If you happen to be a Skins fan around my age, then you’re one of the few people on the planet\u00a0who understand how an old, bald, bitter, condescending, and orange man like Tony Kornheiser became a national sports pundit despite obviously not having watched an actual game he wasn’t paid to\u00a0cover in the last decade:\u00a0 The Bandwagon!\u00a0 This weekly column served as one of the true highlights of the magical 1991 Season when the Skins ruled the world and Chainsaw Dan Snyder was nowhere in sight and\u00a0was definitely\u00a0the first sports “column” I followed religiously.<\/p>\n

All Aboard!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Just wanted to give credit where it’s due as after tonight’s beatdown <\/a>of fellow CAA “hot” team UNCWilmington despite losing Andrey Semenov to injury (we’ll update on Twitter @jmusportsblog when we hear more), the Dukes Bandwagon is now not only rolling, but absolutely smoking!\u00a0 Time\u00a0for all you alums\u00a0who have been\u00a0wishin’ <\/em>this would happen to\u00a0start believin’<\/em>\u00a0 and climb on board The Dream Express!<\/p>\n

The picture on the left says it all and the biggest week of JMU Men’s Basketball since Lefty left the ‘Burg is upon us.\u00a0 And the Dukes enter this week’s massive tilts @ Old Dominion and then hosting George Mason in FIRST PLACE IN THE CAA!\u00a0 We’ll update viewing party info for the ODU game as soon as we have it and we encourage everyone who can to make an effort to find your way to the Convo next Saturday morning.\u00a0 GMU game is now a rare 11 a.m. tipoff so that it can be broadcast nationally on ESPNU and it’s time to spread the word and bring back the Electric Zoo!\u00a0 Seriously, if nothing else, start spreading the word to climb aboard the bandwagon!<\/p>\n
