Which of 3 sports events today would you choose?
So, if you had to pick one victory for today's events, which do you pick?

-JMU vs. Colgate in football Nice to get a W with revenge on Colgate and advance in the playoffs, but with all the Houston drama- closure might be better suited.

-JMU vs. Michigan State in the Elite 8 of men's soccer. Awesome to seek yet another national championship in a different sport

- JMU vs. ODoR U in men's hoops. Great to beat an in state rival and perhaps gain some momentum, but this is JMU basketball.
Not taking a poll, just interested in comments

Your thoughts? Go Dukes!

Soccer at Michigan State all the way. A natty in soccer would be huge and the guys get to go to California.

Not even close for me. Beat Colgate, bring on NDSU, and let’s build on the Mike Houston era.

Very interested to see the soccer Dukes.

Curious to see what happens at ODU, but it’s likely one of 15 loses this year. Win or lose will not make a difference in my day.

Football game by a long shot. I’ll watch the soccer game as well but not with nearly as much excitement. I won’t be watching the basketball game.

Football. It’s our marquee sport. Another loss to Colgate would be beyond embarrassing.
Soccer a close second. College cup baby!
Mbb - yay they managed to win a game? Shrug.

I'll pass on basketball. I'll check on the score from time to time.

Soccer, the final 4 is a big deal and it was the first big time Men’s sport we had. Alan Mayer was a bad man.

Football, we have an excuse for a loss. Even though Colgate may just be better than us this year.

Basketball just makes me think of Charlie Brown

Soccer, we are playing in the playoffs at the highest level of NCAA. A berth in the College Cup would be huge for the program and university.

Football - with extra emphasis because it is a playoff game and it is a revenge game from 3 years ago. If it was a regular season game I would rank the basketball game first.

Basketball - ODU is possibly the best team JMU will face all year and the game will be played in front of the biggest crowd JMU sees all year. A long time State rival and former CAA peer makes this even more interesting. The hate runs deep in this one.

Futbol - not really a fan of the game. The quarterfinal game doesn’t register on the radar. Final 4 would be nice for a little bit of exposure albeit on ESPNU which has fewer subscribers than ESPN 2. Kinda tells you where Futbol stands in the American sports world. FCS football semis and final are on ESPN 2.

Not completely correct Hart. One FCS Semi is on ESPNU.

And yet we play the FCS championship game in a soccer stadium. . .

Got it. The NCAA bracket is probably wrong then. Similar concept though. ESPN puts games on their tiered networks based on the sports market demand. FCS football and Soccer are well below FBS football and basketball.

At any rate, it is a great JMU sports day.
