Go Tribe

[Stonewall D]

This week I am pulling for the Tribe to defeat JMU. Apparently, Vad Lee is out for this game. But their coach will not discuss the extent of his injuries, but only that he will not play against W&M.

If the Pukes win, we basically have a 2 game conference lead, with JMU and Maine tiebreakers in hand. As much as I hate to say it, Go Pukes.

 

[WebSpinner]

my thinking as well MO. will be an interesting game to see how it plays out. of course it all depends on us winning out or only losing one.

 

[iSpider]

I agree.
Need the Dukes to win, but I have a feeling that the Tribe will prevail especially since Vad Lee will not play.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Their backup put up two fourth-quarter TD's on us.

Our only forced punts of the second half (the difference in the game really) were with Vad at QB.

I may re-watch to try to see the play Vad got hurt. The play they thought he got hurt on, where his OL may have stepped on his foot, the play-by-play guy noticed him hobbling at the snap.

 

[3genspider]

He was absolutely hobbling before the snap and barely got into formation. Got hurt previous play when Omar tackled him. Looked like lower leg got twisted up when going to the turf.

Go Tribe!!!! Rankings be damned, always respected Jimmy L and I want to take on a top 10 tribe team when they come to the rob. I won't cry if JMU wins though.

 

[Stonewall D]

+1. I can never pull for the JMU, no matter what.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I'm the opposite. Can't root for W&M, sorry.

 

[WebSpinner]

will pull for whichever team helps the SPIDS the most and feel that is umwcah in this case.

 

[32counter]

Mo had it right.Go Dukes.

 

[SpiderRick]

I respect W&M and their fans, I always pull for them except when they play use. I have to, my mother-in-law went there, and my wife got her PhD from there (but undergraduate from UR and ALWAYS wears red!)

My vote is for JMU versus W&M. I'd rather see W&M's hopes for a play-off spot be determined early and take some pressure off of our final game with them. The game with the Tribe is always a tough one, but it would be good if the conference title wasn't a talking point at that stage. Also hoping for a quick recovery for Vad Lee. He is a very special player and JMU's success is good for our league and their continued strength helps our ratings.

Love W&M and their alumni. Got to root for them to beat Madison College. OSC

 

[whampas]

Respectfully dislike WM, hate JMU. Hope the lights go out during 12th overtime and it ends in a tie. But my head says JMU because it would really help us. Gotta go, I just threw up in my mouth.

 

[97spiderfan]

We just need to handle our business with W&M and than this is a moot point. Personally, I'm never rooting for JMU. I hope they lose out and miss the playoffs.

 

[WebSpinner]

we have to navigate through the next 3 weeks before knowing what the indian game actually means other than for bragging rights.

 

[MooreHall73]

I would love to see W&W and UR both win out going into Nov. 21. Would be a hugh game. I don't expect Lee Fitting to bring Game Day to our place but it would still get both schools a lot of attention. Would be good for us, good for W&M and bad for JMU.

 

[Stonewall D]

W&M has a tough game this weekend. JMU is #8 and W&M is #15. W&M has a very good running game, led by Kendall Anthony. Anderson is a great RB and the Tribe o' Griffins should be able to control the clock against the Dookies. Go Tribe.

Suspended and starting JMU defensive linemen reinstated in time for Tribe game."Now ain't that a coincidence"since Harrisonburg mob couldn't stop our running or passing game.Welcome back Mr Robertson....

[Stonewall D]

Nice. But how effective was he in the first two games?

 

[urmite]

Just roll with the outcome. JMU loses, hope they lose them all. JMU wins, then we need to win the next 3 to clinch CAA before the Tribe game.

 

[Stonewall D]

The Griff s are 5-0 this year if they lead at halftime. I will look at how well the tribe starts off and maintains momentum.

 

[localspider]

One of my daughter is a UR grad the other a W&M grad. Done of my kids were permitted to apply to JMU, HA! So I pull for the Tribe unless playing my Spiders.

 

[WebSpinner]

just like with us, don't think the indians can score enough points although with lee out, who knows. should be a fun game to watch, not as much fun as our game with them but fun.

 

[Stonewall D]

Bill & Gary now up with 40 seconds left.

 

[SpiderRick]

Chicken dinner for the Tribe
