Refreshing and heartening. The Left has rediscovered religion.

Only 30% of the people in this country follow any sort of organized religion. It's hardly just Democrats.

If (I'm being generous) we're stuck with Mooney, can we at least bring back "Charlotte game" moonman?...

Click to expand...

I would love for Mooney to be as fiery as he was pre-Charlotte game. He learned a lesson with that game that if his sideline antics didn't match what his minders at UR wanted a UR coach to act like, that could hurt his long term employment prospects here. So, no way is he going to back being like that.

Competence and accountability ...

He has every right to fire her. He does not have the right to demand she leave her lodgings with three hours' notice, as military protocol gives her a 60-day window.

Yes, let's talk about accountability.

Retired Adm. Karl Schultz, who served as commandant until June 2022 when Fagan took over, made the decision to bury the Operation Fouled Anchor report.

But he's a white male, so he gets off scott-free.

Don't go here. How many innocent US citizens have been murdered, raped, robbed, drugged to death by Biden illegals?

Probably not anywhere near as many who were murdered, raped, robbed, drugged to death by Reagan/Bush 1/Bush 2/Trump 1 illegals. Do you seriously think illegal immigration started on Jan. 21, 2020? Or ended on Jan. 21 of this year?

Keep the positive outlook. The future is bright.

They're making it sound like we were right in so many games and could have a bunch more wins, when in reality we blew a bunch of those games ourselves.

Yeah, I guess that is angle. But that is a terrible angle. Only losing teams would advertise and promote close losses as some type of metric to be proud of. I wish I could remember the other teams on this list but assuredly they all suck too.

Gossett and another NFL punter Mike Bragg developed their kicking skills at UR...it may have had something to do with the Spiders' offense during their time that wasn't always the strongest...they got a lot of game experience!

it's always sad when one of your childhood memories passes on...RIP

Go Spiders!

do they put that in the game notes or something else?

in 15 losses at VCU we've lost 1 game by 7 points or less. 1. by exactly 7 points. Put that stat up against anyone. top 1. worst rivalry coach of all time.

Yeah, I believe so. A buddy showed it to me. We had a good laugh as our marketing team had to put something in the game notes and some idiot chose that stat. However, since we are indeed tracking it internally, I wonder if we can hang banner next year. 2024 Number 1 team in the country in losses by 7 points or less. Put it right next to Gilly's steal records.

Of course, Mooney is gonna have to step it up here, getting his ass handed to him by 41 at VCU, ain't helping us lock this down. I've got confidence in him though, if there is one thing he is really good at, it's losing tight games down the stretch. Kind of his specialty, if you will.

As much unearned and undeserved salary as we have already gifted him he should say pay me 3 dollars a year (one dollar for every NCAA trip) and lets sink the rest into NIL money and see if I can get this thing rolling.

It appears from that info graphic that we are near the bottom of the entire NCAA . I don't know if anyone saw the program, a few weeks back but this is what our crack marketing team put in it.

Richmond is among the Top 5 teams in the country in losses by 7 points or less. It listed the other teams, as if this was some big competition that we were fighting it out to be number 1. Can't make this shit up if you tried.

I can see schools lowering coaching contracts for more money for the players. Sort of how the NBA coaches make less than the players, in time - that will likely happen on the college level for some schools.

We should be the first. Give some of Mooney's largess to the players. Of course, he would blow it on shitty ones who don't fit our system.

Believe a men's unit this year will be worth around $2 million, paid out over 6 years.

As 204and5 notes, this is the first year women's teams will earn units, with payouts based on this year's performance coming in 2026. With a $15 million pool and I believe 132 units to be distributed, each unit would be worth around $113k, paid out over a shorter 3-year period.

The pool bumps to $20 million next year and $25 million the year after, then settles into a smaller percentage-based annual bump.

One unit pays a significant portion of the program overhead for a year. Making NCAA should be an economic goal each year
