Tigers v. Dukes

[andy7171]

WOW I guess calling JMU fans "jerks" playfully gets an entire thread deleted. xrolleyesx xconfusedx \\

Anyway, the jist of my previous post was I have 1-2 hours free so I might spend them coming up 15 miles to the Towson tailgate. ny one who is coming up, I'll be wandering through the visitir arking lot on the way to the alumni parking lot. Let me know a distinct feature for me to recognise you, and I'l stop by and say hi.

[JmuSkinsfan]

Not sure if I'll be there early enough to tailgate. And since I'll be heading to my grandparents place in Gettysburg afterwards I won't be drinking if I am. I'll be the college aged kid wearing my Student Duke Club shirt with a north face jacket over it. Also attempted to give myself a mini mohawk tonight that I was gonna die purple, but I did it crooked so the less attention I draw to it the better haha

[bandl]

Wish I could make it today, it would be fun to make fun of Towson State to your face xlolx xlolx ;)

[JMU Newbill]

I am saving my tailgating for the playoffs.... too lazy to make the 2ish hour drive up from Richmond

Have fun and be safe to ever makes the trip today though! I'll be watching the game on the internet

[StrikeJMU]

alright, let the boozin' begin...kicking off the new townhouse by watching the JMU game...sucks it has to be on the damn computer.

[StrikeJMU]

i'm upset that I won't be hearing my normal JMU commentators...don't know these Towson guys but they seem cool, they speak well of JMU.

[JMU Newbill]

haha i agree about the commentators.... atleast they are carrying the game on Madizone though.... better than nothing

[StrikeJMU]

yea, im pretty pumped they are carrying it.

[JMU Newbill]

so is this the only thread going for this game?

[StrikeJMU]

looks good to me.

[JMU Newbill]

wow.... they kicked to him

[StrikeJMU]

you can't even hear the fans or environment with this broadcast.

[StrikeJMU]

big play, pass to the TE. gain of 35

[StrikeJMU]

big run..H-Man...to the 20

[JMU Newbill]

yea the voiceover makes it sound kinda odd..... i wonder if our band made the trip today

[StrikeJMU]

29 yard TD run by Landers.

[JMU Newbill]

great run!!!! touchdown JMU!!!

[JMU Newbill]

stannard!!!! come on man... extra point no good

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Go Dukes.......

Band did not make the trip...students on break..

[StrikeJMU]

ill ignore it and blame it on the wind. on a lighter note I like both teams jerseys, Towson's is cool and I like our white with the purple pants.

[JMU Newbill]

it will be interesting to see how we do against an all pass offense

[StrikeJMU]

damnit.

[JMU Newbill]

towson driving very well.... big gains on 3 straight pass plays

[vaughtdj]

towson moving the ball well so far

[StrikeJMU]

TD Towson. quick and easy drive by the Tigers.

[vaughtdj]

damn quick answer by towson td

[JMU Newbill]

that's not encouraging at all... i might have to crack open a beer

[StrikeJMU]

that's not encouraging at all... i might have to crack open a beer

I'm on brewski #3.

[JMU Newbill]

"madison travels very well".....

yes... we do! and everyone complains about us

[JMU Newbill]

touchback.... 1st down JMU at the 20

[StrikeJMU]

"madison travels very well".....

yes... we do! and everyone complains about us

haha we "can" be jerks...but at least we make being jerks look attractive.

[JMU Newbill]

shut up announcer and tell us if it was a first down or not

[vaughtdj]

landers is really starting to get those reads right now, moving up to midfield

[StrikeJMU]

run game looks solid. (as always)

[JMU Newbill]

another first down for jmu..... ball on the towson 37 yard line

[JMU Newbill]

id really like to see holloman have another strong game.... he is gonna be important in the playoffs

[StrikeJMU]

apparently Towson cameramen can't follow what Landers does either...

[JMU Newbill]

1st and goal JMU... just inside the 10

[vaughtdj]

1st and goal jmu

[StrikeJMU]

if it comes to 4th down...my money says we go for it.

[JMU Newbill]

3rd and goal from about the 4

[Dukie95]

TD JMU

13-7 Dukes

[StrikeJMU]

TD JMU!!

[StrikeJMU]

landers is really adding to those passing TDs.

[JMU Newbill]

great catch!

we are starting to look confident going to the tight end down in short yardage goal line sets..... nice little play

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Who caught the TD pass?

[alexale23]

DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[StrikeJMU]

I was hoping for the "jump pass" that we have pulled off before.

[StrikeJMU]

welcome alex...your absence was noticed.

[alexale23]

hey strike u ready for the playoff next week you going to H town

[StrikeJMU]

sack!

[JMU Newbill]

claussen caught the td pass

[StrikeJMU]

if i can get tickets then there is nothing that can stop me.

[alexale23]

shoot man go up there you will find tix

[alexale23]

illegal formation offense

[JMU Newbill]

shoot man go up there you will find tix

Yea.... absolutely go anyway! If for some reason you can't get in, just tailgate until the start of the game and go to B-dubs.

I won't be able to make it for the first game.... going down to georgia for thanksgiving

[StrikeJMU]

i got plenty of boys who can prob help me out...(the ol' fraternity has pledges working on it for alumni).

[JMU Newbill]

so these announcers are starting to sound fairly biased..... you can hear the suttle "awwww man" when towson drops a pass

[JMU Newbill]

another solid rodney landers run! 1st down dukes

[StrikeJMU]

more than 200 yards of O in the first quarter...800 for the game?

[JMU Newbill]

3rd down and 4..... i predict landers run

[JMU Newbill]

4th down.. you know we are going for it

[StrikeJMU]

damn Kirby.

[JMU Newbill]

that was sloppy at best

[StrikeJMU]

hubris.

[StrikeJMU]

Daniels=a beast.

[alexale23]

Yea.... absolutely go anyway! If for some reason you can't get in, just tailgate until the start of the game and go to B-dubs.

I won't be able to make it for the first game.... going down to georgia for thanksgiving

Dam u will be able to get in no doubt. I have gotten tickets to much more popular events at the event. Thanksgiving weekend especially 1st round no prob gettin tix

[JMU Newbill]

Dam u will be able to get in no doubt. I have gotten tickets to much more popular events at the event. Thanksgiving weekend especially 1st round no prob gettin tix

I will def be there for the second round game (knock on wood). Tailgating at full force as always.

I'm hoping I can score tickets from someone....

[JMU Newbill]

another big third down stop for JMU

[StrikeJMU]

ur prob right...i'm not a big turkey fan anyway.

[StrikeJMU]

blocked like the hot chick by the fat friend.

[JMU Newbill]

blocked like the hot chick by the fat friend.

I'm waiting for someone from Towson to comment on that being inappropriate. Little does he know... its ok for us to say that... .there are no fat chicks at JMU

[StrikeJMU]

someone call the police, these commentators are depressed and might kill themselves!!!

[alexale23]

TDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[JMU Newbill]

the announcers could not sound more excited about that Landers touchdown!

[JMU Newbill]

FYI.... Richmond 20, W&M 0 in the third quarter.... that W&M playoff shot might be fading

[StrikeJMU]

I'm watching it on Comcast also.

[alexale23]

FYI.... Richmond 20, W&M 0 in the third quarter.... that W&M playoff shot might be fading

i think that started fading the second the sun came up this mornin

[vaughtdj]

schaeffer sacked again

[StrikeJMU]

Congrats Lee...new Towson WR record.

[vaughtdj]

towson driving into jmu territory

[vaughtdj]

great return! good field position for jmu

[vaughtdj]

mickey plays it conservativly... fg for jmu

[19Duke97]

How much time left in the half?

[JMU Newbill]

mickey plays it conservativly... fg for jmu

Write that down.... Mickey doesn't do conservative often

[alexale23]

we need a 3 and out here then a td

[alexale23]

856 left in half

[19Duke97]

Wow that takes balls to go for it on your own 29.

[19Duke97]

or stupidity

[alexale23]

well ill take a 4 and out

[vaughtdj]

dagger time

[StrikeJMU]

the commentators are fighting...haha TD JMU.

[19Duke97]

TD Dukes!!!

[19Duke97]

These commentators are hilarious, just picked up the Baltimore feed

[vaughtdj]

wow i know youre down and you got nothing to lose... but still thats just suicidal

[jmufan999]

it will be interesting to see how we do against an all pass offense

i worry about that, my friend. i really do.

and among other teams out there, app state concerns me in that area. they really can throw or run at any time, and if they chose to throw 30 times [edit: 30 times per game, IF we are to play them at some point this year], it would make me more nervous.

[alexale23]

they ant playin for nothin this is their super bowl

[19Duke97]

Schaeffer is a better passer than Armanti, ok ASU fans are now going to blitz me...

[StrikeJMU]

well Armanti is out today...so today Schaeffer is throwing better the AE.

[jmufan999]

Schaeffer is a better passer than Armanti, ok ASU fans are now going to blitz me...

huh? i'm a jmu fan. that was a comment.

[19Duke97]

huh? i'm a jmu fan. that was a comment.

I'm telling you Schaeffer is a really good quarterback, and Im not syaing he's an all around better QB, but he is a better pocket QB.

[19Duke97]

It's just the rest of this team stinks

[vaughtdj]

mcgee comes in and shows wheels

[19Duke97]

on pace for near 700 yards.... haha

[Dukie95]

37-13 Dukes

[StrikeJMU]

goliath has out played david in the first half...towson needs devine intervention.

[Dukie95]

Haven't been any updates in a while

51-13 JMU

[StrikeJMU]

i think the silence speaks for itself.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Haven't been any updates in a while

51-13 JMU

Yes.......time to run clock and come away with no injuries.

Landers and Holleman both with 100+ yards rushing.......we may get another back with 100 before this one is over.


Also, sounds like Schaffear has taken a beating today...


Go Dukes.

[blur2005]

Towson scores on an 18-yard pass to make it 51-20 after the extra point with 13:57 left in the 4th quarter.

[blur2005]

Drew Dudzik is in at QB for the Dukes now, by the way.

[Dukie95]

Towson with another TD

51-27

[StrikeJMU]

td towson. 51-27...2nd touchdown against the 2nd string of JMU.

[South Carolina Duke]

Dukes Roll!

[BDKJMU]

I know this is old news, as it happened yesterday, but this was interesting:

"Madison added a late -- and somewhat controversial -- final touchdown when tailback Jonathan Rose scored from 10 yards out with 39 seconds to go. Longtime Towson coach Gordy Combs clearly was irked by the Dukes' decision to run a play rather than take a knee.

"You have to ask him why," Combs said when asked if the final touchdown upset him. "All I know is, in 1992 we had the same situation. We were ahead 28-21 with less than a minute-and-a- half to go in the game and we took a knee."

Matthews said he didn't think about kneeling on the final drive because he was angry at poor execution by his second-team offense. He said Rose's touchdown wasn't meant to run up the score.

"I was just trying to get a handoff at the end without fumbling," Matthews said. "To be honest, we were really upset with our second group. ... I didn't think about it. We sure weren't trying to rub it in."

Schaefer, Lee and linebacker Jordan Manning -- who led the Tigers with 14 tackles -- all said they were fine with JMU's play-calling at the end of the game, noting the score came on a relatively simple inside running play."

But 2 years ago in a similar situation vs UD:
"The Dukes’ offense was so explosive Saturday night, it nearly scored a touchdown Matthews didn’t want it to. While running out the clock in the final minutes, backup quarterback Rodney Landers broke off a 45-yard run, getting tackled at the Delaware 2-yard line.

On the next play, Landers took a knee, ending the game with a gesture that was appreciated by Keeler.

“I told Mickey, I said, ‘I really appreciate that,’” Keeler said. “Quite honestly, I would have done the same thing. But if he didn’t do it, it wouldn’t have bothered me because we didn’t contract for a score here, we contracted for a game.”"
