With Houston leaving does this change your pick in this game?

[BisonBacker]

There's already a poll but those picks were all done prior to the news of Houston leaving JMU for the Charlotte job. Does this change your pick?

[Daytripper]

I had already picked Colgate.

[Reign of Terrier]

I'm still picking JMU, but it will be closer.

[BisonFan02]

I had already picked Colgate in the playoff eliminator

[TheKingpin28]

I took Colgate in the poll.

[Bisonoline]

I already picked Colgate and staying the course.

[POD Knows]

I picked JMU in the survivor deal which is part of the reason why he left JMU. Gate fans can thank me later for this assistance. It hurts to be this powerful.

You better go into hiding, I'm sure the JMU fans will be looking for you.

I picked Colgate before this, and I'm sticking with it.

I picked Colgate before this, and I'm sticking with it.JMU can still win, I didn't drop any #bookit karma on them, hell, if I would have done that the whole team would have probably come down with the Black Plague at the same time.

Their hands will be full of streamers, throwing them at Houston's house.

His custom built house?

[caribbeanhen]

Nope, no change as i had Colgate winning all along,

[TheKingpin28]

Well this way, they will now know what they can do with their hands. xlolx

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

No.

I had JMU and will stick with it.

[JSUSoutherner]

I was Colgate to begin with.

CAAn't wait to watch the CAAn't go 0-6 OOC.

[ElCid]

I don't think it changes much. It was going to be a low scoring affair, and maybe if some game circumstances come up, it could impact, but I still think JMU takes it by a whisker.

[Derby City Duke]

Nah; picked the Raiders twice.

[NDSU1980]

Not changing, I had Colgate from the beginning. This just widens the spread.

[Go...gate]

Seems to me that, if anything, James Madison will play harder and better - to send their coach out on a high note - or, in the alternative, to send him a message that he should have stayed. Just my two cents.

Honest! Check my votes. Every time we've run into a decent defense this year, our offense for the most part has curled up into the fetal position. We beat UD because their QB was less mobile than the goalposts at Bridgeforth.

If we do win it's because of our own defense and special teams.

Nice meme, though xpeacex

[Bisonator]

I'll stick with JMU but always thought this was a toss up game.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

I'm still going with the upset....JMU over Colgate.

Go Dukes.

[Professor Chaos]

Go Dukes.
JMU is still favored by 7 by the sports books so I wouldn't call it an upset.

[BEAR]

I'm changing my vote.

Losing a head coach during a playoff actually does hurt the team.

I felt bad for UCA against UNH last year! You guys were a rudderless ship!

Tell the committee and most of these AGS fans that.

Do you have any real life examples to back that up? Only one that comes to mind is 2013 NDSU. We know how that went.

Well... there's UCA from last year. Which is what I suspect BEAR was referring to by that comment.

NDSU 2013 was just too strong and had lots of great upperclassmen leadership. I think they probably could have managed to make it through the playoffs without a coach at all, but Klieman staying probably helped quite a bit too as all that was shaking out.

[flyrod]

Still staying with JMU in a close one.
