Hardt's email today says this about our basketball season:
"While the team’s results have been uneven, its work ethic, preparation, and attention to detail have been steady, and the most important stretch of the season — which ends with the A-10 Championship in Washington, DC, site of UR’s 2022 Atlantic 10 title — is yet to come."

I guess that's another way to say: "We're 5-14 against D1 competition after giving another extension to our CFL."

He came out of hibernation? Thought we had another six weeks to go.

The great thing about the portal and coaching hires these days is you pick up a new coach you are likely getting a couple of his best players too.

I know it is not going to happen but this would be the perfect time to get rid of Mooney. We have no players on the roster where if they leave, that would be considered some type of huge loss. Not 1.

Get a new hungry coach have him bring in a bunch of players through the portal. 1You have will have an entirely different energy at the RC next year. Maybe a new coach gets the student body re-engaged. Maybe our fan base isn't disengaged and divided after 20 years of the same ole, same ole. Hell, maybe he demands our marketing department spell shit correctly.

That gets me excited just thinking about some young, new hungry coach coming here, wanting to make his mark. I know it isn't happening because we are stuck with Coach for Life but if a man can't dream, what else does he have.

does consistently bad mean uneven?

Even would make more sense.

I guess he has to say something about the Men's team. But if what he said were true, we wouldn't be in last place in the A-10 either.

Having watched VCU play a few times, this is by far the biggest difference between us and them. They play with an intensity on both end of the courts that is on a different level than ours. Obviously, their talent and roster is also on a different level than the one Moomey has assembled for us.

If this is anything other than a complete waxing of us, it is only because Odom calls off the dogs at the end on his buddy Mooney. After all, he wants Mooney at UR for as long as possible as well, just like every other VCU fan does.

GWIII did fine.

that's a bit of a low bar for "fine" ... going 0-1 with 2 fouls and a turnover in 8 minutes.
did have a rebound and an assist, but I can't remember if he did anything special for those.

I mean, until last night they were ripping through the CAA (for whatever that's worth). They were 7–1 with only loss being to a solid UNCW squad.

The Tribe dropped 25 spots in the NET based on last night's drubbing...186 down to 211.

so Campbell would beat us by 47 points if my math is correct 😏

Also, when I saw this thread pop up in the notifications my initial thought was "oh maybe W&M is ripping through their conference and looking really good and it wasn't such a bad loss after all! Then *SURPRISE* 96-55

Might have been a fundamental reason as to our getting out.Meaning PL will opt out.

My thoughts as well. How long before we do this with the other sports is my question.

Cime on tbone, we know mastermindmooney gave Mcgeehan the gameplan, which he figured out during and after our own game.

In reality this hasn’t been a rivalry for a long time, mainly because we haven’t held up our end of the bargain.

We will likely lose badly with this game being over within the first 10 mins. This game matters to them, they hate us and it’s just another game where we want to compete.

Our entire mentality with that school from our administration is “please don’t hurt us.”

Until we match their intensity, we will continue to yield the same results.

I don’t know what will wake up these genius’ how irrelevant we are when it comes to this game.

Which Spider graduates were the ones to reach the highest levels of governance in the United States, among either of the 3 branches of the US government? What was his or her position?

Was curious after your question.

With federal government, UR has had 1 senator, Absalom Robertson class of 1966. UR has had numerous House of Representatives.

With state government, we’ve had 2 governors of Virginia and 2 alums who have served on Supreme Court of Virginia, one of whom was chief justice.

Including adjunct professors: James Comey was 7th FBI director and Tim Kaine was governor, senator, chair of democratic national committee, and VP candidate for 2016 Democratic Party.

McGeehan didn’t have much trouble with the Tribe tonight…

I wouldn't go so far as to say we have nothing on our roster, but it's definitely bleak. I think AP has some potential but he'd really have to recalibrate his game to be way more aggressive on offense than he is currently. Similar feeling about both Walz and Soulis. Beagle doesn't excite me much.

I've lost my mojo on Mikkel, kinda liked him last year, not sure why it feels so regressive this season.

Backcourt is a glaring hole for sure. Please send help.

Like you I thought Tyne was playing well at end of last season. But he is not a point guard . Fluid is
not in his vocabulary and his mind and body are not in sync. Love his hustle but just not an A10 caliber guard.

Don’t sweat it Woody, I won’t tell anyone. I promise.😎

Thanks for the advice, KE. You are correct, its been less than 2 weeks and already feels like 4 years. Hopefully my heart meds will mitigate the outrage that I feel with having this pathetic excuse for a leader running our country.
