You guys will be a fun rivalry and ODU posters are hilariously relentless at egging on their prey. They have created rivalries out of nothing with team across the country in games no one cares about, really. Now they have a team next door to motivate them. Entertaining is an understatement. That above all is why I value ODU. They tried with us but we were too busy being full of ourselves and resenting being in a conference with move-ups to notice and it became more bitter than fun. I hope being here as a fresh start will change that fan relationship as we chose to come here together, rather than having it forced on us.

But I have noticed the relationship with UTEP and LaTech and MTSU that the ODU fans cultivated and I'd like that for JMU and us. Just have to look past some of the elitist MU fans. The vast majority of us are happy to be here, have wanted this a long time, and have a sense of humor. If it wasn't for the Civil War we'd all be in the same state anyway.

It’ll be nice to have rivalries that should be able to develop naturally and carry beyond just message board fans. We definitely had some heat develop on the hardcourt. Football series is pretty lopsided

For outsiders that don't know, it's 2-0 in favor of the MONARCHS.

That's a cool perspective. Thanks for sharing. And I think the fans felt that when we joined cusa. There was this "you go from fcs and skipped over the sunbelt straight to cusa?" kind of attitude. Not everyone but definitely plenty let us feel like we didn't belong.

Feels different with this move. Sure, there are those on here that are/were "meh" about ODU but that's expected from fans of teams with no relationships or history. And that's much different than "you don't belong." So much more inviting and welcoming.

OOPS! How did we get to talking about MU football on a JMU/ODU thread anyway?

While we are playing with this Duke vs Monarch thing. Cajuns which is term used for a French person who came from Acadia,( Nova Scotia). We like to take off the heads of Monarchs and Dukes.

Also early Mardi Gras is part of a way to mock the nobility who would have there balls and dinner parties. The peasants dress up and mock the nobility and have a party in the street with parades and beads. King and Queen of a Mardi Gras was a mock for the real King and Queen. While they party in there nice mansions.

If you play us Cajuns better watch out lol..

Because I started the thread

ODU continues the unbeaten streak against bulldog themed opponents. Best be ready for us, Purple Pups.

Maybe we should start a Founding Fathers conference. ?

George Washington
UVA (Jefferson founded)
Penn
Franklin & Marshall

Etc. add on to the list.

The state of Virginia has a history of naming their schools after famous Virginians. That is why we have Marshall, James Madison, George Mason, etc.

All royalty like their pets, and the Dukes make fun, but very tempermental, ones. All is good until the dog loses it's sense of the pecking order and tries to crap on the rug because we ignore it or kick it or neuter it. That is what you do with pets that misbehave.

JMU is like that to ODU. "King of 1-AA or FCS", whatever. Monarchs moved in and cut that puppy's nuts clean off, quickly and surgically. Like for La Tech, to be a rivalry, both sides have to have had some success. ODU is 2-0 vs the castrated purple puppies. Until JMU actually beats its master, they are our homecoming game, alternating with La. Tech. And unlike JMU, our homecoming queen is actually a chick with real tits and is not named Trevor. Chew on that, arse-sniffers.

Good point. Let’s not discuss sports rivalry on this sports board. Let us instead postulate the validity of Aquinas’ 5 arguments on the existence of God.
1. the argument from "first mover"
2. the argument from causation
3. the argument from contingency
4. the argument from degree
5. the argument from final cause or ends ("teleological argument")

I am personally partial to number 3 as it ties evidence for God to the verifiable fact that the universe exists. Since there there could be a reason for the universe not to exist, but it still does, there must be a reason. This reason we understand to be God. Elegant, does not contradict scientific theory and is simple enough to explain to medieval peasants and JMU graduates.

Tell me your favorite. Your opinion is highly valued and respected.

Let me introduce you to a concept called "Context". When we beat you, we were both FCS. If we were FBS then those will be as meaningless as your National Championships. Get it?

Oh dear…
