App vs JMU could end up with a great rivalry. #UpsetU
Lol, I bet JMU hates us!!
I thought it was there from the FCS days and especially the 07-08 years. Assuming we stay in the same conference for a few decades I could see this supplanting GaSo for all-around rivalry in all sports.
As soon as JMU joined the Belt, there was a rivalry. It just went dormant for a few years after App moved up, until JMU followed.
Not sure I fall into "rivalry" status with JMU. Just my opinion. If JMU had not been very good in basketball (like when in CAA), would many have cared other than to see App win a game. Stink can role into Holmes with only two wins and I still want to beat them by 1000.
For me, the only reason jmu football game was important was due to them being undefeated and in our way to conference championship.
Sure, we played them in fcs playoffs a few times. That does not make it a rivalry for me
We played Marshall for several years every year. That would be more of a rivalry.
Everyone has there perspective. I like having one rivalry...and some other games that may be more important than others. Marshall is next in line if I had to pick a second rivalry..
Maybe jmu gets to more important game status, no matter the record, at some point in time...but not at this time. If jmu were 0-7 in football when we play them, just another game. Stink rolls in at 0-7, best em by 1 million.
JMU online fans .. totally different perspective
