What happens when you win your first home game against a top 10 team since 1984? You have a four-day weekend!
After Navy upset No. 6 Houston on Saturday to take control of the American Athletic Conference West Division, it was announced Navy would call off classes on Tuesday. Because Navy already had Monday scheduled off for Columbus Day, this creates a four-day weekend for the Mids. Heck, they deserve it.
Superintendent Carter just announced that there will be no school on Tuesday in honor of the win. Monday was already closed for Columbus Day

Canceling classes over a football game? Sure, why not. It’s not exactly like this is a new thing, of course. Besides, what’s one day of school for those studying and preparing to protect our nation in something much more important than football in future years? If anyone deserves a pass for calling off a day of school to celebrate a football victory, it just might be a service academy.
