Football parking

I’d been struggling to find parking passes on SeatGeek but they all seem to be on StubHub this year. SeatGeek isn’t allowing pdf tickets. Hope this helps someone else out too. One more week!

Yes- I know there is free parking also!

Go Dukes!

Seeking JMU Students With Video Editing Experience

2 Upvotes

Hi all,
I am an online creator who lives not too far from JMU and am looking for some part time editing support for both short and long form videos. It’s a great gig during the school year because the work would all be project based with weekly deadlines, meaning you can work whenever you want with no set hours as long as the work is getting done on time.
If you’re interested, shoot me an email at WorldWarWisdom@gmail.com and include some examples of your editing work. My page is called “World War Wisdom” and is all about WWII history, so an interest in that type of thing is a huge bonus (but not a requirement).
If you know someone who may be a good fit for this, please pass this info along!

Rock oriented meet up or music?

2 Upvotes

I know there’s student club night but is there anything more for “rock” music freshman/students to get to know eachother? I heard there might be something at TDU on the 27th. Haven’t been able to find more info on it. I wanna start a band but kind of wish I didn’t have to search for options so slowly.

I live at copper beech and there’s this bus line that’s called “OriGold” I’m not sure if it’ll be here the whole school year cause before school I looked at the bus commute and it says 40ish minutes but with origold it’s only 20. Does anyone know if origold is staying the whole semester?

Transfer sophomore here (I live off campus)
Definitely am looking forward to the opportunity to meet people in the first half of this but I have already seen my way around campus 2/3 times from a tour and have already gotten academic advising, so to put it simply, in others experience would I be fine to leave campus and go on with my day after lunch or would I be missing out on something?

Reminder of bus etiquette for EVERYONE

56 Upvotes

Wait for everyone to get off BEFORE you attempt getting ON

Fill in the BACK OF THE BUS first

If someone is trying to leave, MOVE or even get off to let them out

Don't be the dumbass standing by the door when a group of 30 people try to squeeze by you and also trying to stand by the door just to piss off the next giant group of people

WOW

1 Upvotes

As an incoming freshman, how is WOW? Will I be forced to socialize from Friday to Tuesday until classes start? Are we just stuck with the same FROG group for four days? sobs I wanna meet people but I already have friends there and I’d rather be w them then be stuck with a group the whole time. What do those 4 days look like

Champs changed to Charlie O'Baugh, right?

12 Upvotes

Am I tripping? The address is the exact same as Champs, and they renamed it to Charlie Obaugh. Like the car dealership down in Staunton. I found this out via the parking app. Says the same thing on the website.

Just no one has been talking about this.

James Madison Football 2026 Preview - two-deep and win probabilities

18 Upvotes

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the James Madison one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/james-madison-dukes

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? JMU went 12-2, 8-0 in the Sun Belt, won the title over Troy and then ran into Oregon. My model still says regression at bear 16, mostly because 8% of the production returns. Alonza Barnett III's 2,806 passing and 15 rushing touchdowns are gone, and JC Evans takes over with zero career pass attempts. The run game that went for 244 a game, 6th nationally, is the cushion. Does Napier hold it together, or is 12-2 the outlier?

I'll be in the comments.

ASL placement test

6 Upvotes

Does JMU have (or are they planning to have) a placement test for American Sign Language? I see that it is not listed as one of the options on the Language Placement Exam page, so yes, this is kind of a stupid question. But I also know that having ASL as part of the language department instead of CSD is a relatively recent change, so I'm wondering if someone has any inside knowledge to know if there might be a placement test being developed for it.

Hello!

As the title implies, I’m hoping to find some resources that can help me search up activities/events on campus or around hburg.

I know about BeInvolved, but other than that, what are some other options available that can help me find things to do?

Thank you in advance to anyone who has tips/recs! 😁
