@LetTheBeavSpeak Hmm Liberty DOES have to be a better football team... because it cannot out physical JMU.. it can match the physicality... but in no world will Liberty.. coached by Chadwell be the more physical team.
Actually... I'm super happy to NOT be in the pac12... watching TXST leave the Sun Belt didn't sting at all.. why be jealous of a poser team going into a poser "p5" conference which clearly is just another g6.. which promised the moon in media rights deals.. reality not so great. Now.. had the MWC and the Pac12 merged under the pac12 name... then you have something to rival the American... but as it is... its underwhelming vs the boasting. Both conferences are now watered down. It's like the MAC with better teams in the west. So no... not jealous of TXST at all.. not even a little. JMU fits the east coast.. Sun Belt.. American... ACC much better. And as long as we keep regional rivalries I'm happy... have fun playing west coast games.... have fun trying to sell tickets against teams your casual fan doesn't know or care about.
Wow... you are missing their Lacrosse national championship and perennially good... Softball. mens and women's Basketball.. Volleyball... tennis.. swimming and diving. All start each season in the conversation for conference champs because they win so many conference champions. Of Course Football gets a lot of focus... because football drives everything at almost all schools. But JMU is far from a one trick pony.
JMU has made a mark in the FBS, winning a Sun Belt Championship and competing in the College Football Playoff last year.
How will the Dukes fare in 2026?

Since JMU football moved to the FBS in 2022, its primary starting QBs (Todd Centeio, Jordan McCloud, and Alonza Barnett) have combined to throw 109 touchdown passes to just 28 interceptions.
Big shoes to fill this fall for either Camden Coleman or JC Evans.
@Newsweek Ummm. Planned stadium expansion already approved by the State of Virginia... its a matter of how soon it starts.. as it should be a very forward looking mixed use build that will add to the campus everyday life in addition to gameday and practices.
James Madison just sent a pretty clear message to college football: the Dukes aren’t some temporary Cinderella story.
JMU has built a program that expects to win, keeps investing, and has no interest in fading back into the background. After an appearance in the playoffs last year, season tickets are sold out.
The Sun Belt better get used to seeing purple near the top.
@MLS_AfterDark@OduUnfiltered Whatever makes you feel better!
Won east division 3/4 years
Most wins in SBC since 2022
QB has won award 3/4 years
Only SBC school to make playoffs
A JMU down year is 9-4 😂😂😂
Your program is poverty, JMU has the best football program in the conference. End of story
From the intriguing entirely too early bowl projections category… CBS has UD making a bowl again, this time against some school named… JMU? In Montgomery, Alabama.

🚨 🚨 Lineup Addition 🚨 🚨
This Saturday 4-8pm @ River City Roll - to preview the JMU Football Season will be the Voice of the Dukes @DaveRiggert for Awadd’s Football Festival @910TheFan
@HerdPlsWin I know "the google" may not have made it to Huntington yet, but a simple search would have turned up:
"Virginia Tech pays JMU $800K to cancel next season’s football game"

@JMUSoundOff@KellyGreenReprt Yes.. but.. bad look to have a 100% fail rate on in conference logos. Better thing would be interviews of students in line for the opening game.
The phrase “stacking days” with @JMUFootball is the same in all aspects of life. What @coach_bnapier and his staff is teaching life lessons that apply to football. Consistently being excellent in all you do matters in football and in life. Other people say it; we live it @jmu
Liberty and JMU even unbeaten still need sooo much help from the rest of the G6 it's unlikely for either of them this year... but.. as a JMU fan.. I'm hoping for chaos... need SDSU to win the PAC12 after losing to JMU.. Need Liberty to lose in Harrisonburg and then crush CUSA... need UNLV to drop some games.. need the American to act like they are the MAC and no one team separates..
