There really isn&#8217;t much going on in the world of JMU sports, so Todd and I are laying low and taking advantage of the opportunity to spend some time with family and friends. Hopefully each of you are able to do the same. And speaking of family, we should probably mention that each of our better halves showed their support for our Dukes sports obsession on Christmas morning. I don&#8217;t want to spill the details, but thanks to Todd&#8217;s lovely wife the JMUSB tailgate experience is sure to be much better next year. And my wonderful wife got me tickets to the JMU vs GMU game. She also got me 2 seats for the Avett Brothers show in February, making this Christmas pretty fantastic in the ticket department.<\/p>\n<p>The Dukes have a big out of conference test against Kent State this weekend before the CAA schedule kicks in. We&#8217;ll be back with our thoughts on the Dukes win (think positive). Until then, enjoy the rest of the holidays and stay safe. And if you got any cash for Christmas, don&#8217;t forget to take advantage of the <a href=\"http:\/\/jmusportsblog.com\/?p=1809\">JMUSB match for Autism Speaks donations<\/a>. We&#8217;ll be wrapping things up and making the matching donation before year end.
