Re: Future JMU Series
Nice to get this rivalry back. ‘27 and ‘31 at home, and ‘28 and ‘32 at JMU. Can’t believe we are talking about the 30’s already…LOL

Re: Future JMU Series
Outstanding job by Chrissi, Jordan, and whoever else was involved.
We get JMU AND no more CAA dregs. That's called a win-win.

Re: Future JMU Series
Woo-hoo!
Heck, let’s also get a series with ODU and the winner of the three team series can get a trophy that says: CAA Re-Do NonConference Conference Champion.
And…nice that the series begins in 2027. That will give us time to get to 85 schollies with kids specifically recruited for FBS.
Would still like to get a set of regional H/H games with Army and Navy. Add in Air Force; we have a large AFB in nearby Dover…bet the game would draw in some of those folks as fans.

Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS
Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

Re: Future JMU Series
Another BIG PLUS of going FBS!! Congratulations!
Captain obvious-- This series (H-H) NEVER happens without the move to CUSA.
Regional opponent advantages:
--better fan interest and attendance
--more media attention from the whole UD-JMU area
--"Big games" create more attention from recruits
-- Easy travel for fans and team
-- Money--better bottom line>>>Travel savings+better fan attendance= more$$

Re: Future JMU Series
I had always dreamed of getting Bryant for a home opener, but that'll never happen.

Re: Future JMU Series
Hopefully not, when fully transitioned, but I'm sure we'll see one FCS per year.

How about home and home with Temple, UMass, and UConn?

Re: Future JMU Series
The obvious benefits of FBS football continue to be apparent. Look for more good non conference games. 2024 will be the last year to have the Hens with a crappy, uninspiring schedule. But keep your eyes on the target folks. FBS football is almost here.

Re: Future JMU Series
When college football finally gets settled I would be surprised if JMU and UD didn't end up in the same conference. They are the modern day Temple and a great school and fan base to loath.
