I was about to say the same thing!!! Blasphemy indeed!!!

Gary Clark went to JMU & was a teamate of Haley's. One of the great Skins of Gibbs last 2 super bowl teams.

Sorry for not mentioning Clark. I had a good friend who played football with Haley at JMU. He used to talk about what a lunatic he he was. I never new Clark came from JMU, but that is another reason to get excited.

Those were the days when JMU football was mostly a joke...ala the rest of i-aa. Nowadays the Dukes are a football powerhouse at the FCS(I-AA) level. They're probably as good or better than a good many low level BCS(I-A) teams. Look at a team Like UConn. They only started their porgram like 10 years ago. Started in the CAA...got their ass handed to them for a few years. Sunk an enormous amount of money into the program and became a top tier team but not dominant and moved to the Big East where they compete pretty well.

JMU chicks are banging, but they give Radford more than a run for their money as STD University

He just needs to be careful about the weight gain supplements he's taken and not get suspended for taking a banned substance again.

I'm rooting for Buzbee though

I'd guess he learned a lesson on that. Either that or he's an idiot.

Lets not forget that Scott Norwood went there too? Laces out Dan!

Well I was just going on what I heard from Redskins tv and Vinny on those shows about Jackson. Obviously, you sound like you have better info, from inside. Would love to see Buzbee make the team.

Gentlemen:

I am shocked and very pleasantly surprised.

We have more than 20 posts here and no one has yet declared that Messr. Skolnitsky is the second coming of Lawrence Taylor blended with Dick Butkus, Chris Hanberger and Jack Pardee.

Carry on...

Thats nice but a trainer just knows who is injuired. I think looks alone dont make good football players. Buzzbee has not played in regular season game yet. So i think some back up spots are up for grabs.

Had he not fouled up he would have had a real nice senior year and we'll miss him(JMU that is) but I was surprised he came out of camp with a contract. He just never seemed like he had something for the next level. We'll see. I am guessing his size and tools make him nice camp fodder...maybe he can parlay that into a practice squad spot. He's from Fairfax so his family is near. So that's cool.

If we wanted to really look at the Wildcat then the better JMU alum would have been Landers. I watched the guy for 3 years and I will tell anyone and everyone this. The guy can straight play. He's a bigger stronger version of Edwards(from App State) I know TB is interested in him in the secondary but I always thought he would be a perfect Slot/Wildcat type player. Very much a Kordell Stewart. This past year he threw for like 17 TDs, ran for another 16, Pased for 1700 YDs and ran for 1100. 4 Ints. That's right 33 TDs and 4 Ints. All in the CAA which is universally regarded as the best I-AA conference by a wide margin. Relative to competition he is the best player I have ever seen and it's not even close. Had he gone to VATech he'd have left early and would be starting somewhere in this NFL already. But he wanted to play QB and they wanted him to play Safety/HB/WR. So off to JMU.

Sounds like he made the wrong choice not to attend VTech. He missed out on a payday if he is that good.
