We have no rivalry with them. If it was Jimmye Laycock's retirement announcement then I could understand. But Bob Ford's - give me a freakin break.

Why is this posted on a sports board, in particular a board dedicated to JMU sports?

Well, first off, perhaps it's because JMU does play Albany this year...and JMU will probably play the Danes next year too (even if JMU is in transition to another conference by then). Secondly, this man's coaching career is historic, and JMU fans will get to see him at BFS in one of his last games ever. Thirdly, it's a sports board, and this isn't a board where only sports information about "rivals" may be posted...read what interests you, and if it doesn't, move on.
