Seriously, what fan base on the road, down by 2 possessions with 12 minutes left in the 4th quarter, stuck in a miserable concourse wet while waiting for over an hour rain delay, but proudly chant their school name believing their team will overcome the deficit?

Some light entertainment for you to start the day. Duke Dog is the BEST, and low-key feeling Gus' moves here as well. Awesome ending ๐ Happy Friday!

James Madison is expected to hire Duke co-DC and safeties coach Lyle Hemphill as its new defensive coordinator, sources tell
@247sports
.
Before being part of Mike Elkoโs staff at Duke the last two years, Hemphill was defensive coordinator at Wake Forest.
Can y'all please stop favoring NDSU by playing 3rd down bell only for NDSU and make the crowd cheer and make noises with your in-game entertainment activities only during JMU offense?? This was blatantly obvious in 2017. Much appreciated ๐

After speaking with family & friends, and seeing that JMU FB is in good hands, I have decided to not exercise the remaining of my eligibility & return as a dedicated supporter of JMU. We are JMU Nation. Respect my decision ๐๐ซก
See you in Texas

The JMU Culture. We embrace anyone who believes in our values, our dedication to hard work, and our goal for excellence.
Athletes, coaches, staff, students, fans, family, and friends. We are proud to wear James Madison across our chests.
We love JMU

Listen to my conversation with James Madison QB Jordan McCloud as he and the 21st-ranked Dukes play host to UConn on Saturday inside Bridgeforth Stadium.

It's almost like Matt knew it all along. The iconic shot of "The Walk" had a different version. A version where it's about the Dukes of JMU and our legacy ๐๐ซก๐

Props to App State fans we met. Maybe this is by chance? Some of them we talked a little friendly smack but ALL the ones we met supports us on being eligible
I told em' their success is what we model ourselves after & they said we're the best G5 environment they ever visited๐ค๐ผ
Honestly, one of the best things with all this, is that we get to complete this football head coach hire under Bourne's watch before he retires ๐
#GoDukes
I asked Bourne when he hopes to have a head coach hired. He says he's moving quickly to give the new coach a chance to work the transfer portal. Says he hopes the new coach will be in attendance for JMU's bowl game.
A few folks don't like this and/or say they won't go to the bowl game. Understandable, cope how you need
I, along with our JMU faithful, WILL GO TO OUR FIRST BOWL GAME EVER TO SUPPORT OUR DUKES
This 2023 football team is ONE unit & they're special. One last ride for 'em boys ๐ฅ
#ThisDayInNDSUHistory
: December 16, 2016. NDSU's five year title streak ends with a 27-17 loss to James Madison. The Dukes race out to a 17-0 lead, only to see the Bison rally to tie the game at 17 in the third quarter. JMU quarterback Bryan Schor throws the GW TD on 3rd and 10.
Tbh, ODU has been unpredictably dangerous this year. But our guys will be ready and locked in ๐ Keeping our foot on the gas and focusing on preparation. Bridgeforth will be rocking in six days ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

@DaveRiggert
Sounds like from Wrobo's interview, folks like Nick Kidwell and other folks within our network are involved with the team. The bond and brotherhood in this one is unreal!

Great article below w/ audio option ๐๐ฝ
#GoDukes
Reminders:
JMU head coaching job is arguably one of the BEST HC openings (predecessor P5 caliber)
JMU Nation is arguably one of the BEST fanbases (CGD Record!)
JMU AD & FB program are some of the BEST supporting systems there are!
Great stuff is in the works!

What an amazing run by a true dawg ๐ Very unfortunate that the injury interrupted his historic accomplishment. Whatever is next, hoping for the best for my guy
@LilJayyy_1
here with speedy recovery ๐๐๐
Also a few grown adults.. Pls refrain from saying dumb sht like "you chose to leave". Some of these guys wanted to see their options w/ the unknown
Players & recruits - most shown maturity beyond your time. Not even kindness, kill em' w/ silence. Not all deserve your attention
2019 is behind us & 2020 is here. But we all know
@JMUFootball
has unfinished business. We'll face the biggest challenge w/ the toughest opponent & crowd but you can't stop our momentum. Our team is ready and JMU Nation is ready

So proud of JMU Nation. So proud of everyone packing the Quad & at Bridgefortg till the end
The BEST College Game Day crowd, the BEST Pat M. Show, and the BEST Sun Belt team (10-1) with the BEST fans in the conference
This is not the destination. The journey continues
#GoDukes
JMU Nation, there are a lot of emotions out there! What an amazing ride Coach Cig took us. We have ONE LAST FINALE to cap off this season. LETS FINISH IT THE RIGHT WAY!!
I AM READY FOR THAT BOWL GAME. GO DUKES ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Arguably the best tailgate in JMU history could be the next one around the corner. Shortly after the largest crowd in Game Day history, this is JMU Nation bringing our tailgate to the streets of Dallas, TX ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

All I know is this,

is filled with kids who are proud to put on the jersey. The culture and traditions will attract the next great player to Harrisonburg. All the best to those who choose to leave. I have total faith in

"[Portal] is college football today. The guys that are in it they are just weighing their opportunities, and everyone understands that [] supports them no matter what."
Most of these young men showing maturity while a handful of grown adults can't grasp the reality of CFB
While being the highest-rated player in JMU history can be a special milestone, not sure that should be a key consideration for Jah Jah. Rather, bc of what he loved about JMU & how he felt being here, like players, coaches, students who discovered this special place
