Time to take out the trash!!! I am kinda disappointing that everyone is over looking the game by not talking about it.

They are far better than their record shows. We need to jump on them.

I'm nervous for this game. Their record is weak, but they have gone down to the wire with good teams and just can't finish. We can not skip over them and look towards JMU because we will lose. We need to come our strong and prove we are the best. I do not want a close game at all.

All of the above.

David Teel just tweeted W&M may be coming here for football in 2020 as a buy game.

I hope its a send Laycock in to retirement game!!!

W&M is certainly better than their record implies. Most of their losses have been close, and against talented teams as well. Same approach as last week: it's going to be a battle on the field. If our offense is revved up, we score 28+. Their defense hasn't allowed more than 28 points since their Delaware game back in September, but I think we can break through. Our defense will need to continue their steady improvements to stiff-arm the Tribe offense and keep them away from our lead. Ideally, we blow them out. But we have to earn it.

ODU 41, W&M 28

2020......by that time ODU may not even be in CUSA

AimHigh,
Bill and Mary? Waste Management? I see you maintained the plagiarism skills you honed throughout your college days.

I'm hoping for a good game. W&M is down to its 3rd string QB and we're dinged up at RB and WR as well. We have nothing to lose at this point but that's when we're most dangerous. If we play like we did against UMD, Towson, and JMU, we'll be in the game. I'll be there to cheer us to victory.

Your 3 string qb, how many games has he played, when was he put into service?

While WM tries to develop traditions with its new politically-correct name, some old traditions are hard to let go.........

Thank you for the great laugh! After a 3 hour and 40 minute wait to vote, it's just what I needed!

No one wants you here. Literally no one. We left the Caa zone to get away from posters like you.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming......We need to take W&M seriously. They can run the ball and we struggle mightily to stop the run. With that said, I don't think their defense can contain us, and certainly not for 60 minutes. We win another very high scoring affair 41-27....give or take a FG or two.

Hopefully Heineke and the offense get it figured out in practice this week so we can hit full throttle against the Griffins. Absolutely no one should be looking past them to the JMU game and I highly doubt Bobby will let that happen.

I share everyone else's concern except I see it much closer in a nail-biter. W&M has played close in all of it's losses, and there is no reason to believe they will not be up for this game in a big way. Monarchs win 31-28.

ODU 31
William is Mary 16

I totally agree with your game assessment.

I have no problem with Tribal being here, however.

Smitty has shown himself to be more than up to the task of keeping this board civil. I have complete confidence that he will keep it that way.


William & Mary @ Old Dominion 24-38

Why is it that our own fans are still unable spell the last name of our QB?

H-E-I-N-I-C-K-E

As for the game, I think we take out the trash.

Because...most ODU students learned at birth to spell "Heineken". Consequently, a variation of something that is so entrenched in our psyche is very difficult to modify.

I would hope we are receptive to other fans being here and at Foreman Field.

Let's move this conversation to either game discussion or good-natured smack. This is not the board for personal vendettas.
