Down 27-7 in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame seemed assured to avoid a second straight embarrassment at the hands of Navy. Last year, the Midshipmen beat the Irish for the first time in 44 years ... and it took three overtimes to vanquish the longtime masters of the rivalry.This post originally appeared on the Sporting Blog.

lol navy almost had it again last i checked the refs almost gave the game away. i didnt know that half of your foot in bounds and half out of bounds equals a catch. last i checked your whole foot had to be in bounds unless dragged and clearly he didnt drag it.
other wise decent game congratz to notre dame bowl eligible and the big east refs seriously need to go back to ref school cause this is not the first game they have messed up badly in

My lord, quite crying. ND is notorious for getting the calls, and when something doesn’t go your way you get all upset. I’ll call the whambulance for you! ND will get beaten again in the Gator Bowl, and I’ll be watching.

I forget what comic I’m stealing this from, but I always felt bad during the Cold War when the Red Army teams would win a bunch of gold medals while our Army team was losing to William and Mary.
