JMU Sports Blog

After completing botching the first attempt to publish this episode, we're back for take 2. In this one the boys return from a not-so-brief hiatus to talk about some stories of interest from the world of JMU sports. They chat about some national podcasts featuring JMU content, the Founding Fathers competing in TBT, and the recent news about LA Tech joining the Sun Belt. Then they look ahead to...

Rob and Todd look back at the lame duck year for JMU sports and give the teams that were boxed out of playing for conference championships some love.

In this episode Todd and Rob take a look back at the first 25 years of this century and attempt to determine what the best year was for JMU sports.

In the episode the guys look ahead to the Spring football game, the new premium seating options, and other nonsense.

The guys record a quick episode from the road (literally)  on their way back from a quick trip up to PA. In it, they talk about both hoops teams and look forward to the mega-byes in the Sun Belt Tournament. 

Todd and Rob are back from the longest break they've ever taken. And the boys are ready to discuss both JMU hoops teams.

Looking back at JMU’s first bowl victory and year one the Chesney era! Plus all the usual holiday shenanigans with annual guests Coach Priz and Dric! Here’s to even more magic in 2025!

Bowls are underwhelming of course but this year sure is a whole more fun than last year!

That was a tough senior night but we’re fighting off any gloom! Much love to all of our little corner of the JMU world!

We try to process one of the most disappointing JMU games in many years. We share frustration about the Xs and Os, outright anger about the fan experience, and some emotional optimism from the true heart of Dukes’ fandom. Love y’all!

JMU football secured its third straight dub in the Royal Rivalry and heads up the Mountain this week!

Football cruised against Georgia St. and heads to Norfolk for a big one this weekend. Plus WSOC wins the Belt and plays Ohio St. first in the big dance. MSOC takes on Marshall in the SBC semis.

JMU didn’t play its best but they took advantage of a get-right opponent and have a bye to prep for a suddenly wide-open SBC East home stretch! Both soccer teams and Field Hockey revving up for potentially huge #EverythingSchool postseason runs.

Sometimes reality is bleak. But JMU the everything school is just fine!

Looking back at Coastal and ahead to a monster game in Statesboro!

Here’s hoping the big game Thursday Night cleanses the stink of this sucky one. Man that one hurt.

We might need one more data point in SBC play this week but the Chesney era is starting to roll a bit. And supporting our friends in Boone.

How we feeling Dukes fans?! JMU hangs 70 on the Heels and everything seems possible again.

Really fun episode checking in on both Soccer teams, Field Hockey, Volleyball, and a school record in Golf. Plus some real optimism and curiosity is back for this weekend’s game down in Chapel Hill. (Spoiler: everyone is now sleeping on the Dukes). And a few OTs and a corrected answer from last week.

Keep Calm and Root for Dukes. A whole lot of sweating and frustration for Dukes on the field and in the stands. But JMU escaped disaster with a stronger 2nd half and the bye week certainly comes with a LOT to work on. Spoiler warning: very few takes in this episode😉

With Todd out of town, Rob is joined by Chase Kiddy to talk all about the JMU Dukes 30-7 win over the Charlotte 49ers. They discuss what the win means in the big picture, the play of QB1, try to figure out the offense, and wonder if Biff Poggi might have been right.

The big one is here! Rob is reasonable, Todd is chugging all the purple drank!

The fellas are finally back in season as Fall Camp races towards kickoff in Charlotte! And after finally digging into the roster this week ALL of our hopes/dreams/expectations are back to a Dukes-appropriate sky-high level. Do NOT sleep on this team being better than last years!

We’re back! Sorry not sorry. And we’re here to talk Olympic Dukes, CFL Dukes, NBA Summer League Dukes and more. Plus starting to really hone in on football season with a few big questions! Go fish with Mossy Creek😉

Well that was fun as hell! Like lots of Dukes fans, we had a joyous weekend watching the Diamond Dukes. They made us proud, brought us back to baseball, and even knocked out an SEC team along the way. What a capper to the glorious 23-24 year!
