These events are always odd in that they&#8217;re fun for reasons we seemingly fail to anticipate every year &#8211; namely that we always forget through the long winter that follows football season how great it is just to hang out and talk JMU sports with other Dukes &#8211; and hilariously underwhelming when it comes to what we actually want to hear &#8211; obviously something other than #CAA4Lyfe. That said, they&#8217;re usually free and always a beacon of news in the relative offseason (noting that hopefully one of our Diamond Dukes squads will still be playing in Mid-May of course).
