Here is his guest post all about his favorite victories over RU.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello, good evening, and welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am the Director of Marching Percussion at JMU, and I\u2019m currently in my 20<sup>th<\/sup> year of teaching for the Marching Royal Dukes. I\u2019ve been to many JMU VS Richmond football games, and have seen quite a few in the old City stadium in Richmond. Now that they play in that little sandbox they have on campus, the band is no longer allowed to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three of my favorite moments of JMU beating Richmond happened in that stadium all at the same game. October 11, 2008. (Credit given to all videos)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>The Jump Pass<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodney Landers jump pass to Mike Caussin was special. Still early in the game, and for as long as I have watched football, I\u2019ve never seen this executed so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I happened to be standing on the other side of the field (from this video), so I got to watch this close up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was pretty amazing!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rodney Lander&#039;s Tebow Pass to Mike Caussin\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mTElVdtWMRI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>The Comeback<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teams were ranked very high (JMU #1, and UR #5), played well, and it took a little bit of JMU magic and ball control from Field Marshall Landers to get us back into a tie at the end.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Epic Finish:  #1 James Madison Rallies in Last 3:14 to Beat #5 Richmond\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g4app9RGxXw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>Don\u2019t kick it to Scotty!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the number one play on ESPN the next day. The return. All they had to do was kick it away from him. But no, right down the middle. Right to him. (Warning: Lots of yelling on the first clip)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was back in the end zone with the band when it happened. We saw the whole play come right to us.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scotty McGee&#039;s 69yd punt return TD beats UR!!\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/svRvZxTCTb4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JMU - Scotty McGee Punt Return TD vs. Richmond - ESPN #1 Play!\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMl6LaXEqvQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we love beating Richmond, our biggest rival (in my opinion), and I\u2019m happy to have seen it happen many times!
