Pregame Thoughts JMU vs. Villanova

It should be interesting today to see how much time the fans split between the game and the now infamous Duke Dog. After last week's escapades of JMU's mascot instigating a fight with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleer, there is no doubt who will be the CAA's if not the nation's most watched mascot today.

Yes, there will obviously be a different student in the big gray bulldog suit, but there is still a buzz on campus today among students and parents (being that it's Parents' Weekend).

This morning my roommate Chris's mom gave us an impressive run-down of Villanova's strengths and weaknesses after she read about it in the paper. The conversation was quickly overshadowed by talk of how everyone thought Duke Dog would respond and not how the Dukes would respond to being beat at Villanoa last season.

Personally I would like to see Duke Dog behave himself. Yeah it wasn't all his fault, but it would be nice to see a classier side of JMU return this week. And plus, after the beloved Duke Dog got absolutely pile-drived JMU could use a little humbling. (See Below).
