OOC Grade is in!!! No surprise, it's an F

I agree with 8legs1dream I don't care what the Bonnies AD does or how views anything there. I'm not a stakeholder of St Bonaventure that is up to them, I am a stakeholder of Richmond.

But if u r suggesting the difference of resources btw UR & Bona is similar to UR & VCU I call bs. like mr. spider I don't get that comparison honestly. Go to Olean check it out.

This idea that VCU has all the advantages over UR? Sorry that is little Ol' Richmond mentality. Their biggest advantage is an expectation & accountability to winning = CULTURE. But we have that ability if we wanted. They have a much bigger fanbase as result of much bigger school which is an advantage. It probably ends there. Sure they can admit anyone too & I get that argument. But many would say we can get guys who would never consider VCU. But the resources r overblown. Literally we're both in Richmond. We have more $ if we wanted to dedicate even more of it to bball. We have a much better arena. Better education. Better campus. A better bball history before VCU took off w things. A big head start on a better conference of A10. Less skinny jeans, eyebrow piercings and crack cocaine.

I still remember SpiderTrap once saying if u decide to run a marathon with 1 shoe that's your fault nobody else. Funny line. A blue bird out of Trap, but every once in a while he hits. Literally the only thing we can't control is size of school/size of fanbase.

Is Xavier complaining about how much better Cincinnati has it? idk but I highly doubt it.
All of this. Our main limitation at UR is a self-imposed one from leadership that does strive nor demand for anything better. A small vision will always lead to limited results.

Opening Night Lineup - Just for fun

I do think the Spiders will be able to play better and the players will show improvement. We also should know that the schedule is a reflection of the staff’s expectations. The schedule is always “adjusted”. How soon I forget.
agreed. I think the schedule (if intentionally weak) reflects the thinking that it might take some time, but we could be strong by January. we'll struggle through it early but beat bad teams. it's not about being battle tested as much as finding the "flow".

nobody expected this team to shoot 26% from 3 though.
