JMU Sports Blog

We're joined by our great friends and full season ticket crew to talk 2022 in JMU sports - best athlete, best moment, etc. Plus a metric ton of "old guys leave" Holiday content. We love you all but this one is a highlight for us personally as it's so rare four friends in middle age get a couple hours alone to have a few cocktails and just enjoy being together. Happy Holidays to all of you in our l...

The guys celebrate an unforgettable, unexpected joy of a season that finished with a wood-shedding of the Beach Chickens.

Volleyball is ranked 22nd in the nation and just took the Sun Belt title in Year 1! Plus both hoops teams starting out hot. Then we move onto football's second massive comeback this season and Bridgeforth welcomes its first ranked opponent for a hell of a season finale this week! And a Thanksgiving OT. Thanks to all of you for listening all this time! We love ya.

(0:06) First, we talk all things hoops with featured guest Basketball Head Coach Sean O'Regan. Spoiler - both teams have high hopes for March! This was a fascinating conversation covering the disappointment last year, some inside-baseball talk about scheduling, and early impressions of the Sun Belt from a non-football perspective. (52:00) Then we spend some time reveling in football's win in Norfo...

A banged up Dukes team disappointed again in Kentucky last weekend, but there were still some solid performances and best of all, it's friggin' ODU week! Plus soccer thrills and heartbreak and hoops tips off. See you next week for some happier podcasting!

Whole lot of learning going on from the team to the fanbase to the entire JMU extended universe.

That one hurt. Like, it really sucked. But we’ve got all kinds of goodness in the future and we’re surprisingly calm about it after a couple days of losing it along with a lot of other fans 😉

Looking back at the win in Jonesboro and looking ahead to Statesboro. Plus maybe a little talk about the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll having a line that reads "James Madison" and what the next seven weeks could be! Thanks to Mossy Creek Fly Fishing as always!

The fellas talk about JMU destroying the Bobcats in the Withers Bowl and surviving a really rough weather day. Then they look ahead to JMU's first trip to Arkansas St. in primetime on NFL Network. Plus some fun questions from y'all let us get really ridiculous on the speculation front (Gameday, undefeated, Top 25, etc.). Plus it's time to really start paying attention to Dukes Field Hockey and Wom...

Well that was one way to renew hostilities with an old rival, huh? 14 years since the last matchup and these two teams just picked up right where they left off. App loves to talk about how everyone else considers them their rival but they're above it. Wonder how their fans will feel about the trip to Rocktown now? We'd been excited for the Dukes to start playing the Mountaineers again but even we...

We've had enough with all the "we love everybody" vibes from the early season Sun Belt. But we sort-of put that aside to have a great conversation with AJ and Big C from The Black & Gold Podcast (@BlackAndGoldPod). Is it Saturday yet!?

The fellas talk about the Sun Belt's ascension to the mountaintop of the college football world. Plus some thoughts on the FCS cupcake week victory and what this App game means going forward. Finally, a really fun OT we're trying to record for the second time!

Wow. That performance was incredible and our production is the opposite. Hope this works better and love anyone that's hanging with us!

Let’s try this again!

The boys gossip about media day and early parts of fall camp before mercifully doing some crazy OT stuff for the last time in 2022.

Surprise Friday pod. The boys talk O/U's in the Belt, JMU Baseball's two draftees, and Founding Fathers Hoops

Guess it just wouldn't seem right if the Sun Belt era for JMU didn't start with more massive shockwaves of realignment sloshing around the shores of college athletics. But while it's not good for college sports, we feel better than ever (naively?) about the Fun Belt that's about to kickoff!

JMU joins the Sun Belt Friday!! At long last, the transition and yelling is over and a new day dawns for JMU Sports. We're thrilled to be DONE with the last two years of frustration but it's worth one last look back at the biggest moments from the CAA era before we move on to talk about our wildest dreams for the future of the Dukes. Have a great long weekend and we'll see you in the Sun Belt in a...

Before the era officially switched to Sun Belt mode next week, we wanted to take a few minutes to make sure the 2021-22 JMU Athletics’ year wasn’t forgotten in all its transition-related weirdness by looking back at our top 3 memories. Thanks to all the Dukes that made this one special.

Had a lot of fun answering your random questions this week! Plus we graded our breathtaking audio quality and welcomed Homefield Apparel back to the JMUSB family.

Mike and Aaron from The Monarchists join us to rip the band-aid off and discuss all things ODU and the return of real sports-hate to JMU fans’ conference lives. This was a fun conversation with some good people doing good things down in Norfolk. Let the rivalry resume! Plus visit https://auctions.networkforgood.com/auction_item_list.php?auction_id=1560 to bid on amazing fishing items for the Silen...

Lax falls but finishes a superb season, Baseball and Softball are going to have a combined Senior Day this weekend, some great Pro Dukes updates, and Track wins a big conference title.

The boys take a look at the road ahead in the NCAA tourney for JMU Lacrosse. Nothing is easy in the big dance, but hard to complain about the draw and the opportunity the Dukes have this weekend in Baltimore. Thanks to Mossy Creek Fly Fishing!

We talk Lax back in Top 10, NIL, and take some listener questions (we really should do this more often).

First, love you all. It's been a soul-crushing week at JMU so this is a little delayed and a bit disjointed but it's a great one. We breezily talked Spring Game football and Lacrosse on Monday night, avoided the hard part Tuesday when we checked in with A-State expert and real pro Kara Richey from Jonesboro's 95.3 The Ticket (14:00). Then we got back together to poorly muddle through our thoughts...
