I'm excited for my grandson, Jacob who is a freshman manager for the wide receivers on the team. I did not know that they broke it down to managers for different positions. Makes sense though, I guess. I texted him a while ago and I could tell that they were REALLY busy! Fun times ahead. I told him to be the best manager in the history of our football program and to keep Pete honest.

That is very exciting. Congratulations Jacob!

Some interesting stuff in this Madia report from our newbies coming over from UVA...

https://jamesmadison.rivals.com/news/ex-cavaliers-settled-at-jmu


“It’s one of the most-lively atmospheres I’ve been around playing football in the past few years,” Word said. “We’ve got great team camaraderie and the guys are all in.

...

“I knew JMU was good throughout the past few years, but with Coach [Mike] Houston coming in, I was very impressed with the team,” he said. “And how they could come out with the wins – winning by 70 or 60 points a game – it’s crazy.

“Now that I’m here practicing, I can see why. They practice hard. They play hard and take things very seriously. We’re expecting to do it again and hopefully we can get it done.”

Both Eldridge and Word said the talent at JMU is comparable to what they saw at Virginia and the ACC schools they played against, but Word said the size at certain positions is different, with the Cavaliers having bigger players.

“Talent is the same,” Eldridge said. “Obviously at FBS you have a few just studs, but the talent is no different from where I come from.”

At 1st I read this and knowing JMU had 7 P5 transfers, was like wtf, already lost one of the transfers? Then realized Madia left off Word, and had Eldridge as an LB instead of WR...

".....Since winning the national title in January, JMU has added six Power Five transfers – Donahue, Leota, defensive lineman Ron’Dell Carter (Rutgers), linebackers David Eldridge (Virginia) and Gus Little (Maryland), and running back Marcus Marshall (Georgia Tech)...."

Anybody know if there is minor construction or repairs going on in the stadium?. Looks like in the background of this practice video that scaffolding extends from midfield towards the end zone.

Is a ribbon board going in? That would be legit!

RE: Dukes open preseason camp - JMUTrippster - 08-14-2017 12:00 PM

Probably just cleaning/painting but a ribbon board would be SWEET.

RE: Dukes open preseason camp - Wear Purple - 08-14-2017 12:16 PM

Good viewing for the students and opposing fans in the east stands I guess???

jmusince89?

There's no mention of any projects at Bridgeforth stadium on JMU's summer projects system. I'd guess it to be some sort of repair, but that's not shown either.

gotta be a banner of some sort - "2004, 2016 National Champions" is my guess. :-)

I believe they are tightening all the bolts that were loosened by The Bridgeforth Stomper.

Hmm, I could make some guesses, hopefully someone will chime in with facts.

RE: Dukes open preseason camp - Deez Nuts - 08-16-2017 07:42 AM

My guess is it's just a new logo update. And hopefully a power wash while they're up there.

Here is a twitter thread about possibly some "National Champions" updates to the Stadium
