"let's go across the city....or as the vcu fans will insist....across the county".

also called Dusan and B Artis red flag guys...guys u wouldn't bring into an established offense normally because they came from terrible offensive teams. i dont think they meant it that badly but interesting take.

they r eager to see how Walz/Beagle dynamic works out. need to find guys to shoot the 3. Think we might play abnormally long. Tho hard to do with 4 small guards.

view Delonnie Hunt as only all A10 caliber guy right now, lot of question marks, they don't think our floor is too low like bottom 4-5 but also see lot of question marks & need to hit on some transfers.

btw the 2nd guys voice...nails on a chalkboard....but still better than Jeff Goodman

yeah, crazy timing. Goodman seems to be speculating that it has something to do with NIL, but I don't see it. the NIL stuff really shouldn't be all that difficult to deal with.

might be as simple as he's burnt out, and he thought he'd have the fire back by the time the season started, but he really wasn't enjoying it anymore. happens sometimes. and while the pay is great, you might look at your account and say "I really don't need more. It's not worth it to me."

He more or less says NIL here imo without using that exact language...

2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - Delaware

this is one of the series I will miss from the Yankee and CAA years...there have been some legendary games over the years, particularly in the CAA years...I can't forget 2007, 2009, 2013, 2017 and 2022...except for 2017 they were all Spiders victories!

Saturday most likely closes the series forever...let's hope the game lives up to some of its predecessors and gives Spiders' fans another good memory...

the once mighty Blue Hens were favored the last thing I read, and I don't think many folks who've seen Richmond's inconsistent play so far these season are surprised...Delaware, ineligible for the FCS Playoffs is playing each game as their Championship game...they are on a roll...but like the Spiders they have played a weak FCS schedule...They were tested by respectable Penn and Monmouth teams...

Coach Huesman said earlier this week Richmond has not played our best game yet...let's hope we've been saving it for Saturday!...I can't think of a finer way than to win this lame duck bowl and hopefully kick off a strong second half of the season...

calling on the 2007 spirit of Ward, Hightower, Vaughan, Sidbury and McBride to show up at The Brick House Saturday!...they rose to the occasion and refused to lose!

enjoy the prologue...

Go Spiders!

Football to Patriot League. Should basketball and rest of sports be concerned?

Trap, what you'e asking about is absolutely happening. Just not through collectives.

athletes are paid for the eyeballs that follow them. so a great women's field hockey player needs to work outside the lines to have a huge social media following. businesses see the value in signing them if they have enough followers. they actually pay more to great players with big followings than they would to advertise on ESPN because these followers are a very targeted audience for their product.

I don't expect it to happen through collectives - but its hard to say how much and how big it is happening because these NIL numbers, even from private companies are so secretive. Schools and Players don't have to disclose what players are receiving what money from what sources? and vice versa - the big name brands don't have to disclose either, and most do not.

I agree its happening and should be happening. For the best women's college lacrosse player in the NCAA - this is their time to make money. But you are right - they need a social following. If they can do that - then someone will pay them to post on instagram or tiktok their latest equipment, fashion, etc.

Just a quick glance over a few of their top teams non-conference highlights. I didnt dig too deep into potential MTE matchups unless it was already there on the schedule:

UNLV- Memphis, Mississippi State (MTE), Butler OR Northwestern (MTE), Creighton, Dayton
-
Colorado State- Ole Miss, Washington (MTE), TCU OR Santa Clara (MTE), Colorado, VCU
-
Utah State- Iowa (MTE), Bonnies, St Marys, South Florida
-
SDSU- Gonzaga, Cal, Texas A&M + Oregon + Creighton (all 3 MTE)
-
New Mexico- UCLA, St Johns, Arizona State (MTE), Saint Marys OR USC (MTE), VCU
-
Nevada- Washington, Vanderbilt (MTE), Seton Hall OR VCU (MTE), Washington State
-
Boise State- Clemson, San Francisco, Washington State, St Marys, possible second round matchup in their MTE with Duqesne and possible third round with Boston College. They seem to be the only ones that didn't end up in an upper tier MTE.

Pretty damn strong overall. :oops:
