I've never felt emotional about the AP Top 25 Football Poll, until today. Knowing and telling the story of this program for 35 years and the people who have brought this school to this historical time is incredible. This fits my definition of awesome.

Just take a moment and realize/appreciate what this team has accomplished with no ultimate goal and no finish line other than 1-0 each week. Built to win championships even when there isnโ€™t a title to be won. Theyโ€™ve done it twice! If this has been fun, just imagine โ€˜24.

I've been covering JMU sports for 36 seasons, seen the bulk of its NCAA history. It is more than remarkable, that each week, more like every three days, something historical happens with this program. Volleyball at-large and seeded into the NCAA tournament the latest.

Blending brands of ESPN, SBC & JMU is a win-win-win, IMO. At JMU, we've been working hard since 2007 to bring quality live productions of homes games in all sports. Now, more people will see those productions, and the work of many contributors. The platform makes a difference.
