[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IU.  If you’re OOS for both (and kid doesn’t need/want to be within a certain proximity of home), this isn’t even really a choice.[/quote]

It's tough to beat IU for a kid who wants the traditional college experience.  [/quote]

JMU offers the same experience [/quote]

Not really. IU is in the Big10, which is literally a whole 'nother league.[/quote]

So the stadium is smaller at JMU. The overall student life experience is the same. [/quote]
No need to say more about how you don’t understand college sports. 
This thread is silly indeed. [/quote]

These people will ever understand. The Big 10
has the 3 largest College football stadiums- which sell out almost every weekend. These people can never understand what a real sports program brings to a school not only in money which benefits all students but also the camaraderie and just fun.  Plus an amazing college experience.

OP I don't know where you live since you say you are OOS for both but JMU requires some time driving in 81 which is the worst road (besides 95 of course). You have no idea how bad it is until you are stopped there for hours due to a wreck. Therr are tons of trucks and exits are far apart. So if you say-- well JMU is a 5 hr drive add a good 1-2 hours on there. Hell road. [/quote]

:lol: 
Dramatic much?  81 is not that bad unless there’s a major accident.  I just got back from taking my kid back to VT today.  It took exactly 4 hrs. (2 from JMU).   It’s fine.

As for your snotty comment about “these people,” please.  Plenty of schools have big football programs that fire up the entire campus on game days.  They don’t have to be Big 10 to sell out and create excitement.  Not to mention, sports aren’t the end all be all for a lot of people.  Indiana is fine.  JMU is fine.  Kid should go wherever he prefers.  Dumb thread.[/quote]

Best post yet. +1M[/quote]
