JMU Student Outsmarts UVa Hoops Program
Courtesy of Deadspin, today we learned about a funny story from last weekend’s ACC Championship game. A current JMU sophomore managed to sneak down onto the floor, bluff his way into the UVa huddle, and join in the post game festivities. And as the story explains, it was all pretty simple really. He just threw on a coat and cheap tie he bought prior to the game, walked down onto the court and acted like he belonged. While many of you will question why a JMU sophomore considers himself a fan of UVa athletics, we’re just going to let that go. What really caught our attention was the fact that simply throwing on a cheap orange necktie from Walmart made the kid a dead ringer for a UVa student.
I grew up a UGA fan, because my family all went to UGA. I made the right decision and was a Duke Dog instead of a Bulldog. Doesn’t mean the 18 years I spent rootin’ for the Dawgs disappear. I would just root for Duke Dogs over Bulldogs if they ever met. If our Men’s team had a game at the same time as this and he wasn’t there, then okay, there’s something to be upset about. Otherwise, the kid can’t help if his parents raised him to like a crappy team.
Yeah, I really don’t care who this kid (or anyone else) roots for. I said we’re letting it go in an attempt to steer the conversation away from the topic, because history has shown that many fans feel differently than you and I do Zac. It’s just sports after all.

He should be expelled for treason.
I was in London on a business trip a few years ago and it happened to be the same time the Pats played the Bucs. You would be shocked at how easy it was for me to get on the field at wimbley stadium. I was walking right past Tom Brady and Coach B and walked down the tunnel with the Bucs cheerleaders. I stood in the endzone during pregame and was right next to Robert Kraft while he was giving an interview. The worst part was that I did not even have to pay to get dressed up in a fancy orange tie. I was wearing a Romo jersey and a Cowboys hat carrying a video camera (video on youtube) and was able to have my run of the place.
