Not shooting at anyone just making a statement. Any player would
love that kind of confidence from a coach. If JMU needs that for
motivation then somethings wrong.

I'm not sure Coach Priore actually said that (that twitter
handle has no profile picture and only 7 followers) but I hope
he did

That wasn't what he said:
What he actually said "That was the toughest thing not to talk
about this past week (in reference to not playing JMU this
season to decide the championship)... So you know. Our goal is
to win a CAA championship this week and that's no more no less."

Attacking Coach P over that is ridiculous. I hope the players
ignore that BS and just prepare for the game.
It makes sense when you think about it. JMU finished #1 in the
conference, we finished #2, but never played each other. They
went 8-0, we went 7-1. In many ways next weekend can be looked
at as an unofficial CAA Championship game. We're the two best
conference teams who never played each other. It makes sense.
Settle it on the field.
This attacking Coach P thing over that comment is definitely
"FAKE NEWS."

I was at the game too and the crowd seemed a bit larger than
that (usually things work the other way in terms of announced
crowds). Lehigh had a good-sized visitor group themselves. Given
the Thanksgiving weekend and lack of rivalry with our opponent I
can't complain.
The Patriot League was historically weak this year so the
30-point margin is not unexpected. Would have been an even
greater margin but Coach P had the team start taking a knee with
2:30 left and about 15 yards from a touchdown. At that point
Lehigh was simple unable to tackle us.

I agree with the attendance numbers. There were zero students at
the game. My section, 50 yard line, 2nd level, was looking very
thin. The new seats under the scoreboard only had a few fans
sitting in there. Lehigh visiting side probably had 500 to 750
people, impressive for a visiting team.. Take that away from
4100, and you are looking at around 3500 SB fans.... That is
anemic...
Shawn Heilbron, who regularly comes over to our tailgating
section before each game, was talking about how small the crowd
would be for today's game because of the Thanksgiving break.. We
both agreed, the only way to improve the attendance is to win
games and go deep into the playoffs and have home field
privilege. We also agreed that SB will probably never have a
regularly packed student section because SB is considered a
charter school and a lot of students go home for the weekend..
That's fine. Lets pack the house with local fans like myself and
forget about the student section not being packed.. Older, local
fans who live in the area will eventually come if we are
constantly in the playoffs..

JMU fans are trash talking SB.. I think that is a good thing.
They are nervous and scared, and they should be!!

just to clear the record... because there is a lot of talk about
the CAA title.
i am wrong to say that JMU has already won the title? in what
universe could this be the title game, considering it's the
playoffs.
if the simple answer is it's the "unofficial" title game, well
then a lot of talkers have left out the operative word.

we talk about this over and over again. i think even winning
wont do it. student disaffection and distractions are simply
enough to eclipse football, basketball, baseball, etc. ask
yourself, do the students even know how well football is doing?
maybe some. but not enough.
even if they do know. do they appear at games? not enough
again.
this is fixable. we have a whole thread on this topic. if most
of our student body comes from the same area, easy to get home,
didnt play sports or watch sports, well then change the
composition of the student body.
also consider this- the same reason our attendance is weak is
the same reason we lose recruits. shutting this broken record
off now. GO SB

I encourage you guys to watch the replay of this game.. The ESPN
announcers touched on a few things about Carbone accuracy and a
few other things we dont get to hear when at the games... I
think these guys did a good job with broadcasting this game.
