I'm going with JMU here...I trust the CAA a lot more than the....OVC is it?

This might be a competitive game, but then again it might not. JMU

We always seem to have very close first round games. But really, most playoff games are pretty close. JMU's first round records since 2004.

2004 @ Lehigh: JMU 14 - Lehigh 13
2005 @ Youngstown State: YSU 35 - JMU 31
2007 @ Appalachian State: App St. 28 - JMU 27
2008 @ James Madison: JMU 38 - Wofford 35

With both teams good at rushing the football I think this one will not only go by pretty quick but will end up being a nail biter.

I picking JMU. Lehigh has some history with both programs with direct consequences to both of their National titles. I think JMU has a better shot against NDSU, and I'd love them to pull that off, along with us upsetting Towson. Then I can make the game on 12/10. Not sure I can get out to Fargo if we get by Towson, though I wouldn't mind seeing the Dome.

Hope you enjoyed you little dig...here's one for you.
Was in a meeting last week with someone who just moved here (Richmond/EKU) and he was talking about what good crowds you have at NDSU games and then he said " but then there's nothing else there to do"...sorry, he said it not me.....
