Mike Caussin Got Married and Other JMU Tidbits
Former JMU tight end Mike Caussin recently got married. Normally a JMU football alum tying the knot wouldn’t be news, but Caussin got hitched to a celebrity of sorts. His bride is the lovely Jana Kramer. According to US Weekly, Kramer is a country singer and One Tree Hill alum. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about One True Hill is, but apparently being an alumnus of it is important to tabloid readers. That’s fine. We’ve always had sort of an understanding with US Weekly that we’ll cover the JMU alumni related stuff and they’ll take everything else. It works out well.
Here are a few other JMU related nuggets to start your week with.
There is no league policy on the issue, but JMU and every other CAA Football program have decided not to provide athletes the full cost of attendance. Also, note that the article states JMU home games will be featuring replay reviews this season.
Checking out the West Virginia hoops schedule shows us that JMU will play the Mountaineers in Charleston, WV on November 16. That’s a solid OOC road game for the Dukes.
Coach Brady announced the signing of JUCO transfer Shakir Brown. The 6’6″ guard/forward averaged 20 and 10 playing for Angelina College in Texas. He shot 48% from the field and a solid 36% from long range.
The Diamond Dukes’ Kyle McPherson was named to the 2015 Lousville Slugger Freshman All America team. The second baseman batted .311 and had an on-base percentage of .401. He was also named the CAA Rookie of the Year.
Other than that, my Google alert just tells me that lots of small town papers are very proud of their local kids who made the dean’s list at JMU. Slow week.
Why would Brady say he felt it was important to bring in an older player when that gives the team a total of EIGHT juniors (a recruiter’s nightmare) and two seniors? Is that any way to build a program? Or is that a sign that Brady is just living under a “win now” approach? Just looks stupid to me.
Dude, she is hot. Good for Mike. Go Dukes!
