Keydets March into Bridgeforth

[JMU Newbill]

Really cool article about the VMI vs. JMU game. Apparently, in a combined effort between VMI and JMU students, the game ball is being marched from VMI to JMU over the next 3 days. The trip is about 60 miles down interstate 81, although I think they are marching down Route 11 (which runs parallel).

Really good stuff.

Towson and Delaware students do the same thing the morning of our game together. It's like 54 miles between the school, so the meet half way.

FWIW, I wouldn't want to be a Delaware student and be the one to run it over the Tydings Bridge over the Susquehanna, that thing is WAY high!

Salute to all Keydets and Madison ROTC

Yes, a great tribute to our folks in the Armed Forces. They will march up U.S. 11, and camp out twice along the route.

In May, two to three dozen cadets will make the same march, but continue on to the New Market Battlefield; a long-time VMI tradition as the school year winds down.
