The following is a guest post from Colleen, a current senior at JMU.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The fans of the James Madison University Dukes know better than anyone what it means to be a part of a winning program. After the JMU football team <\/span>plowed through nearly every opponent they faced in the 2016 season<\/span><\/a>, eventually clenching the title of <\/span>national champions on Jan. 7, 2017<\/span><\/a>, JMU fans have been given plenty of reason to sing their fight song proudly. Clearly establishing themselves as the brightest team in all of the CAA, don\u2019t they deserve to perform in front of a crowd as large as the Bridgeforth stands will hold? <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, JMU students have some of <\/span>the greatest school spirit of all FBS schools<\/span><\/a>, but winning does get tiring, even for a bunch as rowdy and spirited as the dukes. Sometimes it takes a little reminder to get them back on their feet, howling \u201cMadison, James Madison\u201d so here it is! <\/span><\/p>\n

After all, the football team has shown us with their 21-game winning streak, which is in fact the longest winning streak left in the country, that JMU is simply meant to break records. <\/span>25,330 is the number to beat for this year<\/span><\/a>, for fans in attendance; are you up for the challenge, JMU Nation? <\/span><\/p>\n
