Losses never lasted long when Ara Parseghian was in charge. Eleven years as head football coach at Notre Dame and the Irish icon never had a team lose back-to-back regular-season games.

That's the message Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo has been giving his Midshipmen all week as they prepare to play Delaware after their triumph over then-No. 19 Notre Dame.

On a day where we honor our nation's military -- heroes you all are -- we take the time to celebrate a group of America's future heroes, a group of men that did the college football world a big favor.
