Hopefully he could put together a better one than our AD did this year.... I saw a proposed schedule for next years that wasn't the one Travis has over here.... I was horrified. :o The one where we end the season in Maine? Yeah, not thrilled about that one either, I always liked having the Towson b...

Whoa! If you're talking about this year you ARE in serious tailgate country---and a far cry from FCS. Good of you to keep the faith. I would suspect you've never been at a JMU tailgate in the student area, I remember the W&M tailgate from the 2004 playoffs so I understand where you are coming f...

I've been watching all day and I haven't seen one single lawn chair.

That's because its a right to work state. 52 million. If this thing was being done up north would probably be looking at 60-70 million.

Yep, 2 almost years ago last season: Matthews Offered South Alabama Job http://www.whsv.com/home/headlines/15574182.html The JMU Nation was on pins and needles for several days Feb 2008. http://www.whsv.com/news/headlines/15583697.html Turned down 5 yr/350 k a year offer: http://www2.wsls.com/sls/sp...

Also mentioned on ESPN Insider:

"...In addition to five of the names on Smock's list (Bob Pruett, Mickey Matthews, Gunter Brewer, Butch Jones and Paul Petrino),..."

-Thats just rehashing the local articles though...

Just one Charleston, WV sports writer's opinion: "...It depends on this hire, of course. My ideal candidate would somebody from the offensive side, though it would be ludicrous to rule out James Madison's Mickey Matthews, the Herd's defensive coordinator under Jim Donnan. The candidate would kn...

It really depends on if he wants to have the possibility of playing for a national championship. Granted, UVa historically blows, but at least if they put together an undefeated season somehow, they'd have a better shot of making the BCS title game than Boise, which goes undefeated a lot, and finis...

can u say "money game" ! it is no longer a "body bag game" i hope your AD gets some money because you people back east will "sell" your team too cheap, just for a fbs game( going rate is 1.2 million for lower level fbs teams)! You're full of sh**- no I-AA has ever gott...

Been to lane Stadium twice before myself- the last game of the 99' season when VT with Vick thumped BC to go 11-0 and face FSU in the National Title game and also when they thumped BC in 01' when VT was ranked in the top 10-15 at the time. But that was before they had finished their major expansion ...

Nah.

Prior to the start of the season, I thought JMU would lose to VU and UR.

One loss to Umass, UD or W&M on the road.

So maybe I meant 1 1/3?

Yeah, but shouldn't have lost to UR...

You'd be perfect as a Bobcats fan. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Celebrating mediocrity. :ohno: :ohno: Coming from 2-5 to 5-5 is a good sign for me. I'm celebrating improvement in a season where I thought we would be what I thought we were. At 2-5, I didn't know how the team would hold up, or ...

..after hearing about the shootings at Ft. Hood and the other incidents in Iraq, etc. I am really starting to distrust Arabs or Americans who are of Arab decent. I know it is wrong but if I was in the military I would be very nervous about being around these people becuase you never know if they ar...

Maine sucks.... plain and simple

Yep, JMU is going to roll Maine this weekend with Thorpe playing much better and JMU's defense hitting on all cylinders....oh wait, my bad, wrong thread..

As a cheap man, I like Walmart. I even worked there right before I went to GSU, and was invited to be part of the class action law suit going on about breaks and lunches. I was never wronged by them and if I would have been I would have told them to shove it. These people are not forced to work for...

I don't have sick days or vacation days, but I am a salaried worker and I get paid no matter what. I think this is one of the separations between a "career" and a "job." Plus Walmart's health benefits are pitiful and don't even cover all of their full time employees... so why sh...

And yet JMU STILL got votes.

It won't be so laughable in less than 3 weeks when JMU finishes 6-5. JMU would beat most of these other teams getting votes, some who are some real patsies.

Pre season polls are for retards. I never pay attention to them because there is no reason to- they're obviously not worth the paper they're written on because people have nothing to go on outside of the previous year, and yet people still talk about them and get their panties in a wad if their team...
