James Madison @ William & Mary Game Thread

[JMUSaxMRD]

JMU defers to the second half and W&M has a completion for their first play.

[th0m]

Ehhh 7-0 W&M :o

[JMUSaxMRD]

7-0 W&M up, McCollaugh (sp?) bobbled and W&M caught and ran it in :(.

[JMUSaxMRD]

McGee returns the kickoff to the 42 yard line.

[th0m]

1st down at the 39.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

C'mon Dukes.....................let's tie this baby up...

[th0m]

1st down at the 16.

Damn I'm sorry but these W&M announcers are getting on nerves already.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

[JMUSaxMRD]

Dukes Onside Kick and recover!!!

[th0m]

NICE!

Now lets shut them down. We always give up the opening drive, usually for a score.

[th0m]

WOOHOOOO!!

Ball at the 42.

[th0m]

14yd run by Landers.

[th0m]

1st down at the WM25, about 8 mins to go in the first.

Landers running at will.

[JMUSaxMRD]

JMU commentators are ripping up how bad W&M's press box is, broken windows, can't see the whole field, having to see through cracks in the box to see the field. Hillarious!

[Madisonian]

Can someone please tell me where you are listening to this game. The JMUSports page is not airing the game. So glad I paid the monthly dues.

[Cranium716]

Is there anywhere to get live stats for the game?

[th0m]

I think JMUSax is listening to the local radio feed.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

First and goal....

[th0m]

Yancey to the 1 for a 1st and goal.

[JMUSaxMRD]

Yah sorry guys i'm listening to 550 AM in harrisonburg

[JMUSaxMRD]

TOUCHDOWN DUKES! 14-7 JMU up! 1 yard run in by Yancey!

[th0m]

Alrighty, this is looking more like it.

[Madisonian]

Nice. I will just enjoy you guys posts. Please be specific on plays as I am in the ATL and can't pick up that AM channel from the burg.

[th0m]

Madisonian, if you don't mind scratching your ears off, you could give the WM audio a try: http://www.tribeathletics.com/liveaudio.html

Pritchard drills it in the endzone.

[JMUSaxMRD]

You should complain about that to madizone and demand your money back and a free subscription for next year :) 15 yard personal foul penalty on JMU W&M starting on their own 35.

[Madisonian]

Thanks ThOm!

Hey JMUSaxMRD.......pep band went tonight........you still playing in the band?

[JMUSaxMRD]

I am still in the band but I have a huge test monday and big project due friday. That and they aren't spending the night so it'll be a long late night for them. I AM going to go to all playoff games that the band goes too, but this weekend was an academic choice (that and I'm not a fan of the W&M experience, treated us badly when we beat them at zable my freshman year)

[JMUSaxMRD]

4-10 W&M at JMU's 31 went for it and turnover on downs. JMU Ball

[Madisonian]

The W&M commentators suck. It sounds like a g...da.. highschool football game.

[Madisonian]

Seriously...

[th0m]

JMU D holds! Turnover on downs.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

........my son went tonight....a real road warrior that he is....

[th0m]

Seriously...

Haha, I did warn you :p

Still, better than nothing.

[JMUSaxMRD]

Huge run for landers!

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Yancey looking to have a big night...hope he can hold on to the ball.

[Madisonian]

Griff Yancey is my hero... until he fumbles the ball.

[JMUSaxMRD]

Who is your son and what does he play? I wanted to go but the band hasn't been as much fun for me this year as my section leadership has not been very good...

21-7 TD DUKES! Yancey runs it in!

[th0m]

YANCEY TD!!

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

TD............Yancey

[Madisonian]

Thank you Jesus Madison, thank you!

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Who is your son and what does he play? I wanted to go but the band hasn't been as much fun for me this year as my section leadership has not been very good...

21-7 TD DUKES! Yancey runs it in!

Andrew B.

Bass Trombone....he is one of the section leaders.

[th0m]

Ahh who better to beat up on than W&M...

It's still early, but the D looked promising in that stop on 4th down, good coverage causing 3 incompletions that would've been completions if not for JMU defenders' hands.

[JMUSaxMRD]

I love your son, he is hilarious and quite popular in the band. Don't know him too personally though, although I've talked to him a few times.

[JMUSaxMRD]

End of the First Quarter 21-7 JMU on top!

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

I love your son, he is hilarious and quite popular in the band. Don't know him too personally though, although I've talked to him a few times.

...thanks......

He is the ultimate MRD........He would march for 10 years if he could...lol


Go Dukes

[Madisonian]

Give it back to the Dukes!

[JMUSaxMRD]

4th down W&M on their own 37 yardline. Sounds like a punt to me.

[JMUSaxMRD]

Blocked punt, JMU ball at the 25! Recovered by Marcus Turner!

[Madisonian]

Th0m, seriously... I think I may throw up.

[th0m]

Woohoo!!

[th0m]

Th0m, seriously... I think I may throw up.

xlolx

Hey it's 1:47AM here, I'm staying up listening to this stuff so I think you can manage as well :D

The good thing is that JMU is kicking butt.

Bolton TD! 28-7 pending XP

[JMUSaxMRD]

TD run in by Bolton! Go DUKES 28-7 assuming XP

[Madisonian]

Touchdown...

[Madisonian]

Well, it helps that my Brother-in-law is at the game and keeps calling me in advance of the play by play.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Dukes need to pile it up tonight.....flex the muscle......make a statement.

[th0m]

PLUS, always great to hear the JMU band over the announcers!

[BDKJMU]

Landers 8 carries for 94 yards. Still 1st quarter! xeekx xeekx

[Madisonian]

PLUS, always great to hear the JMU band over the announcers!

Indeed, not a sweeter sound in the world.xthumbsupx

[JMUSaxMRD]

Indeed, not a sweeter sound in the world.xthumbsupx

I feel bad for you having to listen to W&M's announcers. If they're anything like the stereotype of their students I might want to go deaf.

[JMUSaxMRD]

HAHA W&M's press announcer is a JMU Alum, he is wearing a W&M sweatshirt but underneath is supposedly JMU long underwear?! Weird thing for JMU's radio announcers to talk about, but hey good to have a fan in the W&M booth.

[JMUSaxMRD]

W&M scores :( sounded like a long pass, 28-14 JMU up assuming XP

[BDKJMU]

I will be calling to cancel my subscription AND writing a letter. I suggest everyone who has a subscription and is upset about this do the same.

[th0m]

Go to www.wmet1160.com, and click on Listen Live in the upper righthand corner.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

This may be a high score affair...........Dukes need to shut down the pass.....especially with Towson coming to town next week.

I'm in the same to boat. Listening to the W&M announcers. Not cool, not cool.xnonox

[Madisonian]

The dukes are awesome! Thanks for the W&M Penalty.

[th0m]

Lol it's tough to gauge whatever's happening when the fans are audibly booing over the radio feed, since the JMU contingent seems to be quite sizable.

[Madisonian]

This announcer is a complete douche bag.

[th0m]

Landers is just incredible, turning a 1st and 20 into a 2nd and one.

WM cannot stop JMU's running game.

Yancey with a 12 yd carry.

[JMUSaxMRD]

I was about to comment that JMU seems to have more fans there than W&M does.

Just in case Madisonian and others missed this.

[th0m]

At the 10!

[JMUSaxMRD]

Yancey down at the 10 yard line. JMU said that everyone seems to be havings problems reading W&M's yardlines... go figure.

[JMUSaxMRD]

TD Dukes! 10 Yard TD run by Landers! 35-14 assuming XP!

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

My prediction was 35-14......................maybe that should have been my halftime score....lol

THANK YOU! I was about to rip my ears off!

[th0m]

You're welcome, just relaying the info.

Moats gets a sack!

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

THANK YOU! I was about to rip my ears off!

.............................DITTO.......this is very nice.....xthumbsupx

[th0m]

Stiffening defense, W&M punting on 4th and 10. Landers in for special teams.

[JMUSaxMRD]

JMU's Landers almost fumbles on a Punt Return, but 15 ( i think? ) yard flag on interference with fair catch or something like that.

[th0m]

1st and 10 at the 47 now, false start for JMU, no penalty for W&M.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

I can't believe that Matthews does not have someone else to handle kick returns. I would hate to see Landers suffer an injury.

Go Dukes

[Cranium716]

So much better on JMU Radio...the W&M guys never would have used the phrase "caucus of zebras."

[JMUSaxMRD]

Hey MRD Dad, you are aware the MRD's are marching in Macy's Parade in 2008? I can't wait!

[th0m]

So much better on JMU Radio...the W&M guys never would have used the phrase "caucus of zebras."

Haha I know, I love the JMU announcers. Although it always puzzles me whenever Schikman gets excited as if they get a 70yd TD run when they gain like 3 yds or smth :P

[Madisonian]

Th0m: thanks for the new broadcast. I almost didn't make it.

[JMUSaxMRD]

29 Yard Field Goal! 38-14 Dukes almost half time.

[JMUSaxMRD]

Well guys, it has been great chatting with you during the first half of this game. I'm going to go listen to the 2nd half at my friend's house while playing some Halo 3. We get the ball 2nd half and hopefully tear up W&M while keeping all of our guys healthy. Uncertain whether or not we should leave our starters in all game or not for "Style Points" to hopefully get a playoff bid! Hopefully I'm not chatting on here any more this season during the games, as I will hopefully be at all of them (including the playoffs if we make it, unless it is more than 6 hours away). Will show up for postgame chat though.

[th0m]

Talking about Yogi Bears xlolx

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Hey MRD Dad, you are aware the MRD's are marching in Macy's Parade in 2008? I can't wait!

Oh yes.......I was on the field that day when Rikers announced the trip. I don't think Rooney would have ever had the band parents on the field.

Did you go to Ireland last xmas with the MRD's? My son said it was the best time of his life!! He is really PUMPED about the Macy's parade trip.

He is also going to London this coming summer with the Brass Band.

Are you a music major?

[th0m]

JMU 38, WM 14 at the half. I'll probably call it a night and hope JMU doesn't slow down in the 2nd half.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Great JMU crowd at the game tonight........

[Cranium716]

Wow, McGee returns the 2nd half kickoff to the W&M 7!

[alexale23]

woah

[BDKJMU]

McGee for 66 yards on the ko return to the W&M 11!

[BDKJMU]

Yancey carries to the 2, Yancey to the 1, Landers carries for the TD!. 45-14 JMU pending PAT.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

TD.......................DUKES

[alexale23]

is it 7 or 11

[Cranium716]

They said it was the 7, but the refs marked it back after he said it.

[Cranium716]

And by they, I mean the JMU announcers

[BDKJMU]

It was marked at the 11, not that it matters.

[alexale23]

where are the WM fans at tonight

[JMU Duke Dog]

where are the WM fans at tonight

I know my younger brother is there tonight! xlolx

[alexale23]

he probably left already

[JMU Duke Dog]

he probably left already

He is in the Tribe pep band so he cannot leave! xlolx

[alexale23]

whats going on with the game

[JMU Duke Dog]

Apparently the Dukes kicked a FG...

JMU 48
W&M 14

[BDKJMU]

Bolton "kicked" the short kickoff trying to recover it n the run, W&M recovered on the JMU 39.

[BDKJMU]

23 yard TD pass, now 45-28 pending PAT. Penalty roughing.

[alexale23]

i might be worried if lang campbell was still QB

[BDKJMU]

Baranowsky kept that previous W&M drive going with a roughing the passer. W&M went ofr 2, stopped, now 45-26

[BDKJMU]

Oops, 48-26

[BDKJMU]

2 W&M 2tds in under 40 seconds, as that was a 31 second drive.

[JMU Duke Dog]

Oops, 48-26

48-27?

[alexale23]

how much time is left and where is the ball

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Just started 4th quarter....JMU driving...at 39 of Tribe

[alexale23]

some insurance would be nice

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

I think the Dukes would be content chewing the clock......

[alexale23]

whats going on i have no radio

[Cranium716]

I can't remember, have we had any of ours drives end in anything other than a TD or FG?

[BDKJMU]

48-27?

Alright, no more beers for me!

[Cranium716]

Yet another Dukes TD! Landers to McCarter, 55-27, 9:29 left

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

TD pass by Landers...

Dukes 55
Tribe 27

9:08 remaining

[alexale23]

how much time left where is ball

[BDKJMU]

Nice long JMU drive followed by Landers pass on 3rd ^ goal from the 6 for a TD to Rockheed! 55-27

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Dukes block punt......inside 20 of the Tribe.....

[BDKJMU]

Turner blocked another W&M punt! JMU with the ball at the W&M 21! Some backups in.

[alexale23]

whose at QB

[BDKJMU]

2 straight incopletions by Rodney. Sounds like he should have hit the 1st one to Rock. Missed 37 yard field goal...

[Madisonian]

Can we put this in the 60s please?

[BDKJMU]

3 straight W&M incompletions. W&M punting. Rodney still returning punts!xeekx xeekx Fair catch...

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Landers is out now......41 yard line of JMU....run that clock......

[alexale23]

JMU should have a road playoff game if they can beat Towson next week

[BDKJMU]

Dudzik almost got a completion to Rodney...JMU punting...8 yard punt by Pritchard...Pritchard sucks....

[Madisonian]

Let me guess, AppState?

[Madisonian]

Come on 2nd string, where's the pride?

[BDKJMU]

Another long TD pass by W&M. Now 55-34. Defense looks like they took a siesta the last quarter+

[BDKJMU]

This guys are idiots...the Fri 1st round playoff game is listed right on ESPN's website 1:30 in the AFTERNOON, yet these clowns keep saying Fri night.. :shock: :shock: :shock: Don't these guys know how to use the internet...someone at the station should be pointing this out to them...

[BDKJMU]

Game over...55-34

[Very Short President]

I, President James Madison, declare: Yeah Dukes....field of 16 here we come....roll over that Towson speed bump!

[BDKJMU]

It didn't help that DJ Brandon, JMU's best linebacker, went down late in the 1st half to injury & didn't return. I hope its minor. JMU is thin at linebacker.

Alright, present MRDs, I have a question for you (and MRD Dad).

I went to the game last night and witnessed the atrocity that was the W&M "halftime show." For those that don't know, it was basically one big insult to the MRDs.

Everyone I spoke to (including W&M folds) thought it was classless and ridiculous. I got an e-mail about how the band was not going to be performing, but didn't hear anything about this. Did the band know what was up?

[JMUSaxMRD]

I wasn't at the game, but tomorrow I'll talk to the people who went. W&M got mad 2 years ago that we got to play on THEIR field after we beat them after their administration invited us to because it brought in a crowd of locals and non students (raising their attendance). What exactly happened may I ask?

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

......I actually read something on the CAA Zone about the W&M pep band performing at halftime. Even today someone posted that it was funny and not taken as an insult.

My son was there.......I'm headed over tomorrow evening for his concert and will get the full scoop.

We know the MRD's ROCK.......

Go Dukes

Please grow up. It was a typical "scatter band" show, and should have been seen as amusing by anyone with a relatively stable ego. Scatter bands inevitably poke fun at themselves more than anyone else.
