Then again, I don't like most of the uni's the Md Terps football team wears either.

Obviously, they were doing it to honor the veterans. Good for them.
