In any case, it was the nuptials of former OLinemen and current NFL hopeful Josh Wells that brought this unexpected photo treat this weekend. Congrats to the Wells&#8217; and DukeDog&#8217;s gotta be good luck for a marriage!<\/p>\n<p>Also, with the news that the CAA&#8217;s UNCW Seahawks drew a 13 seed (slowly creeping back to respectability) and the even better news that they will face punkassed Grayson Allen and always upset-prone Duke (at least when they&#8217;re not a top seed), we really will all be able to Feel the Teal. Before the last five years or so as the Crumbling Athletic Associations&#8217; membership has looked more and more like a who&#8217;s who of safety schools, we always loved cheering for the champ in the Big Dance and it will be fun to unabashedly do so again for one of the old-school stalwarts.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D8425&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>We&#8217;ll be back with our big update on #JMUGivingDay tomorrow (needless to say, the Softball team wrecked shop and happily made our wallets a touch lighter this weekend), but we just couldn&#8217;t resist a good wedding post.
