First, thanks to everyone who chimed in on our “greatest JMU QB ever” poll last week. Not exactly a surprise, but Rodney Landers was the runaway winner. Really we just can’t believe Cory was the only one to mention Maddox in the comments!<\/p>\n

\"Hopefully<\/a>

Hopefully the Mickster’s last schedule, pictured here, is the last of its kind.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"What,<\/a>

What, you thought I was done? Dadgum it son, we’re gonna whoop up on cupcakes even if our crowd looks more like a high school game by the week!<\/p><\/div>\n

Moving on, we’re both alternating vacations the next couple of weeks, and while we’ll try to dig deep and find motivation to preview a few CAA heavyweights, there’s no level of “putting on a good face” that allows us to dedicate ourselves to in-depth reporting on RhodeI or the Fighting Christians or the Great Danes. But fear not, it’s only 18 short days till Women’s Soccer welcomes Georgetown to the ‘Burg for the first real game of the 15-16 year in JMU sports! It’s actually only 12 days till that same team visits Mason in an exhibition game on the 15th. And even better, we’re now a scant 33 days – less than five weeks – until the football season kicks off at Bridgeforth Stadium on September 5th (though admittedly we’re still nine weeks away from an opponent anyone gives half a turd about).<\/p>\n
