FOXBORO, Mass. -- The Patriots won't be needing either of their two team planes this weekend, with the Miami Dolphins coming to Foxboro for a game at Gillette Stadium. And apparently, they're willing and able to loan their private transportation when another team can spring for it.<\/p>\n
So the Navy football team decided this week that they want to fly high in the same plane as the six-time Super Bowl champions. They are renting one of the Patriots' team planes for their trip to Memphis, Tenn. for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl against Kansas State.<\/p>\n
Thank you @Patriots and Team 125 for sending us to the @AZOLibertyBowl the right way! #NavyFB | #BuiltDifferent<\/p>\n
@NavyFB traveling to the @AZOLibertyBowl in STYLE. Thank you @Patriots<\/p>\n
Obviously, some very clever internet sleuths had to try to catch Navy blatantly violating NCAA rules by accepting the ride on the Patriots' plane as a gift. Navy Athletics was quick to put the very cool and awesome tattles in their place.<\/p>\n
@Bruinman86 @PhilBlueRibbon @BobSocci @NavyFB @AZOLibertyBowl @Patriots It was paid for.<\/p>\n
Damn. That was close. The Angry Internet People almost nabbed another one.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, it was a nice gesture by the Patriots to let a college team get a taste of the life of an NFL traveler. Didn't come without a price, but for the players the experience was probably priceless.<\/p>\n
