James Madison University wants to play the University of Virginia in football. Virginia Tech wants to play JMU. JMU does not want to play Tech. UVA does not want to play JMU. Confused? Good, I am not alone.

I read a Washington Post article (‘Shocked’ Glennon Heads to the Bench) about Sean Glennon being benched in favor of true freshman Tyrod Taylor and I was “shocked” at just how disillusioned Glennon really is.

LSU Tigers Maul the Hokies in Death Valley
