For all we know, we may be playing Lehigh next weekend.
Rankings don't mean a damn thing when it comes to the playoffs. Sometimes the better team loses. We aren't guaranteed to face anyone. There's a chance that all the top seeds lose and we don't have to face Southern Utah or UCA/SDSU.
All I'm saying is simmer down on the assumptions that we're playing team x and then complaining about how tough our schedule is going to be. There is a chance we play all MV teams. There's also the chance we play zero MV teams... including the final.
Right now, we have the possibility of playing either Stony Brook or Lehigh and that's it. I get that this is a message board and it's fun to speculate, but anything could happen and it's a bit silly to be looking all the way to the semis (or even quarters). Let's take care of business. Let's sell out next week's game as if it's our last, because it very well could be.

Well put. Go Dukes!

Amen. This board has all of a sudden created some kind of fear or concern about MV teams. Screw that. The Dukes of JMU are cocked and ready to gun down all who stand in the way of the mission. Bring 'em all on. As that great American, the Grandma, in Eddie Murphy's version of the Nutty Professor so brightly stated...

..."ya walkin' over, but ya limpin' back"

Of course, this was just after she stated that Mike Douglas was the only white man to make her moist too. So, you do have to pick and choose your inspiring quotes to bring back later in life.

Grandma speaks to MV opponents and everybody else who faces the Dukes...

I'm all for the bravado dude, let's just lay off the talk about being "cocked" and "pounding a$$es" eh?
