We actually thought there was a better crowd today than there was for Family Weekend.

They’ve been catering to the northeast elite for generations.

What a dreadful performance. The program should be ashamed.

Totally agree. I think they started their bye on Friday instead of Sunday.

King just scored a TD. It is now 10-7. If we can't dominate NC A&T, we have no reason to look down our noses at them. You can sleep on teams in the Patriot League, but not in the CAA.

There's 7 teams in the Patriot League that could beat NCAT. The issue is with Richmond's play not the PL.

But didn't u define the casual fan - through Brooklyn post - as someone not donating? so why would that fan all of sudden get a $400 membership when they previously didn't donate & normally just attend a few or more games a year. I contend they won't. that's why this being for the casual fan is a little confusing. if we can get the casual fan to do it...awesome. we'll do much better. I'd say if the casual fan is willing to do this we would have been killing it more with Spider Club too in the past and we really weren't imo.

btw I'm not against what you're proposing w a collective membership. I just don't see casual fans doing it. I think it would be for UR supporters who are definitely more than casual but on more of a budget.

If we were more succssful as a program we could convert casual fans into more serious fans and that would help down the road theoretically.

Casual fans might not be donating because they see no return. Calling them on the phone and asking them to give $400 and get nothing back but maybe a sticker to put on their car, they won't do it. But maybe, just maybe - you sell a membership, and now the casual fan sees it as they are getting something back. They get the "opportunity" to attend events, meet players, coaches, etc. - all while paying for a membership, which is really a donation to the Collective.

On a side note - any chance these collectives get thrown out the window in a few years and the NCAA just says - no outside money allowed, but schools - go ahead and pay the athletes, and pay them as much or little as you want. Do you think that would make it better or worse than current state?

Ouch. 2 drops on well thrown balls. Need D to hold

DTSpider · Oct 5, 2024

Its minor but never ceases to amaze me that the scoreboard always has something inaccurate

72Spider · Oct 5, 2024

Matt Mr. "We can just find more fans" Smith has called out the Spider supporters for failing to attend the home games. Perhaps more introspection needs to be focused on the AD and FB program. Or maybe just find some more fans?

DTSpider · Oct 5, 2024

Redzone offense is stale. Need teams to respect that we may throw it. Give Cam the keys.

DTSpider · Oct 5, 2024

Time to see us break away. A couple fluky plays hurt us in the first half. We have superior talent, just a very young team on the field.

It is not crowded today. A&T brought a decent crowd. We need to clean house.

Gallipoli · Oct 5, 2024

It makes no sense to move to the Patriot League, where costs will not decrease. Also, how would costs, including NIL costs, to increase by staying in the CAA. In fact, expect travel costs to increase in the PL....

Unless this presages a move to D-3....

King just scored a TD. It is now 10-7. If we can't dominate NC A&T, we have no reason to look down our noses at them. You can sleep on teams in the Patriot League, but not in the CAA.

Gallipoli · Oct 5, 2024

This is the future of Richmond football. We are favored by 3 touchdowns, but we are down by 10 points.

72Spider · Oct 5, 2024

Same ole shit. Plain vanilla offense, can't pick up short first down on two running attempts and poor defense. Down 0-10 in second quarter.

Your guys conference record is 66-121 and the school, despite being a Big10 member since its inception in the 1800's and benefitting from all the advantages and resources that come along with that, didn't make their first NCAA tournament until 2017.

Super Impressive.

Your guys? Closest I’ve ever been to Northwestern is Chicago.
I am saying that Northwestern is a good school and Collins does a good job coaching.
They are the Vanderbilt of the Big-10.
Maybe you should post a billboard there. “Please play us in OOC games!”

Graham has been getting a lot of play in videos posted, I was wondering about that and now this report seems to back those up. If he's a shooter and has the quickness, can he force his way onto the court? Very crowded guard situation so maybe not as much this year, but after DLo and B. Artis graduate? Could be.

spider23 · Oct 5, 2024

Agree 8legs, they have been terrible.

FEMA spending is controlled by the House of Representatives. Who runs the House? Why is it in recess? Why hasn't the speaker called it back into session to pass an emergency spending bill? Why do the Republicans hate America?

Appreciate the great details Sec9 and urfan for those of us who could not be in attendance. If either of you ever get bored of your day jobs, maybe Spiders beat writer could be a good idea to pivot to 😉
