We are playing Notre Dame, who’s ranked third in the country. I am presently ranked sixty-sixth. Every season, Navy and Notre Dame have battled it out, Navy winning about half, Notre Dame winning half, in all. I believe we have won the past consecutive three. It’s always a toss-up. Every time we’ve played them it has been close throughout all four quarters.

This is the most momentous game Navy will ever experience.

I have a franchise going with the Navy Midshipmen in NCAA 08, and although I’ve really built them into a very good team, my “team discipline” has declined drastically and my academic status has dropped two stars (so 4 out of 6 now). I am hoping you can help me restore the honorable prestige which once distinguished my team from every other. To help discern a possible cause, here is what I had done: During one particular off-season, I had docked 2% from “team discipline” and added that percentage to “recruiting”. I didn’t think I would need all the “discipline points” I was getting with the original 2%, for, in previous seasons, I would always have points left over. It turned out I did need those points because, at the time, I was not thinking about player discipline levels so much during recruiting. The following season my “team discipline” incurred a minor drop, degrading from an A+ to a B. Not incorrigible; however, this off-season, in hope of rectifying my “team discipline” grade, I returned that 2% from “recruiting” to “team discipline”, and that in addendum to my acquisitions of disciplined players. But this season, much to my dismay, my “team discipline” grade has dropped to a D, and my academic rating has dropped one star (4 out of 6 now). What is going on?
