Impossible for JMU to look this good.

They didn’t continue the JMU culture and went outside with a new coach hire. They have to contend with NIL and the transfer portal.

I was told these were insurmountable issues for G5 programs.
Not to mention that they had all staff turnover at so many positions. You know how you hear some people say this or that can't be done? What they are saying is they are too inept to do it. They don't want to give up their power or their influence so they need people to think something that is not true.

I want to see how this season plays out and hope Shawn wins out but if we lose 3 more I will indeed be ready to look for a new coach.
It’s not just football. We can’t win in baseball either because we play in extreme altitude and unbreathabley thin air. The excuses here are insurmountable.
I know this is sarcasm. Our baseball team has overperformed the past 2 years. Imagine if the baseball program got 1/15th of the money and attention the football program got.

At this point I’m thinking the baseball team will outscore the football team several times…

No. I’m referring to the cavalcade of excuses fans give as to why baseball at App pales in comparison to other midmajors in our region.

Clearly, the problem is the Sun Belt. Every D1 sport at App forced to play as an affiliate in a different conference than the SBC is currently that conference's defending champion.

This is the climate of college sports now. You never know who is going to show up and play and who won’t. Paid mercenaries have no country to fight for. It’s just about the money.

Like we are the only baseball team in the nation that plays in high altitude? I remember all the excuses from Laney and a few others. It is so funny. I really am amazed at what we have accomplished with so many excuse makers and incompetence at our school at times.

I think the JMU players were just auditioning today for the teams they are going to play for next year.

JMU had a buy week last week to get ready.

Was at the game. Our daughter is a UNC freshman. JMU nothing special but much better than UNC today and us thus far for season. Other daughter graduated from State so our family is O'fer this weekend in embarrassing fashion. On the bright side we took the luxury of leaving at halftime today with the rest of the mass exodus from Keenan

They will be out for blood in Boone. And they might get it in more ways than one.
You were saying the same shit last year and look how it turned out. Clearly Clark isn’t the guy to get App to the playoff, but it doesn’t mean JMU is going to come into Boone and cake walk. South Alabama got 2 weeks of prep and rest to App’s 3 days. Let’s see what happens moving forward before casting too much judgment.



As it turns out, Clemson is really good. The UGA game got away from them but it doesn’t matter. If Miami and Clemson continue to win; both will get in the playoff. The UGA game was nothing more than a preseason exhibition with the new playoff.

Indeed. Baseball is doing well now and we have had good seasons. There were several who said we could not ever be good at baseball though. Just laughable at all the excuses we get. I noticed in college that incompetent or lazy people are the ones who give the most excuses.

I don't expect JMU to cake walk us. Depending on how Liberty looks tonight I expect us to beat them but I still think we go 7-5 or 8-4 unless I see a lot of improvement over the next 3 games though. I do think the SBC is down this year and our champ might be 9-3.

Barnett figured something out today. He had been garbage in every start and then today comes in with almost 500 yards of offense and 7 touchdowns.

I just think the doom and gloom here is a bit much. There is a huge amount of attrition on the defense already, to the point where freshman are playing at every level.

On offense, you’re really lacking speed. Ponce has always had one or two speed guys to stretch the field and that is missing right now. At the ECU game, receivers couldn’t get off of man coverage. At ECU, receivers couldn’t get off of man coverage. South Alabama seemed to play quarters a lot which is ideal for stopping the deeper routes, and they were able to win up front despite being outmanned in numbers.

So how do you fix that? Speed.

From what standpoint? I don’t think it brings in much money to the University but probably the wrong person to ask. Someone else might have those details.

The baseball team is not a revenue generator if you are talking from a net positive cash flow...The stadium is very rarely filled to 1/2 to 2/3 capacity. The games are enjoyable. However, it is not a net positive cash flow is my guess.

Part of my concern on the speed issue is that we either did not go out and try to get it or we just missed out and got beat by our piers for it. I see speed on other teams so we know it was out there.

Which is why my enthusiasm for college sports is going out the window. If others think the same our program will suffer. Too many my age fill the stands every home game.
