Unfortunately, I missed the 2009 game in person. I had been diagnosed with swine flu and was instructed to be no closer than 15' from another person. Strange thing I felt no worse than a case of mild flu. I did consider going and sitting on Tribe side.

All time great game. Got to catch it home on break from school. Wish we could still generate atmospheres like this.

For me the 1998 game is what got me hooked on UR football. Before that I had only been to a handful of games (95 JMU homecoming was most memorable up until this point). But my dad (who hated sports and thought it was a waste) took me to the game and remember a packed house for the game where we just absolutely destroyed the Tribe behind RVA legend Jimmie Miles. Was so upset that the one time our family was out of town for thanksgiving it would be that were hosting a playoff game, got home to see the highlights and was disgusted we lost that game.

The 2008 game was also a classic. Another game I got to catch being home on break and remember walking out of that stadium thinking that was the highlight of the season....little did I know it was the beginning of IMO the most special run in Spider athletics history.

Siena +27 Xavier

Smart choice.

If you can't do the simple things well, how likely is it that you can do the more difficult well? This is what most concerns me.

Totally agree, plus I bet they throw deep on the first play from scrimmage.

Most Republicans in the Senate think the choices of Gaetz, Gabbert and Kennedy for the positions Trump has nominated them for are ridiculous.

Click to expand...

Gaetz is a poor choice, but he will clean house at DOJ. This one is Trump trolling the opposition at its best.
Gabbert is a poor choice (maybe), unless she takes her job seriously.
Kennedy maybe an OK choice, if he cleans up our food. One could certainly object to the obsessive shaming and firings over COVID Vaxes and school shutdowns. Most of the American public is sick of the politicization of science- follow the science.
Hegseth is a poor choice, although he may be a good leader. The leadership in the Army is more interested in forcing woke policies on the rank and file than in fighting wars.

There have been a lot of thoughtful opinions about the unsuitability of these four.

But back to the communication above. It's crazy. It's so bad, it's like they have a memo to put out bad content in order to de-emphasize the program. Ugghh. Thinking Maine money line now.

Walz - Has a concussion
White - Has a large social media following

Have bettors not seen us play yet?

Click to expand...

No, and neither have we…

Any thoughts on health of Walz or White?

And I do feel like we are forcing outside shots. As in all outside shooters are still in motion when they shoot.
Hoping that changes sometime.

There is obviously a W&M person there to steal the trophy. How else does one account for the yellow and green vehicle parked beside the trophy. Theft is the #1 (only?) means of W&M getting the coveted trophy.

Parsons made its bones by admitting anyone who applied, early in the Vietnam War era when a student deferment kept you out of the draft. When that went away, so did Parsons.

Looks like our PR department is already in mid-season form - this is from the digital program for tonight's game.

The photo might be worse. He looks like a headmaster at an all-male prep boarding school but is actually a child predator in disguise.

Catching up on Gilly's performance from last night and he seems to have found his assist machine form from last season...13 dimes to go along with 7 points and no turnovers in a win over Windy City.

Look for London to reach into his bags of tricks. He loves the gadget plays.

Was there at '81 game, too. Redden rushed for 280 yards. He was the offense.

I was there as well. Tear a way jerseys were the thing in those days and Redden went through a box of them that day.

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.

It's all relative. Everybody else gets stronger too. Mooney changes nothing so other teams will be prepared. It's going to be a rough ride.
