Prediction Contest: JMU vs. William & Mary
JMU is playing William & Mary on Saturday. The two schools are unquestionably rivals on the football fields. And they’re unquestionably different in just about every way possible. Take the video above, which is actual footage of William & Mary students camping out in front of and then rushing into…the library during exam week. You just don’t see that at JMU. But differences like these are part of what makes the rivalry fun. We’ll all gather on Saturday. They’ll call us slackers and taunt us with “one day you’ll be working for us” chants. We’ll call them nerds. They’ll complain that the general public doesn’t give “the college” the respect it deserves as an academic elite (“It’s a Public Ivy dammit!”). We’ll bitch about JMU not going FBS. Then JMU will win the game (hopefully) and they’ll head back to the lab or library, while JMU fans go celebrate. It’s quite fun.
But before we get to that, we’d like to hear your predictions for the game. Leave a comment indicating which team you think will win and what the final score will be. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner & score) will get to write a guest post. Easy as pie.

Purple 48, Green 34 — JMU sprints out to a 21 point lead, gives up 26 straight spanning halftime, reels off 27 in a row then gives up a garbage time TD+2-pt. conversion….oh wait, that’s so last decade….
