I went to McDonald's this morning and when I ordered my coffee, I told them JMU is FCS Champions. My coffee still cost 65 cents.

McDonald's isn't legally allowed to say they sell coffee, but a "coffee-like" substance.

They sell meat-like and egg-like substances too. They are in the real estate business.

[alabama24]

Yep.

Michael Keaton was vintage Michael Keaton in that film. Great reset.

[LUGrad2000]

I wonder who the major announcement is? I assume it is a big home game. My guess is Vanderbilt.

[ballcoach15]

That's what I am thinking also, a big home game. But I not know who.

[Class of 20Something]

ACC Opponent.

Does that eliminate ND on a technicality?

[LUGrad2000]

It's an ACC team. It's not UVA or Wake Forest. My guess is NC State or Miami (since Rutgers canceled their game with them).

Who needs easy wins? Boston College? Duke? Dark horse: FSU

[ballcoach15]

I seem to recall someone telling me that "no ACC or SEC team" would come to Lynchburg.

[TH Spangler]

Miami was first to APP State. Quick glance their 2019 looks possible,

[ballcoach15]

Syracuse.

Well that didn't take too long. Haha. It's starting to look like Indy might fit us better than any conference. I am all about these opponents!

[ballcoach15]

I knew IM had the connections to work miracles with scheduling. Playing Syracuse is better than playing Charleston Southern or Presbyterian.

That's a solid get. Syracuse needs wins and LU needs brand name home opponents. Plus, having the home game first is the biggest story.

[ballcoach15]

Yes, having a home game vs Syracuse to open our first real FBS season is a biggie. Hopefully we can get one more Power Conference school to come to Lynchburg in 2019.

The point I was trying to make was in this 2-1 deal LU gets its home game first. Which obviously makes it impossible for The Orangemen to back out of a trip to Lynchburg after playing up there. I believe the UVA deal has the first 2 games in Cville making it possible for them to never play in Lynchburg

Let's just say hypothetically that we beat UVA on their own turf. I'm sure by then they may not consider backing out of that game in the burg. It would look bad on their part.

[ballcoach15]

If my memory is correct, UVA backed out of a game with LU in Mr. Jefferson's hometown 2 or 3 years ago.

Ballcoach, that is maybe the UNDERSTATEMENT of the century!

[LUOrange]

This is great for me, a win-win. Do I root for my alma-mater or my hometown team? My dad will be happy too, as I'll go home for in 2020 and 2021 as well. Aside from the obvious, these are winnable games for us.

[lawrenceq]

That's a good look. I'm anxious to see how recruiting will go in the next couple of years because the schedule is coming along nicely and should only get better in the early to mid 2020's.

[ballcoach15]

Recruiting had best be ramped up.

[gerb]

We should simultaneously post every P5 scheduling announcement on the JMU board from now on.

Honestly I hope folks do not. We shouldn't do what they've done to us because it's not worth it. Lets focus on the growth of our program because we need to step up recruiting plus on and off field progress. Let them hate and mock like they've done; if we do the same it would look like what they've always done was right.
