HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison Athletics announced memorable football games of the past will be televised regionally on NBC Sports Washington on Sundays during November in a series named "Classic Rewind," sponsored by Toyota.
Games in their entirety will air immediately following the Washington Football Team's postgame show on the network. The re-broadcasts will air at 5 p.m. on Nov. 8, 15 and 22 and at 6 p.m. on Nov. 29. Additionally, there are tentative plans to also re-air two more classic JMU games during the month of December with those matchups to be determined at a later date.
The confirmed re-broadcast schedule includes:
Nov. 8 – JMU vs. Appalachian State in 2008
Nov. 15 – JMU vs. New Hampshire in 2007
Nov. 22 – JMU at Richmond in 2008
Nov. 29 – JMU vs. William & Mary in 2012
TBD in December – two additional classic games
The first re-broadcast features arguably the greatest comeback in JMU football history, as it rallied from 21 down to upend the top-ranked Mountaineers, 35-32, on Sept. 20, 2008.
The following week, NBCSW airs JMU's come-from-behind victory in its home opener on Sept. 8, 2007, against the Wildcats. In that game, the Dukes scored the game's final 24 points.
JMU's third re-airing of classic games is one no JMU fan will soon forget, as Scotty McGee's 69-yard punt return in the waning moments lifted the Dukes to a thrilling 38-31 win at #5 Richmond on Oct. 11, 2008.
The last of the four scheduled broadcasts takes fans back to JMU's most recent double-overtime victory on Oct. 14, 2012. The Dukes outlasted the Tribe, 27-26, in a game decided on a two-point conversion attempt.
