As a\u00a0result, he&#8217;s gets to guest post. Here&#8217;s his take on things JMU and some sign ideas for Saturday.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I picked the DUUUUUKES to win 42-0, mostly as a joke and yet it somehow ended up being fairly accurate. Admittedly I didn\u2019t watch any of the game so I won\u2019t even attempt to break down the win but I will say the Dukes \u201clooked\u201d impressive from my smartphone scoreboard watching.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was ironic on a day we were rooting for big programs to lose to give JMU a chance to host College GameDay (built by Home Depot, Harrisonburg\u2019s biggest supplier of beer pong tables) that the Dukes were playing Elon, a school most people outside of NC didn\u2019t even know existed. While they have developed into a rather good school over the past decade, it\u2019s still difficult for me to imagine JMU and Elon being in the same conference but alas that is todays CAA. Thankfully the Dukes took care of business and all the other stars aligned putting JMU in the national spotlight. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My DVR is set and I\u2019m giddy with anticipation about checking out the ESPN shots of campus. While many people often get frustrated with the student turnout at games I have no doubt that our current student body will do us proud during all of the ESPN segments over the next couple of days. With that said here are some signs I\u2019d love to see:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JMU category:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">D-Hall Dash<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duke Dog Was Robbed #2004neverforget #capitoloneistheworst<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vad &gt; Corso<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JMU 21 VT 16 (cause of course we have to)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vad Lee the FORCE AWAKENS<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonsense category:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Louisville Recruit <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you kill a spider?

Personal feelings aside I wonder what the impact of ESPN coming to JMU means. When combined with the expanded stadium, Withers hiring, and success on the field does JMU take the additional national coverage and decide it is time to move up (if given the chance)? On the contrary, does the administration argue that had JMU already moved up to FBS there is likely no chance that ESPN comes to the Burg? Would GameDay want to feature the 4-3 Dukes vs 3-4 Central Michigan? Probably not. I am not trying to spark any crazy debates just some food for thought. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I took a puck to the neck during a mens league hockey game last night so that is about all the typing I can handle right now. Which reminds me did you know JMU now has a hockey team and they are actually pretty good\u2026.Times they are a changing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See everyone out there on Saturday.
