We&#8217;ve been waiting for JMU to play for another National Championship since 2004 and today is the day. Your JMU Dukes vs. the Youngstown State Penguins in Frisco, TX for the title. There&#8217;s nothing we can say that hasn&#8217;t been said already. We&#8217;re not one to question anyone&#8217;s fandom, but if you&#8217;re not pumped up for this one, we just don&#8217;t know. The two of us are fortunate enough to be at the game. All Dukes fans are welcome to our tailgate. We will post our final location to @JMUsportsblog on Twitter and our the JMU Sports Blog Facebook page. If you&#8217;re in Texas, we hope you swing by to say hello. For everyone else. We hope you&#8217;re all settled in and ready to root wherever you are. Whether you&#8217;re by yourself on the couch, with friends at a watch party, or in Frisco, this is a wonderful day to be a Dukes fan. Consider this your official open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game chatter.
