Accessed August 09, 2016. https://www.jmu.edu/furiousflower/index.shtml.","The Furious Flower Poetry Center (FFPC) was established in 1999 by Joanne V. Gabbin when she was the director of James Madison University's Honors Program. With this flagship of the Honors Program, she continued the kind of programming she had begun by hosting the 1994 Furious Flower Poetry Conference, which was the nation's first scholarly conference on Black poetry. The conference, entitled Furious Flower: A Revolution in African American Poetry, was dedicated to acclaimed poet Gwendolyn Brooks and featured scholars, critics, and the most accomplished and esteemed poets of the time including Nikki Giovanni, Rita Dove, Sonia Sanchez, Michael S. Harper, Haki Madhubuti, and Gwendolyn Brooks herself. The name \"Furious Flower\" is derived from Brooks' poem Second Sermon on the Warpland in which she writes:","The time\ncracks into furious flower. Lifts its face\nall unashamed. And sways in wicked grace.","Many who participated in the inaugural Furious Flower conference had their roots in the Black Arts Movement. The Black Arts Movement emerged in the wake of the Black Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s and was comprised of politically motivated black visionaries, poets, artists, dramatists, musicians, and writers. The conference was met with overwhelming praise and The Washington Post called it an historic event. ","Due to the success of the 1994 Furious Flower Conference, the Furious Flower Poetry Center (FFPC) was established in 1999 and the Conference became a decennial event, held every ten years. The subsequent conferences were Regenerating the Black Poetic Tradition (2004) and Seeding the Future of African American Poetry (2014). Conference programming is comprised of concerts, readings, roundtable and panel discussions, and paper presentations.","In 2005, following the success of the second Furious Flower Poetry Conference (2004), JMU gave the FFPC its official charter, making it the first academic center in the United States devoted to Black poetry. Gabbin became its executive director, leaving the Honors Program after 19 years of service.","Today, the FFPC is committed to \"cultivating, honoring, and promoting the diverse voices of African American poets by making the genre accessible to a wide audience and collaborating with educational and cultural institutions, literary organizations, and artists.\" It hosts visiting poets for readings at JMU and nearby venues; sponsors workshops; holds an annual poetry camp for elementary and middle school-aged children; produces texts, videos, DVDs and other materials on African-American poetry; and gathers poets and other scholars for intimate panels and seminars, as well as major conferences. FFPC has held four decennial Furious Flower Conferences: \"A Revolution in African American Poetry\" (1994), \"Regenerating the Black Poetic Tradition\" (2004), \"Seeding the Future of African American Poetry\" (2014), and \"Furious Flower IV: Celebrating the Worlds of Black Poetry (2024).","FFPC is located off of Martin Luther King Jr. Way/Historic Cantrell Avenue. Beyond her duties as Executive Director of the Furious Flower Poetry Center, Joanne Gabbin is a professor of English at JMU, a published author, and a member of the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent.","The 1994 Conference Video Recordings, 1994 September 29-October 1, were produced by John L. Hodges. The videos represent the raw footage captured during the 1994 Conference.","Additional information on the Dark Room Collective can be found  here.","The donor's original order, including folder titles, was maintained whenever possible. The archivist imposed an order on any unordered files, titled any untitled files, and created discrete series. Social security numbers and bank account numbers have been redacted from materials. When possible, newspapers and clippings were photocopied and originals returned to donor. All material contained within three-ring binders was disbound and foldered in original order. During processing several folders were discovered to be empty. Their folder titles are as follows: Dream in Color Drafts, WHSV Children First 2010, WVPT Kid's Book Festival 2010, Poetry Month 2010, Winter Poetry Contest 2010, Marilyn Nelson Reading 2010, 73 Poems Honorariums (Music). The empty folders were discarded. Numerous folders with small purchase credit card statements and receipts were also discarded. Series I has also been renamed \"Grants and Financial Files.\"","In April 2022, the contents of the Furious Flower Poetry Center Conference Records (UA 0018) were incorporated into the Furious Flower Poetry Center Records (UA 0017) due to the collections' shared provenance and their creation by the same administrative body. The conference records were added as a separate series with subseries for each of the decennial conferences. At this same time, accruals received after initial processing were physically arranged to match their intellectual arrangement. Additional financial files deemed to have limited research value were also weeded in April 2022.

A portion of the material contained within the records derive from events and programs sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center including 73 Poems for 73 Years: Celebrating the Life of Lucille Clifton, Lineage: The Margaret Walker Song Cycle, and an annual children's poetry camp. Specific types of materials include event posters and brochures, exhibit panels, logistical and planning documentation, and email correspondence. Materials related to publications produced by the Center such as Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy and Shaping Memories: Reflections of African American Women Writers are comprised of draft manuscripts and correspondence with poets and publishers.

","FFPC relies heavily on funding from corporate entities and non-profits to subsidize and off-set the cost of furthering their mission of promoting African-American poetry. As such, this series contains grant proposals and awards (all closed) relating to events, publications, and other projects sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. Projects represented in this series include \"Dream in Color,\" an online curriculum sponsored by Target that enabled elementary, middle, and high-school students to discover the works of African-American poets; and the publication of Mourning Katrina, an anthology of poems by observers and survivors of Hurricane Katrina. All grant materials were removed from three-ring binders and foldered, maintaining original order.","Arranged chronologically by project date and sub-arranged alphabetically within each project.","This series contains material related to publications and manuscripts produced by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. In many cases this refers to books in the typical sense (Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy, Furious Flower: African-American Poetry from the Black Arts Movement to the Present), Furious Flower Poetry Center also oversaw the publication of The Painted Word – a set of notecards and a corresponding calendar of poets' portraits. Correspondence with various publishers is also included.","Arranged chronologically by event and sub-arranged alphabetically within each event.","This series is comprised of material relating primarily to the many events, programs, and workshops hosted and sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center.

The Center's annual Children's Poetry Camp is also well documented. Researchers should note that there are some files in this series (e.g. materials concerning Oni Lasana Productions) that are not directly related to events held by FFPC. These events are likely ones attended by FFPC staff or documented because they serve as examples of comparable outreach initiatives or similar types of promotion.","One file of materials related to the Furious Flower Poetry Center's 25th Anniversary Celebration, held in September 2019 at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, include promotional material, a schedule of events, and a copy of the invocation presented by Rev.

This roundtable will investigate the nature and extent of this matrixing. It will consider the relationship of the folk to the popular vernacular mode, whether \"continuity\" or \"disjuncture\" best describes that relationship and how the difference between the two is imprinted upon the literature. It will also consider the nature and validity of rural/urban, southern/northern distinctions as they apply to cultural expressive manifestations such as the blues, and the degree to which these distinctions spill over into the poetry as a literary production.

In short, theory is obligated to explain relations between people and artifacts in the contexts of history and culture. In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

In short, theory is obligated to explain relations between people and artifacts in the contexts of history and culture. In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

It will consider the relationship of the folk to the popular vernacular mode, whether \"continuity\" or \"disjuncture\" best describes that relationship and how the difference between the two is imprinted upon the literature.

In short, theory is obligated to explain relations between people and artifacts in the contexts of history and culture. In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

Accessed August 09, 2016. https://www.jmu.edu/furiousflower/index.shtml.","The Furious Flower Poetry Center (FFPC) was established in 1999 by Joanne V. Gabbin when she was the director of James Madison University's Honors Program. With this flagship of the Honors Program, she continued the kind of programming she had begun by hosting the 1994 Furious Flower Poetry Conference, which was the nation's first scholarly conference on Black poetry. The conference, entitled Furious Flower: A Revolution in African American Poetry, was dedicated to acclaimed poet Gwendolyn Brooks and featured scholars, critics, and the most accomplished and esteemed poets of the time including Nikki Giovanni, Rita Dove, Sonia Sanchez, Michael S. Harper, Haki Madhubuti, and Gwendolyn Brooks herself. The name \"Furious Flower\" is derived from Brooks' poem Second Sermon on the Warpland in which she writes:","The time\ncracks into furious flower. Lifts its face\nall unashamed. And sways in wicked grace.","Many who participated in the inaugural Furious Flower conference had their roots in the Black Arts Movement. The Black Arts Movement emerged in the wake of the Black Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s and was comprised of politically motivated black visionaries, poets, artists, dramatists, musicians, and writers. The conference was met with overwhelming praise and The Washington Post called it an historic event. ","Due to the success of the 1994 Furious Flower Conference, the Furious Flower Poetry Center (FFPC) was established in 1999 and the Conference became a decennial event, held every ten years. The subsequent conferences were Regenerating the Black Poetic Tradition (2004) and Seeding the Future of African American Poetry (2014). Conference programming is comprised of concerts, readings, roundtable and panel discussions, and paper presentations.","In 2005, following the success of the second Furious Flower Poetry Conference (2004), JMU gave the FFPC its official charter, making it the first academic center in the United States devoted to Black poetry. Gabbin became its executive director, leaving the Honors Program after 19 years of service.","Today, the FFPC is committed to \"cultivating, honoring, and promoting the diverse voices of African American poets by making the genre accessible to a wide audience and collaborating with educational and cultural institutions, literary organizations, and artists.\" It hosts visiting poets for readings at JMU and nearby venues; sponsors workshops; holds an annual poetry camp for elementary and middle school-aged children; produces texts, videos, DVDs and other materials on African-American poetry; and gathers poets and other scholars for intimate panels and seminars, as well as major conferences. FFPC has held four decennial Furious Flower Conferences: \"A Revolution in African American Poetry\" (1994), \"Regenerating the Black Poetic Tradition\" (2004), \"Seeding the Future of African American Poetry\" (2014), and \"Furious Flower IV: Celebrating the Worlds of Black Poetry (2024).","FFPC is located off of Martin Luther King Jr. Way/Historic Cantrell Avenue. Beyond her duties as Executive Director of the Furious Flower Poetry Center, Joanne Gabbin is a professor of English at JMU, a published author, and a member of the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent.","The 1994 Conference Video Recordings, 1994 September 29-October 1, were produced by John L. Hodges.

The conference records were added as a separate series with subseries for each of the decennial conferences. At this same time, accruals received after initial processing were physically arranged to match their intellectual arrangement. Additional financial files deemed to have limited research value were also weeded in April 2022. Administrative receipts, travel vouchers, travel expenses and reimbursements, travel authorizations, purchase orders, invoices for supplies, monthly detail budget reports, and budget revisions were returned to FFPC.","Processing of audiovisual content is in-process as of April 2022.

A portion of the material contained within the records derive from events and programs sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center including 73 Poems for 73 Years: Celebrating the Life of Lucille Clifton, Lineage: The Margaret Walker Song Cycle, and an annual children's poetry camp. Specific types of materials include event posters and brochures, exhibit panels, logistical and planning documentation, and email correspondence. Materials related to publications produced by the Center such as Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy and Shaping Memories: Reflections of African American Women Writers are comprised of draft manuscripts and correspondence with poets and publishers. Grant proposals and awards, many of which relate to the aforementioned events and projects, are also represented. Materials related to the decennial Furious Flower poetry conferences, including administrative documentation and video recordings, are represented in the Conference Records series.","Arranged chronologically. ","FFPC relies heavily on funding from corporate entities and non-profits to subsidize and off-set the cost of furthering their mission of promoting African-American poetry. As such, this series contains grant proposals and awards (all closed) relating to events, publications, and other projects sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. Projects represented in this series include \"Dream in Color,\" an online curriculum sponsored by Target that enabled elementary, middle, and high-school students to discover the works of African-American poets; and the publication of Mourning Katrina, an anthology of poems by observers and survivors of Hurricane Katrina. All grant materials were removed from three-ring binders and foldered, maintaining original order.","Arranged chronologically by project date and sub-arranged alphabetically within each project.","This series contains material related to publications and manuscripts produced by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. In many cases this refers to books in the typical sense (Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy, Furious Flower: African-American Poetry from the Black Arts Movement to the Present), Furious Flower Poetry Center also oversaw the publication of The Painted Word – a set of notecards and a corresponding calendar of poets' portraits. Correspondence with various publishers is also included.","Arranged chronologically by event and sub-arranged alphabetically within each event.","This series is comprised of material relating primarily to the many events, programs, and workshops hosted and sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. Major events represented in this series include Tell Me Your Names: The Poetry of Lucille Clifton, a week-long seminar held June 14 –June 21, 2009 and 73 Poems for 73 Years: Celebrating the Life of Lucille Clifton, a tribute program held September 21, 2010. Of particular interest are 57 oversize exhibit panels from Among Poets: Lucille Clifton Commemorative Exhibition. This 2012 exhibition held at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum and the Enoch Pratt Free Library, both in Baltimore, Maryland, primarily feature photographs by Lynda Koolish of Lucille Clifton, her contemporaries, and her family and friends. The Center's annual Children's Poetry Camp is also well documented. Researchers should note that there are some files in this series (e.g. materials concerning Oni Lasana Productions) that are not directly related to events held by FFPC. These events are likely ones attended by FFPC staff or documented because they serve as examples of comparable outreach initiatives or similar types of promotion.","One file of materials related to the Furious Flower Poetry Center's 25th Anniversary Celebration, held in September 2019 at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, include promotional material, a schedule of events, and a copy of the invocation presented by Rev.

These materials are comprised of calls for papers, contracts, correspondence, address lists, ticket requests, travel, transportation, and lodging reservations, and menus. The records include nontraditional items as well. Of interest are exhibit panels (text labels and images) describing and depicting the participants of the 1994 conference.

This roundtable will investigate the nature and extent of this matrixing. It will consider the relationship of the folk to the popular vernacular mode, whether \"continuity\" or \"disjuncture\" best describes that relationship and how the difference between the two is imprinted upon the literature. It will also consider the nature and validity of rural/urban, southern/northern distinctions as they apply to cultural expressive manifestations such as the blues, and the degree to which these distinctions spill over into the poetry as a literary production.

In short, theory is obligated to explain relations between people and artifacts in the contexts of history and culture. In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

At this same time, accruals received after initial processing were physically arranged to match their intellectual arrangement. Additional financial files deemed to have limited research value were also weeded in April 2022. Administrative receipts, travel vouchers, travel expenses and reimbursements, travel authorizations, purchase orders, invoices for supplies, monthly detail budget reports, and budget revisions were returned to FFPC.","Processing of audiovisual content is in-process as of April 2022.

The archivist imposed an order on any unordered files, titled any untitled files, and created discrete series. Social security numbers and bank account numbers have been redacted from materials. When possible, newspapers and clippings were photocopied and originals returned to donor. The collection of magnesium letterpress die plates are individually boxed and organized by the poem's appearance in the publication Furious Flower: A Revolution in African American Poetry into larger boxes (one record storage box and one oversize Hollinger box). Furious Flower Poetry Center donated a box of rolled posters in cardboard tubes, all identical, from the 1994 and 2004 conferences – each cardboard tube contained one 1994 poster and one 2004 poster. Due to duplication elsewhere in this collection, only one set of posters was retained. They were flattened and placed in the Oversize series.

In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

It will consider the relationship of the folk to the popular vernacular mode, whether \"continuity\" or \"disjuncture\" best describes that relationship and how the difference between the two is imprinted upon the literature.

In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

While there was conversation happening behind the scenes about James Madison University being that week's possible location, it was a tweet from Lee Fitting, ESPN producer for GameDay, that started public recognition of the school for a possible host for GameDay. His tweet came as a response from a James Madison University account called \"JMU Duke Blawg\" who had been pushing for ESPN GameDay attention.

While there was conversation happening behind the scenes about James Madison University being that week's possible location, it was a tweet from Lee Fitting, ESPN producer for GameDay, that started public recognition of the school for a possible host for GameDay.

ESPN announced on Sunday, October 18, 2015 that James Madison University would host the 2015 College GameDay on Saturday, October 24.","The 2017 choice for GameDay was heavily influenced by online presence from the university and their long winning streak. With the popularization of social media, online attention from universities have become an easy way to get recognized, and from this, receive opportunities such as GameDay. The strategy for James Madison University was to lay the groundwork throughout their season while also maintaining a strong online presence in order to be considered. The Breeze, James Madison University's school newspaper, posted an article on September 21, 2017 laying out the strategy in place to secure a second year of hosting College GameDay. Part of the university's strategy included ensuring that James Madison University remained undefeated, that Villanova remained undefeated, and that the \"JMU Nation must continue to nag College GameDay on social media.\" Ultimately, James Madison University went on to have the nation's longest winning streak, 17 games, in the lead up to ESPN College GameDay. On Sunday, October 8, 2017 ESPN officially announced that James Madison University would host GameDay on Saturday, October 14, 2017.","ESPN College GameDay's third visit to Harrisonburg on November 18, 2023 was marked by a record setting crowd of approximately 26,000 people. Additionally, GameDay celebrated its 30th anniversary with its visit to JMU which also included musical performances by the Jonas Brothers and Bailey Zimmerman.","Leading up to GameDay, JMU and the NCAA were embroiled in a bowl game controversy related to JMU's transition period after switching from the Coastal Athletic Association to the Sun Belt Conference in 2021. Per NCAA rules, a two-year transition period is required for teams to fully transition from Division I FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) to Division I FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision). JMU's transition period was in effect from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. While JMU was undefeated and nationally ranked at the time, the NCAA upheld the transition period rule that the football team would not be bowl eligible. Ultimately, JMU was able to play in a bowl game (Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl vs. Air Force, 2023 December 23) since there were not enough six-win teams to fill all the bowl game slots.","Wooden dowels, PVC pipes, and other yard sticks were removed from signs. Given the usage of mixed media (glitter, ribbons, paint, etc.) in their creation, the posters were interfiled with acid-free paper. Several of the physical posters exhibit smearing due to water exposure and warping as well as color loss and image degradation.","The 2015 and 2017 posters were digitized in October 2022 by graduate assistants Mariam Ismail and Kayleigh Bishop using a Nikon D3300 digital camera with a 18-55 mm lens. Bodeene Amyot Cairdeas, digital and audiovisual archivist, edited the digital files to address the following issues: color, exposure, and lens correction, distortion, and chromatic aberration. Tiffany Cole, archivist, uploaded the edited files and respective metadata into JSTOR Forum/Artstor in December 2022.","The ESPN College GameDay Posters consist of 70 posters created for the 2015, 2017, and 2023 ESPN College GameDay braodcasts held on the campus of James Madison University. Two of the posters were made for the 2015 ESPN College GameDay against the Richmond Spiders. Fourteen of the posters were created for the 2017 ESPN College GameDay against the Villanova Wildcats. Fifty-four posters document the 2023 ESPN College GameDay against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. ","Internet memes, defined as humorous images online that are often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations, are used throughout the posters and represent the cultural references of the period and sometimes inside jokes from students at James Madison University directed at the opposing team. The signs also frequently draw on pop culture references and poke fun at the opposing team and their fanbase. ","The 2015 GameDay posters focus on James Madison University's quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique  Lee, implying he will lead them to victory. Vad Lee had a strong season in 2014 by taking James Madison University to the FCS playoffs and led a strong 2015 season leading up to the Richmond game, season statistics were (7-0; 4-0) at this point in the season. These posters center on Vad's leadership skills as quarterback and cheer him on through various pop culture references from 2015.","The poster is a play on words from George Thorogood's song \"Bad to the Bone\" to cheer on James Madison University's 2015 quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique  Lee.","The poster plays on the popular catchphrase \"Hulk smash\" and depicts 2015 quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique Lee, as smashing the Richmond's mascot WebstUR the spider. The quote \"Hulk smash\" was made popular from a series of Marvel movies wherein the comic book character the hulk proclaims \"HULK SMASH\" before smashing something. While also popular from the comics themselves, the phrase made its way into pop culture references after Marvel began releasing movies with the Hulk often quoting the phrase in them. The poster references how the James Madison University quarterback is going to smash the Villanova football team. ","Poster is signed by Jonathan \"Jon\" Alger, the President of James Madison University, Matt Brady, and Samantha \"Sam\" Ponder.","The 2017 GameDay posters primarily focus on James Madison University's strength as a team, and school, over Villanova. Using viral internet images popular in 2017, they center on the inferiority of the Villanova team when being compared to James Madison University. These viral images, often called memes, are variously displaying James Madison University's \"superior taste\" in all regards. Calling attention to Villanova's cost of tuition and low football game attendance rates, the majority of the posters purport that James Madison University will defeat them. One poster references an inside joke to James Madison University students about how Villanova will lose the football game because they are not fans of the correct condiment. There are some posters that center less on the animosity of the two teams and instead are saying hello to friends and family.","The poster revises the common saying \"don't bring a knife to a gunfight,\" popularized by the 1987 film \"The Untouchables,\" to display the superiority of James Madison University's mascot, the Duke Dog, over Villanova's own Will D. Cat, the wildcat. The poster is meant to imply that not only are dogs better than cats but that James Madison University will perform better than Villanova's team.","The poster follows a popularized internet format, commonly called a meme, to depict how James Madison University is better than Villanova. The image is commonly known as the \"You vs. the guy meme\" and is meant to be used to show how one guy is superior to another. The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.","The poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.","The poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog. The implication is that Villanova's football team will lose because they, like their mascot, are not threatening enough to beat James Madison University.","The poster discusses James Madison University's high attendance to football games. Villanova's 2017 season had low attendance rates, 5,649 average for their home team attendance. James Madison University's 2017 home team attendance is averaged around 21,724. The ESPN GameDay estimated attendance was around 14,000 people. The poster uses these statistics to show the support for James Madison University over Villanova and their hopes that this will impact the outcome of the game.","The poster uses yum-yum sauce, a Japanese steakhouse mayonnaise sauce, to undermine Villanova. Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay. ","While popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus. It was removed from D-hall after a few years and is now remembered fondly by those students who were on campus at the time.","The full poster details the specific costs of attending Villanova in 2017. It lists out the prices of tuition and fees, $49,430, room and board, $13,093, and books and miscellaneous items, $3,400. These prices are all added up and the total is stated as \"1 a$$ kicking from JMU.\" The poster is discussing how Villanova's high cost to attend is not reflected in their ability to beat James Madison University at football. The poster is detailing not only James Madison University's lower cost of attendance but is attempting to explain how money at a university does not translate to techinical abilities on the field.","The poster functions as a gesture from a student to their parents during GameDay weekend. With GameDay being broadcast on ESPN, this poster is a way for a student to show their family where they are on the broadcast and say hello to them from the crowd.","The poster features James Madison University's colors of gold and purple with the university letters surrounded by hearts. The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster states how James Madison's successful season, 17 straight wins at this point in 2017, will lead to a victory over the Villanova team. The statement of \"it's OVA\" is a reference to a common phrase about something already being done. The connotation here is that it is already over for Villanova and James Madison University will win. ","The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster uses a popular internet graphic from the 2010s to depict how former James Madison University head coach, Everett Withers is regretting his decision to leave and coach at Texas State University. ","An internet meme is a humorous image online that is often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations. The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl. Traditionally, the meme is used to show how someone is disloyal or regretting a choice they have made. The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.","The poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. ","Additionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it. This is likely a message from a student to their family. Knowing that GameDay will be streaming on ESPN, it would have served as a way for their family to see them on TV and say \"hey\" from the large GameDay crowd. ","The poster is in reference to a comment by Cam Newton, then Carolina Panthers quarterback, to reporter Jourdan Rodrigue on October 4, 2017. In response to her question about running routes with wide receiver Devin Funchess, Cam Newton responded \"it's funny to hear a female talk about routes.\" This poster references said comment and undermines Newton's comment about women. The poster has an unknown signature on it.","The poster uses a pop culture reference to a popular children's television show to display how bad of a team Villanova is. Referencing the popular show Spongebob Squarepants, the poster is meant to show Villanova's distasteful nature in their choice of restaurant from the show. Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students. It is also inferred that due to their restaurant choice Villanova will lose the game because they have inferior restaurant tastes compared to James Madison University. ","The poster has an unknown signature.","The poster uses a popular image from \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\" film to represent the superiority of James Madison University's football team over Villanova's. Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other. The poster adds the university logos to each ghost character to further this point of James Madison University being better sports team than Villanova.","Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture.","Sign reads \"Joe Jonas I'm Single (also go dukes)\" and is in reference to Joe Jonas's recent separation from Sophie Turner. Created by Olivia Lewis ('23).","The sign suggests that JMU will easily defeat Appalachian State, whose mascot is Yosef the Mountaineer. The hashtag #everythingschool is also included which refers to the JMU's success in numerous sports during the fall of 2023 including football, men's basketball, and women's soccer. While some colleges and universities are historically known to be a \"football school\" or a \"basketball school\", JMU conversely was colloquially recognized as an \"everything school\" by excelling in all things.","Sign includes purple and gold paw prints and a hand-drawn barking Duke Dog. Created by Lydia Endersby ('23).","The sign reimagines a line from the song \"Munch (Feelin' U)\" by Ice Spice, released in 2023, and presumably refers to Kevin Jonas. Created by Laine Kelly ('25).","Two-sided sign.","The primary side features the Duke Dog standing on the top of a mountain peak saying \"Roll Dukes\" while Yosef the Mountaineer, the Appalachian State mascot, rolls down on a boulder to the base of the mountain to join the other opponents JMU defeated earlier in the season.","The opposite side requests that Nick Jonas show his Dexcom device, a continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes management, and the sign-holder will show him theirs. Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13.","The sign refers to ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit's Golden Retriever named Ben who frequently accompanied Herbstreit on his trips to call and analyze football games. Ben was in attendance at JMU's College GameDay.","The NCAA's ruling that JMU was ineligible to play in a bowl game because of their two-year transition period from FCS to FBS demonstrates the NCAA's hatred for puppies. The sign features a picture of a crying Duke Dog.","Demands of the NCAA to let JMU play in a bowl game and invokes the Jonas Brothers by using a play on the popular phrase \"What Would Jesus Do?\"","A sign presumably created for a two-year-old JMU fan and future Duke.","Features the Duke Dog trash talking Appalachian State by making a pun about their mascot Yosef.","Two-sided sign.","One side accuses Applachian State of having pubic lice. Includes the hashtag #RollMotherF*ckingDukes. The creator of the sign was dressed in a crab suit during GameDay.","The second side features a map of Virginia (labeled JMU) and North Carolina (labeled App State) using it as rationale for Appalachian State being inferior to JMU.","During a November 13, 2023 press conference, Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team, referred to his team as \"America's team.\" The sign offers a counterpoint, asserting that JMU is actually America's team. Created by John Bowen Jr. ('04).","Two-sided sign.","One side features a play on words using the Sun Belt Conference, of which JMU became a member in 2022, and the phrase \"fly too close to the sun\" which refers to the story of Icarus in Greek mythology.","The second side requests information on Joe Jonas's impending divorce from actress Sophie Turner and follows up with the parenthetical question \"Marry Me??\"","The sign demonstrates fandom for JMU through the practice of sharing one's pronouns. Includes a graphic of the Duke Dog riding on a flying bald eagle.","The sign uses the lyrics of the Jonas Brothers song \"Sucker\" to convey the similarities and closeness between JMU and the band. Each of the Jonas Brothers' faces is superimposed on a bowling pin referring to the NCAA bowl eligibility controversy.","Accuses Desmond Howard of stealing Kirk Herbstreit's talking points for ESPN College GameDay. Both are analysts on the college football pre-game show. The sign may also allude to the University of Michigan sign-stealing controversy of 2023 given that Desmond Howard played college football at Michigan.","Features purple and gold \"JMU\" in bubble letters.","Features an image of Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift taken on the night of September 19, 2023 while the two were out in New York City. Also includes the hashtag #TeamSophie and select lyrics from Swift's song \"Vigilante Shit.\" The sign is an obvious reference to Turner's recent separation from Joe Jonas.","Comments on the success of JMU's football team by making reference to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Burnin' Up.\"","Two-sided sign.","One side declares that JMU (hot) is superior to App State (not).","The second side encourages people to support libraries.","Two-sided sign. Both sides are identical.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Demands of the NCAA to allow JMU play in a bowl game.","The sign predicts JMU will have a record of 11-0 after their game against Appalachian State, presuming a victory over the Mountaineers. Also includes the slogan made popular by Apple in 2009 claiming that there is an application for everything.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","Crossword-style graphic and includes image of embarrassed Duke Dog and football helmet.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Also includes the hashtag #letjmubowl.","James Madison is universally acknowledged as the Father of the Constitution due to his instrumental role in drafting the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. The sign argues that James Madison is also the father of football, a claim likely made due to JMU's dominance in football. Includes drawing of the American flag and the Duke Dog holding a copy of the Bill of Rights with the amendment \"JMU shall bowl.\"","Quotes the Preamble of the Constitution to convince the NCAA to allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Includes image of James Madison wearing sunglasses and bowling pins labeled with each of JMU's opponents up until that point in the 2023 season. Created by Maddy Brendel ('27).","Refers to the two-year transition period the NCAA requires of teams that join new conferences before they're allowed to play in the postseason. Includes each teams' win percentage since 2022 when JMU formally joined the Sun Belt Conference. JMU had an 86% win percentage while Appalachian State's win percentage was 55%.","Demands that the NCAA allow JMU to play in a bowl game by touting the team's undefeated record. Other imagery identifies Appalachian State as losers while JMU are winners.","Printed sign features official JMU letters and an artifical intelligence (AI)-generated Duke Dog with a fierce facial expression and a crown.","Printed sign features JMU logo (Duke Dog on top of JMU letters) with the phrases \"Duke Dog's Ready to Pound\" and \"Welcome to Our House!\"","Accuses Appalachian State fans of urinating while standing and therefore being weak or effeminate or any number of other presumed insults associated with that manner of using the bathroom.

The Duke Dog is featured holding a football and appears to be running similar to how a football player rushes for yards.","Features image of Count von Count from Sesame Street on a television screen with the numbers 11-0 to signify what would be JMU's record if they beat Appalachian State.","Two-sided sign.","The primary side of the sign includes a quote and scene from the movie  Mean Girls  during which Regina George (JMU), played by Rachel McAdams, insults Cady Heron (Appalachian State), played by Lindsay Lohan.","The other side pleads to Barstool Sports, a digital media company, to hire the creator of the sign who will be a 2024 graduate of the School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD) and claims \"I need a job.\" Includes email address for contact.","Compares the average Appalachian State fan to Pinhead Larry, a character played by Patrick Star from the cartoon television show  Spongebob Squarepants . Pinhead Larry is depicted as a dimwit and only has one tooth.","Includes official NCAA logo with \"Unfair\" underneath referring to the NCAA's decision to deny JMU from playing in a bowl game. Created by Riley Isakower ('22).","Crossword-style graphic asserting that JMU should be eligible to play in a bowl game with JMU-Duke Dog logo.","Invokes the popular internet meme \"girl math\" by using the equation that JMU plus an 11-0 record equals (or should equal) a bowl game. A 10-0 record is crossed out and replaced with an 11-0 record which presumes JMU will beat Appalachian State. The typical concept of girl math is a humorous way of rationalizing extravagent, unnecessary, or impulsive purchases.","Pair of complementary signs each shaped like a foot.","The left foot sign reads \"Our Dawgs Are Barkin'\" which is a common saying when someone's feet are hurt. It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","The right foot sign reads \"Let the Dawgs Out\" is a reference to the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a scene from the television show  The Office  in which a younger Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, is shaking hands with his then boss Ed Truck, played by Ken Howard. The handshake meme is typically used to illustrate commonalities between two entities. In this case, the act of consistently making horrible decisions and the NCAA are shaking hands and are therefore in solidarity. This refers to the NCAA's decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","The second side is a black-and-white swirl optical illusion.","Images from the 2012 U.S. Open bowling tournament during which professional bowler Pete Weber bowled a strike during the final frame and subsequently won the tournament. Famously, Weber launched into a celebratory fit and yelled the incoherent phrase \"Who do you think you are? I am!\" This illogical celebration became a popular internet meme.","One image features Weber in his bowling stance. The NCAA logo is superimposed onto Weber and the JMU logo is superimposed onto Weber's bowling ball. The second image shows Weber's celebration with Curt Cignett's face superimposed onto Weber's face.  ","Includes the hashtag #letusbowl.","Two-sided sign.","One side has a congratulatory theme due to ESPN College GameDay's 30th anniversary.","The other side identifies the sign creators as both JMU alumni and parents to a student at the University of Auburn.","Refers to the viral Tik Tok motivational catchphrase \"Never back down. Never What? Never give up\" made popular by Nick Eh 30, an online streamer. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog his muscles.","Refers to the JMU tradition of holding the door for others when entering and exiting a building.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a comparison of the University of Michigan and JMU football teams and concludes that the NCAA does not make sense. Michigan's head football coach, Jim Harbaugh, is noted as having been twice suspended in 2023 for impermissible recruiting and chating while JMU's coach was not suspended at all. Michigan was involved in a cheating scandal while JMU was not. Despite all of this Michigan was bowl eligible while JMU was not thus the argument that the NCAA  is an illogical entity.","The second side reads \"JMU Duuukes\" which is a common chant among fans.","Festive sign that reads \"Fans For 40 Years - ESPN College GameDay - Go Dukes! - Beat App State.\" Created by Kenny Sothoron ('83) and Rebecca Woodcock Sothoron ('85).","Features a scene from  SpongeBob SquarePants  with Patrick Star and Tattletale Strangler who are both in jail. Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh's head is superimposed onto Patrick Star and the Duke Dog-JMU logo is superimposed on Tattletale Strangler. Patrick Star/Jim Harbaugh is asking Tattletale Strangler/JMU \"Hey pal, what're you in for?\" referencing Harbaugh's suspension for cheating and presumably JMU's sentence brought down by the NCAA of being bowl ineligible.","Two-sided sign.","One side states that enrolling for a sixth year of college was a wise choice due to ESPN College GameDay visiting campus as well as JMU being superior in all things. Includes \"Everything School\" logo in JMU colors.","Second side uses a turn of phrase regarding dogs and bowls to argue that JMU, whose mascot is a dog, should be eligible to play in a bowl game. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog and a bowl-shaped trophy with a clip-art picture of a peach on it which presumably refers to the Peach Bowl.

Using viral internet images popular in 2017, they center on the inferiority of the Villanova team when being compared to James Madison University. These viral images, often called memes, are variously displaying James Madison University's \"superior taste\" in all regards. Calling attention to Villanova's cost of tuition and low football game attendance rates, the majority of the posters purport that James Madison University will defeat them.

The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog.

Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices.

The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl.

The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it.

Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students.

Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other.

Cat, the wildcat. The poster is meant to imply that not only are dogs better than cats but that James Madison University will perform better than Villanova's team.","The poster follows a popularized internet format, commonly called a meme, to depict how James Madison University is better than Villanova. The image is commonly known as the \"You vs. the guy meme\" and is meant to be used to show how one guy is superior to another. The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.","The poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.","The poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog. The implication is that Villanova's football team will lose because they, like their mascot, are not threatening enough to beat James Madison University.","The poster discusses James Madison University's high attendance to football games. Villanova's 2017 season had low attendance rates, 5,649 average for their home team attendance. James Madison University's 2017 home team attendance is averaged around 21,724. The ESPN GameDay estimated attendance was around 14,000 people. The poster uses these statistics to show the support for James Madison University over Villanova and their hopes that this will impact the outcome of the game.","The poster uses yum-yum sauce, a Japanese steakhouse mayonnaise sauce, to undermine Villanova. Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay. ","While popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus. It was removed from D-hall after a few years and is now remembered fondly by those students who were on campus at the time.","The full poster details the specific costs of attending Villanova in 2017. It lists out the prices of tuition and fees, $49,430, room and board, $13,093, and books and miscellaneous items, $3,400. These prices are all added up and the total is stated as \"1 a$$ kicking from JMU.\" The poster is discussing how Villanova's high cost to attend is not reflected in their ability to beat James Madison University at football. The poster is detailing not only James Madison University's lower cost of attendance but is attempting to explain how money at a university does not translate to techinical abilities on the field.","The poster functions as a gesture from a student to their parents during GameDay weekend. With GameDay being broadcast on ESPN, this poster is a way for a student to show their family where they are on the broadcast and say hello to them from the crowd.","The poster features James Madison University's colors of gold and purple with the university letters surrounded by hearts. The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster states how James Madison's successful season, 17 straight wins at this point in 2017, will lead to a victory over the Villanova team. The statement of \"it's OVA\" is a reference to a common phrase about something already being done. The connotation here is that it is already over for Villanova and James Madison University will win. ","The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster uses a popular internet graphic from the 2010s to depict how former James Madison University head coach, Everett Withers is regretting his decision to leave and coach at Texas State University. ","An internet meme is a humorous image online that is often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations. The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl. Traditionally, the meme is used to show how someone is disloyal or regretting a choice they have made. The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.","The poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. ","Additionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it. This is likely a message from a student to their family. Knowing that GameDay will be streaming on ESPN, it would have served as a way for their family to see them on TV and say \"hey\" from the large GameDay crowd. ","The poster is in reference to a comment by Cam Newton, then Carolina Panthers quarterback, to reporter Jourdan Rodrigue on October 4, 2017. In response to her question about running routes with wide receiver Devin Funchess, Cam Newton responded \"it's funny to hear a female talk about routes.\" This poster references said comment and undermines Newton's comment about women. The poster has an unknown signature on it.","The poster uses a pop culture reference to a popular children's television show to display how bad of a team Villanova is. Referencing the popular show Spongebob Squarepants, the poster is meant to show Villanova's distasteful nature in their choice of restaurant from the show. Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students. It is also inferred that due to their restaurant choice Villanova will lose the game because they have inferior restaurant tastes compared to James Madison University. ","The poster has an unknown signature.","The poster uses a popular image from \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\" film to represent the superiority of James Madison University's football team over Villanova's. Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other. The poster adds the university logos to each ghost character to further this point of James Madison University being better sports team than Villanova.","Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture.","Sign reads \"Joe Jonas I'm Single (also go dukes)\" and is in reference to Joe Jonas's recent separation from Sophie Turner. Created by Olivia Lewis ('23).","The sign suggests that JMU will easily defeat Appalachian State, whose mascot is Yosef the Mountaineer. The hashtag #everythingschool is also included which refers to the JMU's success in numerous sports during the fall of 2023 including football, men's basketball, and women's soccer. While some colleges and universities are historically known to be a \"football school\" or a \"basketball school\", JMU conversely was colloquially recognized as an \"everything school\" by excelling in all things.","Sign includes purple and gold paw prints and a hand-drawn barking Duke Dog. Created by Lydia Endersby ('23).","The sign reimagines a line from the song \"Munch (Feelin' U)\" by Ice Spice, released in 2023, and presumably refers to Kevin Jonas. Created by Laine Kelly ('25).","Two-sided sign.","The primary side features the Duke Dog standing on the top of a mountain peak saying \"Roll Dukes\" while Yosef the Mountaineer, the Appalachian State mascot, rolls down on a boulder to the base of the mountain to join the other opponents JMU defeated earlier in the season.","The opposite side requests that Nick Jonas show his Dexcom device, a continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes management, and the sign-holder will show him theirs. Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13.","The sign refers to ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit's Golden Retriever named Ben who frequently accompanied Herbstreit on his trips to call and analyze football games. Ben was in attendance at JMU's College GameDay.","The NCAA's ruling that JMU was ineligible to play in a bowl game because of their two-year transition period from FCS to FBS demonstrates the NCAA's hatred for puppies. The sign features a picture of a crying Duke Dog.","Demands of the NCAA to let JMU play in a bowl game and invokes the Jonas Brothers by using a play on the popular phrase \"What Would Jesus Do?\"","A sign presumably created for a two-year-old JMU fan and future Duke.","Features the Duke Dog trash talking Appalachian State by making a pun about their mascot Yosef.","Two-sided sign.","One side accuses Applachian State of having pubic lice. Includes the hashtag #RollMotherF*ckingDukes. The creator of the sign was dressed in a crab suit during GameDay.","The second side features a map of Virginia (labeled JMU) and North Carolina (labeled App State) using it as rationale for Appalachian State being inferior to JMU.","During a November 13, 2023 press conference, Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team, referred to his team as \"America's team.\" The sign offers a counterpoint, asserting that JMU is actually America's team. Created by John Bowen Jr. ('04).","Two-sided sign.","One side features a play on words using the Sun Belt Conference, of which JMU became a member in 2022, and the phrase \"fly too close to the sun\" which refers to the story of Icarus in Greek mythology.","The second side requests information on Joe Jonas's impending divorce from actress Sophie Turner and follows up with the parenthetical question \"Marry Me??\"","The sign demonstrates fandom for JMU through the practice of sharing one's pronouns. Includes a graphic of the Duke Dog riding on a flying bald eagle.","The sign uses the lyrics of the Jonas Brothers song \"Sucker\" to convey the similarities and closeness between JMU and the band. Each of the Jonas Brothers' faces is superimposed on a bowling pin referring to the NCAA bowl eligibility controversy.","Accuses Desmond Howard of stealing Kirk Herbstreit's talking points for ESPN College GameDay. Both are analysts on the college football pre-game show. The sign may also allude to the University of Michigan sign-stealing controversy of 2023 given that Desmond Howard played college football at Michigan.","Features purple and gold \"JMU\" in bubble letters.","Features an image of Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift taken on the night of September 19, 2023 while the two were out in New York City. Also includes the hashtag #TeamSophie and select lyrics from Swift's song \"Vigilante Shit.\" The sign is an obvious reference to Turner's recent separation from Joe Jonas.","Comments on the success of JMU's football team by making reference to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Burnin' Up.\"","Two-sided sign.","One side declares that JMU (hot) is superior to App State (not).","The second side encourages people to support libraries.","Two-sided sign. Both sides are identical.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Demands of the NCAA to allow JMU play in a bowl game.","The sign predicts JMU will have a record of 11-0 after their game against Appalachian State, presuming a victory over the Mountaineers. Also includes the slogan made popular by Apple in 2009 claiming that there is an application for everything.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","Crossword-style graphic and includes image of embarrassed Duke Dog and football helmet.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Also includes the hashtag #letjmubowl.","James Madison is universally acknowledged as the Father of the Constitution due to his instrumental role in drafting the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. The sign argues that James Madison is also the father of football, a claim likely made due to JMU's dominance in football. Includes drawing of the American flag and the Duke Dog holding a copy of the Bill of Rights with the amendment \"JMU shall bowl.\"","Quotes the Preamble of the Constitution to convince the NCAA to allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Includes image of James Madison wearing sunglasses and bowling pins labeled with each of JMU's opponents up until that point in the 2023 season. Created by Maddy Brendel ('27).","Refers to the two-year transition period the NCAA requires of teams that join new conferences before they're allowed to play in the postseason. Includes each teams' win percentage since 2022 when JMU formally joined the Sun Belt Conference. JMU had an 86% win percentage while Appalachian State's win percentage was 55%.","Demands that the NCAA allow JMU to play in a bowl game by touting the team's undefeated record. Other imagery identifies Appalachian State as losers while JMU are winners.","Printed sign features official JMU letters and an artifical intelligence (AI)-generated Duke Dog with a fierce facial expression and a crown.","Printed sign features JMU logo (Duke Dog on top of JMU letters) with the phrases \"Duke Dog's Ready to Pound\" and \"Welcome to Our House!\"","Accuses Appalachian State fans of urinating while standing and therefore being weak or effeminate or any number of other presumed insults associated with that manner of using the bathroom. The attack is likely targeted at men fans who would otherwise stand while they urinate. The word \"Pee\" is in yellow letters.","Four-sided laminated sign.","1. \"Who Let the Dukes Out???\" is a reinterpretation of the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" The song has historically been associated with sporting events.","2. \"I'm a Sucker for (JM)U\" uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","3. \"JMU = Virginia's School\" asserts that JMU is the flagship university in the state, not Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, William \u0026 Mary, or others.","4. \"We Want the Jonas Bros to Stay at JMU Until the Year 3,000?\" refers to the Jonas Brothers' 2006 song \"Year 3000.\"","Creator included initials and date to each side -  \"KEL 2023.\"","Features a game prediction alongside graphic of Baby Yoda (aka Grogu). The prediction uses the object-subject-verb pattern that is typical of Yoda speak.","Features a photoshopped image of Lee Corso, GameDay analyst, wearing a birthday cake hat. ESPN College GameDay formally celebrated its 30th anniversary as part of the festivities at JMU on November 18, 2023. The program first used a traveling broadcast model for its November 13, 1993 show.","Uses the hashtag #letJMUbowl to plead to the NCAA that JMU should be able to play in a post-season bowl game. The Duke Dog is featured holding a football and appears to be running similar to how a football player rushes for yards.","Features image of Count von Count from Sesame Street on a television screen with the numbers 11-0 to signify what would be JMU's record if they beat Appalachian State.","Two-sided sign.","The primary side of the sign includes a quote and scene from the movie  Mean Girls  during which Regina George (JMU), played by Rachel McAdams, insults Cady Heron (Appalachian State), played by Lindsay Lohan.","The other side pleads to Barstool Sports, a digital media company, to hire the creator of the sign who will be a 2024 graduate of the School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD) and claims \"I need a job.\" Includes email address for contact.","Compares the average Appalachian State fan to Pinhead Larry, a character played by Patrick Star from the cartoon television show  Spongebob Squarepants . Pinhead Larry is depicted as a dimwit and only has one tooth.","Includes official NCAA logo with \"Unfair\" underneath referring to the NCAA's decision to deny JMU from playing in a bowl game. Created by Riley Isakower ('22).","Crossword-style graphic asserting that JMU should be eligible to play in a bowl game with JMU-Duke Dog logo.","Invokes the popular internet meme \"girl math\" by using the equation that JMU plus an 11-0 record equals (or should equal) a bowl game. A 10-0 record is crossed out and replaced with an 11-0 record which presumes JMU will beat Appalachian State. The typical concept of girl math is a humorous way of rationalizing extravagent, unnecessary, or impulsive purchases.","Pair of complementary signs each shaped like a foot.","The left foot sign reads \"Our Dawgs Are Barkin'\" which is a common saying when someone's feet are hurt. It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","The right foot sign reads \"Let the Dawgs Out\" is a reference to the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a scene from the television show  The Office  in which a younger Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, is shaking hands with his then boss Ed Truck, played by Ken Howard. The handshake meme is typically used to illustrate commonalities between two entities. In this case, the act of consistently making horrible decisions and the NCAA are shaking hands and are therefore in solidarity. This refers to the NCAA's decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","The second side is a black-and-white swirl optical illusion.","Images from the 2012 U.S. Open bowling tournament during which professional bowler Pete Weber bowled a strike during the final frame and subsequently won the tournament. Famously, Weber launched into a celebratory fit and yelled the incoherent phrase \"Who do you think you are? I am!\" This illogical celebration became a popular internet meme.","One image features Weber in his bowling stance. The NCAA logo is superimposed onto Weber and the JMU logo is superimposed onto Weber's bowling ball. The second image shows Weber's celebration with Curt Cignett's face superimposed onto Weber's face.  ","Includes the hashtag #letusbowl.","Two-sided sign.","One side has a congratulatory theme due to ESPN College GameDay's 30th anniversary.","The other side identifies the sign creators as both JMU alumni and parents to a student at the University of Auburn.","Refers to the viral Tik Tok motivational catchphrase \"Never back down. Never What? Never give up\" made popular by Nick Eh 30, an online streamer. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog his muscles.","Refers to the JMU tradition of holding the door for others when entering and exiting a building.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a comparison of the University of Michigan and JMU football teams and concludes that the NCAA does not make sense. Michigan's head football coach, Jim Harbaugh, is noted as having been twice suspended in 2023 for impermissible recruiting and chating while JMU's coach was not suspended at all. Michigan was involved in a cheating scandal while JMU was not. Despite all of this Michigan was bowl eligible while JMU was not thus the argument that the NCAA  is an illogical entity.","The second side reads \"JMU Duuukes\" which is a common chant among fans.","Festive sign that reads \"Fans For 40 Years - ESPN College GameDay - Go Dukes! - Beat App State.\" Created by Kenny Sothoron ('83) and Rebecca Woodcock Sothoron ('85).","Features a scene from  SpongeBob SquarePants  with Patrick Star and Tattletale Strangler who are both in jail.

Patrick Star/Jim Harbaugh is asking Tattletale Strangler/JMU \"Hey pal, what're you in for?\" referencing Harbaugh's suspension for cheating and presumably JMU's sentence brought down by the NCAA of being bowl ineligible.","Two-sided sign.","One side states that enrolling for a sixth year of college was a wise choice due to ESPN College GameDay visiting campus as well as JMU being superior in all things. Includes \"Everything School\" logo in JMU colors.","Second side uses a turn of phrase regarding dogs and bowls to argue that JMU, whose mascot is a dog, should be eligible to play in a bowl game. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog and a bowl-shaped trophy with a clip-art picture of a peach on it which presumably refers to the Peach Bowl.

With the popularization of social media, online attention from universities have become an easy way to get recognized, and from this, receive opportunities such as GameDay. The strategy for James Madison University was to lay the groundwork throughout their season while also maintaining a strong online presence in order to be considered. The Breeze, James Madison University's school newspaper, posted an article on September 21, 2017 laying out the strategy in place to secure a second year of hosting College GameDay. Part of the university's strategy included ensuring that James Madison University remained undefeated, that Villanova remained undefeated, and that the \"JMU Nation must continue to nag College GameDay on social media.\" Ultimately, James Madison University went on to have the nation's longest winning streak, 17 games, in the lead up to ESPN College GameDay.

While there was conversation happening behind the scenes about James Madison University being that week's possible location, it was a tweet from Lee Fitting, ESPN producer for GameDay, that started public recognition of the school for a possible host for GameDay. His tweet came as a response from a James Madison University account called \"JMU Duke Blawg\" who had been pushing for ESPN GameDay attention. Between Everett Withers' as head football coach and Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique Lee as quarterback, their season was gaining a lot of attention in the lead up to the GameDay picks. The undefeated season for James Madison University and the University of Richmond's winning streak helped make them a strong contender. James Madison University was sitting at a (7-0) undefeated winning streak while the University of Richmond was (5-1) and on a five-game winning streak at the time. ESPN announced on Sunday, October 18, 2015 that James Madison University would host the 2015 College GameDay on Saturday, October 24.","The 2017 choice for GameDay was heavily influenced by online presence from the university and their long winning streak. With the popularization of social media, online attention from universities have become an easy way to get recognized, and from this, receive opportunities such as GameDay. The strategy for James Madison University was to lay the groundwork throughout their season while also maintaining a strong online presence in order to be considered.

On Sunday, October 8, 2017 ESPN officially announced that James Madison University would host GameDay on Saturday, October 14, 2017.","ESPN College GameDay's third visit to Harrisonburg on November 18, 2023 was marked by a record setting crowd of approximately 26,000 people. Additionally, GameDay celebrated its 30th anniversary with its visit to JMU which also included musical performances by the Jonas Brothers and Bailey Zimmerman.","Leading up to GameDay, JMU and the NCAA were embroiled in a bowl game controversy related to JMU's transition period after switching from the Coastal Athletic Association to the Sun Belt Conference in 2021. Per NCAA rules, a two-year transition period is required for teams to fully transition from Division I FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) to Division I FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision). JMU's transition period was in effect from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. While JMU was undefeated and nationally ranked at the time, the NCAA upheld the transition period rule that the football team would not be bowl eligible. Ultimately, JMU was able to play in a bowl game (Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl vs. Air Force, 2023 December 23) since there were not enough six-win teams to fill all the bowl game slots.","Wooden dowels, PVC pipes, and other yard sticks were removed from signs. Given the usage of mixed media (glitter, ribbons, paint, etc.) in their creation, the posters were interfiled with acid-free paper. Several of the physical posters exhibit smearing due to water exposure and warping as well as color loss and image degradation.","The 2015 and 2017 posters were digitized in October 2022 by graduate assistants Mariam Ismail and Kayleigh Bishop using a Nikon D3300 digital camera with a 18-55 mm lens. Bodeene Amyot Cairdeas, digital and audiovisual archivist, edited the digital files to address the following issues: color, exposure, and lens correction, distortion, and chromatic aberration. Tiffany Cole, archivist, uploaded the edited files and respective metadata into JSTOR Forum/Artstor in December 2022.","The ESPN College GameDay Posters consist of 70 posters created for the 2015, 2017, and 2023 ESPN College GameDay braodcasts held on the campus of James Madison University. Two of the posters were made for the 2015 ESPN College GameDay against the Richmond Spiders. Fourteen of the posters were created for the 2017 ESPN College GameDay against the Villanova Wildcats. Fifty-four posters document the 2023 ESPN College GameDay against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. ","Internet memes, defined as humorous images online that are often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations, are used throughout the posters and represent the cultural references of the period and sometimes inside jokes from students at James Madison University directed at the opposing team. The signs also frequently draw on pop culture references and poke fun at the opposing team and their fanbase. ","The 2015 GameDay posters focus on James Madison University's quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique  Lee, implying he will lead them to victory. Vad Lee had a strong season in 2014 by taking James Madison University to the FCS playoffs and led a strong 2015 season leading up to the Richmond game, season statistics were (7-0; 4-0) at this point in the season. These posters center on Vad's leadership skills as quarterback and cheer him on through various pop culture references from 2015.","The poster is a play on words from George Thorogood's song \"Bad to the Bone\" to cheer on James Madison University's 2015 quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique  Lee.","The poster plays on the popular catchphrase \"Hulk smash\" and depicts 2015 quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique Lee, as smashing the Richmond's mascot WebstUR the spider. The quote \"Hulk smash\" was made popular from a series of Marvel movies wherein the comic book character the hulk proclaims \"HULK SMASH\" before smashing something. While also popular from the comics themselves, the phrase made its way into pop culture references after Marvel began releasing movies with the Hulk often quoting the phrase in them. The poster references how the James Madison University quarterback is going to smash the Villanova football team. ","Poster is signed by Jonathan \"Jon\" Alger, the President of James Madison University, Matt Brady, and Samantha \"Sam\" Ponder.","The 2017 GameDay posters primarily focus on James Madison University's strength as a team, and school, over Villanova. Using viral internet images popular in 2017, they center on the inferiority of the Villanova team when being compared to James Madison University. These viral images, often called memes, are variously displaying James Madison University's \"superior taste\" in all regards. Calling attention to Villanova's cost of tuition and low football game attendance rates, the majority of the posters purport that James Madison University will defeat them. One poster references an inside joke to James Madison University students about how Villanova will lose the football game because they are not fans of the correct condiment. There are some posters that center less on the animosity of the two teams and instead are saying hello to friends and family.","The poster revises the common saying \"don't bring a knife to a gunfight,\" popularized by the 1987 film \"The Untouchables,\" to display the superiority of James Madison University's mascot, the Duke Dog, over Villanova's own Will D. Cat, the wildcat. The poster is meant to imply that not only are dogs better than cats but that James Madison University will perform better than Villanova's team.","The poster follows a popularized internet format, commonly called a meme, to depict how James Madison University is better than Villanova. The image is commonly known as the \"You vs. the guy meme\" and is meant to be used to show how one guy is superior to another. The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.","The poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.","The poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog. The implication is that Villanova's football team will lose because they, like their mascot, are not threatening enough to beat James Madison University.","The poster discusses James Madison University's high attendance to football games. Villanova's 2017 season had low attendance rates, 5,649 average for their home team attendance. James Madison University's 2017 home team attendance is averaged around 21,724. The ESPN GameDay estimated attendance was around 14,000 people. The poster uses these statistics to show the support for James Madison University over Villanova and their hopes that this will impact the outcome of the game.","The poster uses yum-yum sauce, a Japanese steakhouse mayonnaise sauce, to undermine Villanova. Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay. ","While popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus. It was removed from D-hall after a few years and is now remembered fondly by those students who were on campus at the time.","The full poster details the specific costs of attending Villanova in 2017. It lists out the prices of tuition and fees, $49,430, room and board, $13,093, and books and miscellaneous items, $3,400. These prices are all added up and the total is stated as \"1 a$$ kicking from JMU.\" The poster is discussing how Villanova's high cost to attend is not reflected in their ability to beat James Madison University at football. The poster is detailing not only James Madison University's lower cost of attendance but is attempting to explain how money at a university does not translate to techinical abilities on the field.","The poster functions as a gesture from a student to their parents during GameDay weekend. With GameDay being broadcast on ESPN, this poster is a way for a student to show their family where they are on the broadcast and say hello to them from the crowd.","The poster features James Madison University's colors of gold and purple with the university letters surrounded by hearts. The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster states how James Madison's successful season, 17 straight wins at this point in 2017, will lead to a victory over the Villanova team. The statement of \"it's OVA\" is a reference to a common phrase about something already being done. The connotation here is that it is already over for Villanova and James Madison University will win. ","The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster uses a popular internet graphic from the 2010s to depict how former James Madison University head coach, Everett Withers is regretting his decision to leave and coach at Texas State University. ","An internet meme is a humorous image online that is often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations. The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl. Traditionally, the meme is used to show how someone is disloyal or regretting a choice they have made. The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.","The poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. ","Additionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it. This is likely a message from a student to their family. Knowing that GameDay will be streaming on ESPN, it would have served as a way for their family to see them on TV and say \"hey\" from the large GameDay crowd. ","The poster is in reference to a comment by Cam Newton, then Carolina Panthers quarterback, to reporter Jourdan Rodrigue on October 4, 2017. In response to her question about running routes with wide receiver Devin Funchess, Cam Newton responded \"it's funny to hear a female talk about routes.\" This poster references said comment and undermines Newton's comment about women. The poster has an unknown signature on it.","The poster uses a pop culture reference to a popular children's television show to display how bad of a team Villanova is. Referencing the popular show Spongebob Squarepants, the poster is meant to show Villanova's distasteful nature in their choice of restaurant from the show. Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students. It is also inferred that due to their restaurant choice Villanova will lose the game because they have inferior restaurant tastes compared to James Madison University. ","The poster has an unknown signature.","The poster uses a popular image from \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\" film to represent the superiority of James Madison University's football team over Villanova's. Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other. The poster adds the university logos to each ghost character to further this point of James Madison University being better sports team than Villanova.","Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture.","Sign reads \"Joe Jonas I'm Single (also go dukes)\" and is in reference to Joe Jonas's recent separation from Sophie Turner. Created by Olivia Lewis ('23).","The sign suggests that JMU will easily defeat Appalachian State, whose mascot is Yosef the Mountaineer. The hashtag #everythingschool is also included which refers to the JMU's success in numerous sports during the fall of 2023 including football, men's basketball, and women's soccer. While some colleges and universities are historically known to be a \"football school\" or a \"basketball school\", JMU conversely was colloquially recognized as an \"everything school\" by excelling in all things.","Sign includes purple and gold paw prints and a hand-drawn barking Duke Dog. Created by Lydia Endersby ('23).","The sign reimagines a line from the song \"Munch (Feelin' U)\" by Ice Spice, released in 2023, and presumably refers to Kevin Jonas. Created by Laine Kelly ('25).","Two-sided sign.","The primary side features the Duke Dog standing on the top of a mountain peak saying \"Roll Dukes\" while Yosef the Mountaineer, the Appalachian State mascot, rolls down on a boulder to the base of the mountain to join the other opponents JMU defeated earlier in the season.","The opposite side requests that Nick Jonas show his Dexcom device, a continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes management, and the sign-holder will show him theirs. Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13.","The sign refers to ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit's Golden Retriever named Ben who frequently accompanied Herbstreit on his trips to call and analyze football games. Ben was in attendance at JMU's College GameDay.","The NCAA's ruling that JMU was ineligible to play in a bowl game because of their two-year transition period from FCS to FBS demonstrates the NCAA's hatred for puppies. The sign features a picture of a crying Duke Dog.","Demands of the NCAA to let JMU play in a bowl game and invokes the Jonas Brothers by using a play on the popular phrase \"What Would Jesus Do?\"","A sign presumably created for a two-year-old JMU fan and future Duke.","Features the Duke Dog trash talking Appalachian State by making a pun about their mascot Yosef.","Two-sided sign.","One side accuses Applachian State of having pubic lice. Includes the hashtag #RollMotherF*ckingDukes. The creator of the sign was dressed in a crab suit during GameDay.","The second side features a map of Virginia (labeled JMU) and North Carolina (labeled App State) using it as rationale for Appalachian State being inferior to JMU.","During a November 13, 2023 press conference, Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team, referred to his team as \"America's team.\" The sign offers a counterpoint, asserting that JMU is actually America's team. Created by John Bowen Jr. ('04).","Two-sided sign.","One side features a play on words using the Sun Belt Conference, of which JMU became a member in 2022, and the phrase \"fly too close to the sun\" which refers to the story of Icarus in Greek mythology.","The second side requests information on Joe Jonas's impending divorce from actress Sophie Turner and follows up with the parenthetical question \"Marry Me??\"","The sign demonstrates fandom for JMU through the practice of sharing one's pronouns. Includes a graphic of the Duke Dog riding on a flying bald eagle.","The sign uses the lyrics of the Jonas Brothers song \"Sucker\" to convey the similarities and closeness between JMU and the band. Each of the Jonas Brothers' faces is superimposed on a bowling pin referring to the NCAA bowl eligibility controversy.","Accuses Desmond Howard of stealing Kirk Herbstreit's talking points for ESPN College GameDay. Both are analysts on the college football pre-game show. The sign may also allude to the University of Michigan sign-stealing controversy of 2023 given that Desmond Howard played college football at Michigan.","Features purple and gold \"JMU\" in bubble letters.","Features an image of Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift taken on the night of September 19, 2023 while the two were out in New York City. Also includes the hashtag #TeamSophie and select lyrics from Swift's song \"Vigilante Shit.\" The sign is an obvious reference to Turner's recent separation from Joe Jonas.","Comments on the success of JMU's football team by making reference to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Burnin' Up.\"","Two-sided sign.","One side declares that JMU (hot) is superior to App State (not).","The second side encourages people to support libraries.","Two-sided sign. Both sides are identical.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Demands of the NCAA to allow JMU play in a bowl game.","The sign predicts JMU will have a record of 11-0 after their game against Appalachian State, presuming a victory over the Mountaineers. Also includes the slogan made popular by Apple in 2009 claiming that there is an application for everything.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","Crossword-style graphic and includes image of embarrassed Duke Dog and football helmet.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Also includes the hashtag #letjmubowl.","James Madison is universally acknowledged as the Father of the Constitution due to his instrumental role in drafting the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. The sign argues that James Madison is also the father of football, a claim likely made due to JMU's dominance in football. Includes drawing of the American flag and the Duke Dog holding a copy of the Bill of Rights with the amendment \"JMU shall bowl.\"","Quotes the Preamble of the Constitution to convince the NCAA to allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Includes image of James Madison wearing sunglasses and bowling pins labeled with each of JMU's opponents up until that point in the 2023 season. Created by Maddy Brendel ('27).","Refers to the two-year transition period the NCAA requires of teams that join new conferences before they're allowed to play in the postseason. Includes each teams' win percentage since 2022 when JMU formally joined the Sun Belt Conference. JMU had an 86% win percentage while Appalachian State's win percentage was 55%.","Demands that the NCAA allow JMU to play in a bowl game by touting the team's undefeated record. Other imagery identifies Appalachian State as losers while JMU are winners.","Printed sign features official JMU letters and an artifical intelligence (AI)-generated Duke Dog with a fierce facial expression and a crown.","Printed sign features JMU logo (Duke Dog on top of JMU letters) with the phrases \"Duke Dog's Ready to Pound\" and \"Welcome to Our House!\"","Accuses Appalachian State fans of urinating while standing and therefore being weak or effeminate or any number of other presumed insults associated with that manner of using the bathroom. The attack is likely targeted at men fans who would otherwise stand while they urinate. The word \"Pee\" is in yellow letters.","Four-sided laminated sign.","1. \"Who Let the Dukes Out???\" is a reinterpretation of the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" The song has historically been associated with sporting events.","2. \"I'm a Sucker for (JM)U\" uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","3. \"JMU = Virginia's School\" asserts that JMU is the flagship university in the state, not Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, William \u0026 Mary, or others.","4. \"We Want the Jonas Bros to Stay at JMU Until the Year 3,000?\" refers to the Jonas Brothers' 2006 song \"Year 3000.\"","Creator included initials and date to each side -  \"KEL 2023.\"","Features a game prediction alongside graphic of Baby Yoda (aka Grogu).

A 10-0 record is crossed out and replaced with an 11-0 record which presumes JMU will beat Appalachian State. The typical concept of girl math is a humorous way of rationalizing extravagent, unnecessary, or impulsive purchases.","Pair of complementary signs each shaped like a foot.","The left foot sign reads \"Our Dawgs Are Barkin'\" which is a common saying when someone's feet are hurt. It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","The right foot sign reads \"Let the Dawgs Out\" is a reference to the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a scene from the television show  The Office  in which a younger Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, is shaking hands with his then boss Ed Truck, played by Ken Howard. The handshake meme is typically used to illustrate commonalities between two entities. In this case, the act of consistently making horrible decisions and the NCAA are shaking hands and are therefore in solidarity. This refers to the NCAA's decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","The second side is a black-and-white swirl optical illusion.","Images from the 2012 U.S. Open bowling tournament during which professional bowler Pete Weber bowled a strike during the final frame and subsequently won the tournament. Famously, Weber launched into a celebratory fit and yelled the incoherent phrase \"Who do you think you are? I am!\" This illogical celebration became a popular internet meme.","One image features Weber in his bowling stance. The NCAA logo is superimposed onto Weber and the JMU logo is superimposed onto Weber's bowling ball. The second image shows Weber's celebration with Curt Cignett's face superimposed onto Weber's face.  ","Includes the hashtag #letusbowl.","Two-sided sign.","One side has a congratulatory theme due to ESPN College GameDay's 30th anniversary.","The other side identifies the sign creators as both JMU alumni and parents to a student at the University of Auburn.","Refers to the viral Tik Tok motivational catchphrase \"Never back down. Never What? Never give up\" made popular by Nick Eh 30, an online streamer. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog his muscles.","Refers to the JMU tradition of holding the door for others when entering and exiting a building.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a comparison of the University of Michigan and JMU football teams and concludes that the NCAA does not make sense. Michigan's head football coach, Jim Harbaugh, is noted as having been twice suspended in 2023 for impermissible recruiting and chating while JMU's coach was not suspended at all. Michigan was involved in a cheating scandal while JMU was not. Despite all of this Michigan was bowl eligible while JMU was not thus the argument that the NCAA  is an illogical entity.","The second side reads \"JMU Duuukes\" which is a common chant among fans.","Festive sign that reads \"Fans For 40 Years - ESPN College GameDay - Go Dukes! - Beat App State.\" Created by Kenny Sothoron ('83) and Rebecca Woodcock Sothoron ('85).","Features a scene from  SpongeBob SquarePants  with Patrick Star and Tattletale Strangler who are both in jail. Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh's head is superimposed onto Patrick Star and the Duke Dog-JMU logo is superimposed on Tattletale Strangler. Patrick Star/Jim Harbaugh is asking Tattletale Strangler/JMU \"Hey pal, what're you in for?\" referencing Harbaugh's suspension for cheating and presumably JMU's sentence brought down by the NCAA of being bowl ineligible.","Two-sided sign.","One side states that enrolling for a sixth year of college was a wise choice due to ESPN College GameDay visiting campus as well as JMU being superior in all things. Includes \"Everything School\" logo in JMU colors.","Second side uses a turn of phrase regarding dogs and bowls to argue that JMU, whose mascot is a dog, should be eligible to play in a bowl game. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog and a bowl-shaped trophy with a clip-art picture of a peach on it which presumably refers to the Peach Bowl.

Using viral internet images popular in 2017, they center on the inferiority of the Villanova team when being compared to James Madison University. These viral images, often called memes, are variously displaying James Madison University's \"superior taste\" in all regards. Calling attention to Villanova's cost of tuition and low football game attendance rates, the majority of the posters purport that James Madison University will defeat them. One poster references an inside joke to James Madison University students about how Villanova will lose the football game because they are not fans of the correct condiment.

The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog. The implication is that Villanova's football team will lose because they, like their mascot, are not threatening enough to beat James Madison University.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster discusses James Madison University's high attendance to football games. Villanova's 2017 season had low attendance rates, 5,649 average for their home team attendance. James Madison University's 2017 home team attendance is averaged around 21,724. The ESPN GameDay estimated attendance was around 14,000 people.

Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWhile popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus.

It lists out the prices of tuition and fees, $49,430, room and board, $13,093, and books and miscellaneous items, $3,400. These prices are all added up and the total is stated as \"1 a$$ kicking from JMU.\" The poster is discussing how Villanova's high cost to attend is not reflected in their ability to beat James Madison University at football. The poster is detailing not only James Madison University's lower cost of attendance but is attempting to explain how money at a university does not translate to techinical abilities on the field.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster functions as a gesture from a student to their parents during GameDay weekend.

The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl.

The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay.

Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students. It is also inferred that due to their restaurant choice Villanova will lose the game because they have inferior restaurant tastes compared to James Madison University. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe poster has an unknown signature.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster uses a popular image from \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\" film to represent the superiority of James Madison University's football team over Villanova's. Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other.

The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.","The poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog. The implication is that Villanova's football team will lose because they, like their mascot, are not threatening enough to beat James Madison University.","The poster discusses James Madison University's high attendance to football games. Villanova's 2017 season had low attendance rates, 5,649 average for their home team attendance. James Madison University's 2017 home team attendance is averaged around 21,724. The ESPN GameDay estimated attendance was around 14,000 people. The poster uses these statistics to show the support for James Madison University over Villanova and their hopes that this will impact the outcome of the game.","The poster uses yum-yum sauce, a Japanese steakhouse mayonnaise sauce, to undermine Villanova. Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay. ","While popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus. It was removed from D-hall after a few years and is now remembered fondly by those students who were on campus at the time.","The full poster details the specific costs of attending Villanova in 2017. It lists out the prices of tuition and fees, $49,430, room and board, $13,093, and books and miscellaneous items, $3,400. These prices are all added up and the total is stated as \"1 a$$ kicking from JMU.\" The poster is discussing how Villanova's high cost to attend is not reflected in their ability to beat James Madison University at football. The poster is detailing not only James Madison University's lower cost of attendance but is attempting to explain how money at a university does not translate to techinical abilities on the field.","The poster functions as a gesture from a student to their parents during GameDay weekend. With GameDay being broadcast on ESPN, this poster is a way for a student to show their family where they are on the broadcast and say hello to them from the crowd.","The poster features James Madison University's colors of gold and purple with the university letters surrounded by hearts. The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster states how James Madison's successful season, 17 straight wins at this point in 2017, will lead to a victory over the Villanova team. The statement of \"it's OVA\" is a reference to a common phrase about something already being done. The connotation here is that it is already over for Villanova and James Madison University will win. ","The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster uses a popular internet graphic from the 2010s to depict how former James Madison University head coach, Everett Withers is regretting his decision to leave and coach at Texas State University. ","An internet meme is a humorous image online that is often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations. The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl. Traditionally, the meme is used to show how someone is disloyal or regretting a choice they have made. The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.","The poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. ","Additionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it. This is likely a message from a student to their family. Knowing that GameDay will be streaming on ESPN, it would have served as a way for their family to see them on TV and say \"hey\" from the large GameDay crowd. ","The poster is in reference to a comment by Cam Newton, then Carolina Panthers quarterback, to reporter Jourdan Rodrigue on October 4, 2017. In response to her question about running routes with wide receiver Devin Funchess, Cam Newton responded \"it's funny to hear a female talk about routes.\" This poster references said comment and undermines Newton's comment about women. The poster has an unknown signature on it.","The poster uses a pop culture reference to a popular children's television show to display how bad of a team Villanova is. Referencing the popular show Spongebob Squarepants, the poster is meant to show Villanova's distasteful nature in their choice of restaurant from the show. Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students. It is also inferred that due to their restaurant choice Villanova will lose the game because they have inferior restaurant tastes compared to James Madison University. ","The poster has an unknown signature.","The poster uses a popular image from \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\" film to represent the superiority of James Madison University's football team over Villanova's. Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other. The poster adds the university logos to each ghost character to further this point of James Madison University being better sports team than Villanova.","Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture.","Sign reads \"Joe Jonas I'm Single (also go dukes)\" and is in reference to Joe Jonas's recent separation from Sophie Turner. Created by Olivia Lewis ('23).","The sign suggests that JMU will easily defeat Appalachian State, whose mascot is Yosef the Mountaineer. The hashtag #everythingschool is also included which refers to the JMU's success in numerous sports during the fall of 2023 including football, men's basketball, and women's soccer. While some colleges and universities are historically known to be a \"football school\" or a \"basketball school\", JMU conversely was colloquially recognized as an \"everything school\" by excelling in all things.","Sign includes purple and gold paw prints and a hand-drawn barking Duke Dog. Created by Lydia Endersby ('23).","The sign reimagines a line from the song \"Munch (Feelin' U)\" by Ice Spice, released in 2023, and presumably refers to Kevin Jonas. Created by Laine Kelly ('25).","Two-sided sign.","The primary side features the Duke Dog standing on the top of a mountain peak saying \"Roll Dukes\" while Yosef the Mountaineer, the Appalachian State mascot, rolls down on a boulder to the base of the mountain to join the other opponents JMU defeated earlier in the season.","The opposite side requests that Nick Jonas show his Dexcom device, a continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes management, and the sign-holder will show him theirs. Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13.","The sign refers to ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit's Golden Retriever named Ben who frequently accompanied Herbstreit on his trips to call and analyze football games. Ben was in attendance at JMU's College GameDay.","The NCAA's ruling that JMU was ineligible to play in a bowl game because of their two-year transition period from FCS to FBS demonstrates the NCAA's hatred for puppies. The sign features a picture of a crying Duke Dog.","Demands of the NCAA to let JMU play in a bowl game and invokes the Jonas Brothers by using a play on the popular phrase \"What Would Jesus Do?\"","A sign presumably created for a two-year-old JMU fan and future Duke.","Features the Duke Dog trash talking Appalachian State by making a pun about their mascot Yosef.","Two-sided sign.","One side accuses Applachian State of having pubic lice. Includes the hashtag #RollMotherF*ckingDukes. The creator of the sign was dressed in a crab suit during GameDay.","The second side features a map of Virginia (labeled JMU) and North Carolina (labeled App State) using it as rationale for Appalachian State being inferior to JMU.","During a November 13, 2023 press conference, Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team, referred to his team as \"America's team.\" The sign offers a counterpoint, asserting that JMU is actually America's team. Created by John Bowen Jr. ('04).","Two-sided sign.","One side features a play on words using the Sun Belt Conference, of which JMU became a member in 2022, and the phrase \"fly too close to the sun\" which refers to the story of Icarus in Greek mythology.","The second side requests information on Joe Jonas's impending divorce from actress Sophie Turner and follows up with the parenthetical question \"Marry Me??\"","The sign demonstrates fandom for JMU through the practice of sharing one's pronouns. Includes a graphic of the Duke Dog riding on a flying bald eagle.","The sign uses the lyrics of the Jonas Brothers song \"Sucker\" to convey the similarities and closeness between JMU and the band. Each of the Jonas Brothers' faces is superimposed on a bowling pin referring to the NCAA bowl eligibility controversy.","Accuses Desmond Howard of stealing Kirk Herbstreit's talking points for ESPN College GameDay. Both are analysts on the college football pre-game show. The sign may also allude to the University of Michigan sign-stealing controversy of 2023 given that Desmond Howard played college football at Michigan.","Features purple and gold \"JMU\" in bubble letters.","Features an image of Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift taken on the night of September 19, 2023 while the two were out in New York City. Also includes the hashtag #TeamSophie and select lyrics from Swift's song \"Vigilante Shit.\" The sign is an obvious reference to Turner's recent separation from Joe Jonas.","Comments on the success of JMU's football team by making reference to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Burnin' Up.\"","Two-sided sign.","One side declares that JMU (hot) is superior to App State (not).","The second side encourages people to support libraries.","Two-sided sign. Both sides are identical.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Demands of the NCAA to allow JMU play in a bowl game.","The sign predicts JMU will have a record of 11-0 after their game against Appalachian State, presuming a victory over the Mountaineers. Also includes the slogan made popular by Apple in 2009 claiming that there is an application for everything.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","Crossword-style graphic and includes image of embarrassed Duke Dog and football helmet.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Also includes the hashtag #letjmubowl.","James Madison is universally acknowledged as the Father of the Constitution due to his instrumental role in drafting the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. The sign argues that James Madison is also the father of football, a claim likely made due to JMU's dominance in football. Includes drawing of the American flag and the Duke Dog holding a copy of the Bill of Rights with the amendment \"JMU shall bowl.\"","Quotes the Preamble of the Constitution to convince the NCAA to allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Includes image of James Madison wearing sunglasses and bowling pins labeled with each of JMU's opponents up until that point in the 2023 season. Created by Maddy Brendel ('27).","Refers to the two-year transition period the NCAA requires of teams that join new conferences before they're allowed to play in the postseason. Includes each teams' win percentage since 2022 when JMU formally joined the Sun Belt Conference. JMU had an 86% win percentage while Appalachian State's win percentage was 55%.","Demands that the NCAA allow JMU to play in a bowl game by touting the team's undefeated record. Other imagery identifies Appalachian State as losers while JMU are winners.","Printed sign features official JMU letters and an artifical intelligence (AI)-generated Duke Dog with a fierce facial expression and a crown.","Printed sign features JMU logo (Duke Dog on top of JMU letters) with the phrases \"Duke Dog's Ready to Pound\" and \"Welcome to Our House!\"","Accuses Appalachian State fans of urinating while standing and therefore being weak or effeminate or any number of other presumed insults associated with that manner of using the bathroom. The attack is likely targeted at men fans who would otherwise stand while they urinate. The word \"Pee\" is in yellow letters.","Four-sided laminated sign.","1. \"Who Let the Dukes Out???\" is a reinterpretation of the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" The song has historically been associated with sporting events.","2. \"I'm a Sucker for (JM)U\" uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","3. \"JMU = Virginia's School\" asserts that JMU is the flagship university in the state, not Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, William \u0026 Mary, or others.","4. \"We Want the Jonas Bros to Stay at JMU Until the Year 3,000?\" refers to the Jonas Brothers' 2006 song \"Year 3000.\"","Creator included initials and date to each side -  \"KEL 2023.\"","Features a game prediction alongside graphic of Baby Yoda (aka Grogu). The prediction uses the object-subject-verb pattern that is typical of Yoda speak.","Features a photoshopped image of Lee Corso, GameDay analyst, wearing a birthday cake hat. ESPN College GameDay formally celebrated its 30th anniversary as part of the festivities at JMU on November 18, 2023. The program first used a traveling broadcast model for its November 13, 1993 show.","Uses the hashtag #letJMUbowl to plead to the NCAA that JMU should be able to play in a post-season bowl game. The Duke Dog is featured holding a football and appears to be running similar to how a football player rushes for yards.","Features image of Count von Count from Sesame Street on a television screen with the numbers 11-0 to signify what would be JMU's record if they beat Appalachian State.","Two-sided sign.","The primary side of the sign includes a quote and scene from the movie  Mean Girls  during which Regina George (JMU), played by Rachel McAdams, insults Cady Heron (Appalachian State), played by Lindsay Lohan.","The other side pleads to Barstool Sports, a digital media company, to hire the creator of the sign who will be a 2024 graduate of the School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD) and claims \"I need a job.\" Includes email address for contact.","Compares the average Appalachian State fan to Pinhead Larry, a character played by Patrick Star from the cartoon television show  Spongebob Squarepants . Pinhead Larry is depicted as a dimwit and only has one tooth.","Includes official NCAA logo with \"Unfair\" underneath referring to the NCAA's decision to deny JMU from playing in a bowl game. Created by Riley Isakower ('22).","Crossword-style graphic asserting that JMU should be eligible to play in a bowl game with JMU-Duke Dog logo.","Invokes the popular internet meme \"girl math\" by using the equation that JMU plus an 11-0 record equals (or should equal) a bowl game. A 10-0 record is crossed out and replaced with an 11-0 record which presumes JMU will beat Appalachian State. The typical concept of girl math is a humorous way of rationalizing extravagent, unnecessary, or impulsive purchases.","Pair of complementary signs each shaped like a foot.","The left foot sign reads \"Our Dawgs Are Barkin'\" which is a common saying when someone's feet are hurt. It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","The right foot sign reads \"Let the Dawgs Out\" is a reference to the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a scene from the television show  The Office  in which a younger Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, is shaking hands with his then boss Ed Truck, played by Ken Howard. The handshake meme is typically used to illustrate commonalities between two entities. In this case, the act of consistently making horrible decisions and the NCAA are shaking hands and are therefore in solidarity. This refers to the NCAA's decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","The second side is a black-and-white swirl optical illusion.","Images from the 2012 U.S. Open bowling tournament during which professional bowler Pete Weber bowled a strike during the final frame and subsequently won the tournament. Famously, Weber launched into a celebratory fit and yelled the incoherent phrase \"Who do you think you are? I am!\" This illogical celebration became a popular internet meme.","One image features Weber in his bowling stance. The NCAA logo is superimposed onto Weber and the JMU logo is superimposed onto Weber's bowling ball. The second image shows Weber's celebration with Curt Cignett's face superimposed onto Weber's face.  ","Includes the hashtag #letusbowl.","Two-sided sign.","One side has a congratulatory theme due to ESPN College GameDay's 30th anniversary.","The other side identifies the sign creators as both JMU alumni and parents to a student at the University of Auburn.","Refers to the viral Tik Tok motivational catchphrase \"Never back down. Never What? Never give up\" made popular by Nick Eh 30, an online streamer. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog his muscles.","Refers to the JMU tradition of holding the door for others when entering and exiting a building.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a comparison of the University of Michigan and JMU football teams and concludes that the NCAA does not make sense. Michigan's head football coach, Jim Harbaugh, is noted as having been twice suspended in 2023 for impermissible recruiting and chating while JMU's coach was not suspended at all. Michigan was involved in a cheating scandal while JMU was not. Despite all of this Michigan was bowl eligible while JMU was not thus the argument that the NCAA  is an illogical entity.","The second side reads \"JMU Duuukes\" which is a common chant among fans.","Festive sign that reads \"Fans For 40 Years - ESPN College GameDay - Go Dukes! - Beat App State.\" Created by Kenny Sothoron ('83) and Rebecca Woodcock Sothoron ('85).","Features a scene from  SpongeBob SquarePants  with Patrick Star and Tattletale Strangler who are both in jail.

Includes \"Everything School\" logo in JMU colors.","Second side uses a turn of phrase regarding dogs and bowls to argue that JMU, whose mascot is a dog, should be eligible to play in a bowl game. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog and a bowl-shaped trophy with a clip-art picture of a peach on it which presumably refers to the Peach Bowl.

Per NCAA rules, a two-year transition period is required for teams to fully transition from Division I FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) to Division I FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision). JMU's transition period was in effect from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. While JMU was undefeated and nationally ranked at the time, the NCAA upheld the transition period rule that the football team would not be bowl eligible. Ultimately, JMU was able to play in a bowl game (Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl vs. Air Force, 2023 December 23) since there were not enough six-win teams to fill all the bowl game slots.","Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture."],"title_filing_ssi":"2023 vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers","title_ssm":["2023 vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers"],"title_tesim":["2023 vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers"],"unitdate_other_ssim":["2023 November 18"],"normalized_date_ssm":["2023"],"normalized_title_ssm":["2023 vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers"],"component_level_isim":[1],"repository_ssim":["James Madison University"],"collection_ssim":["ESPN College GameDay posters"],"extent_ssm":["54 posters"],"extent_tesim":["54 posters"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"child_component_count_isi":54,"level_ssm":["Subgroup"],"level_ssim":["Subgroup"],"sort_isi":19,"parent_access_restrict_tesm":["Collection is open for research.

While there was conversation happening behind the scenes about James Madison University being that week's possible location, it was a tweet from Lee Fitting, ESPN producer for GameDay, that started public recognition of the school for a possible host for GameDay. His tweet came as a response from a James Madison University account called \"JMU Duke Blawg\" who had been pushing for ESPN GameDay attention. Between Everett Withers' as head football coach and Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique Lee as quarterback, their season was gaining a lot of attention in the lead up to the GameDay picks. The undefeated season for James Madison University and the University of Richmond's winning streak helped make them a strong contender. James Madison University was sitting at a (7-0) undefeated winning streak while the University of Richmond was (5-1) and on a five-game winning streak at the time. ESPN announced on Sunday, October 18, 2015 that James Madison University would host the 2015 College GameDay on Saturday, October 24.","The 2017 choice for GameDay was heavily influenced by online presence from the university and their long winning streak. With the popularization of social media, online attention from universities have become an easy way to get recognized, and from this, receive opportunities such as GameDay. The strategy for James Madison University was to lay the groundwork throughout their season while also maintaining a strong online presence in order to be considered. The Breeze, James Madison University's school newspaper, posted an article on September 21, 2017 laying out the strategy in place to secure a second year of hosting College GameDay. Part of the university's strategy included ensuring that James Madison University remained undefeated, that Villanova remained undefeated, and that the \"JMU Nation must continue to nag College GameDay on social media.\" Ultimately, James Madison University went on to have the nation's longest winning streak, 17 games, in the lead up to ESPN College GameDay. On Sunday, October 8, 2017 ESPN officially announced that James Madison University would host GameDay on Saturday, October 14, 2017.","ESPN College GameDay's third visit to Harrisonburg on November 18, 2023 was marked by a record setting crowd of approximately 26,000 people. Additionally, GameDay celebrated its 30th anniversary with its visit to JMU which also included musical performances by the Jonas Brothers and Bailey Zimmerman.","Leading up to GameDay, JMU and the NCAA were embroiled in a bowl game controversy related to JMU's transition period after switching from the Coastal Athletic Association to the Sun Belt Conference in 2021.

Given the usage of mixed media (glitter, ribbons, paint, etc.) in their creation, the posters were interfiled with acid-free paper. Several of the physical posters exhibit smearing due to water exposure and warping as well as color loss and image degradation.","The 2015 and 2017 posters were digitized in October 2022 by graduate assistants Mariam Ismail and Kayleigh Bishop using a Nikon D3300 digital camera with a 18-55 mm lens. Bodeene Amyot Cairdeas, digital and audiovisual archivist, edited the digital files to address the following issues: color, exposure, and lens correction, distortion, and chromatic aberration. Tiffany Cole, archivist, uploaded the edited files and respective metadata into JSTOR Forum/Artstor in December 2022.","The ESPN College GameDay Posters consist of 70 posters created for the 2015, 2017, and 2023 ESPN College GameDay braodcasts held on the campus of James Madison University. Two of the posters were made for the 2015 ESPN College GameDay against the Richmond Spiders. Fourteen of the posters were created for the 2017 ESPN College GameDay against the Villanova Wildcats. Fifty-four posters document the 2023 ESPN College GameDay against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. ","Internet memes, defined as humorous images online that are often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations, are used throughout the posters and represent the cultural references of the period and sometimes inside jokes from students at James Madison University directed at the opposing team. The signs also frequently draw on pop culture references and poke fun at the opposing team and their fanbase. ","The 2015 GameDay posters focus on James Madison University's quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique  Lee, implying he will lead them to victory. Vad Lee had a strong season in 2014 by taking James Madison University to the FCS playoffs and led a strong 2015 season leading up to the Richmond game, season statistics were (7-0; 4-0) at this point in the season. These posters center on Vad's leadership skills as quarterback and cheer him on through various pop culture references from 2015.","The poster is a play on words from George Thorogood's song \"Bad to the Bone\" to cheer on James Madison University's 2015 quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique  Lee.","The poster plays on the popular catchphrase \"Hulk smash\" and depicts 2015 quarterback, Lavaedeay \"Vad\" Monlique Lee, as smashing the Richmond's mascot WebstUR the spider. The quote \"Hulk smash\" was made popular from a series of Marvel movies wherein the comic book character the hulk proclaims \"HULK SMASH\" before smashing something. While also popular from the comics themselves, the phrase made its way into pop culture references after Marvel began releasing movies with the Hulk often quoting the phrase in them. The poster references how the James Madison University quarterback is going to smash the Villanova football team. ","Poster is signed by Jonathan \"Jon\" Alger, the President of James Madison University, Matt Brady, and Samantha \"Sam\" Ponder.","The 2017 GameDay posters primarily focus on James Madison University's strength as a team, and school, over Villanova. Using viral internet images popular in 2017, they center on the inferiority of the Villanova team when being compared to James Madison University. These viral images, often called memes, are variously displaying James Madison University's \"superior taste\" in all regards. Calling attention to Villanova's cost of tuition and low football game attendance rates, the majority of the posters purport that James Madison University will defeat them. One poster references an inside joke to James Madison University students about how Villanova will lose the football game because they are not fans of the correct condiment. There are some posters that center less on the animosity of the two teams and instead are saying hello to friends and family.","The poster revises the common saying \"don't bring a knife to a gunfight,\" popularized by the 1987 film \"The Untouchables,\" to display the superiority of James Madison University's mascot, the Duke Dog, over Villanova's own Will D. Cat, the wildcat. The poster is meant to imply that not only are dogs better than cats but that James Madison University will perform better than Villanova's team.","The poster follows a popularized internet format, commonly called a meme, to depict how James Madison University is better than Villanova. The image is commonly known as the \"You vs. the guy meme\" and is meant to be used to show how one guy is superior to another. The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.","The poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.","The poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog. The implication is that Villanova's football team will lose because they, like their mascot, are not threatening enough to beat James Madison University.","The poster discusses James Madison University's high attendance to football games. Villanova's 2017 season had low attendance rates, 5,649 average for their home team attendance. James Madison University's 2017 home team attendance is averaged around 21,724. The ESPN GameDay estimated attendance was around 14,000 people. The poster uses these statistics to show the support for James Madison University over Villanova and their hopes that this will impact the outcome of the game.","The poster uses yum-yum sauce, a Japanese steakhouse mayonnaise sauce, to undermine Villanova. Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay. ","While popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus. It was removed from D-hall after a few years and is now remembered fondly by those students who were on campus at the time.","The full poster details the specific costs of attending Villanova in 2017. It lists out the prices of tuition and fees, $49,430, room and board, $13,093, and books and miscellaneous items, $3,400. These prices are all added up and the total is stated as \"1 a$$ kicking from JMU.\" The poster is discussing how Villanova's high cost to attend is not reflected in their ability to beat James Madison University at football. The poster is detailing not only James Madison University's lower cost of attendance but is attempting to explain how money at a university does not translate to techinical abilities on the field.","The poster functions as a gesture from a student to their parents during GameDay weekend. With GameDay being broadcast on ESPN, this poster is a way for a student to show their family where they are on the broadcast and say hello to them from the crowd.","The poster features James Madison University's colors of gold and purple with the university letters surrounded by hearts. The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster states how James Madison's successful season, 17 straight wins at this point in 2017, will lead to a victory over the Villanova team. The statement of \"it's OVA\" is a reference to a common phrase about something already being done. The connotation here is that it is already over for Villanova and James Madison University will win. ","The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster uses a popular internet graphic from the 2010s to depict how former James Madison University head coach, Everett Withers is regretting his decision to leave and coach at Texas State University. ","An internet meme is a humorous image online that is often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations. The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl. Traditionally, the meme is used to show how someone is disloyal or regretting a choice they have made. The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.","The poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. ","Additionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it. This is likely a message from a student to their family. Knowing that GameDay will be streaming on ESPN, it would have served as a way for their family to see them on TV and say \"hey\" from the large GameDay crowd. ","The poster is in reference to a comment by Cam Newton, then Carolina Panthers quarterback, to reporter Jourdan Rodrigue on October 4, 2017. In response to her question about running routes with wide receiver Devin Funchess, Cam Newton responded \"it's funny to hear a female talk about routes.\" This poster references said comment and undermines Newton's comment about women. The poster has an unknown signature on it.","The poster uses a pop culture reference to a popular children's television show to display how bad of a team Villanova is. Referencing the popular show Spongebob Squarepants, the poster is meant to show Villanova's distasteful nature in their choice of restaurant from the show. Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students. It is also inferred that due to their restaurant choice Villanova will lose the game because they have inferior restaurant tastes compared to James Madison University. ","The poster has an unknown signature.","The poster uses a popular image from \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\" film to represent the superiority of James Madison University's football team over Villanova's. Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other. The poster adds the university logos to each ghost character to further this point of James Madison University being better sports team than Villanova.","Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture.","Sign reads \"Joe Jonas I'm Single (also go dukes)\" and is in reference to Joe Jonas's recent separation from Sophie Turner. Created by Olivia Lewis ('23).","The sign suggests that JMU will easily defeat Appalachian State, whose mascot is Yosef the Mountaineer. The hashtag #everythingschool is also included which refers to the JMU's success in numerous sports during the fall of 2023 including football, men's basketball, and women's soccer. While some colleges and universities are historically known to be a \"football school\" or a \"basketball school\", JMU conversely was colloquially recognized as an \"everything school\" by excelling in all things.","Sign includes purple and gold paw prints and a hand-drawn barking Duke Dog. Created by Lydia Endersby ('23).","The sign reimagines a line from the song \"Munch (Feelin' U)\" by Ice Spice, released in 2023, and presumably refers to Kevin Jonas. Created by Laine Kelly ('25).","Two-sided sign.","The primary side features the Duke Dog standing on the top of a mountain peak saying \"Roll Dukes\" while Yosef the Mountaineer, the Appalachian State mascot, rolls down on a boulder to the base of the mountain to join the other opponents JMU defeated earlier in the season.","The opposite side requests that Nick Jonas show his Dexcom device, a continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes management, and the sign-holder will show him theirs. Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13.","The sign refers to ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit's Golden Retriever named Ben who frequently accompanied Herbstreit on his trips to call and analyze football games. Ben was in attendance at JMU's College GameDay.","The NCAA's ruling that JMU was ineligible to play in a bowl game because of their two-year transition period from FCS to FBS demonstrates the NCAA's hatred for puppies. The sign features a picture of a crying Duke Dog.","Demands of the NCAA to let JMU play in a bowl game and invokes the Jonas Brothers by using a play on the popular phrase \"What Would Jesus Do?\"","A sign presumably created for a two-year-old JMU fan and future Duke.","Features the Duke Dog trash talking Appalachian State by making a pun about their mascot Yosef.","Two-sided sign.","One side accuses Applachian State of having pubic lice. Includes the hashtag #RollMotherF*ckingDukes. The creator of the sign was dressed in a crab suit during GameDay.","The second side features a map of Virginia (labeled JMU) and North Carolina (labeled App State) using it as rationale for Appalachian State being inferior to JMU.","During a November 13, 2023 press conference, Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team, referred to his team as \"America's team.\" The sign offers a counterpoint, asserting that JMU is actually America's team. Created by John Bowen Jr. ('04).","Two-sided sign.","One side features a play on words using the Sun Belt Conference, of which JMU became a member in 2022, and the phrase \"fly too close to the sun\" which refers to the story of Icarus in Greek mythology.","The second side requests information on Joe Jonas's impending divorce from actress Sophie Turner and follows up with the parenthetical question \"Marry Me??\"","The sign demonstrates fandom for JMU through the practice of sharing one's pronouns. Includes a graphic of the Duke Dog riding on a flying bald eagle.","The sign uses the lyrics of the Jonas Brothers song \"Sucker\" to convey the similarities and closeness between JMU and the band. Each of the Jonas Brothers' faces is superimposed on a bowling pin referring to the NCAA bowl eligibility controversy.","Accuses Desmond Howard of stealing Kirk Herbstreit's talking points for ESPN College GameDay. Both are analysts on the college football pre-game show. The sign may also allude to the University of Michigan sign-stealing controversy of 2023 given that Desmond Howard played college football at Michigan.","Features purple and gold \"JMU\" in bubble letters.","Features an image of Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift taken on the night of September 19, 2023 while the two were out in New York City. Also includes the hashtag #TeamSophie and select lyrics from Swift's song \"Vigilante Shit.\" The sign is an obvious reference to Turner's recent separation from Joe Jonas.","Comments on the success of JMU's football team by making reference to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Burnin' Up.\"","Two-sided sign.","One side declares that JMU (hot) is superior to App State (not).","The second side encourages people to support libraries.","Two-sided sign. Both sides are identical.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Demands of the NCAA to allow JMU play in a bowl game.","The sign predicts JMU will have a record of 11-0 after their game against Appalachian State, presuming a victory over the Mountaineers. Also includes the slogan made popular by Apple in 2009 claiming that there is an application for everything.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","Crossword-style graphic and includes image of embarrassed Duke Dog and football helmet.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Also includes the hashtag #letjmubowl.","James Madison is universally acknowledged as the Father of the Constitution due to his instrumental role in drafting the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. The sign argues that James Madison is also the father of football, a claim likely made due to JMU's dominance in football. Includes drawing of the American flag and the Duke Dog holding a copy of the Bill of Rights with the amendment \"JMU shall bowl.\"","Quotes the Preamble of the Constitution to convince the NCAA to allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Includes image of James Madison wearing sunglasses and bowling pins labeled with each of JMU's opponents up until that point in the 2023 season. Created by Maddy Brendel ('27).","Refers to the two-year transition period the NCAA requires of teams that join new conferences before they're allowed to play in the postseason. Includes each teams' win percentage since 2022 when JMU formally joined the Sun Belt Conference. JMU had an 86% win percentage while Appalachian State's win percentage was 55%.","Demands that the NCAA allow JMU to play in a bowl game by touting the team's undefeated record. Other imagery identifies Appalachian State as losers while JMU are winners.","Printed sign features official JMU letters and an artifical intelligence (AI)-generated Duke Dog with a fierce facial expression and a crown.","Printed sign features JMU logo (Duke Dog on top of JMU letters) with the phrases \"Duke Dog's Ready to Pound\" and \"Welcome to Our House!\"","Accuses Appalachian State fans of urinating while standing and therefore being weak or effeminate or any number of other presumed insults associated with that manner of using the bathroom. The attack is likely targeted at men fans who would otherwise stand while they urinate. The word \"Pee\" is in yellow letters.","Four-sided laminated sign.","1. \"Who Let the Dukes Out???\" is a reinterpretation of the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" The song has historically been associated with sporting events.","2. \"I'm a Sucker for (JM)U\" uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","3. \"JMU = Virginia's School\" asserts that JMU is the flagship university in the state, not Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, William \u0026 Mary, or others.","4. \"We Want the Jonas Bros to Stay at JMU Until the Year 3,000?\" refers to the Jonas Brothers' 2006 song \"Year 3000.\"","Creator included initials and date to each side -  \"KEL 2023.\"","Features a game prediction alongside graphic of Baby Yoda (aka Grogu). The prediction uses the object-subject-verb pattern that is typical of Yoda speak.","Features a photoshopped image of Lee Corso, GameDay analyst, wearing a birthday cake hat. ESPN College GameDay formally celebrated its 30th anniversary as part of the festivities at JMU on November 18, 2023. The program first used a traveling broadcast model for its November 13, 1993 show.","Uses the hashtag #letJMUbowl to plead to the NCAA that JMU should be able to play in a post-season bowl game. The Duke Dog is featured holding a football and appears to be running similar to how a football player rushes for yards.","Features image of Count von Count from Sesame Street on a television screen with the numbers 11-0 to signify what would be JMU's record if they beat Appalachian State.","Two-sided sign.","The primary side of the sign includes a quote and scene from the movie  Mean Girls  during which Regina George (JMU), played by Rachel McAdams, insults Cady Heron (Appalachian State), played by Lindsay Lohan.","The other side pleads to Barstool Sports, a digital media company, to hire the creator of the sign who will be a 2024 graduate of the School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD) and claims \"I need a job.\" Includes email address for contact.","Compares the average Appalachian State fan to Pinhead Larry, a character played by Patrick Star from the cartoon television show  Spongebob Squarepants . Pinhead Larry is depicted as a dimwit and only has one tooth.","Includes official NCAA logo with \"Unfair\" underneath referring to the NCAA's decision to deny JMU from playing in a bowl game. Created by Riley Isakower ('22).","Crossword-style graphic asserting that JMU should be eligible to play in a bowl game with JMU-Duke Dog logo.","Invokes the popular internet meme \"girl math\" by using the equation that JMU plus an 11-0 record equals (or should equal) a bowl game. A 10-0 record is crossed out and replaced with an 11-0 record which presumes JMU will beat Appalachian State. The typical concept of girl math is a humorous way of rationalizing extravagent, unnecessary, or impulsive purchases.","Pair of complementary signs each shaped like a foot.","The left foot sign reads \"Our Dawgs Are Barkin'\" which is a common saying when someone's feet are hurt. It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","The right foot sign reads \"Let the Dawgs Out\" is a reference to the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a scene from the television show  The Office  in which a younger Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, is shaking hands with his then boss Ed Truck, played by Ken Howard. The handshake meme is typically used to illustrate commonalities between two entities. In this case, the act of consistently making horrible decisions and the NCAA are shaking hands and are therefore in solidarity. This refers to the NCAA's decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","The second side is a black-and-white swirl optical illusion.","Images from the 2012 U.S. Open bowling tournament during which professional bowler Pete Weber bowled a strike during the final frame and subsequently won the tournament. Famously, Weber launched into a celebratory fit and yelled the incoherent phrase \"Who do you think you are? I am!\" This illogical celebration became a popular internet meme.","One image features Weber in his bowling stance. The NCAA logo is superimposed onto Weber and the JMU logo is superimposed onto Weber's bowling ball. The second image shows Weber's celebration with Curt Cignett's face superimposed onto Weber's face.  ","Includes the hashtag #letusbowl.","Two-sided sign.","One side has a congratulatory theme due to ESPN College GameDay's 30th anniversary.","The other side identifies the sign creators as both JMU alumni and parents to a student at the University of Auburn.","Refers to the viral Tik Tok motivational catchphrase \"Never back down. Never What? Never give up\" made popular by Nick Eh 30, an online streamer. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog his muscles.","Refers to the JMU tradition of holding the door for others when entering and exiting a building.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a comparison of the University of Michigan and JMU football teams and concludes that the NCAA does not make sense. Michigan's head football coach, Jim Harbaugh, is noted as having been twice suspended in 2023 for impermissible recruiting and chating while JMU's coach was not suspended at all. Michigan was involved in a cheating scandal while JMU was not. Despite all of this Michigan was bowl eligible while JMU was not thus the argument that the NCAA  is an illogical entity.","The second side reads \"JMU Duuukes\" which is a common chant among fans.","Festive sign that reads \"Fans For 40 Years - ESPN College GameDay - Go Dukes! - Beat App State.\" Created by Kenny Sothoron ('83) and Rebecca Woodcock Sothoron ('85).","Features a scene from  SpongeBob SquarePants  with Patrick Star and Tattletale Strangler who are both in jail. Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh's head is superimposed onto Patrick Star and the Duke Dog-JMU logo is superimposed on Tattletale Strangler. Patrick Star/Jim Harbaugh is asking Tattletale Strangler/JMU \"Hey pal, what're you in for?\" referencing Harbaugh's suspension for cheating and presumably JMU's sentence brought down by the NCAA of being bowl ineligible.","Two-sided sign.","One side states that enrolling for a sixth year of college was a wise choice due to ESPN College GameDay visiting campus as well as JMU being superior in all things. Includes \"Everything School\" logo in JMU colors.","Second side uses a turn of phrase regarding dogs and bowls to argue that JMU, whose mascot is a dog, should be eligible to play in a bowl game. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog and a bowl-shaped trophy with a clip-art picture of a peach on it which presumably refers to the Peach Bowl.

Using viral internet images popular in 2017, they center on the inferiority of the Villanova team when being compared to James Madison University. These viral images, often called memes, are variously displaying James Madison University's \"superior taste\" in all regards. Calling attention to Villanova's cost of tuition and low football game attendance rates, the majority of the posters purport that James Madison University will defeat them.

The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog.

Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices.

The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl.

The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it.

Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students.

Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other.

Cat, the wildcat. The poster is meant to imply that not only are dogs better than cats but that James Madison University will perform better than Villanova's team.","The poster follows a popularized internet format, commonly called a meme, to depict how James Madison University is better than Villanova. The image is commonly known as the \"You vs. the guy meme\" and is meant to be used to show how one guy is superior to another. The format traditionally depicts two images, usually men, side by side with the implication being that the image on the right is better and the more desirable. This poster implies that James Madison University is better and more likely to win, and thus that you should be worried if you are the other \"guy\" in the image.","The poster uses the image of Austin Rogers, a famous Jeopardy player in 2017 who had a 12-game win streak. Known for his quirky yet funny anecdotes on Jeopardy, his image quickly became a househould face for a large portion of 2017. The poster uses his image paired with the saying as a statement on how well James Madison University's season is going. Going into the Villanova game, they had 17 wins in a row, outlasting Rogers' streak on Jeopardy. The poster talks to their successful season and how it will lead them to victory over Villanova. Their final season stats of (14-1; 8-0) displays their successful season and how the James Madison University football team had a longer winning streak than a popular Jeopardy star at the time.","The poster comments on the animosity between cats and dogs by using the fact that domesticated cats use a litter box to make fun of Villanova's Will D. Cat the wildcat as being more domestic and less threatening than James Madison University's Duke Dog. The implication is that Villanova's football team will lose because they, like their mascot, are not threatening enough to beat James Madison University.","The poster discusses James Madison University's high attendance to football games. Villanova's 2017 season had low attendance rates, 5,649 average for their home team attendance. James Madison University's 2017 home team attendance is averaged around 21,724. The ESPN GameDay estimated attendance was around 14,000 people. The poster uses these statistics to show the support for James Madison University over Villanova and their hopes that this will impact the outcome of the game.","The poster uses yum-yum sauce, a Japanese steakhouse mayonnaise sauce, to undermine Villanova. Yum-yum sauce is a popularized condiment for Japanese cuisine in the United States but holds a particular fondness for James Madison University students. Brought to the dining hall, D-hall, around 2017, it was famous on campus to students as the superior sauce choice for stir-fry. This poster functions as a James Madison University inside joke to Villanova by insulting their lack of taste when it comes to condiment choices. It is then implied that their lack of taste will be reflected in how they perform at GameDay. ","While popular, yum-yum sauce was a short lived condiment on campus. It was removed from D-hall after a few years and is now remembered fondly by those students who were on campus at the time.","The full poster details the specific costs of attending Villanova in 2017. It lists out the prices of tuition and fees, $49,430, room and board, $13,093, and books and miscellaneous items, $3,400. These prices are all added up and the total is stated as \"1 a$$ kicking from JMU.\" The poster is discussing how Villanova's high cost to attend is not reflected in their ability to beat James Madison University at football. The poster is detailing not only James Madison University's lower cost of attendance but is attempting to explain how money at a university does not translate to techinical abilities on the field.","The poster functions as a gesture from a student to their parents during GameDay weekend. With GameDay being broadcast on ESPN, this poster is a way for a student to show their family where they are on the broadcast and say hello to them from the crowd.","The poster features James Madison University's colors of gold and purple with the university letters surrounded by hearts. The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster states how James Madison's successful season, 17 straight wins at this point in 2017, will lead to a victory over the Villanova team. The statement of \"it's OVA\" is a reference to a common phrase about something already being done. The connotation here is that it is already over for Villanova and James Madison University will win. ","The poster is made on a Pizza Hut sponsored GameDay poster. In 2017, it was Pizza Hut's third year as GameDay sponsor. These posters were handed out to students to create their own sayings for the football game.","The poster uses a popular internet graphic from the 2010s to depict how former James Madison University head coach, Everett Withers is regretting his decision to leave and coach at Texas State University. ","An internet meme is a humorous image online that is often replicated and parodied to fit specific situations. The poster uses the popular meme entitled \"distracted boyfriend\" which shows a guy walking with his girlfriend but looking back at another girl. Traditionally, the meme is used to show how someone is disloyal or regretting a choice they have made. The meme first appeared in early 2017 but by August 2017 was viral online.","The poster uses this viral internet frame to portray Everett Withers as the \"distracted boyfriend\" in the meme. James Madison University is the girl he is looking back at and Texas State University is his current girlfriend. After coaching the James Madison University football team in the 2015 GameDay, the poster implies his disloyalty to his current team and regret around not coaching James Madison University for their second GameDay. Brought on by James Madison University's strong season in 2017, a 17-game winning streak, it is implying they will not lose at GameDay this time around. ","Additionally, the back of the poster has \"Hey Papa Waller!\" on it. This is likely a message from a student to their family. Knowing that GameDay will be streaming on ESPN, it would have served as a way for their family to see them on TV and say \"hey\" from the large GameDay crowd. ","The poster is in reference to a comment by Cam Newton, then Carolina Panthers quarterback, to reporter Jourdan Rodrigue on October 4, 2017. In response to her question about running routes with wide receiver Devin Funchess, Cam Newton responded \"it's funny to hear a female talk about routes.\" This poster references said comment and undermines Newton's comment about women. The poster has an unknown signature on it.","The poster uses a pop culture reference to a popular children's television show to display how bad of a team Villanova is. Referencing the popular show Spongebob Squarepants, the poster is meant to show Villanova's distasteful nature in their choice of restaurant from the show. Notably, the show centers around the restaurant known as \"The Krusty Krab\", a popular eatery in the show compared to its rival the \"Chum Bucket.\" The Chum Bucket is known for serving poor food, often chum, and is often considered the villain in the show. The poster references how Villanova is viewed in the same regard by James Madison University students. It is also inferred that due to their restaurant choice Villanova will lose the game because they have inferior restaurant tastes compared to James Madison University. ","The poster has an unknown signature.","The poster uses a popular image from \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown\" film to represent the superiority of James Madison University's football team over Villanova's. Using the image of Charlie Brown trick or treating in his ghost costume, Villanova is represented as the one who gets a rock in their bag. Paired with James Madison University's character, also dressed as a ghost, stating that they received a championship ring, it is meant to imply their superiority at football. This was a common internet image circulating at the time. It was commonly known as \"Charlie Brown Halloween Rock Meme\" and is meant to show how one person always gets something less than the other. The poster adds the university logos to each ghost character to further this point of James Madison University being better sports team than Villanova.","Many of the signs make reference to the NCAA bowl game controversy; the Jonas Brothers, specifically Joe Jonas's recent separation from actress Sophie Turner; University of Michigan's football cheating scandal; and other happenings in pop culture.","Sign reads \"Joe Jonas I'm Single (also go dukes)\" and is in reference to Joe Jonas's recent separation from Sophie Turner. Created by Olivia Lewis ('23).","The sign suggests that JMU will easily defeat Appalachian State, whose mascot is Yosef the Mountaineer. The hashtag #everythingschool is also included which refers to the JMU's success in numerous sports during the fall of 2023 including football, men's basketball, and women's soccer. While some colleges and universities are historically known to be a \"football school\" or a \"basketball school\", JMU conversely was colloquially recognized as an \"everything school\" by excelling in all things.","Sign includes purple and gold paw prints and a hand-drawn barking Duke Dog. Created by Lydia Endersby ('23).","The sign reimagines a line from the song \"Munch (Feelin' U)\" by Ice Spice, released in 2023, and presumably refers to Kevin Jonas. Created by Laine Kelly ('25).","Two-sided sign.","The primary side features the Duke Dog standing on the top of a mountain peak saying \"Roll Dukes\" while Yosef the Mountaineer, the Appalachian State mascot, rolls down on a boulder to the base of the mountain to join the other opponents JMU defeated earlier in the season.","The opposite side requests that Nick Jonas show his Dexcom device, a continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes management, and the sign-holder will show him theirs. Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13.","The sign refers to ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit's Golden Retriever named Ben who frequently accompanied Herbstreit on his trips to call and analyze football games. Ben was in attendance at JMU's College GameDay.","The NCAA's ruling that JMU was ineligible to play in a bowl game because of their two-year transition period from FCS to FBS demonstrates the NCAA's hatred for puppies. The sign features a picture of a crying Duke Dog.","Demands of the NCAA to let JMU play in a bowl game and invokes the Jonas Brothers by using a play on the popular phrase \"What Would Jesus Do?\"","A sign presumably created for a two-year-old JMU fan and future Duke.","Features the Duke Dog trash talking Appalachian State by making a pun about their mascot Yosef.","Two-sided sign.","One side accuses Applachian State of having pubic lice. Includes the hashtag #RollMotherF*ckingDukes. The creator of the sign was dressed in a crab suit during GameDay.","The second side features a map of Virginia (labeled JMU) and North Carolina (labeled App State) using it as rationale for Appalachian State being inferior to JMU.","During a November 13, 2023 press conference, Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team, referred to his team as \"America's team.\" The sign offers a counterpoint, asserting that JMU is actually America's team. Created by John Bowen Jr. ('04).","Two-sided sign.","One side features a play on words using the Sun Belt Conference, of which JMU became a member in 2022, and the phrase \"fly too close to the sun\" which refers to the story of Icarus in Greek mythology.","The second side requests information on Joe Jonas's impending divorce from actress Sophie Turner and follows up with the parenthetical question \"Marry Me??\"","The sign demonstrates fandom for JMU through the practice of sharing one's pronouns. Includes a graphic of the Duke Dog riding on a flying bald eagle.","The sign uses the lyrics of the Jonas Brothers song \"Sucker\" to convey the similarities and closeness between JMU and the band. Each of the Jonas Brothers' faces is superimposed on a bowling pin referring to the NCAA bowl eligibility controversy.","Accuses Desmond Howard of stealing Kirk Herbstreit's talking points for ESPN College GameDay. Both are analysts on the college football pre-game show. The sign may also allude to the University of Michigan sign-stealing controversy of 2023 given that Desmond Howard played college football at Michigan.","Features purple and gold \"JMU\" in bubble letters.","Features an image of Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift taken on the night of September 19, 2023 while the two were out in New York City. Also includes the hashtag #TeamSophie and select lyrics from Swift's song \"Vigilante Shit.\" The sign is an obvious reference to Turner's recent separation from Joe Jonas.","Comments on the success of JMU's football team by making reference to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Burnin' Up.\"","Two-sided sign.","One side declares that JMU (hot) is superior to App State (not).","The second side encourages people to support libraries.","Two-sided sign. Both sides are identical.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","Demands of the NCAA to allow JMU play in a bowl game.","The sign predicts JMU will have a record of 11-0 after their game against Appalachian State, presuming a victory over the Mountaineers. Also includes the slogan made popular by Apple in 2009 claiming that there is an application for everything.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","Crossword-style graphic and includes image of embarrassed Duke Dog and football helmet.","The sign redefines the NCAA acronym and presumably refers to its decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Also includes the hashtag #letjmubowl.","James Madison is universally acknowledged as the Father of the Constitution due to his instrumental role in drafting the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. The sign argues that James Madison is also the father of football, a claim likely made due to JMU's dominance in football. Includes drawing of the American flag and the Duke Dog holding a copy of the Bill of Rights with the amendment \"JMU shall bowl.\"","Quotes the Preamble of the Constitution to convince the NCAA to allow JMU to play in a bowl game. Includes image of James Madison wearing sunglasses and bowling pins labeled with each of JMU's opponents up until that point in the 2023 season. Created by Maddy Brendel ('27).","Refers to the two-year transition period the NCAA requires of teams that join new conferences before they're allowed to play in the postseason. Includes each teams' win percentage since 2022 when JMU formally joined the Sun Belt Conference. JMU had an 86% win percentage while Appalachian State's win percentage was 55%.","Demands that the NCAA allow JMU to play in a bowl game by touting the team's undefeated record. Other imagery identifies Appalachian State as losers while JMU are winners.","Printed sign features official JMU letters and an artifical intelligence (AI)-generated Duke Dog with a fierce facial expression and a crown.","Printed sign features JMU logo (Duke Dog on top of JMU letters) with the phrases \"Duke Dog's Ready to Pound\" and \"Welcome to Our House!\"","Accuses Appalachian State fans of urinating while standing and therefore being weak or effeminate or any number of other presumed insults associated with that manner of using the bathroom. The attack is likely targeted at men fans who would otherwise stand while they urinate. The word \"Pee\" is in yellow letters.","Four-sided laminated sign.","1. \"Who Let the Dukes Out???\" is a reinterpretation of the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" The song has historically been associated with sporting events.","2. \"I'm a Sucker for (JM)U\" uses lyrics to the Jonas Brothers' song \"Sucker\" to convey affinity for JMU.","3. \"JMU = Virginia's School\" asserts that JMU is the flagship university in the state, not Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, William \u0026 Mary, or others.","4. \"We Want the Jonas Bros to Stay at JMU Until the Year 3,000?\" refers to the Jonas Brothers' 2006 song \"Year 3000.\"","Creator included initials and date to each side -  \"KEL 2023.\"","Features a game prediction alongside graphic of Baby Yoda (aka Grogu). The prediction uses the object-subject-verb pattern that is typical of Yoda speak.","Features a photoshopped image of Lee Corso, GameDay analyst, wearing a birthday cake hat. ESPN College GameDay formally celebrated its 30th anniversary as part of the festivities at JMU on November 18, 2023. The program first used a traveling broadcast model for its November 13, 1993 show.","Uses the hashtag #letJMUbowl to plead to the NCAA that JMU should be able to play in a post-season bowl game. The Duke Dog is featured holding a football and appears to be running similar to how a football player rushes for yards.","Features image of Count von Count from Sesame Street on a television screen with the numbers 11-0 to signify what would be JMU's record if they beat Appalachian State.","Two-sided sign.","The primary side of the sign includes a quote and scene from the movie  Mean Girls  during which Regina George (JMU), played by Rachel McAdams, insults Cady Heron (Appalachian State), played by Lindsay Lohan.","The other side pleads to Barstool Sports, a digital media company, to hire the creator of the sign who will be a 2024 graduate of the School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD) and claims \"I need a job.\" Includes email address for contact.","Compares the average Appalachian State fan to Pinhead Larry, a character played by Patrick Star from the cartoon television show  Spongebob Squarepants . Pinhead Larry is depicted as a dimwit and only has one tooth.","Includes official NCAA logo with \"Unfair\" underneath referring to the NCAA's decision to deny JMU from playing in a bowl game. Created by Riley Isakower ('22).","Crossword-style graphic asserting that JMU should be eligible to play in a bowl game with JMU-Duke Dog logo.","Invokes the popular internet meme \"girl math\" by using the equation that JMU plus an 11-0 record equals (or should equal) a bowl game. A 10-0 record is crossed out and replaced with an 11-0 record which presumes JMU will beat Appalachian State. The typical concept of girl math is a humorous way of rationalizing extravagent, unnecessary, or impulsive purchases.","Pair of complementary signs each shaped like a foot.","The left foot sign reads \"Our Dawgs Are Barkin'\" which is a common saying when someone's feet are hurt. It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","The right foot sign reads \"Let the Dawgs Out\" is a reference to the Baha Men's 2000 song \"Who Let the Dogs Out.\" It also refers to JMU's mascot which is a dog.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a scene from the television show  The Office  in which a younger Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, is shaking hands with his then boss Ed Truck, played by Ken Howard. The handshake meme is typically used to illustrate commonalities between two entities. In this case, the act of consistently making horrible decisions and the NCAA are shaking hands and are therefore in solidarity. This refers to the NCAA's decision to not allow JMU to play in a bowl game.","The second side is a black-and-white swirl optical illusion.","Images from the 2012 U.S. Open bowling tournament during which professional bowler Pete Weber bowled a strike during the final frame and subsequently won the tournament. Famously, Weber launched into a celebratory fit and yelled the incoherent phrase \"Who do you think you are? I am!\" This illogical celebration became a popular internet meme.","One image features Weber in his bowling stance. The NCAA logo is superimposed onto Weber and the JMU logo is superimposed onto Weber's bowling ball. The second image shows Weber's celebration with Curt Cignett's face superimposed onto Weber's face.  ","Includes the hashtag #letusbowl.","Two-sided sign.","One side has a congratulatory theme due to ESPN College GameDay's 30th anniversary.","The other side identifies the sign creators as both JMU alumni and parents to a student at the University of Auburn.","Refers to the viral Tik Tok motivational catchphrase \"Never back down. Never What? Never give up\" made popular by Nick Eh 30, an online streamer. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog his muscles.","Refers to the JMU tradition of holding the door for others when entering and exiting a building.","Two-sided sign.","Primary side includes a comparison of the University of Michigan and JMU football teams and concludes that the NCAA does not make sense. Michigan's head football coach, Jim Harbaugh, is noted as having been twice suspended in 2023 for impermissible recruiting and chating while JMU's coach was not suspended at all. Michigan was involved in a cheating scandal while JMU was not. Despite all of this Michigan was bowl eligible while JMU was not thus the argument that the NCAA  is an illogical entity.","The second side reads \"JMU Duuukes\" which is a common chant among fans.","Festive sign that reads \"Fans For 40 Years - ESPN College GameDay - Go Dukes! - Beat App State.\" Created by Kenny Sothoron ('83) and Rebecca Woodcock Sothoron ('85).","Features a scene from  SpongeBob SquarePants  with Patrick Star and Tattletale Strangler who are both in jail. Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh's head is superimposed onto Patrick Star and the Duke Dog-JMU logo is superimposed on Tattletale Strangler. Patrick Star/Jim Harbaugh is asking Tattletale Strangler/JMU \"Hey pal, what're you in for?\" referencing Harbaugh's suspension for cheating and presumably JMU's sentence brought down by the NCAA of being bowl ineligible.","Two-sided sign.","One side states that enrolling for a sixth year of college was a wise choice due to ESPN College GameDay visiting campus as well as JMU being superior in all things. Includes \"Everything School\" logo in JMU colors.","Second side uses a turn of phrase regarding dogs and bowls to argue that JMU, whose mascot is a dog, should be eligible to play in a bowl game. Includes graphic of the Duke Dog and a bowl-shaped trophy with a clip-art picture of a peach on it which presumably refers to the Peach Bowl.

Accessed August 09, 2016. https://www.jmu.edu/furiousflower/index.shtml.","The Furious Flower Poetry Center (FFPC) was established in 1999 by Joanne V. Gabbin when she was the director of James Madison University's Honors Program. With this flagship of the Honors Program, she continued the kind of programming she had begun by hosting the 1994 Furious Flower Poetry Conference, which was the nation's first scholarly conference on Black poetry. The conference, entitled Furious Flower: A Revolution in African American Poetry, was dedicated to acclaimed poet Gwendolyn Brooks and featured scholars, critics, and the most accomplished and esteemed poets of the time including Nikki Giovanni, Rita Dove, Sonia Sanchez, Michael S. Harper, Haki Madhubuti, and Gwendolyn Brooks herself. The name \"Furious Flower\" is derived from Brooks' poem Second Sermon on the Warpland in which she writes:","The time\ncracks into furious flower. Lifts its face\nall unashamed. And sways in wicked grace.","Many who participated in the inaugural Furious Flower conference had their roots in the Black Arts Movement. The Black Arts Movement emerged in the wake of the Black Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s and was comprised of politically motivated black visionaries, poets, artists, dramatists, musicians, and writers. The conference was met with overwhelming praise and The Washington Post called it an historic event. ","Due to the success of the 1994 Furious Flower Conference, the Furious Flower Poetry Center (FFPC) was established in 1999 and the Conference became a decennial event, held every ten years. The subsequent conferences were Regenerating the Black Poetic Tradition (2004) and Seeding the Future of African American Poetry (2014). Conference programming is comprised of concerts, readings, roundtable and panel discussions, and paper presentations.","In 2005, following the success of the second Furious Flower Poetry Conference (2004), JMU gave the FFPC its official charter, making it the first academic center in the United States devoted to Black poetry. Gabbin became its executive director, leaving the Honors Program after 19 years of service.","Today, the FFPC is committed to \"cultivating, honoring, and promoting the diverse voices of African American poets by making the genre accessible to a wide audience and collaborating with educational and cultural institutions, literary organizations, and artists.\" It hosts visiting poets for readings at JMU and nearby venues; sponsors workshops; holds an annual poetry camp for elementary and middle school-aged children; produces texts, videos, DVDs and other materials on African-American poetry; and gathers poets and other scholars for intimate panels and seminars, as well as major conferences. FFPC has held four decennial Furious Flower Conferences: \"A Revolution in African American Poetry\" (1994), \"Regenerating the Black Poetic Tradition\" (2004), \"Seeding the Future of African American Poetry\" (2014), and \"Furious Flower IV: Celebrating the Worlds of Black Poetry (2024).","FFPC is located off of Martin Luther King Jr. Way/Historic Cantrell Avenue. Beyond her duties as Executive Director of the Furious Flower Poetry Center, Joanne Gabbin is a professor of English at JMU, a published author, and a member of the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent.","The 1994 Conference Video Recordings, 1994 September 29-October 1, were produced by John L. Hodges. The videos represent the raw footage captured during the 1994 Conference.","Additional information on the Dark Room Collective can be found  here.","The donor's original order, including folder titles, was maintained whenever possible.

During processing several folders were discovered to be empty. Their folder titles are as follows: Dream in Color Drafts, WHSV Children First 2010, WVPT Kid's Book Festival 2010, Poetry Month 2010, Winter Poetry Contest 2010, Marilyn Nelson Reading 2010, 73 Poems Honorariums (Music). The empty folders were discarded. Numerous folders with small purchase credit card statements and receipts were also discarded.

The conference records were added as a separate series with subseries for each of the decennial conferences. At this same time, accruals received after initial processing were physically arranged to match their intellectual arrangement. Additional financial files deemed to have limited research value were also weeded in April 2022. Administrative receipts, travel vouchers, travel expenses and reimbursements, travel authorizations, purchase orders, invoices for supplies, monthly detail budget reports, and budget revisions were returned to FFPC.","Processing of audiovisual content is in-process as of April 2022.

A portion of the material contained within the records derive from events and programs sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center including 73 Poems for 73 Years: Celebrating the Life of Lucille Clifton, Lineage: The Margaret Walker Song Cycle, and an annual children's poetry camp. Specific types of materials include event posters and brochures, exhibit panels, logistical and planning documentation, and email correspondence. Materials related to publications produced by the Center such as Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy and Shaping Memories: Reflections of African American Women Writers are comprised of draft manuscripts and correspondence with poets and publishers. Grant proposals and awards, many of which relate to the aforementioned events and projects, are also represented. Materials related to the decennial Furious Flower poetry conferences, including administrative documentation and video recordings, are represented in the Conference Records series.","Arranged chronologically. ","FFPC relies heavily on funding from corporate entities and non-profits to subsidize and off-set the cost of furthering their mission of promoting African-American poetry. As such, this series contains grant proposals and awards (all closed) relating to events, publications, and other projects sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. Projects represented in this series include \"Dream in Color,\" an online curriculum sponsored by Target that enabled elementary, middle, and high-school students to discover the works of African-American poets; and the publication of Mourning Katrina, an anthology of poems by observers and survivors of Hurricane Katrina. All grant materials were removed from three-ring binders and foldered, maintaining original order.","Arranged chronologically by project date and sub-arranged alphabetically within each project.","This series contains material related to publications and manuscripts produced by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. In many cases this refers to books in the typical sense (Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy, Furious Flower: African-American Poetry from the Black Arts Movement to the Present), Furious Flower Poetry Center also oversaw the publication of The Painted Word – a set of notecards and a corresponding calendar of poets' portraits. Correspondence with various publishers is also included.","Arranged chronologically by event and sub-arranged alphabetically within each event.","This series is comprised of material relating primarily to the many events, programs, and workshops hosted and sponsored by the Furious Flower Poetry Center. Major events represented in this series include Tell Me Your Names: The Poetry of Lucille Clifton, a week-long seminar held June 14 –June 21, 2009 and 73 Poems for 73 Years: Celebrating the Life of Lucille Clifton, a tribute program held September 21, 2010. Of particular interest are 57 oversize exhibit panels from Among Poets: Lucille Clifton Commemorative Exhibition. This 2012 exhibition held at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum and the Enoch Pratt Free Library, both in Baltimore, Maryland, primarily feature photographs by Lynda Koolish of Lucille Clifton, her contemporaries, and her family and friends. The Center's annual Children's Poetry Camp is also well documented. Researchers should note that there are some files in this series (e.g. materials concerning Oni Lasana Productions) that are not directly related to events held by FFPC. These events are likely ones attended by FFPC staff or documented because they serve as examples of comparable outreach initiatives or similar types of promotion.","One file of materials related to the Furious Flower Poetry Center's 25th Anniversary Celebration, held in September 2019 at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, include promotional material, a schedule of events, and a copy of the invocation presented by Rev. Edward A. Scott. Of particular interest is a promotional card inscribed by Qiniso \"Qibho\" Motsa, a poet, musicion, author, and social activist from Eswatini.","This series comprises materials related to the decennial Furious Flower poetry conferences, beginning with the inaugural conference in 1994. A significant portion of the records include logistical and planning documentation for each conference as well as marking and promotional items. These materials are comprised of calls for papers, contracts, correspondence, address lists, ticket requests, travel, transportation, and lodging reservations, and menus. The records include nontraditional items as well. Of interest are exhibit panels (text labels and images) describing and depicting the participants of the 1994 conference. Magnesium letterpress die plates used to print a limited edition portfolio Furious Flower: A Revolution in African American Poetry, a special collection of 23 poems selected by poets (who participated in the 1994 conference) to represent their work, are included.

This roundtable will investigate the nature and extent of this matrixing. It will consider the relationship of the folk to the popular vernacular mode, whether \"continuity\" or \"disjuncture\" best describes that relationship and how the difference between the two is imprinted upon the literature. It will also consider the nature and validity of rural/urban, southern/northern distinctions as they apply to cultural expressive manifestations such as the blues, and the degree to which these distinctions spill over into the poetry as a literary production.

In short, theory is obligated to explain relations between people and artifacts in the contexts of history and culture. In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

It will consider the relationship of the folk to the popular vernacular mode, whether \"continuity\" or \"disjuncture\" best describes that relationship and how the difference between the two is imprinted upon the literature.

In that sense, theory is necessary for rigorous examination of African American poetry. How might theory advance the study and appreciation of African American poetry? Within the frame of this questions, scholars on the panel will be asked to address what kind of critical or cultural theory seems most appropriate for understanding poetry, how such theories influence interpretive methods and approaches, and how must theorists themselves grapple with their own historicity in light of African American poetry's evolution from orature to literature to newer genres that mix orality and literacy.

Although rumblings of self-government began with the founding of the school in 1908, it took a fair amount of effort to bring this idea to fruition. The roots of the university's SGA derive from the student Honor Council which began in the 1909-1910 school year. Students involved in the Honor Council began to create an unofficial student government that although unable to act in an official capacity, was instrumental in helping to bring about student support for self-government. By 1914, a small group of students worked together to draft a constitution for the planned student government organization and presented this constitution to the faculty. After completing revisions suggested by the faculty, the constitution was presented and voted on by the entire student body February 25, 1915 and as a result, the Student Association of the State Normal School at Harrisonburg was established. This first iteration of the organization required that the entire student body act as a member. Additionally, the Honor Committee was converted into the first Executive Board. This Executive Board included three officers (president, vice-president, and secretary), and several elected members of each class.","As the school and student population grew so did the organization and it eventually became unrealistic for the entire student body to act as members of the organization. Complications also arose within the organization with the introduction of full-time male students in 1946. At the time, it did not seem appropriate for men and women to govern students of the opposite sex. As a result, the male students decided to create their own self-government in 1950, labeling their organization the Men's Student Government Organization. The female students likewise formally relabeled their existing organization the Women's Student Government Association in 1953 to better distinguish the separation between the two groups; however, they rarely included this additional identifier. While the two groups worked together on many matters through the 50s and 60s, the organizations formally combine in 1970, creating the current manifestation of the Student Government Association. ","As of 2015, the SGA at JMU is made up of appointed members on the Executive Staff, Representatives, and At-Large Senators. Elected members include Class Council Senators, College Senators, and Area Residence Senators. The mission: The Student Government Association of James Madison University is an organization dedicated to collaborating with all members of its community to advocate for student opinion, while fostering a proactive, inclusive environment.","After reviewing the material in all accessions, about 2 linear feet of material was removed from one of the 2005 accessions. The material was largely financial forms that contained banking information or social security numbers. All binder and notebook material was removed from the original bindings and transferred into folders. All the pages from each of the scrapbooks were removed and photocopied. Photocopies were also made of the cover and back covers. This was done to help preserve the context of the photographs on the pages in preparation for possible adhesive failure.","Some of the material in this collection can be viewed on Special Collections' Student Government Association Digital Exhibit published on-line in April 2015. https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/specialcollections/collections/show/2","This collection documents the activities of James Madison University's Student Government Association in Harrisonburg, Virginia from 1915-2024. The collection developed from seven different accessions from the Student Government Association received in the 1990s and early 2000s and contains a wide range of material which is organized according to physical type or corresponding to subject. Much of the material in this collection derives from different meetings within the organization including: the Student Council, Student Senate, Execution Board, Senate and Council Committees, and others. A large amount of the collection is administrative material regarding the work of these different internal groups as well as the procedures which govern them. Similarly, these different internal meetings produced a fair amount of the minutes, committee reports, and legislative files found in the collection. In addition to these materials, there are also a large amount of financial files related to the budget of SGA and other on campus organizations. This collection also consists of correspondence to and from different members of the SGA usually regarding issues of student conduct on and off campus. The last major section of the collection contains photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera memorializing different SGA events. Further descriptions of the material can be found in the series descriptions.","This is the largest series in the collection and contains material related to the function and organization of SGA, featuring a variety of documents from 1923-2013, with the bulk of this series is from 1990-2013. There is a large gap in the material around 1980s. The first folder in the series, containing the organization's first constitution and by-laws, is not original to the collection. The document was located in the 1915 Faculty Minutes in the Board of Visitors Collection, 1908-2004 (PR 99-1122), photocopied, and added to the collection on March 25, 2015. This series additionally contains some interesting material related to student strikes which took place on campus in 1969 and 1970. There is particular information related to Jay Rainey, one of the student leaders, as well as SGA's Committee on Student Protest. Other materials to note in this series are documents from the early 2000s which relate to the sexual assault research on college campuses, reports related to the impact of Title IX on campus, and SGA research regarding the Forrest Hill Riot in 2000, which resulted in a conflict between the Harrisonburg Police Department and students at a spring block party.","This series contains material related to the work of the different SGA committees from 1931-2002. There is another large gap of material in the 1980s. The bulk of this series is from the 1960s and 1999-2002. This series also includes information related to the standards of conduct for female students in the 1930s and 1960s, such as proper dating procedures.","This series features correspondence from members of SGA to faculty and students on campus as well as several folders of correspondence to individuals off campus. The material in this series ranges from 1955-1971 with a small concentration from 2003. This series contains a fair amount of historical material, such as: a thank you card from Jackie Kennedy, 1963; material related to fears of communism on college campuses, 1965-1966; a letter from an upset parent regarding Jane Fonda's visit to campus in 1971; correspondence related to the proper conduct of female students during the 1950s and 1960s, especially in terms of interactions with males. This series also contains a collection of correspondence regarding the 2003 Board of Visitors decision to stop supplying students with emergency conception through the health center.","This series contains material related to the different standards and regulations applying to the students of the school 1931-1971. Most of the material from this series is from the 1950s and 1960s. These documents provide interesting examples of the different social expectations of men and women during the period as well as the restrictive nature of the school's administration in comparison to current campus regulations. The material from the 2000s relates to the policies student representatives are to follow during meetings of the Student Senate.","This series contains the minutes of the different branches of SGA, particularly Student Senate and the Executive Board, 1922-2012. There are two gaps in this series most notably between 1930-1940 with two smaller gaps in the 1970s and 2000s. These minutes generally provide information such as: meeting agendas, events taking place on campus, SGA members and committee chairs, as well as general insight into the everyday issues discussed in SGA meetings.","This series contains a mixture of bills and resolutions from SGA's Student Senate, 1989-2012, with the bulk from the 1990s. The series contains a large amount of resolutions related to the organization's contingency fund through which SGA assists in providing funding to different student organization on campus. However, there are also several folders of various bills presented to the Student Senate including proposed legislation that address contemporary social issues such as sexual orientation, campus issues such as better toilet paper, and student issues such as students' rights to privacy.","This series contains a variety of financial documents ranging from purchase orders and yearly budget information to travel receipts. A majority of the materials in this collection are budget reports providing financial information for different fiscal years. These reports are usually connected to the creation of the university's front-end budgets and often include budget information for other campus organizations such as the University Program Board, The Breeze, Black Student Alliance, and Student Ambassadors. A majority of the material removed from this series were: purchase orders; accounting and banking information; invoices; and receipts. This material was removed due to the presence of account information and social security numbers, and/or it was deemed that the material had little research value.","This series contains records of disciplinary hearings conducted by Student Council, 1922-1973. Examples of students' misconduct include smoking cigarettes, possession of smoking paraphernalia, riding with dates without proper permission, going downtown or off campus without proper permission, cheating on assignments and/or examinations, mild hazing, stealing books, shoplifting, and drinking. Punishments included warnings, being \"campused,\" probation, and indefinite suspension.","This series features five different groups of photographs, 2000-2014. The bulk of these photographs are connected to the SGA research of the Forrest Hill Riot in 2000; however, there are also photographs of the Class of 2009 Ring Premiere, the SGA Halloween Party, JMU's Big Event, and one of SGA's lobbying trips.","This series contains material from eight different SGA scrapbooks dated 2001-2009. These scrapbooks have little descriptive text and mostly contain photographs of different SGA functions and events. These scrapbooks are some of the best representations of the SGA student experience, as the images in these book show the relationships and personalities of the individuals that comprise the organization. One of particular importance is the scrapbook containing the letters, pictures, and notes saved from the two-year anniversary memorial of 9-11. The SGA 2001-2002 scrapbook contains a photograph of SGA members with former Governor and Mayor Douglas Wilder and Senator Mark Warner.","This series contains a variety of realia related to the history of SGA, 1930-2014. There are several large gaps in this series; 1931-1954, 1970-1980, and 2002-2012. The ephemera in this collection primarily comprises shirts, posters, academic regalia, and installation programs; however, there are additional items such as an SGA travel mug and several plaques. \"Mr. and Ms. Madison 2014\" sashes are included.","Series 12 consists of materials transferred to Special Collections in May 2024 comprising digital files. One folder of paper certificates, honors, and proclamations is included. The contents of this series are similar to records present throughout the collection and include minutes, resolutions, constitutions, financial files and budgets, correspondence, member lists, bills of opinion, house rules, election policies, and photographs.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

Much of the material in this collection derives from different meetings within the organization including: the Student Council, Student Senate, Execution Board, Senate and Council Committees, and others. A large amount of the collection is administrative material regarding the work of these different internal groups as well as the procedures which govern them. Similarly, these different internal meetings produced a fair amount of the minutes, committee reports, and legislative files found in the collection. In addition to these materials, there are also a large amount of financial files related to the budget of SGA and other on campus organizations. This collection also consists of correspondence to and from different members of the SGA usually regarding issues of student conduct on and off campus.

Toliver, 2009.","Toliver, Ruth M. History of Kelley Street United Brethren in Christ Church, Newtown, Harrisonburg, Virginia, 1892-1906. Gaithersburg, MD: Signature Books, 1998.","Obituary for Austin G. Harris, Daily News-Record, April 8, 2005.","Ruth M. Toliver is a retired English teacher, local and family historian, and the author of   History of Kelley Street United Brethren in Christ Church, Newtown, Harrisonburg, Virginia, 1892-1906  (1998) and  Keeping Up With Yesterday  (2009). She is the daughter of Eugene Murdock and Myrtle Newman Murdock (1901-2000) and the granddaughter of George Ambrose Newman and Mary Dallard Newman. Ruth Toliver inherited many of the family papers that comprise this collection from her cousin Wendell Temple (d. 2005), son of Ruby Newman Temple. She married Lowell Toliver, son of Theodore Tolliver (1902-1967) and Phoebe Harper Tolliver (1906-1982). Lowell Toliver, who was born and raised in Harrisonburg, entered the U. S. Army in January 1953 and it was at this point that the spelling of his last name changed from Tolliver to Toliver.","Born February 4, 1855 in Winchester, Virginia to free Black parents, George Ambrose Newman moved to Harrisonburg in 1875 to serve as principal of the local African American school. Newman learned to read and write at an early age and also pursued his interests in music. He served for 33 years as a teacher and administrator in the city school system—chiefly at the Effinger Street School—and also held teaching positions in Warren County, Augusta County, and West Virginia. Six of Newman's children also pursued teaching and began their careers in Rockingham County. Along with Ulysses G. Wilson, local educator and half-brother of Lucy F. Simms, Newman paid the poll taxes of local Black men in response to disenfranchisement tactics during segregation. In addition to being an influential educator Newman was a minister, musician, a member of the Mt. Zion Lodge of Masons in Staunton, and a member of the John Wesley United Methodist Church (variously known as John Wesley Methodist Church and John Wesley M. E. Church) in Harrisonburg. Outside of teaching, Newman took positions as an agent of the Internal Revenue Service and a U.S. Deputy Marshall. ","George A. Newman married Margaret \"Maggie\" Dallard (1859-1887), daughter of Ambrose and Harriett Dallard, in 1877 and together they had four children. After Maggie's death in 1887, George Newman married Maggie's sister, Mary F. Dallard (1869-1968), as was Ghanian tradition. They had ten children. Newman is remembered as a trailblazing member of Harrisonburg's early African American community and a respected educational leader. Per his obituary, Newman had started his 66th reading of the Bible just months prior to his death. Newman passed away on April 6, 1944 at the age of 89.","Ruby Edith Newman (1898-1983) was born in Harrisonburg to George A. Newman and Mary Dallard Newman. She married Junius Leroy Temple in 1920. Ruby Newman Temple was a member of the John Wesley United Methodist Church and served for many years as the secretary of the church's Woman's Society of Christian Service (WSCS). WSCS met monthly at either the church or the home of a society member.","Austin Gerald Harris (1941-2005) was born in Harrisonburg to Carlotta Newman Harris and Austin St. Clair \"Dick\" Harris. He was the grandson of George A. Newman and Mary Dallard Newman on his mother's side and W. N. P. Harris and Geraldine Robinson Harris on his father's side. Harris attended Lucy F. Simms School and while a student entered a local \"How To Beautify Your City\" contest sponsored by the Spotswood Garden Club's Road Beautification Committee. Due to Harrisonburg and Rockingham County's connection to turkeys, Harris submitted the idea and complementary design for turkey monuments to be placed at the highway approaches to Rockingham County. Harris's submission was selected as the winner and the monuments were subsequently dedicated in December 1955. Harris also attended Banneker Junior High School and Theodore Roosevelt High School in Washington, DC. After graduation from Roosevelt, Harris matriculated at Howard University where he graduated in 1964. While a student at Howard, Harris was a member of the ROTC. Harris obtained his master's degree from Syracuse University and later worked at Niagara Mohawk Power Company (Syracuse) and Associated Utilities Company (New Jersey).","Wendell Ambrose Temple (1923-2005) was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia to Ruby Newman Temple (1898-1983) and Junius Leroy Temple (1898-1937). Locally, he attended Effinger High School and Lucy F. Simms School. He was an accomplished pianist and musician, and described as a child prodigy in the local newspaper. As a youth, Temple won state-wide music contests and performed at Harrisonburg's State Theater. He received his early training almost exclusively by local music instructor Thurston DeMasters. Temple graduated from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the University of Iowa. He taught at Florida A\u0026M University and Wilberforce University.","George A. Newman, Ruby Newman Temple, and Gerald Harris are all buried in Newtown Cemetery along with many of their immediate and extended family members.","Beyond the Newman family, much of this collection more generally documents Newtown, Harrisonburg's historically African American community located in the northeast section of the city. After Emancipation, this area was settled by formerly enslaved people who began purchasing lots in the Zirkle addition which was farmland located on the northeast edge of town that was newly opened up to residential development. During the 1950s and 1960s, Harrisonburg engaged in urban renewal (Project R4) during which the city identified \"blight\" areas and after acquiring homes and land under eminent domain, sold the property to developers. As a result many Black-owned homes and businesses in the Newtown area were razed, and community members were forced to relocate.","A portion of the original photographs copied for the tri-folds were provided to the Tolivers by community and family members.","George Newman's manuscript was digitized per the donor's request in February 2021. The digital scans are available to researchers upon request. Numerous manuscript pages have writing on their verso side (back) though these were not scanned. All of those pages were flagged by the archivist with a \"SEE VERSO\" slip of paper. The pages were kept in the order in which they were received with the exception of a few instances in which numbered pages were clearly misordered and were reordered by the archivist to reflect the accurate numerical page order.","Original description of the photographs created by the donor was largely retained within descriptive elements of the container list (e.g. thematic titles of tri-folds and item-level titles).","Loose programs and handwritten documents were removed from George Newman's notebook documenting the history of the John Wesley M. E. Church and arranged according to material type.","Materials related to Gerald Harris were largely kept in the same topical order in which they were received.","Allison Lyttle, JMU Libraries Music \u0026 Media Metadata Specialist, assisted in identifying, sorting, and describing Wendell Temple's sheet music which was donated in no discernable order.","Kelley Street United Brethren in Christ Church (Harrisonburg, Va.). Records, 1892-1905. Accession 37081, Church records collection, The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia.","The Ruth and Lowell Toliver Collection of Newman Family Papers, circa 1875-2005, comprises a manuscript, writings, personal papers, facsimile photographs, church records, and correspondence related to George A. Newman (1855-1944), his daughter Ruby Newman Temple (1898-1983), his grandson Austin Gerald Harris (1941-2005), and Harrisonburg's Northeast Neighborhood and Newtown.","According to Ruth Toliver, George A. Newman's 480-page manuscript titled \"A Miserable Revenge: A story of life in Virginia\" is a work of fiction with autobiographical elements. The manuscript is divided into 40 chapters and begins: \"A finer estate than that of Joshua Sowers could not be found in all Virginia. We will not give the exact date, let it suffice for us to say we begin our story April the first, in a certain part of the nineteenth century. The morning was a clear, beautiful one. We locate the scene of our story in the county of Frederick, a short distance from the then small town of Winchester. The estate was rightly named Brookland, for the land was covered with brooks. Mr. Sowers owned a large mill.\" Newman introduces a character named William G. Reed as the hero of the story who is leaving Brookland for Chicago. While not explicitly discussed in the manuscript, it is presumed that both Sowers and Reed are white men. African American characters include Jack, Joshua Sowers's \"faithful servant;\" Aunt Sally, the Sowers' enslaved cook; and George, a free child who lived with Sowers. Researchers should note that the manuscript contains the use of racial slurs and further, the enslaved African American characters are depicted as speaking in a stereotypical dialect as was common practice in late 19th century American literature. George, on the other hand, \"had learned to read and write and he always spoke very fluently.\" ","The manuscript was published for the first time in 2025 by James Madison University Libraries Press Books and was edited by Mollie Godfrey, Brooks E. Hefner, Jeslyn Poole, and Evan Sizemore. The back cover book blurb provides the following context and summary:  \"In the mid-1870s, a young African American educator arrived in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he wrote a novel about antebellum life in the Shenandoah Valley. George A. Newman's A Miserable Revenge: A Story of Life in Virginia appears here in print for the first time, nearly 150 years after its composition. The earliest known example of a 'white life' novel--a Black-authored novel about white protagonists--A Miserable Revenge is set in and around Winchester, Virginia, in the 1840s. It draws on the sensationalist conventions of popular fiction of the time to spin a story of dark secrets, lost relatives, mistaken identities, crime and detection, and romance. In the novel, Newman describes the relationship between free and enslaved Black Virginians, drawing on his experience as a free Black child indentured to a white landowner in Winchester before the Civil War.\"","The manuscript pages are numbered in the same hand as the manuscript (George A. Newman's). The following pages are not extant and are missing from the manuscript entirely: pages 71-72, 76-82, 84, 267, 272-275, 289-291, and 375. Newman's page number for page 331 was torn away and at a later time was numbered as page 332, but contextual clues confirm that it is in fact page 331. The page was marked as such by the archivist and the incorrect page number was also retained. Only two pages are present between pages 346-349, and for both of the extant pages the page numbers are at least partially torn away rendering them illegible and their exact order unclear. The pages were kept in the order in which they were received with the exception of a few instances in which numbered pages were clearly misordered and were reordered by the archivist to reflect the accurate numerical page order.","While the manuscript is undated, writings potentially in Newman's hand and appearing on select verso pages date to 1875 and 1876. Editors of the published version of the manuscript date the document to mid-1870s. The aforementioned writings largely appear to be handwriting exercises or draft correspondence and also include a nine page essay titled \"An Essay on Truth\" which begins on the verso of page 391 continuing through page 409 on the odd page numbers with a few pages skipped. While undated, context clues within the essay, specifically an anecdote regarding New York Senator Roscoe Conkling recently returning from Europe, suggest a date of 1877. Internal evidence suggests that the remarks were likely given by Newman to the local order of the African American fraternal organization Independent Sons and Daughters of Purity, only identified in the essay by the abbreviation \"I. S. \u0026 D. P.\" and \"Sons \u0026 D. of P.\" In this same essay, Newman writes about having to keep his remarks brief due to an upcoming teacher's examination. All of the manuscript pages with writing on their versos were flagged by the archivist with a \"SEE VERSO\" slip of paper.","George Newman's speech \"Observations on the Negro Problem\" primarily concerns education with commentary on industrial education, choice of occupation, and a comparison of education funding for American Indian students vs. African American students. Newman also discusses the topic of African colonization of Black individuals as proposed by \"so-called statesmen and mis-named philanthropists.\" Newman argues \"It is paradoxical to speak of sending him to a place when he is already there. We are to the manor born. This is now our native home....\" Newman recognizes that certain voting laws that require meeting educational and property qualifications are examples of \"adverse legislation,\" but argues that they might be a \"blessing in disguise.\" Newman concludes with a call for an equitably educated citizenry regardless of status. Edits made to the speech suggest that it may have originally been written circa 1902 and presented again in 1913. As such, a date of 1913 is applied to the speech given the contextual clues within despite the document being undated. A draft transcript created by Special Collections staff is filed with the speech.","Twelve cardboard tri-folds compiled by Lowell Toliver include approximately 133 facsimile photographs documenting people and places in Newtown and Harrisonburg's Northeast Neighborhood. The photograph descriptions were also compiled by Toliver as was the thematic arrangement of each tri-fold. Family names of people identified in the photographs include Harper, Tolliver/Toliver, Sampson, Yokley, Newman, Bundy, Dallard, Temple, Vickers, Brown, Nickens, and Johnson. Local churches and schools include John Wesley Methodist Church, Bethel AME Church, Effinger Street School, and Simms School. Researchers should note that the surname Toliver is spelled variously as Tolover, Tolliver, etc. in the collection. Lowell Toliver's last name was changed slightly from Tolliver to Toliver when he enlisted in the military.","Six minute books document the financial and administrative functions of the John Wesley Methodist Church's Woman's Society of Christian Service (WSCS) between 1943 and 1976. Ruby Newman Temple served as WSCS's secretary for a period of time and kept monthly minutes for the society. Member lists and membership dues are also documented in the minute books. WSCS meetings typically included prayer, scripture reading, hymn singing, a business report, and a program or a topic of discussion. WSCS engaged in community outreach by providing Christmas baskets for the sick in the community, sending sympathy cards, and making charitable donations. The Ruby Newman Temple correspondence primarily relates to her work with WSCS. ","Other materials related to John Wesley Methodist Church include anniversary programs as well as member lists and a brief church history compiled by George Newman. Printed materials related to the United Methodist Church but not specific to John Wesley Methodist Church are also included. ","Four hand-colored sketches by George A. Newman, son of Frederick Newman (1883-1959) are dated August 28, 1929. ","Materials related to Gerald Harris largely concern his design of the turkey monuments that are located on the highway approaches into Harrisonburg and his schooling and coursework at Lucy F. Simms School, Banneker Junior High School, Theodore Roosevelt Senior High School, and Howard University. Report cards and tuition receipts are included. Of interest is a 1954 letter from A. M. Stitt, Lucy F. Simms School principal, certifying that Harris was vaccinated as well as Harris's polio vaccination card.","Materials created by Wendell Temple primarily comprise original handwritten sheet music for piano. Pieces specifically written for the organ, pianoforte, and violin are also included. The bulk of the sheet music is undated but likely dates to the mid-1930s to late 1940s. The compositions are in various states of completeness and order. Sheet music was written on lined notebook paper, blank pages of voter rolls for the 1928 presidential election, and the back of letterhead for the Castle Hall of Rockingham Star Lodge No. 72 Knights of Pythias and the Democratic Campaign Committee. Additional papers include correspondence from Temple to his mother Ruby Newman Temple and an Effinger High School report card.","Among the guests are Cuetta Howard, Valley Terrell, Hattie Washington, Phoebe Tolliver, and Julia Howard.","Pictured are Marguerite Yokley, Doris Harper, Lois Rouser, Altee Beale, Bessie Goodloe, Louise Winston, Lavinia Temple, Peggy Yokley, Buddy Tolliver, Bernice Tolliver, Betty Yokley, Clara Bruce, Savilla Vickers, Della Harper, Betty Atkins, Norma Edmonds, Selena Duncan, Eddie Caul, Phoebe Tolliver, Vallie Terrell, [unknown first name] Stitt.","Pictured are all of those in 4.

We will not give the exact date, let it suffice for us to say we begin our story April the first, in a certain part of the nineteenth century. The morning was a clear, beautiful one. We locate the scene of our story in the county of Frederick, a short distance from the then small town of Winchester. The estate was rightly named Brookland, for the land was covered with brooks. Mr. Sowers owned a large mill.\" Newman introduces a character named William G. Reed as the hero of the story who is leaving Brookland for Chicago. While not explicitly discussed in the manuscript, it is presumed that both Sowers and Reed are white men. African American characters include Jack, Joshua Sowers's \"faithful servant;\" Aunt Sally, the Sowers' enslaved cook; and George, a free child who lived with Sowers. Researchers should note that the manuscript contains the use of racial slurs and further, the enslaved African American characters are depicted as speaking in a stereotypical dialect as was common practice in late 19th century American literature. George, on the other hand, \"had learned to read and write and he always spoke very fluently.\" \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe manuscript was published for the first time in 2025 by James Madison University Libraries Press Books and was edited by Mollie Godfrey, Brooks E. Hefner, Jeslyn Poole, and Evan Sizemore. The back cover book blurb provides the following context and summary: \u003cblockquote\u003e\"In the mid-1870s, a young African American educator arrived in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he wrote a novel about antebellum life in the Shenandoah Valley. George A. Newman's A Miserable Revenge: A Story of Life in Virginia appears here in print for the first time, nearly 150 years after its composition. The earliest known example of a 'white life' novel--a Black-authored novel about white protagonists--A Miserable Revenge is set in and around Winchester, Virginia, in the 1840s. It draws on the sensationalist conventions of popular fiction of the time to spin a story of dark secrets, lost relatives, mistaken identities, crime and detection, and romance. In the novel, Newman describes the relationship between free and enslaved Black Virginians, drawing on his experience as a free Black child indentured to a white landowner in Winchester before the Civil War.\"\u003c/blockquote\u003e  \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe manuscript pages are numbered in the same hand as the manuscript (George A. Newman's). The following pages are not extant and are missing from the manuscript entirely: pages 71-72, 76-82, 84, 267, 272-275, 289-291, and 375. Newman's page number for page 331 was torn away and at a later time was numbered as page 332, but contextual clues confirm that it is in fact page 331. The page was marked as such by the archivist and the incorrect page number was also retained. Only two pages are present between pages 346-349, and for both of the extant pages the page numbers are at least partially torn away rendering them illegible and their exact order unclear. The pages were kept in the order in which they were received with the exception of a few instances in which numbered pages were clearly misordered and were reordered by the archivist to reflect the accurate numerical page order.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWhile the manuscript is undated, writings potentially in Newman's hand and appearing on select verso pages date to 1875 and 1876. Editors of the published version of the manuscript date the document to mid-1870s. The aforementioned writings largely appear to be handwriting exercises or draft correspondence and also include a nine page essay titled \"An Essay on Truth\" which begins on the verso of page 391 continuing through page 409 on the odd page numbers with a few pages skipped. While undated, context clues within the essay, specifically an anecdote regarding New York Senator Roscoe Conkling recently returning from Europe, suggest a date of 1877. Internal evidence suggests that the remarks were likely given by Newman to the local order of the African American fraternal organization Independent Sons and Daughters of Purity, only identified in the essay by the abbreviation \"I. S. \u0026amp; D. P.\" and \"Sons \u0026amp; D. of P.\" In this same essay, Newman writes about having to keep his remarks brief due to an upcoming teacher's examination. All of the manuscript pages with writing on their versos were flagged by the archivist with a \"SEE VERSO\" slip of paper.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eGeorge Newman's speech \"Observations on the Negro Problem\" primarily concerns education with commentary on industrial education, choice of occupation, and a comparison of education funding for American Indian students vs. African American students. Newman also discusses the topic of African colonization of Black individuals as proposed by \"so-called statesmen and mis-named philanthropists.\" Newman argues \"It is paradoxical to speak of sending him to a place when he is already there. We are to the manor born. This is now our native home....\" Newman recognizes that certain voting laws that require meeting educational and property qualifications are examples of \"adverse legislation,\" but argues that they might be a \"blessing in disguise.\" Newman concludes with a call for an equitably educated citizenry regardless of status. Edits made to the speech suggest that it may have originally been written circa 1902 and presented again in 1913. As such, a date of 1913 is applied to the speech given the contextual clues within despite the document being undated.

Materials include communiqués in which groups issued statements to the media, specifically to take credit for terror attacks; interviews with former and current group members; trainings and internal communcations; newsletters and publications; and indictments and court documents. Photographs and schematic diagrams of terror attacks are included. Examples of terror attacks documented include assassinations and attempted assassinations, kidnappings, plane hijackings, bombings, and suicide attacks. Specific terrorist attacks documented in these materials include September 11 (2001); the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland (1988); the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics; the assassination attempt of President George H. W. Bush by Iraqi Intelligence Service in Kuwait (1993); and many others too numerous to list.","There are organizations in this series that have similar goals, aims, and belief systems. In some cases, groups spawned from or merged into other groups, were renamed over time, issued joint statements, or issued statements in support of another group's activities.
