\"Guessing<\/a>

Guessing the Dukes will be swapping out the gold lids for the purple with this all purple set for the purple out and it will be BEAUTIFUL!<\/p><\/div>\n

All we really want to do is watch that “Comin’ to your City” clip Gameday put out as the announcement (and Vad Lee’s imitation on balcony of the APC) over and over and read Matt Jones’ incredible behind the scenes story forever<\/a>. I also have no idea how I’m going to sleep or do any work this week. But Madison did play a game this past weekend and we feel it’s only right to say something about that. Well, it was really more of a scrimmage than a game. Believe it or not, in person I didn’t actually think it was the Dukes best work this season, but I’m not gonna argue with 51-0.<\/p>\n

The Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Crowd – Dukes rolled deep in Carolina! And great job by the Triangle Chapter of the Alumni Association.<\/p>\n

Kloosterman and Trai Sharp scoring their first career TD’s. – It was also great to see that Abdullah and Johnson were the first ones out to celebrate with him afterwards. The chemistry on this team right now is fantastic.<\/p>\n

Elon’s stadium. I’ve given Elon as much crap as anyone and I will never not hate that this is what the CAA has become, but that’s a sweet little stadium. Looks great, so easy for fans, and soooo much fun to see a rare game played on beautiful natural grass these days.<\/p>\n

Pretty much everything else the Dukes did.<\/p>\n

The Bad<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stress parents of kickers go through. I had the great pleasure to meet Ryan Maglio’s mom yesterday and it was a thrill to hear his story of perseverance throughout his career to even be in the position he is, but after speaking with her and then watching that nightmare ending for the Michigan punter later, I have to admit that I’ve seriously underrated the sheer panic and terror that parents of kickers go through every single game. Also really cool to hear what a great friend and mentor former Kicker Cameron Starke is for Ryan. Also great to meet Jordan Brown’s folks – couple of good yinzers that LOVE them some JMU!<\/p>\n

The Ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who are we kidding, there’s no ugly when you hang half a hundred on ’em and pitch your first shutout since ’08.<\/p>\n
