Just to keep it rolling, does one deep run (championship or no) justify a top ten?
Nope.

Tell ya what, when the Spiders visit Bridgeforth on Oct. 1, stop by my tailgate, I'll buy you a beer and you can release your message board anger towards the Dukes a little.
Yes, we're rivals. I do know plenty of JMU fans and grads that I'm friendly with.
I just don't understand the (mis)perception of the JMU program by JMU fans and fans of other teams on message boards. Can anyone explain to me why JMU is considered among the Top 3 or 4 FCS Programs, besides the fact that they are working on a $62M stadium expansion?
xconfusedx
Based on actual accomplishments, JMU would barely belong in the Top 10 of this list.
Is Tennessee considered one of the best programs in BCS just because Neyland Stadium seats 110,000?

Please explain to me why anyone would believe anything that's said on football message board...anything! Especially this one, it's sole existence is nothing more than a place for fans to say anything to rile-up an opponent! I just assume that everything that's said here is tongue-in-cheek...it keeps everything in perspective and even makes me chuckle a great deal. Besides, there's a handful of posters who didn't have UR on their lists...in the end, who cares!
My invite for a beer is still open...stop by, we're a lot of fun!

NDSU? Lol, no chance. What have they done in FCS?

Um excuse me, but NDSU got robbed in the Bill Fette bowl. That's what they've done.

Are you going to elaborate on the easy JMU over UD point, or are you just going to keep handing out tickets to the beer summit in the White House vegetable garden?

So in your book you rate attendance, 4 mostly irrelevant FBS wins, one trip, and two wins in the FCS playoffs ahead of eight trips, 10 wins, three FBS wins, three quarters, two semi's, and one NC. Interesting.

Eight trips? How far back do you want to go?
Eastern Kentucky = 19 trips, 15 wins, 2 quarters, 3 semis, 2 finals and 2 NC's
BTW, Idaho in 2003 and 1997, UConn in 2001 (a year after they moved up)... did you think I wouldn't look that up?
