I am fairly confident App has a very good record again ranked JMU teams in all sports since they joined the SBC. App has already beat a ranked JMU team this fall. I had little hope for App in the game until I saw the number next to JMU

I have been really busy this past weekend but have a lot of thoughts on this season. --quick OT shout out to my daughters' Trinity Titans for their 5-2 win in the VISAA D1 field hockey state championship game Saturday. VISAA D1 is the large private schools in Virginia and probably one of if not the ...

18 spots. I assume nice conferences. They should go to 20 teams and each corner of the bracket can have one round 1 game that feeds into 3 teams starting in round 2. There are 10 conferences and 8 at-large (the ACC will be getting 4 of the 8 this year). I would like it to go to 10 and 10. Actually,...

This has to to be the strongest conference year App has been in in decades, maybe ever. I don't ever remember the NorPac being this strong. It would be good to see the MAC get some recognition for an at-large bid, but I am sure history plays a lot in this as it does in other sports. I could probabl...

Seven seniors were recognized Friday, and many of those have been key contributors during their entire career at App. This season was a testement for the value of experienced teamwork was I would guess (though I haven't checked) they are the most successful senior class in App field hockey history. ...

For me, the real eye opener was when one of my daughters asked why I watched sports so much. My answer was, "because it's fun." She just said, "ok," and went about her business, but my own answer stuck in my head. OT, but this statement sums up a majority of the non-serious or casual conversations ...

Everything I know about the SEC I only know thanks to Mitchel's SEC Roll Call.

One critqiue I have as someone who cant make many games and usually isnt home in the middle of the day on a Saturday to watch TV is why hasnt the App radio broadcast been on the Varsity app lately? This is threee straight games where I have had to listen to the other team's broadcast. (well really ...

If I had a critique from yesterday’s game it is very clearly how Loggains called plays the entire fourth quarter. I thought Loggains was calling offensive plays. It seemed to me the defense was on the field for the entire 4th quarter except for 6 plays? So not not much play calling going on. The de...

Well, the high from breaking into the rankings didn't last long. Conference foe Miami (OH) beat App 7-0. It doesn't get any easier as a ranked Liberty squad comes to Boone tomorrow. When App broke into the ranking I was worried about going 0-2 this weekend, but Friday was just uglier then I thought...

Baseball season is now officially over

Yep, normally its over by August, so this year was nice.

Just how close would the JMU FH field be to the railroad tracks that run through their campus? Asking for a friend. The JMU field hockey stadium isn't near the railroad tracks that runs through the middle of campus. Instead, it is on the opposite of the interstate highway that runs through the midd...

Where do they play? What field? The field is over at State Farm and where XC runs. You can park right by the field but, personally I would not as I would be afraid of an errant ball hitting my car. Park a bit down the hill and get some exercise. But basically go to State Farm parking, then keep dri...

Two MAC teams in the polls. Clearly losing to a better team did not hurt JMU much. There is actually 3 MAC teams this week. New full member UMass has been in the poll all year. It is nice to see that JMU did not drop out after the App loss. I have been saying for years over on the Sun Belt board th...

I so do appreciate the knowledge you bring to the subject of FH. Just imagine how annoying I would be to this board if my daughter's interest in playing for App had been reciprocated. You called the placement in the polls. Impressive. You can be an annoying as you want to be going forward and I wil...
