James Madison

[katstrapper]

Va Tech 16
JMU 14

2nd Q

[WestCoastAggie]

Va Tech must be thinking about throwing the game to prevent Boise State from going to the National Champ. game. xlolx

[katstrapper]

take that back...its going into 4th Q

[MacThor]

And JMU takes the lead!

[katstrapper]

yes they did....WOW!! 21-16 early 4Q

[redspider]

I am watching now on ESPN News and I must say I respect them. They are giving props to the CAA and said "Clearly Virginia Tech didnt come prepared to face a team the caliber of JMU" from a conference like CAA. They then started rattlinng a number of CAA teams who had defeated FBS teams. I must say they have done there research and are finally learing something about who are the best teams at the FBS level. xthumbsupx

[SalukiJim]

FUMBBBBBBLLLLLLLEEE Jmu recovers!

[SalukiJim]

Ahahahaha the bozos on ESPN3 are making excuses - they're playing on wet grass, they played late Monday night, boo freakin hoo!

[Old Cat Fan]

F---nig studio clowns blaming this possible upset on the fact VT played Monday night

[TexasTerror]

This is phenomenal!

Another banner day for the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) if James Madison can shut the door and we still have a few potential victories on the docket! Go JMU!

[Nebuta]

Big 3rd down here. If JMU gets 6 inches. UPSET CITY.

[Old Cat Fan]

1st down Tech last time out

[redspider]

Yeah they are making tons of excuses now short week wet grass etc. I though this we are supposed to get tired since we have fewere scholarships and less depth and always have to go on the road? lol

[SalukiJim]

1st down JMU, forcing tech's last timeout at 2:24. Hang in there JMU!

[bandit]

let's go JMU, finish them off!!!!

[SalukiJim]

Yeah they are making tons of excuses now short week wet grass etc. I though this we are supposed to get tired since we have fewere scholarships and less depth and always have to go on the road? lol

Yeah it seems like the excuses only apply to the big boys. :D

[Nebuta]

Tick, tick, tick goes the clock.

[Old Cat Fan]

Ahahahaha the bozos on ESPN3 are making excuses - they're playing on wet grass, they played late Monday night, boo freakin hoo!

Too funny Saluki, you said bozos, I said Clowns- E.S.P

[WestCoastAggie]

This was a consipracy concocted by the BCS presidents to Keep Boise St. out of the National Championship game. xlolx

[thmst30]

An FCS team beating a ranked FBS team had never happened before, and now it's about to happen twice in 3 years. Crazy. Welcome to the club JMU.

[SalukiJim]

Heh, great minds think alike!xthumbsupx

[SalukiJim]

everyone watching this on ESPN News? 4th and 1 15 seconds left!

[Nebuta]

15 seconds from a big win for JMU and the CAA.

[SoCalAg]

Boise sucks!

[DTSpider]

Congrats JMU!!! Great win. Even the spiders were pulling for you this week.

[SalukiJim]

PENALTY ON VT ROUGHING THE KICKER!!!!! CONGRATS JMU!

[JSU02]

CONGRATS! GREAT WIN!

[SalukiJim]

Boise sucks!

Yeah all those dirtbags at ESPN wanted to talk about was how this affected Boise's ranking...

[darell1976]

JMU congrats!!!!

[Mattymc727]

Congrats JMU, Way to represent!

[Old Cat Fan]

JMU to the top of the polls

[SalukiJim]

So much for those vaunted VT Special Teams!

[soccerguy315]

go ahead and push JMU up your ballots everyone

[strike00]

Congrats JMU!

[SalukiJim]

Who wants to start the obligatory "Should JMU be ranked #1 in the polls this week" thread?? :D

[MacThor]

Knew it wouldn't take long for an App St. fan to come into this thread and pat themselves on the back.

[GradBison]

Way To GO JMU! Congrats on the huge upset!!

Way to represent the FCS.

[SalukiJim]

Who wants to start the obligatory "Should JMU be ranked #1 in the polls this week" thread??? :D

[bandit]

wow, congrats JMU!!!!!!!

[TheValleyRaider]

Way to go DUUUUUUUKES! xthumbsupx xhurrayx xbowx xthumbsupx xhurrayx xbowx xthumbsupx xhurrayx xbowx xthumbsupx xhurrayx xbowx

[redspider]

Way to go JMU! As much as we are rivals today you reprsented our conference well! I must admit I did nto see thsi coming especially with your starting QB out for the season. But what a game by Dudzik they werent ready for your offense. CAA Football simply the best!

[MacThor]

Dudzik is better than their "starting" QB.

[SoCalAg]

that sound you hear, a collective NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from the mountain region of Idaho

[dennisdent]

Congrats to JMU! I work with a bunch of VT and JMU grads and I can't wait till Monday morning.

[rufus]

Not bad for the 6th best team in the CAA.

[DFW HOYA]

That was no last minute upset. JMU beat the Gobblers up and down the field.

[blackfordpu]

Great game JMU. ESPN doesn't even have this upset on the main page. Could they possibly be ignoring the fact that a "big boy" got beat by JMU?

[thmst30]

Knew it wouldn't take long for an App St. fan to come into this thread and pat themselves on the back.
Seriously? What a stupid *** comment. This is the 2nd time it's EVER happened. Where in the hell did I pat myself on the back?

[redspider]

Dudzik is better than their "starting" QB.

Yeah didnt realize that till I watched this game. Also intersting how this actually hurts chance of a non-BCS conference team Boise State making it to the national championships because of there weakers schedule with this VTech being there "quality" win. This is why there should be a playoff in FBS. Guess for now I will just have to enjoy ours!

[SalukiJim]

Seriously? What a stupid *** comment. This is the 2nd time it's EVER happened. Where in the hell did I pat myself on the back?

To quote that great philosopher, Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along? " It's all good fellas!

[EmeryZach]

Holy Cow!!! Way to go JMU!!!

[NHwildEcat]

A real big congrats to JMU, their fans and alum and the players themselves! Way to showcase yourselves and showing the rest of the country the CAA can bring it....

[whitey]

My adrenaline is still through the roof. Unbelievable win.

[UNH Fanboi]

So is JMU "back"? Can they keep this up the rest of the season?

[Retro]

Kudos to ESPNEWS for picking up this game in the 3rd qtr and showing most of it till finish... Great win for JMU and great day so far for FCS.. More to come?

[Nebuta]

Great job JMU on the big win. Big Day for the CAA.

[JMU2004]

I am on cloud 9...after all the heart breaking losses in big games, we finally take down the biggest regular season win in our history!

Still far behind our NC game!...but wow

[proasu89]

Hell yeah WOW! Enjoy the moment and congrats! xsmileyclapx

[R3TRO]

Pretty legit..... dammit ;-\

[Old Cat Fan]

Yes just when my dream of UNH beating Pitt was broken, you guys get it done GREAT job and Congrats again. Anyone know where Michigan was ranked when App beat them?

[EmeryZach]

Biggest win for FCS since Appy beat Michigan. Think JMU will get the sports illustrated cover?

[Umpire]

Yes just when my dream of UNH beating Pitt was broken, you guys get it done GREAT job and Congrats again. Anyone know where Michigan was ranked when App beat them?

#5 and the pre-season cover of SI. They were expected to go to the National Title game.

[49RFootballNow]

That would be nice but I doubt it. Hope I'm wrong.

[SoCalAg]

Michigan was ranked #5, but dropped all the way out of the top-25 and we discovered rather quickly that they were verrrrrrrrrry overrated that year

[Old Cat Fan]

Just went looking, **** game has its own wiki page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Appalachian_State_vs._Michigan_football_game

[Old Cat Fan]

This game will once again fuel the argument that FBS teams have nothing to gain by playing them, xrotatehx

[Oldhen]

Congrats to the Dukes... so long as you choke against UD.

[GaSouthern]

GREAT JOB JMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mntneer]

Great win for JMU and FCS. I guess I haven't been paying attention to them so far this year. Where are they currently ranked?

[appstate38]

I hear you Dukes...... Way to to get another big win for yourselves and the FCS Nation.

[Cocky]

Good Job and congrats

[Madisonian]

We're obviously very proud of the Dukes today. By the way, Dudzik is our starting QB... our backup Thorpe was hurt in the first season game.

[son-of-info]

This was not a fluke. From what i saw of the game JMU just plain looked like the better team.

dukes deserve this

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Great job Dukes, you did the entire FCS proud today.

I absolutely hate that every single recap of this game is spinning it that VT completely choked and lost to an inferior opponent. What can the FCS do to break the perception that our teams are just as talented as many of the FBS squads, and that our wins are due to skill and ability, not just luck?

I'm looking forward to October 2nd, it should be a hell of a game. The CAA is strong this year, so there should be room for both of us in the playoffs.

[DX Man]

Way to go Dukes!

[blur2005]

Fantastic win. Great day to be a Dukes' fan for sure. As a UVA alumnus and JMU grad student, this is perfect.

They also can't shut up about how this diminishes Boise St's win against VT. An FCS team beat a ranked FBS team again, and in their world the only thing worth talking about is the BCS ramifications.xnonono2x

[Saint3333]

Congrats to JMU, great win against a "big brother" that must feel good. Enjoy wearing purple to the office Monday!

My only complaint is with ESPN why only a 30 second highlight and 10 seconds interview with the Mouth. I want to see more of this game. Hopefully college football final with show more.
