According to former students of his at JMU...understandable?

I'm surprised he likes football...Most of the professors I had didn't give two shits about sports and thought they were a drain on campus resources.

This is very true...but they get tired of the tail wagging the dog...and they grow resentful over time. They might like football...but...

What do you expect him to do? He must be politically correct. Can you imagine the crap he would take if he supported his former employer rather than his current?

The only way he would is if he actually graduated from said former employer. If he has no other allegiance, then he is doing the right thing.

Cut the ties. Totally understandable.

isnt this the SAME PROFESSOR? or his daughter? hmmm.

As being a JMU Duke (grad. 2009) living in Bison country for the past year, I am THRILLED JMU will be playing here. While I’m attending grad school at NDSU, you know I’ll be wearing my purple and gold proudly in the sea of crazy Bison fans. In fact, I’m rubbing it in to my student’s faces today by wearing my JMU shirt around campus today.

Another fun fact about the Fargodome: when it is filled to capacity, the dome is the 6th largest city in North Dakota. This doesn’t mean Fargo with the dome… it just means the dome on its own. J-M-U DUUUKES!!

My girlfriend went on this trip last fall and I was told that the consensus among the NDSU group is that the JMU student body is full of d*cks and pr*cks. I hate East Coast schools. That's just me though

Gotta respect that, don't you? I mean, do you expect people to change their college allegiance every time they move?

Ma and Pa went to grad school at the U of Illinois, but I guarantee that if NDSU plays Illinois, they'll be cheering for the team from North Dakota. Heck, when Dad worked at UND, Mom would go sit in the faculty seats at UND football games and cheer for the other team.

agreed, but in the fargo newspaper he said "i am rooting for ndsu" but then posted on a comment on a JMU blog that he was rubbing the JMU in his ndsu students faces today. seems pretty John Kerry to me! flip flopping.

Not the same professor. The one that commented on the JMU messageboard is a grad assistant going to NDSU now. I think she also writes an online blog for the forum (http://becomingmidwestern.areavoices.com/2011/11/20/dukes-in-bison-country/)

Wow, a post that is three strikes in one: Cyber-stalking, stupidity, and politics. Good bye.

Disagree. Cheer for your alma mater everytime.

Back in my high school coaching days, I was asked in a radio interview what it was like coaching against my high school alma mater. I told them, "the money runs thicker than the blood"! Your allegiance goes to the one who writes the checks.

Sorry, I have to disagree. I have 2 degrees from NDSU, 1 from WSU,post doc'ed at UKy and currently work at the SMHS at UND. No way I'm cheering for UND in anything. The places I EARNED degrees at mean much more to me, than places that simply give me money for what I learned somewhere else.

Well, part of your job is actually to get your football team to win so that makes perfect sense to me.

However, even if a university would write me a check for $1 million, I'd never, ever root against the Bison.
