Bush flaunted his legacy and name recognition, sharing the stage with George Sr. and Barbara; Gore played up his vice presidential status with his Secret Service entourage...
...there is one glaring chink in Navy's armor that the Crimson can capitalize on, it is free throw shooting. Through its first five games of the season, the Middies have shot a miserable 56.6 percent (77 of 136) from the line. If, at the very least, the Crimson can manage to keep the score close entering the final minutes of play, free throws could potentially be the difference down the stretch...
