The Dukes Ain’t Too Proud to Beg

As we mentioned last week, Coach Wither’s and his staff have brought a ton of new ideas and enthusiasm to the JMU football program. One of those new ideas was a players Strongman Competition, which took place in June. This video captures the highlights. It’s rather intense and features a bunch of strenuous looking activities, any one of which would send a much weaker man (like me for instance) to the showers crying. Thankfully the Dukes are far tougher than most of us and actually appear to be enjoying themselves, even while inexplicably wearing tie-dyed t-shirts for a tug-of-war. Football season can’t get here soon enough.
