We&#8217;re back with a vengeance this week though. On Saturday the Dukes will face the Rhode Island Rams on the road in Kingston, RI. The Dukes are looking to bounce back from a tough defeat at the hands of West Virginia. Rhode Island is simply hoping to stop the bleeding after two blowout losses to open the season.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a refresher, here&#8217;s how the contest works. Everyone leaves comments with their prediction of who will win and what the final score will be. The person who comes closest to accurately predicting the outcome (winner &amp; score) will get to write a guest post next week. And it&#8217;s worth noting that of all the people who were kind enough to introduce themselves to us last Saturday at FedEx, the second most popular thing they wanted to talk about was how great this year&#8217;s guest posts have been. The first thing everyone want to talk about was whether or not any WVU fans were going to try to kick my ass because of the preview. So hat&#8217;s off to Tedward and Stu for getting the ball rolling with some outstanding guest posts. We&#8217;re looking forward to reading some more good ones throughout the season.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D4380&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got sort of caught up in the excitement of planning our first JMUSB bus trip and tailgate party last week and forgot to run the prediction contest.
