For: Immediate Release

"What a wonderful day for the Navy community as we welcome home two of our most distinguished former football heroes," said Gladchuk. "Recognizing Roger Staubach and Paul Johnson during the Air Force game will be another milestone for the program and a moment in history that will long be remembered. Memorializing Roger's number 12 on the field in perpetuity complements our beloved Joe Bellino's number being displayed on the 27-yard line. In addition, the halftime ceremony to recognize the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame induction of Coach Johnson will further enhance our pride and appreciation for the amazing success we enjoyed throughout his distinguished era at Navy. Both men remain legendary, and are two of our greatest in the annals of Navy Football."​
 
It will be the only bright spot of that game. Air Force is gonna paste the Mids.

Unfortunately for PJ, he'll watch his former team get sunk by an AF team that runs a variation of his own offense and is still coached by mostly the same staff that was there when PJ last coached at Navy.

Yea, that's the takeaway here.
 
I just hope it isn't bad enough to make PJ take up dipping again.
He was a Copenhagen guy.

Many years ago, when PJ had a speaking engagement at Atlanta Touchdown Club, I took my boss with me and introduced him to PJ. When my boss reached in his back pocket for a dip of Copenhagen, I knew they'd get along.

Seems like Navy should’ve memorialized Staubach’s number in their stadium a long time ago. Overdue.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Overdue is putting it mildly. Was there bad blood or something?
