Wow gang. Can you believe it. Feeling giddy just thinking about it. Harsin gone and the HYGs reborn. Not gonna muddle this thread with hut hut discourse, but I’m think the HYGs are sitting in the top 5 in January when Lane gets announced to a crazy crowd in Neville. What a treat.

Anyway, no idea what these boners at GMU are like but I know they can’t compete with our veteran backcourt and extremely athletic and skill front court. Flanny puts the Cbb world back on notice. Swole Wendell announces his pg supremacy. Yohan goes crazy. Boogville turns into Boner City Monday night.

Legggggooooo

Apologies for the absence gang. But @Denim Vest are you planning on a hoops studs countdown this year or a denim dozen ranking?

Praise be unto BRUCE it is time for basketball contests. UAH coming to the Clam as we work out the kinks for the season opener in 5 DAYS.

Of course the rotten bums at ESPN+ have failed us yet again and not streaming this one. Gonna be another long season dealing with that shitass app.

Anyway boogs by 20ish.

To be honest, I had no clue there were that many enthusiastic people waiting to use this message board, so I figured it'd be good to establish some rules.

- From this brief 24-hour period, since users started posting to this board, I've noticed it's way more off-topic conversation than not. So, I'll say this, try to stick within the realm of JMU sports, college athletics and recruiting. Professional and high school sports are OK too, but be sure to put 'OT:' in front of it to signify that the thread is off topic.

- I haven't seen any yet, but please don't use any profanity.

- If you have a legitimate question for me regarding JMU football, the CAA or anything related, make sure you tag me in the post, so I get a notification. When I see the notification, I'll try to answer.

- Be aware of existing threads. If see a topic you wanted to post about, but there's already one started about the same topic, just reply within that thread instead of starting your own.

- Additionally, on Saturdays when JMU plays, I'll start a game thread. That'll be the game thread for the day, so any conversation pertaining to that day's game will stay within that thread.

Thanks for cooperating.
