Loud and proud contingent which I was told numbered in excess of 3,000 showed up and showed out. At alumni tailgate it was stated we bring more fans to Annapolis than anyone except Air Force. Just too bad the team didn't show up.
BTW, even if the game itself blows Annapolis is always a top road trip. Spent yesterday before the game wandering around the quaint and historic downtown snd waterfront. Have toured the magnificent Academy campus and tall ships. The pregame experience with the march of the Midshipmen is second to none. This morning I am licking my wounds with a Bloody Mary, crab and oyster breakfast at a rooftop restaurant overlooking Baltimore Harbor. Doesn't suck.
Just a note to reconfirm you can still enjoy the college football experience through good times and bad.
