Emmitt Smith Loves the Dukes

Emmitt Smith is the NFL’s all time rushing king. The former Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinal running back rushed for a record 18,355 yards in his 15 year career. He’s also married to a JMU alum and apparently a die-hard Dukes fan. And by die-hard Dukes fan, we mean that he has a luxury box at Bridgeforth Stadium. Or at least that’s what we read on Twitter. And it’s a Wednesday in May, and we have nothing else to discuss, so let’s just go with it. This particular little nugget comes to us via @JMU_Facts. Obviously we did nothing to verify the claim because that would be hard. We can vouch for the fact that @JMU_Facts tweets things that are usually interesting and funny. A few of them might even be true. If this one isn’t and we get debacled for spreading it, so be it. We can at least vouch for the fact that Emmitt Smith has been spotted in Bridgeforth and around the ‘burg on JMU gamedays. We even have a great story about a friend of ours asking Emmitt a rather odd question about Moose Johnston’s, um, locker room presence. It’s completely inappropriate and un-bloggable, but ask us about it at a tailgate and we’ll tell you over a beer. In any case, if nothing else this entire post really serves to remind us all about one very important fact, that the Cowboys suck.
I bet he can’t wait for the JMU-Albany rivalry over the next decade. SO EXCITED.
… and even this seemingly innocuous post about nothing related to conference affiliation has snark in the comments section. Ugh. Nothing related to JMU FB is safe to read on the internet any longer.
That is pretty cool if it is true.
Your comment about the Cowboys was ignorant. You just lost a fan.
Come on now Trish , hang in there, it is a sports blog after all.
I am sure Emmitt would be laughing his butt off at that anyway.
Also, how do we know it’s “his” suite and not hers!
Yeah, Rob. They’ve been 8-8 for three consecutive years. You could at least give them average.
Trish, I don’t think “Ignorant” means what you think it means.
