JMU Game Day Thread

[GreatAppSt]

Well there is always next year.

[Seattleapp]

Curious if it was OC or HC with the conservative play calling? Completely humorous that we were actually mentioned for NY6 bowl. Winter is coming, time for change.

Easy to throw another school shirt on. You have plenty to choose from

This is what happens when you hire a players coach. You get a soft team with no Killer instinct.

[Apexmountaineer]

Humiliating. Shawn Clark moves to 3-9 in games vs teams we are a 7 point or less favorite or underdog. He loves this program. But he is a coordinator. Not a head coach. He fuels the culture and team as an assistant in the same way he does as a head coach. But he doesnt have it.

You may disagree...but you may not have the same expectations and dreams for our program that I do. And thats ok...there is room for all as we all love our Apps.

Its a long season...and a tough league. But for the first time...we were in the drivers seat for a NY6 bowl. Now that is 100% gone. There are alot of pumpers out there who are continent with 4 loss years and will defend coaches and players to the death. And to you i say....congrats. you got what you wanted. But to those who want more, lets fight for more.

Then root for someone else jackass

Like it or not he’s right.

No he’s a jackass who’s never posted on here and cannot wait to pile on. The most obnoxious of spectators. This was a very disappoints loss. 100%. But the takes are obnoxious to say the least.

Do your research before you speak and sound like a Jackass.

It’s real easy to speak up to someone from behind a keyboard.

Not once did I come at you or say anything negative about you. Feel free to disagree with my take on the game; but if you want to start talking shit to other fans just because they feel our teams efforts were disappointing then fine. That just shows how small of a man you are.

I simply made observations about a team’s performance that, most who don’t hold themselves as high and mighty would probably agree with.

Fire Jones. Sick of his defense

[Apexmountaineer]

That’s ok. According to this guy everything you say dumps on App. This was an utter letdown. We lost it. They haven’t won it.

Don’t know, I’ve seen Seattle be part of this board for a long time.

I wouldn’t say we are beating ourselves, JMU is kicking out ASS in this second half. Right now they are pounding it down our throats.

Seattle is on here all the time. Just saying

That’s what I said

Apologies. Misread your post. My bad.

All good

[Longrifle28]

That was one of the biggest chokes I've seen in a long time.

We were very vanilla today and played not to lose. It cost us big time.

No sense of urgency and no killer instinct.

Kudos to JMU for adjustments and no quit. I thought this game might be tight, but how do you go up 28-3 and allow that to happen. Looks like our luck ran out.

Hopefully we can lick our wounds, heal up and learn something from this.

[RankinApp]

Dukes came in, punched us in the face, took our ranking, and a possible NY6 spot.

Good thing they're not bowl eligible as they'd probably take that too.

[yikas1]

Fire Jones. D sucks

Wait I’m the small man? Says the guy who wades in the minute we lose to take some
Bizarre victory lap. If you wanna critique play calls etc, fine I’m with you, but you immediately went after Clark which is bullshit

[yosef69]

Our days on top are over

[AppStFan1]

I would use that wording if the CFP had been out and we were in position to get it. I don't think they took our NY6 spot because I don't think we had established ourselves as the front runner for that spot yet.

I think they are bowl eligible because they are technically in second year of transition.

[App_in_Maiden]

Terrible 2nd half. Can’t get conservative. Yes that call on the punt was a terrible call, but that’s not what lost is this game.

This one falls on coaching. We were out coached 2nd half. I understand we want to establish the run, but JMUs defense wasn’t having any of it. Left us in too many long downs and obvious passing situations. It’s like teams never learned from the falcons losing the super bowl while up from the same score we were. Don’t go conservative. Even though this is JMUs first year, they have a wining culture that has been there since our fcs days.

It’s not the end of the world. I hope to see the frustration from this loss taken out on El Cid next week and then we steamroll the rest of the year. We will learn a lot about this staff during these next few games. I still have confidence this will be a hell of a year.

I also love the negative posters that always seem to make an appearance when we lose, but are never around when we win. Go somewhere else. We all wants best for this program and university, but if you only come out when we lose, you aren’t a fan.

Seattleapp is the worst of the worst. You cant critique or use logic...or else you have to pull for another team. Thats called low T. Be better and hold your mountaineers accountable.

Some people aren’t comfortable with mediocrity

[mgsouth]

And we still have GS, Coastal and Marshall left to play. If we don’t get our D figured out, those games could get really ugly. Get it fixed APP!

Great post. We have a pretty consistent group of posters on here who banter back and forth. It cracks me up that the second we lose, suddenly there are posters who never ever post suddenly have all kinds
Of opinions about how terrible we are.

[appstatealum]

It's up to Gillan to decide what route we take as a program. We made a step towards more national marketability this year, JMU loss or not. We have good football culture, a good brand, and a good record. Are we going to cycle good OCs looking to catapult, or are we going to go traditional with "App guys" peppered in with a supporting staff? Clark had been underwhelming, as much as I like him. Texas AM aside, the big wins have been "wild rides" which can be attributed to the ra-ra former player thing and App's usually solid talent. But, I like controlled domination, Texas AM type games. Drink offered those as well. This team is primed for better. I think we can thrive as a potential 2-3 stepping stone for up and coming coaches. Build the brand, get the recruits, compete at the highest levels and stay relevant.

[mountaineerman]

I don’t do this often. But that punt interference cost the game in the end

I was thinking the exact same

One play does not cost you the game. Turnovers, poor coaching, and poor execution cost games.

No probably not but it sure can change the momentum which it did. Horrible call.

You damn right you are.

I didn’t say a word about clark, I said it was embarrassing, which it was. Maybe you should learn how to read or maybe just how not to be an asshole.
