返校节，W&M风格：除了好玩什么都没有
There will be floats and food, games and galas, old friends and new frontiers, even some dancin’ in the streets.
It’s 回家coming, 2009, a perfect opportunity to revisit the College you knew and loved and immerse yourself with thousands who share that same sentiment.
回家coming will feature something old – the Tribe football team’s critical conference game against rival James Madison University. 它还将引入几个新项目。
Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. at Phi Beta Kappa Hall, the College’s modern dance company, Orchesis, will present faculty works performed by faculty, students and guest artists.
周五的亮点之一肯定是与W&M校长Taylor Reveley的对话，定于下午1:30在萨德勒中心的联邦礼堂举行。 President Reveley and other College administrators will address not only the challenges W&M faces, but the opportunities that lie ahead.
本周五下午6:30-8点，在雷恩大楼二楼，1984届毕业生将举行25周年校庆。
Meanwhile, just down the street at the Muscarelle Museum of Art will be Dancin’ in the Streets, featuring the eclectic music of Power Play. 活动时间从晚上7:30到11:30，还提供了参加第11届教师展的机会，展出来自艺术和历史系的工作室艺术家的作品。
Saturday following the 9 a.m. parade down Duke of Gloucester Street, Richmond Road and Brooks Street, coach Jimmye Laycock’s fifth-ranked Tribe take on JMU. 2007年FCS全国冠军本赛季取得了不寻常的2胜4负。
与此同时，部落队5胜1负，这是他们自1994年以来的最佳开局。 They’re coming off a bye week, should be well-rested and prepared to present the Dukes with some new tricks.
In addition to its usually potent offense, W&M boasts one of the nation’s top defensive units this season. 部落队在全国排名第11位，在全国排名第二，场均只丢了64.8码。
Among the W&M players to keep an eye on are All-American defensive end Adrian Tracy, who boasts 5½ sacks and 8½ tackles behind the line of scrimmage in three conference games.
Then there’s cornerback B.W. Webb, sixth in the nation in interceptions with four.
在进攻端，四分卫R.J.阿彻一直表现得很稳定。 阿彻在CAA总进攻中排名第二，场均跑动和投球能跑2417亿码。 在过去的四场比赛中，阿彻完成了近67%的传球。
二年级的跑卫乔纳森·格莱姆斯在全联盟的全能码和冲刺码中排名第二。 他的21次接球是联盟跑卫的最高纪录。
JMU的防守也很坚固，在联盟中排名第三，在全国排名第25。 The Dukes have the nation’s sixth-best pass defense, allowing just 143 yards through the air.
Be forewarned: if you don’t have your tickets for the game yet, you’re going to need a lot of help. 这场比赛的门票已经正式售罄，这几周以来，这张票一直是城里最热门的门票之一。
然而，这场比赛将在校园的几个地方进行现场直播。 校友会宿舍将在五台电视上转播比赛，这些电视散布在整个宿舍里。 萨德勒中心（Sadler Center）将用两台大屏幕电视播放这一活动； 一个在二楼的大厅，另一个在一楼的1号房间。
此外，这个周末校园里还有很多其他的体育赛事。 On Friday night at 5:30 p.m., the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams play host to Mary Washington. At 7 p.m. the same night, the women’s soccer team faces George Mason at Albert-Daly Field, while the women’s volleyball team meets Northeastern.
On Saturday, the College’s men’s soccer team, the highest-scoring team, in the Colonial Athletic Association, plays host to conference foe Hofstra at Albert-Daly Field. The women’s volleyball team continues a busy weekend with another match, also against Hofstra.
On Sunday at 2 p.m., women’s soccer is home to Towson.
