No better time then the present, I'm in awe of this squad
-
Im going to guess that everyone but ruiz would be back for the national championship game.
Does that sound correct to the insiders to the program ? or are the suspensions season ending suspensions ?
-
I would assume they would be back, yes.
-
Was explained that they are season ending... or am I wrong that a positive test for street drugs is half the season suspension and PEDS is an entire year?
-
Yes it is 1/2-year and will carry over to next season for any underclassmen.
-
This season started for me at the YSU-WVU game. As we were leaving the WVU fans said we had a very good football team, and we were going be good. Well I guess they knew something we didn't. So proud of these kids. They have taken us for one great ride.
Now I am going to go down memory lane. The last time we played in national championship game was 1999. I was dating by now husband for 5 mths(we were married in 2007 on the same day as the YSU-Lock Haven game). I will not be making the trip to Frisco, but I will be cheering my Penguins on from my home in Butler,PA, or the Guin's Family homestead
-
I'm ready. Let's go GUINS!

Hi, Penguins. JMU fan here. I look forward to a great game in Frisco. I was rooting for you against EWU because I remember vividly our last meeting in 2006.

Looking forward to the game. Nice to have you hear bulldogg

Welcome bulldogg, that game in 2006 was something. It was the only time I saw one of our fans chased out of the stadium by the cops. :o

Please be careful with that. The YSU athletic department might come after you for "trademark violation" as they did to us, the YSU academic colleges.

While there are no real bad seats at Toyota Stadium, most of these are the worst ones available (deep corners). There are plenty of face value tickets available on the 30 yard lines.

I designed them and printed them and currently working with the licensing company to get them licensed. The process is painful. PM me if you'd like one.

Absolutely true; There really aren't any bad seats. There are only ~ 30 rows, so even from the top row you get great views. Sections 103-109 and 124-130 are the best. The rest are OK, but from ~ 10 yd line to goal line.
-
BTW, I'm a Bison alum that lives 20 miles away from the stadium so I have been to all the games in Frisco. I'll go to support YSU if somebody fronts me a YSU ballcap (hopefully in the midst of the JMU side) or tells me where your pregame festivities are so I can buy one if your bookstore has a store down there like NDSU brings. I can't root for JMU, sorry.
Do the MVFC proud and regain your title! Go Guins!

i was at that game--wasn't it one of our posters that the cops tried to harass?
-
There will not be a radio show tomorrow - they are moving it to the week before the game. Also - I see on the JMU site they are starting their ragging on Bo and the state of Ohio and the city of Youngstown - If I remember correctly, they were the most ignorant fans about Youngstown and Ohio from when we beat them in 2006. I would expect the same from many of them since they think their s*** doesn't stink and believe they are the chosen ones. They will be trolling soon.
GO GUINS
-
Congrats on an incredibly gutsy win!.....the cold, the comeback, the catch.....really something else. I was rooting for you because I dreaded playing against EW and their passing game, esp. that Cooper Kupp dude but it looks like you guys have a pretty good balanced run/pass attack, kinda like us.
I imagine we will be favored, esp. after we stunned the champs in their terror dome in Fargo. We fans can get overconfident, I just home the team doesn't! What are ya'll going to do to stop Khalid?!
-
Let's remember that JMU has a new coach. It was that Mickey Matthews that came in here in 2006 with the mouth. Their fans were loud but good. We were just not used to having opposing fans making noise when we have the ball. He was upset that he had to travel, but he needs to realize that this was the TV game for ESPN2, so they picked two clubs that might not have normally faced that early. YSU is remarkably-well set-up for media. Matthews post-game commentary was rude an unacceptable ...lose with some class. How could you insult a QB, especially that just beat you?
-
I sat in the middle of the JMU student section during that playoff game, they were extremely loud until near the end of the game when you could hear a pin drop when my big mouth was momentarily silent.Most of their fans were extremely obnoxious also but I half expected that at their age--their coach Mickey Matthews was a complete jacka$$.
-
Just read their message board. They seem like an awful bitter bunch of people for a loss in a football game in 2006. Sound like a bunch of ********s. And knocking Tressel for sticking up for players is disgusting. Most if not all NCAA coaches do the same thing.
-
Let them be over confident. Just like the EWU fans were. We can do our talking on the field as always.

I'm sure they will always be bitter about that game--they came in here arrogant and thought they were invincible.

Hey guys,
Funny that I still remembered my password from this site back in 2006.
Congrats on an amazing win (what a f***ing catch) and looking forward to talking some football in the next few weeks. Before you think I'm a troll the Dirty in my username comes from being a lifelong Falcons fan growing up in GA - so it's Dirty South. Regardless, we've got an amazing team and we're very confident, something I gather you all are as well - deservedly so.
I'll be watching some video of you all the next few weeks but in the meantime, what are your strengths? I saw some generalized stats for stuff on our boards but I know you guys are a team that has come together in the later part of the season.
To me the biggest matchup will be our O-Line versus your D-Line. I'm looking forward to the battle of your Passing O versus our Passing D as well.
I was one of the students in the stands in 06, and while that loss was brutal for us, most JMU fans respect YSU's history. Glad to see you all making a resurgence.
Cheers, Dirty
-
I'm sure JMU does have a lot of class fans Dirty--welcome back to the board!

Thanks DavedS - any idea how you guys are doing on ticket sales? Lots of haters on AGS saying the stadium will be half empty. I know we sold out our allotment in 2 days and are trying to find more - I've had tons of casual fans reach out to me trying to find tickets.

If you watch video of our offense, throw out anything from the first half of the season. It's changed a lot since #6 took over at QB. Welcome to the board.

Thanks for the tip - is there a specific game where you guys feel you turned the corner? Would love to start watching there.

For my money Missouri State Nov. 19th. They didn't put up much of a fight, but it allowed us to "practice" with a real team on the field and we seemed to "settle in" with Hunter at QB.
In case anybody is getting all excited about going to Frisco after the Ice Castle and the "Inferno", please note the current temp. in Frisco now is 16!!
-
Thanks Go Guins. How does your DLine look? I think our OLine versus your DLine will be the deciding factor. Thanks so much,
Zac

depends on Avery Moss' bad ankle. if he is good by the 7th, our DL will be the best you've seen. if Avery is not good, we will be good but not great. (we sacked Gubrud 3 times without Moss)
you can double Derek Rivers if Moss out.
-
We have 2 NFL prospects on our D-Line. Will probably be the best you've faced all year.

4 great seats! http://www.ebay.com/itm/272490335990?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

JMU fans are confident they will beat us by 2 TD's or more ;)
-
It will be interesting to see how coach Carl schemes them. He pressed with the safeties much more than I thought he would against such a high-powered pass game last week. Especially with no experience. Our line is solid Dirty, but not deep. So we pull up the LB's to give the line opportunities at the QB. However, we have our 2 starting safeties out as part of that player suspensions issue that we went through last week. SO right now we have 2 safeties and only 3 games experience between them. There is your weakness.

Welcome Dirty...I posted the original comment about what I am seeing already on the JMU board. The ragging on Pelini and denigrating of Youngstown only riles us up more. It happened in 2006 and it was disgusting. I am glad we sent you home with a loss because the trash talking by the JMU fans was the worst I have seen. We are a town that has been through the ringer and trying to make a resurgence - like the Penguins! I will talk football all day with anyone - but as soon as I see the personal attacks on our town and our people - I will shut down and we will do our talking on the field.
As far as watching some games - definitely do not watch anything from the first half of season as was stated earlier - anemic was a good name for our offense. Wells has come in and done a great job leading this team. Our D line is outstanding with a healthy Moss and Rivers. The tackles are big and stuff the middle well. We have several suspensions on defense but the back ups did a great job once they settled in against EWU. On offense - our O-line is the heart of the team. All of these teams have said they are the best against the run and will stuff our run game but nobody has been able to do it since Wells came in and opened up the running game by throwing the ball downfield. When we had Ruiz and Webb we were great - with Wells and McCaster - we are even better at running the ball. I watched the NDSU game and was thoroughly impressed by Abdullah. Very good back and reminds a lot of many of the backs we have had here. Schor is has a great release and touch on the ball. This is going to be a great game. Giving our new safeties 3 more weeks to get ready will help a lot and Moss ready also.
Our kick game was great early and struggled with some injuries but I think with the rest Kennedy will be ready to go. He did well in the cold at EWU.
GO GUINS

Still all butt-hurt, are you?

Tonight I was walking through Times Square (with my JMU alum wife) wearing a YSU jacket, and an excited guy stops me and asks, "Youngstown State! Did you see that game?!" He has no connection to either school, or any FCS school, but is stoked for the championship. Penguin love is everywhere.

BO PELINI.... Making YSU Football Great Again!

Wow, 7 suspended players for JMU. Starting WR and LB are 2 of them.

Wow, 7 suspended players for JMU. Starting WR and LB are 2 of them.
They were all suspended before NDSU - our 2nd string LB came in and had 16 tackles. The guy who made the game winning catch was our #1 WR's backup.
As for your DLine, we've faced some pretty good ones this year - UNC, Villanova, UR, supposedly SHSU (but lol) and NDSU. I'm excited to see how our OLine does against you.
As for the 06 game, I understand taht you guys felt we were disrespectful, but I've never been around a bigger group of sore winners than you all. Our walk back to the bus was full of people cursing and throwing things at us. After you won. So I understand where a lot of the animosity from JMU fans comes from. It also came from us being a defacto #5 seed and getting sent to the #4.
-
If any of you JMU fans can tell your moderator I applied for the JMU site 3 days ago and my application is still not approved. Very appreciated; can't find any way to ask what is up on the site.

It's not our site - CSNBBS is a privately owned site and the mods on our board don't do approval - I can PM the main guy though to see if he can approve - do you have the same handle over there?

Dana Holgorsen of WVU said something along the lines of our DE were as good as he's seen, so yeah probably better than the likes of Nova and UR. I hope they are healthy and you can judge for yourself.
I have no tolerance for it, but even you have to admit that the post game treatment had to be the result of the in game antics, at least to some degree. No offense but biggest jerks I've seen short of GaSo, and that was in the 90's.
The 2 TD board nonsense sounds like there are some bitter pills left unswallowed.

Not sure what in game antics you mean? Mickey was always animated, and our fans were loud and supportive of our team. If anything, there were some calls that went the home team's way, as is to be expected.
I'll be honest, I think we win by a lot. It's no disrespect to you guys but going in and dominating NDSU in the FargoDome has given us a lot confidence. Of course, that's why you play the game.
For me the biggest deciding factor is that no one has shut down both sides of our offense all year - if someone keys in on the run we throw like crazy and vice versa. A wet day where it's hard to get a handle on the ball sure would change my opinion.

And how much money do you have?
I will be there so you and I can settle the bet there.

Does anyone know for sure that our 5 suspended players are not going to play for the championship game? I don't know if this has anything to do with the suspension. The academic semester is officially over the day after the EWU game. We are now technically into the next semester.
However, I thought someone on this board had suggested that the suspension would last for 6 months or half a season into next year. Is that true?

Dana Holgorsen of WVU said something along the lines of our DE were as good as he's seen, so yeah probably better than the likes of Nova and UR. I hope they are healthy and you can judge for yourself.
I have no tolerance for it, but even you have to admit that the post game treatment had to be the result of the in game antics, at least to some degree. No offense but biggest jerks I've seen short of GaSo, and that was in the 90's.
The 2 TD board nonsense sounds like there are some bitter pills left unswallowed.
Not sure what in game antics you mean? Mickey was always animated, and our fans were loud and supportive of our team. If anything, there were some calls that went the home team's way, as is to be expected.
I'll be honest, I think we win by a lot. It's no disrespect to you guys but going in and dominating NDSU in the FargoDome has given us a lot confidence. Of course, that's why you play the game.
For me the biggest deciding factor is that no one has shut down both sides of our offense all year - if someone keys in on the run we throw like crazy and vice versa. A wet day where it's hard to get a handle on the ball sure would change my opinion.
What's a lot?
And how much money do you have?
I will be there so you and I can settle the bet there.
17 points? I won't bet money but I'll bet you a bottle of whiskey?
Bottle of Whiskey works for me

Wow, 7 suspended players for JMU. Starting WR and LB are 2 of them.

Wow, 7 suspended players for JMU. Starting WR and LB are 2 of them.
They were all suspended before NDSU - our 2nd string LB came in and had 16 tackles. The guy who made the game winning catch was our #1 WR's backup.
As for your DLine, we've faced some pretty good ones this year - UNC, Villanova, UR, supposedly SHSU (but lol) and NDSU. I'm excited to see how our OLine does against you.
As for the 06 game, I understand taht you guys felt we were disrespectful, but I've never been around a bigger group of sore winners than you all. Our walk back to the bus was full of people cursing and throwing things at us. After you won. So I understand where a lot of the animosity from JMU fans comes from. It also came from us being a defacto #5 seed and getting sent to the #4.
I wish I would've known about people cursing and throwing things--I always felt that was always unacceptable behavior--after witnessing the ignorant JMU fans for a few hours I felt that behavior by our fans was kinder than they deserved--every fan base has its class fans and a$$holes--these "fans" were in a league of their own.If we acted like that in Virginia I'm sure if we got out alive we would be lucky.

First it is Suspension Gate, now it is Ticket Gate.

Is the rumor true about 7 JMU players being suspended?
They were suspended for the NDSU game as well. Same team that beat the Bison will be playing us.
Does anyone know for sure that our 5 suspended players are not going to play for the championship game? I don't know if this has anything to do with the suspension. The academic semester is officially over the day after the EWU game. We are now technically into the next semester.
However, I thought someone on this board had suggested that the suspension would last for 6 months or half a season into next year. Is that true?
Marijuana is 6-months ...everything else (non-steroid) is one year. This is mandatory. The NCAA only recently reduced it to 6-months. I will go out to NCAA.org and find it for us.

Fan, thanks. I thought the suspensions might have been implemented by the university (just like that suspension placed on Lee Wright which ended after the regular season). Too bad, we could really use those 2 safeties.

Bottle of Whiskey works for me
Let's set some guidelines - I got burned by a guy on AGS. If the Dukes win by 17 or more points by end of game, you owe me a bottle of whiskey. If you want, we can put a range on the price. $50-75 I'd say but lemme know if you think differently. If the Dukes win by 16-1 or the Pengus win then I owe you a bottle. Loser pays shipping cost unless we exchange at Frisco. Deal?

My recommendation for the bottle is:

Made right here in Louisville KY. I'll have an extra bottle with me $60.00 (retail price)! This is hands down the best Bourbon on the planet!!
I don't think you can buy this in VA or OH???

Dirty,
I'm a JMU fan, but would not take a bet for more than the line. 8)
About 2006.... We had a very good team that year that was one of the favorites to win it all as you were. For us it was worse because not only did we need to play another contender but had to do so on the road on a short week. We've had a history of being screwed by the selection committee in the past, as well as by our own admin in the bidding process.
I think the reason for not liking the JMU fans is 1) they are very vocal, and 2) the streamers are a different twist especially in your stands.
I know our admin was not real happy with your admin (in advance of the event) in the way the event was handled, but forget the reason....
Both teams have exceeded expectations this last month. This will be two well coached teams. How can either fan base not be optimistic or confident?
On ASU's side - you're from easily the best conference in 1AA/FCS. Obviously battle tested. Played WVU well. Have a coach from a major program. Good QB, and Defense. You've been counted out for the last 6 months, while knocking off top 5 teams on the way. You have history with your program, so you've tasted success.
On JMU side - Only loss was to UNC and have been playing the best ball in it's history the last month. JMU was up 65-0 after three quarters against the highest scoring offense in FCS/#5 seed/#1 ranked SHSU. JMU went into the Dome and knocked out #1 seed/5 year reigning champs. JMU is one of the best supported teams in FCS.
Two teams unexpected by most will come to play in a couple weeks.
As a JMU fan, I do hate waiting 3 weeks after playing three great playoff games. Hope the time off does not hurt momentum.
On a three week layoff - coaching will be key.

Works for me! I'm thinking a bottle of John J Bowman which is a VA bourbon if we lose. Researching to see if there are any better VA bourbons or whiskeys.

From the NCAA website
What is the penalty for a positive drug test?
The penalty for a positive test for a performance-enhancing drug (PED) is strict and automatic: student-athletes lose one full year of eligibility for the first offense (25 percent of their total eligibility) and are withheld from competition for 365 days from the date of the test. A second positive test for a PED results in the loss of all remaining eligibility.
The penalty for a positive test for a substance in the street drug class is withholding from competition for 50% of the season in all sports in which the student-athlete participates. A second positive test for a street drug results in the loss of a year of eligibility and withholding from participation for 365 days from the test.

5 dimes: YSU +2.5 O/U 66
Massey: JMU 35-31. YSU 36% chance of winning. JMU ranked 38th in D1 (the only team we've played ranked higher is WVU at #17). YSU ranked 54th.
I can't resist to mention that we crush the entire MAC East in Massey. Akron 128, Can't 154....both would be ranked 8th in the MVFC.....Buffalo 186......would be dead last behind MSU.

Just wondering.

If its a positive for a school test then its 1 game. If its an NCAA failed test its 6 months.

Teams do have the option to test anytime they wish. If that is the case, Then I would think the school could implement their own punishment, but it would have to include no participation for the next game. Regular season games have no random testing by the NCAA. So Bosa could pop anytime he wants, as long as OSU does not care. If Bosa pops on an NCAA test after a playoff game he is gone for 6-months.

The NCAA/schools need to have consistency. That is why guys smoke weed all the time. And its a good portion of every team that does it. When I played at YSU, we only were tested twice a year, but maybe they don't care about the females.

Does anyone know the 7 players suspended by JMU? Do they compare to our 5 who were not only starters, but significant starters in most cases. How about the depth of JMU compared to YSU to replace those suspended? Also it appears that the YSU starters were suspended due to testing by the NCAA. Any word on the JMU suspensions and their source of the suspensions. I know that most of this is conjecture since all programs do not release names, let alone reasons and sources of suspensions.
-
They beat NDSU with their missing 7. They lost a starting OL and their #2 receiver. Theyou were able to beat NDSU without them. Our losses are far more impactful.

How about the depth of JMU compared to YSU to replace those suspended? Also it appears that the YSU starters were suspended due to testing by the NCAA. Any word on the JMU suspensions and their source of the suspensions. I know that most of this is conjecture since all programs do not release names, let alone reasons and sources of suspensions.

There's also another way to look at this. J.M.U. just got past Richmond in the regular season 47-43. Richmond goes to E.W.U. and gets SHUTOUT. This gives me reason to believe our offense should produce in a big way in the championship game. I'm not sure where I would rank the C.A.A. Overall in terms of strength, but I still have the Missouri and big Sky 1 and 2

Keep in mind that Everett Withers left Ohio State and recruited their athletes. He couldn't put it together (similar to Eric wolford) but Houston was able to get it together and they too have show dramatic improvement on the defensive side of the ball. As a matter of fact, their defensive performance and our offensive performance have mirrored each other in the playoffs. Richmond was not prepared for the cold weather and when thy got behind in the game they folded like a cheap suit.
I like our chances, but we cannot make mistakes with this team and the safeties made huge mistakes during the Eastern Washington game. 2 of those mistakes cost us in touchdowns. JMU presents a different challenge because they are more balanced. I think this will be a tough game and we will need improvement. We will need to shut down their run game and get to the QB. Based on what I saw against NDSU it will be difficult to do, but I like our DL. I think this one will be close, but it is difficult to Gage when we don't play anyone in the CAA. I think the top of the CAA is just as good as the MVFC because they play better defense than the top of the Big Sky (Just my opinion) however, the MVFC is better top to bottom. Bottom feeders of the CAA will not challenge the top teams whereas the bottom of the MVFC can beat the tophone on any given Saturday

Comparing results of the Richmond game with JMU and EWU has very little value because Richmond by the start of the playoffs had endured ridiculous season-ending injuries to 11 starters including their stud quarterback. They might have been healthy when they played JMU.
I fully expect JMU to be at full strength on their offensive line. But if they must play without their tackle who was out against NDSU and without their center who was injured during the NDSU game, I like our chances at controlling the trenches.
Our fate will probably rest with our offensive line. These guys rolled up over 200 yards on the ground against at least three teams (UNI, Jacksonville State, Wofford) that were, at the time, giving up less than 100 rushing yards.
-
Is it true that you guys are only bringing 1/4th of your team as well because your Athletic Department screwed up booking plane tickets?
JK, sorry, trying to get some chatter going over here.
It is true..that is all we will need.. ;D
GO GUINS
Haha, well played sir!

Yep, exactly that. Also, for a team who has come on late I'd expect you all to realize that the Richmond game was a turning point for our team. The results thereafter are a way better sample of who our team really is.
Our DLine and LB corps held NDSU's run game in check, so I think we will be able to do the same to you all. We're really lucky that if you stack the box our QB and WRs can make you pay and if you decide to cover the pass our RB and even QB if needed can move the chains on the ground.
Even if we weren't at full strength on our OLine, is your DLine that much better than NDSU's? Because even down our center and right tackle we were able to make big plays.

DL is better than NDSU, but LB play for NDSU is better imop. We are just slightly less than NDSU in LB play, but we might be faster. As you know, our secondary was outstanding bit has recently taken a hit with the suspensions as did our running game,receiving and special teams.

We don't stack the box and usually only rush 4. LB and DB attack on runs, but are susceptible to getting it thrown over their heads.

That's bad news for you guys then, as our team is excellent at throwing the deep ball. Schor has so many different weapons to throw to as well.

well, they did put up 38 points on you.
we've given up more than 24 points 3 times this year.
to North Carolina.
to Richmond.
and to UNH when we led 42-10 going into the 4th quarter and they recovered some onside kicks and made the score look a lot more respectable than the game really was.

Looking at the game stats of YSU vs NDSU, YSU looked to have out played NDSU, BUT LOST 24-3. YSU was down 17-0 after the first quarter. Were turnovers the difference in the game? YSU had five more first downs and 11:36 TOP advantage.Seven receivers caught passes. But only gained 92 yards on the ground while NDSU had 240 yards rushing.

Yes. Turnovers were a problem. New Qb hadn't played or practiced all year. He was going to transfer. He was only making safe throws after he turned it over. He is better now that he has had some games under his belt

I am not happy with the 3 week wait, we just may pick up where we left off but I sure liked the way the team was clicking the last 6 games.

Well we are the only O-H-I-O team left standing. That's what I love about the FCS playoffs we have the two best teams playing for it all in less then a week!!

Yes. I was hoping for both Ohio teams would be going for NCAA Football Championship. Now, we have to bring this one home.
Happy New Year everyone.

YSU has been and always will be my team. OSU is undeniably a better program than ND. However I was content with Clemson's win as now the focus will be entirely on YSU and because I personally felt as though Penn State deserved to be in over OSU based on their Big Ten title and win over OSU.

I thought 3 weeks was a long wait, but time marches on quickly. The championship game is just around the corner. The excitement will be starting Wednesday when the team flies to Plano, Texas.
I envy all you going to the game, I have been at the 91 and 93 games and those were great!
To the gang going:
BRING HOME A WINNER!!!!
GO YSU PENGUINS

Officially game week, I'm going and I can't wait!
-
This thread is getting long and hard to navigate. Should we start a separate "Game Week" thread or just continue to post our thoughts here?
-
I am not happy with the 3 week wait, we just may pick up where we left off but I sure liked the way the team was clicking the last 6 games.
Does anyone know why such a long layoff? I know holidays and all but that's no excuse for FBS bowl games. 2 weeks max layoff.

Any word on the JMU suspensions and their source of the suspensions. I know that most of this is conjecture since all programs do not release names, let alone reasons and sources of suspensions.
5 of our 7 players out were occasional back ups at most. We did lose one of our top receivers, and our leading tackler for the year. Certainly players we would like to have, but those are two positions we had plenty of depth. Those players were both in rotations....
The difference our offense poses for you guys is that it is both good passing and running. Before the suspension of our WR you could argue it's both the best running and passing game JMU has ever had.
Are defense struggled at times earlier in the season, especially covering receivers. Your recipe to a win would likely be running the ball, and eating up the clock..... Our pass coverage of late has been pretty good. Ask SHSU.

JSU thought they had a good defense too. so did EWU.

You're right - just because we played well against SHSU and NDSU means nothing. JSU and EWU accomplished the same.....

JSU thought they had a good defense too. so did EWU.
How does this relate to our game? Jesus, I'm tired of you pengus hiding behind this. We heard the same exact thing from NDSU fans... "Oh everyone thinks they can knock us off". Does anyone on here actually talk football?

Before you throw stones take a look at your board! I was going to post before I saw one of your posters asking the almighty why they had to play a team with the likes of Bo as coach and Jim Tressel as president? Who do you think you are anyway? Notre Dame? Clean up you're own board.

So, Uh, leave ? this isna YSU forum where we can use whatever argument we choose. you are a guest. act like it.
funny how you ignored that the whole argumentnwas started by a JMU fan comparing games vs other teams as well.

Ah okay so instead of actual football talk it's go back to your (or you're if you are KilrPengWin) board? Gotcha. Buncha Uncle Ricos - bet you'd discuss HS football with me.

I apologize but I cannot go this year. However my group is all still going. Yes the direct flight out of Port Columbus was less than I thought and I probably could have swung it ...only $268 round trip (again non-stop) if we traveled on Friday and Monday. (or Sunday red-eye). Our group is from the Ytown area and will be traveling out of Akron-Canton and it cost them $417 to leave Friday night. They arrive after midnight. I will get their details and let you know.

Assuming that flight goes through Charlotte. Hopefully they get out safe, with no delays. Seems like ATL and CLT connections tomorrow evening may be iffy.
