Now any game against the Ticks is one JMU fans want to win. This Saturday&#8217;s contest might mean even a little more than usual though, with JMU still fighting for a playoff bid. Richmond is a solid team that should not be taken lightly. And despite the fact that as JMU fans we&#8217;re practically obligated to poke fun at the Ticks&#8217; high school-esque stadium, JMU has yet to win there. (<em>ed. note: I just Googled &#8220;high school stadium&#8221; to see if Robins came back in the result. Sadly, it does not. However, there are some very impressive high school stadiums out there. We might need to come up with a new insult, because Richmond&#8217;s facility doesn&#8217;t really hold a candle to those of say, Stadium High School in Tacoma, WA or Allen High School in Allen, Texas to name a few. But I digress.<\/em>) Will this be the year the Dukes get it done in Robins Stadium? And for any of you who&#8217;d like to test your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsbettingacumen.com\">sports betting acumen<\/a>, Richmond opened as a 7 point favorite. Let us know who you think will win and what the final score will be in the comments. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner &amp; score) will get to write a guest post next week. Pretty simple, right? Now get to it.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D7284&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>It&#8217;s Richmond Week.
