Seriously though....cool book. I think I'll skip it. :evil: :evil: :evil:
That's because JMU doesn't play in a powder puff league like the BS, and plays a I-A every year as opposed to a DII... ;)

JMU and Delaware fans have never stated this to Griz fans before

But this is YOUR thread, so I guess we started it :lol:

It seemed to help you guys out quite a bit in 2008. :thumb:

What mattered there was not who was on our schedule but that we were on your schedule.

I will grant you that it probably wouldn't have mattered what league we played in last year, but I'm pretty sure that we played you in the semis in '08. That was two years ago mathman.

You need to have some big donor or other organization buy a bunch of copies and them give them out at football games. That way it will get pushed up on the NYT best seller list and get a lot of recognition for the school. If this method is good enough for some politicians, then it should be good enough for you.

Well, I'd rather have been there 7 times with 2 flags than to only have had that experience once. :nod: :nod: :nod:

Then your word usage needs work. If you meant last year, you should've said last year. And if you meant less than all of last year, you might be forgetting we finished out the year winnig four straight (albeit against some less than stellar teams, but they were CAA teams so they're AWESOME! :D ) and our three losses prior to that were to a playoff quarterfinalist, a semi-finalist and the nat'l champion - but I will also grant that the day we lost to the nat'l champion and semi-finalist we might've lost to Wagner if they were playing.

Well hell then our method must be twice as successful as the method employed by each of those teams. Hell being there to give yourself a shot over time is better than being a one hit wonder. You got a bunch of Barbie Girls, Rico Suave's, & Macarena's in your portfolio though if you look at the whole conference...and I know you do.
