Things like, &#8220;JMU really made them earn that TD&#8221;, but then it evolved into things like &#8220;Wow. I didn&#8217;t see that coming&#8221; and &#8220;JMU is hanging in there&#8221;. After the Dukes TD drive in the 3rd quarter, more people starting texting me. By the 4th quarter, my phone was beeping every 5 seconds and my increasingly euphoric texts to friends were garbled and misspelled because my hands were shaking with excitement.<\/p>\n<p>Todd and I are going to both celebrate for a while. Like every other JMU alum I know, we&#8217;re on cloud nine. We&#8217;ll try to gather our thoughts after we calm down a bit and post a real game wrap soon.
