Actually it was a different HC. The other HC went to Georgia Tech. Navy has a pretty tough non-conf schedule normally, Notre Dame, Air Force, Army and one or two more...since they joined a conference. I think that is why they schedule some different games. This year they open in Hawaii for a non-conf, then come back to Memphis to open the conference...NDSU would not be a stretch. Probably the biggest think working against a game like this is the regional recruiting.
I say Penn State should answer the challenge!

But if you play Baylor, what color do your fans wear?
