We have got to get a big crowd at Villanova. Would the Duke Club consider having a bus from Richmond? Look how much our fans did for the team on Saturday. The team loved it! You can tailgate all the way to Villanova on the bus! Thoughts???

This would be AMAZING. A bus from Harrisonburg would be more probable than a their bringing JMU buses to Richmond first OR hiring ones out of Richmond. There would probably be enough interest to fan-source the money for a bus out of Richmond but not sure how quickly that could be whipped together!

For those within Amtrak's path - another GREAT way to get to the game. Just grab the regional rail at 30th Street Station to go out to campus. There are a couple of bars between inside 30th Street and the Cira Center and wouldnt even need to feel the chilly weather before arriving on campus.

If I have 50 people I can whip a bus together today leaving from Richmond.

5dimes line opens with JMU -3 1/2 and o/u 60 1/2

Nova jumps to #9 .... another huge game for us.

UR loses and only drops 2 spots? I promise you we won't get that benefit of the doubt if we lost. What a joke.

well, think of it as making our win more respectable (though 47-37 would have had a better ring to it)

Look at it from the perspective of a poll voter: Richmond just lost a close game to one of the top teams in the country!

Polls are junk this year. By their logic, we should cancel our FBS games and play D2 schools from now on.

JMU isn't getting the respect it deserves. It's ok. Just keep winning!

+1 we never did or do in any polls. Longhorn's right forget the polls, just keep winning they'll have to look at us then!

I think your passing yards allowed stat is wrong. JMU is last in the CAA so they can't be better than Villanova in the national ranking

You are correct, not sure what I was looking at. I believe Richmond was ranked #1 last week and are now #2 and W&M is #3

I believe we'll be a little less effective in our run game, but they'll not stop us in the air, I don't care how good their pass D is. Though, we have a nice combination of both, airing it out has been rolling for us this second half of the season.

I guess we'll see if defense wins championships!

Little bit more concerned about this game than I was about the Richmond game.

I keep wondering how many games can we go without giving up a sack. So facing the best D with a good pass rush............ this will be more of a test than we had at Richmond where I think with just one exception , our QB wasn't even touched.
