Safe to say JMU covered the spread again today. If i didnt suck at betting on all other sports I'd have made a fortune this year

Fact.... Our second team > Ticks first team.

The fact that Kirlew is our 5th or 6th string RB is ridiculous. He must drive the first string defense crazy in practice.

Helps our rush defense immensely

Oh hey there, 2019 CAA Conference Champions!

There are only two current CAA members that JMU isn't leading the all-time series against.

We trail UD 13-12. And we're tied 18-18 with UR. We have a chance to only trail in one all time series by tomorrow evening.

11 CAA schools, we will likely have all time leads against 10 of 11.

We trail UD because with the larger conference size we rarely play them. During this last six year run, I feel like we have only played them twice and once was in the playoffs.

Going backwards in the thread for a moment, this is the very reason I don't understand why we don't schedule an OOC game with Nova and UD some of the seasons we don't match up for conference play. They are both worthy opponents who our fans like to see us go up against. Certainly if UD is bold enough to schedule a home and home with NDSU, then they shouldn't be afraid to schedule one with us.

I assume the CAA would allow that. I know Wake plays other ACC teams OOC. I always wonder why we don’t play more Southern and Big South teams. Chatty is good, so was ETSU for a competitive cupcake.

Some Nooch love - despite the risk, this guy doesn't slide much and will lower his shoulder. He has a knack for avoiding big hits and it's awesome. Could be that he lifts his feet before the hit. Also, love that he put on a slight block for PAO!

Another Easy win for the Dukes and zero turnovers. The 2nd half of the year has been more disciplined with protecting the ball and that lets the talent win out each week.

Start getting your home playoff plans in place. The playoffs will run through Harrisonburg and Fargo and both will be heavy favorites regardless of the Opponent that comes to town. The home field will be a huge additional advantage for the two teams that are already heads and shoulders above the rest of the FCS.

We are better than the smelly Bisons! I don't think it is even close. Of course, such was the case in 2017 and we wound up the bridesmaid in the Butterfingers Bowl in Frisco.

If we could simply start the game at the beginning rather than 5 minutes after KO.

I've never seen a quarterback more afraid to take a hit than that guy for Richmond.

During this last 6 year run have played UD 5 times.
-2014
-2015
-2016
-2017
-2018 (playoffs)

This will be the 1st time since 2012 that haven’t seen UD..

As soon as I saw the returner running I mentioned he’s running scared and then the ball popped out. He was too scared to try and bring another kick back and then flubbed his last return. Nice, because he acted like a beyotch when he made a routine 1st down while down 3 scores and got up with the BS theatrics of motioning for a 1st down.

Hate em.

NDSU's is full, but not really that great a stadium from what i see. Just an old school shell with some seats in it.

keep trying to convince yourself they aren't that good.

from what i've seen, taking the purple shades off....they are going to win it again this year. and we'll probably finish 2nd again.

Both teams need to get that far, and anything can happen before then. Should JMU and NDSU both arrive in Frisco healthy, I can see JMU winning, and by more than one score.

Got my reservations set for Second round and Semis.

If any of you like Hotel Madison, I’d get your reservations for the semis just in case (I’m holding off for Quarters until I know whether it’s on a Friday or Saturday). Very affordable right now and free cancellation until couple days before game.
