one final attempt before I retire for the evening.

I'm thinking of 4 programs that you guys probably keep an eye on:

E. Washington (last years nat'l champs): Lost today to Montana, are 0-3 this season

Villanova (CAA, perenial playoff contender, past nat'l champ): Lost to MONMOUTH (are you freakin' kidding?), are 0-3 this season

William & Mary (CAA, we love to hate them nearly as much as JMU): BARELY beat New Haven by 3. A DII team. REALLY.

we win out and you guys will get over this one, and probably need new pants

BJWilliams wrote:I just got back from the game...it really was about missed opportunities on offense tonight. If we cash in something on those 3 possessions where we came away with no points, this is a different game. I think my theory held true tonight as well...LU didnt get off to a fast start and we gave JMU a chance to play us even in the first 10 possessions. I said that if it was a low scoring/close game, itd favor the Dukes...thats what we got, then when the offense picked up, JMU had the confidence (and the passing game) to make the right plays when they needed to be made.

BYD I have to disagree with you though...you want to jump ship, I'll find a life boat for you and jbock.
I appreachate the offer, but I won't even be getting on the boat BJ. I'm sick of looking for the good in everything. WE LOST. That's all that matters.

Yeah BJ, I was stating Hayes was injured not that he didn't play. Good thing he did play he had a great game.

Hayes looked great. Ditto for Kelly. Still think Summers needs to ramp it up... looks like he's on auto-pilot out there, and not in a good way.

that crossing route (?)he scored on in the 4th was a thing of beauty tho...

TTL and I will just have to make our own rowboat :D

At least I still concede we'll probably still win the Big South.

I noticed Chris was jawing at MB pretty often. He was not happy with the lack of throws. Mike wouldn't even look on his side of the field for a series it seemed like.

Wow guys, I can understand the frustration but don't be so down on yourselves. Brown was tremendous (I hope you have a good one lined up to replace him next year), and the receivers were ballers. Everything looked first class for you guys except the outcome. You've won a lot of respect from JMU fans.

High expectations are good, but perspective is better. Good luck the rest of the way.

ok- I lied.

ONE LAST THING

the video board looked frickin' sweet on TV. wish I couldve seen it in person.

and props to the crowd - looked and SOUNDED fantastic. May have been the loudest I've EVER heard at an LU game (on tv)

what was the final number? thought I heard 18,800?

EDIT: 18,878 (thanks gametracker)

GOOD FOR 2nd ALL TIME

TTL- Did Kelly play? I thought I heard one of the announcer say something about him in the 2nd half being dressed?

Kind of glad I was stuck in the air with no WiFi. I probably would've been ended up getting myself into trouble, haha

Seriously though there is no excuse. I believe we have more talent then JMU, this pattern is getting old real fast

I'm pretty sure he ran a few plays in the 2nd half. Not many though.

For the first time in years I feel like there is a complete disregard for discipline...and tonight was yet another example of it.

Id have to agree HMO...11 penalties for 120 yards?!? Some of those unsportsmanlike penalties should be grounds for morning gassers

It's beyond penalties though...its a mentality thing at this point, now its finding its way onto the field.

Not to make a issue out Asa, but the lack of discipline there, could very well carry over in other parts of this team and it looks like it may have

Maybe that is a bit of a low blow and not the case here, but its hard not to think that way

JMU had Scott who ran with authority and was elusive. We do not and did not have a Scott on our end of the ball.

Chippy it helps when you keep giving him the ball. What surprised me more was their seemingly newfound passing game.
