Navy's final offensive drive that set up the Nichols field goal is statistically incredible: Took 9:06 off the clock, ran 15 plays, and gained 26 yards.
Jarren Jasper Update: Jarren went for a walk in the CICU today...he enjoyed Five Guys for dinner last night and Taco Bell tonight. He is busy watching the Super Bowl with mom and dad even though his beloved Steelers are not playing😉. Continued prayers
#JarrenStrong
Jarren Jasper update from Mrs. Niumatalolo: Donna sat bedside all night while Jarren and his new heart had their first night together...the doctors are saying that he is progressing as expected❤️ He will continue to be sedated and remain in a high sterile environment.
Jarren Jasper update: Jarren has been released from the CICU this morning. He’s now in the HKU (heart/kidney). He has no restrictions on roaming around the hospital as they want him to move as much as possible. Could possibly go home mid-week! 🙏🏾💪🏾❤️
#jarrenstrong
Message from Barb Niumatalolo: On this specific holiday when we celebrate and share love, Jarren is going home! The test results from the biopsy were negative! All our prayers have been answered! Hallelujah!!

❤️❤️❤️
Jarren Jasper Update: Jarren has bern moved to his room in the CICU where he will be closely monitored for the next 24 hours. Mom and dad are by his side. He is doing really well. Continued prayers for complete healing and total recovery.
Jarren Jasper update: Jarren's mom reported that Jarren has gained 10 pounds! He continues to enjoy taking several walks during the day in the CICU and is getting his strength back. He is so excited to see his big sister, Dallas, who comes home tonight from school

Mississippi State is 5-3, lost to the eighth place team in the AAC and are 17th. The first and third place teams in the AAC are not ranked despite being a combined 14-2 and the one loss coming at the hands of the other. It's the College Football Invitational not a playoff
Memphis beats Cincinnati, Memphis host Cincy in AAC Championship game.
Cincinnati beats Memphis and Navy beats Houston, Navy at Cincinnati in the AAC Championship Game
Cincinnati beats Memphis and Houston beats Navy, Memphis at Cincinnati in championship game
Navy Football: Can still win the American, can still win the CIC Trophy, can still set the school record for wins, can still go to a great bowl game and win a bowl game. The SMU game is 20x bigger than today. Learn from the mistakes and get better. Don't let ND beat us twice.
At Brian Bourgeois' Memorial Service today his Master Chief pointed out that Navy held Army to 13 points. Brian's number at Navy was of course 13. No doubt he was watching from above.
#livelikeBooj
Navy is headed to the Patriot League Championship game for the first time since 2001!!!!!! Final
@NavyBasketball
85 Boston 80. WHAT A GAME. One of the best games in the history of Alumni Hall and I'm qualified to say that because I've seen every game in this building.
Jarren Jasper Update: For the third day in a row, Jarren went for a walk in the CICU...he continues to gain his strength back and has been able to play his video games for a short amount of time.
#jarrenstrong
History may prove me wrong, but I think that is the best Notre Dame team we have played since the last Ireland game. The quarterback makes a ton of difference, but they are good everywhere and veteran led. With Ohio State and USC at home, look out.
I don't care what the final score was today, there is not another locker room in the country I would want to be associated with than the young men, coaches and staff in the
@NavyFB
locker room. Love this group. Let's win out.
Tony Romo might be the best color analyst ever. He's incredible. Initially I thought he was a little too excitable, but he's calmed down and is just ridiculously good.
.
@OchoDMO
is the perfect example of why you don't get quit when things aren't going your way. Waited 3 years, started one game and was benched, came off the bench to lead the greatest comeback in school history. Love this kid. He NEVER hung his head.
Jarren Jasper update from Barb Niumat: It's 6 weeks post transplant and Jarren is getting better every day! It is amazing that he no longer depends on a battery pack or outlet to keep his heart pumping. His appetite is much better and he continues to show zero rejection🙏🏼
Today was just brutal. He was one of my favorites. Always gave me a hard time for not taking him or
@Kennyhana__
to the postgame press conference. I am so happy I was able to take both of them to the offensive press conference before the Liberty Bowl. RIP

I've been at Navy 31 years. That's the third time we've beaten Johns Hopkins (3-25). This is a historic win. It's just the sixth win over Hopkins since 1967. And with the Navy women also beating Hopkins we SWEPT them in lacrosse this year. Let's go!
Jarren Jasper update from Barb Niumatalolo: The big news is that Jarren was extubated earlier today...that means he no longer has the breathing tube down his throat😁 They are also weaning him from some of his meds. I am amazed at his progress! BUT, not surprised.
#JarrenStrong
Niumatalolo was fired up postgame. Said that Virginia players walked through Navy's stretch line during warm-ups. "In 20 years of coaching here the only other team that has done that is Rutgers in 2004 and we got after them pretty good too (54-21).
This is a huge deal for us being mentioned with some of these other schools. We try and win this every year. None of it would be possible without
@NAVYCoachKen
"getting it"
With Navy and Air Force both being ranked this week, it marks the first time since Oct. 14, 1985 that two Service Academy teams were ranked in the college football Top 25
Ken Niumatalolo said today in his press conference that this year's team is the fastest and most athletic team from top to bottom in all of his year's at Navy.
Tonight's attendance for
#USC
vs. Notre Dame is 59,821.
Smallest crowd for the rivalry at the Coliseum since rain limited the attendance in 1960 to 28,297.
If
@NavyFB
beats Houston tomorrow the Mids will share the
@American_Conf
West Division title with Memphis. If Navy wins its final three games it will tie the school record for wins with 11 and win the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy. Beat Houston!
This is an award that is very important to us. There is nothing we do that is more important than making sure our coaches and athletes are accessible to the media. Shout out to
@StacieMichaud
who assists with football as well as the rest of the SID staff.
The Navy Sports Information Office was named one of the Top 11 SID offices in the FBS today by the
@TheFWAA
. It is the fourth time in the last five years that Navy has been honored:
Some Facts:
Since 1952
@NavyFB
has had 21 Academic All-Americans. 10 of them have come under Ken Niumatalolo.
Navy Athletics is 10th in the country in graduation rates among schools that play FBS football. Navy is the only Service Academy in the Top 40.
It's more than football
Navy plays Air Force and Army for the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and that's as meaningful as it gets,; Navy plays for the American Athletic Conference title and that's meaningful; Navy plays Notre Dame tomorrow and that's meaningful. Don't tell me what's meaningful.
Rewatching the
@NavyFB
game and there is no way Kansas State got that first down on fourth and short in the second quarter. Great play by Cromartie, bad spot.
You know who is happy about the Coronavirus? The Astros. Nobody is talking about the Astros. So I'm here to remind you the Astros are still cheaters. Thank You.
Good lord I can't even yell at people for cheering in the press box when they are reacting to one of Malcolm Perry's runs. It's impossible to not let out a gasp
“I think it helps that we are a national team. We play games all over the country. That’s unique to us. We are the only Academy that does that. Navy’s an East coast team and we play all over the country.”
About ready to make the worst climb in all of sports, from the locker room to the press box at Air Force (no elevator). If I don't make it I love you all.
Navy Sports Information Named One Of The Top 11 SID Offices in the FBS for the third time in the last four years by the Football Writers Association of America
Aaron Donald played against
@NavyFB
his senior year and was held to just 4 tackles in a 24-21 Navy win. He had just 1 tackle for loss although he nearly killed
@kreynolds_19
on that play. Navy outscored Pitt 17-8 in the fourth quarter and won on a Nick Sloan field goal at the gun
I am saddened to hear from his daughter Tracey the passing of HOF broadcaster Tony Roberts. Roberts is best-known as the voice of Notre Dame Football, but he also called Navy football early in his career and we have been friends for more than 30 years. RIP to a legend.
With the
#NavyFootball
team reporting today this will kick off my 29th year at the Naval Academy. It's been a heck of a ride and far too many great memories and teams to mention in all sports. I'm excited for another season.
Go Navy! Beat Everybody!
Jarren Jasper Update: Today Jarren sat up for awhile and even took a few steps...amazing to think he is only three days post transplant.❤️ He remains in a very strict environment to keep him free from germs as his immune system is greatly compromised.
#jarrenstrong
The Reds are in the position they are in right now because of Nick Krall. Period. The guy is a hell of a general manager so trust him to make the right move or not make a move if the price is too high.
For those watching, the Army-Navy Game serves as a tribute to all of those who serve our country.
For those playing, it serves as the origin for a lifetime of memories.
This is who Texas Southern played non conference: GONZAGA, WASHINGTON STATE, OHIO STATE, SYRACUSE, KANSAS, CLEMSON, OAKLAND, TOLEDO, OREGON, BAYLOR, WYOMING, TCU and BYU. All on the road. First home game was Jan. 1.
David Forney was the ultimate lunch pail guy. He just went to work every day. David would want us to get back to doing what we do on a daily basis. Just because we are back to doing what we need to do doesn't mean we aren't thinking about him.

No matter the sport, there is nothing like Army-Navy. All other rivalries pale in comparison. Today, it's two really good lacrosse teams going at it at 12 noon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on CBS Sports Network and WNAV radio. Go Navy! Beat Army!
So I have to wear this home on the plane for
@denzel_polk
, in honor of the
@Eagles
winning the NFC East. I don't even care, because
@NavyFB
won 11 games!!!
