After too much weekend, a sick day was in order yesterday. As a present for your patience, let’s start HateFest 2010 off right and go after our neighbors to the northeast: JMU. Apologies if this sounds a lot like last year. Sometimes, things don’t change.
Yeah, we still hate JMU. There are some stupid stereotypes surrounding the Dukes, and after the jump, we make fun of them all.
------------------
Back in 2009, we ripped on James Madison during our small schools week. It caused quite a stir back then, and is apparently still getting to the Dukes. We had three comments on the post about a month back.
We checked the referrals to the NEZ, and found that our post had been put up on a JMU football message board. Seriously. This exists. There's a board where people talk about nothing but JMU “football”. Here’s one gem:
"JMU - ECU to Big East Football...book it." –jmusuperfan
….wowzer.
Look, we know the Big East is desperate, but good lord. They aren’t jumping off tall buildings quite yet.
Maybe it will happen, and Syracuse can actually count on one win a year.
------------------
Again, we’re not going to be making any “Just Missed UVA” jokes this year. When half of the classes involve a 64-pack of Crayolas, you missed UVA by a long shot.
Besides, UVA’s maximum Slut-O-Meter Rating is 7. At JMU, 7.5 is a prerequisite. They make Radford look like a convent.
But I guess when Daddy pays for everything, you tend to go with a shotgun-approach to finding a husband to make you his trophy wife.
------------------
Back to football.
Do you know the most famous JMU football alumni? Scott “Wide Right” Norwood.
What a sad little facemask.
For those not familiar, SWRN missed a 47-yard field goal in Superbowl XXV that would have given the Buffalo Bills the win. Go ask a Bills fan about him, and you’ll see a mini-HateFest of your own right there.
To be fair, he did inspire the plot to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Looks like a JMU grad HAS contributed something to society.
------------------
MID-POST-UPDATE: How could we forget the riot last Spring (thanks Miz)? Just check out the gallery here via Deadspin.
Based on the aforementioned “JMU to the Big East” rumor, the students decided to show they can fit right in with WVU.

Nothing but class in Harrisonburg.

And of course... that Fall-f***ing-wedding during the Georgia Tech game. I will never let it go.
------------------
So have fun being a bathroom stop on the way down to real football, JMU. That Sheetz is freaking AWESOME.
