2024 Presidential Election

Long Time, I understand how you could arrive at that view.

Most uncomfortable in seemingly defending someone I consider unfit for office and for whom I have not voted for the past two elections, but believe in a fair, factual based narrative. See the TDS folks, which I mistakenly denied existed for a long time, as waaay over the top. Hate blinding rational judgment and denying facts.

Hard to make someone as flawed as Trump into a martyr, but through unfettered, unsubstantiated (largely), unrelenting, and unseemly attacks the Left did that while offending over half the citizenry. The fruits of this mistaken tack resulted in Trump's election.

Continue to champion your views, but tone down the hatred or going to continue to lose. Calling those with different views, Nazis, fascists, deplorables, garbage, etc, etc, ain't a winning strategy.

Also, I thought Marist was a lot better team than people give credit. They have athletes and certainly could shoot.
Right, they actually looked to have better size and athleticism at most positions. And that is scary. My worst fears about this team have surfaced in preseason and regular season. Hoping I am wrong, or it's going to be a long A$$ season.

Hoping Glou can be a guy. Neskovic can be consistent offensive threat and solid on D. Soulis develops, and a second guard steps up next to Hunt. It can happen but I think between the schedule and Mooney's victory lap the motivation may not be at the level required.

Dji entering the portal

LSU looked real rough for much of the game and was down by 8 or so at halftime but came back against "Bama State" and won by 13 / Dji likely was in for 32+ min and seems to basically be the defacto team captain - 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4/6 fg, 7-10 fts. They are going to need to be much better on Thurs vs Kansas State.

Mens: Marist Game Thread @ RC: Sat 11/9 6pm ESPN+

I was at the game last night. From the start their center (#24) nailed 3 pointers & showed he was a good shooter. And like in many previous years, Mooney failed to adapt, and the guy kept shooting threes. Why wouldn't he as he wasn't covered by defense. He lit up 15 in the first half, and I think 5 in the second half. Good player.

On the other hand, one of my biggest concerns last year was Walz not shooting enough or even looking for shots. Everything I've read preseason indicated this season would be different, and maybe it will be. But last night it wasn't. He looked like his job was to distribute. He wasn't looking to shoot even when there were opportunities. He shot one time all night, and that's not going to cut it from the center position. We need points from him. It did look like Beagle was at least attempting to get to the goal. We def need more out of the center position.

I did see a stretch in the first half when our defense amped it up. That's needed. Also, I thought Marist was a lot better team than people give credit. They have athletes and certainly could shoot.

On to the next game.

2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponents Countdown - Towson

I thought a 2 or 3 story parking deck on the lot between the RC and ball field with additional top floor being the indoor practice facility (could be large enough to provide areas for almost all sports including a running track for all teams) add sky boxes on baseball side for revenue generation makes sense. Could be designed to solve all campus, football, basketball, baseball and lacrosse parking issues. And designed so there is a particular reserved area for game day tailgating, larger spaces etc, and game day charge for those, generate more revenue and create more of a community within fanbase. Run a shuttle before and after game for older fans.

2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponents Countdown - Towson

Saw today, 11/10, that Towsonis going to spend 12million on an indoor facility for both basketball and and
football (probably lacrosse too) .
I think we should be thinking about an indoor facility for our field games. The Quealy center is wonderful,
for indoor games; obviously, basketball.
But to keep up with the Jones, we need to consider another facility where our football, top national quality
lacrosse program, as well as our ladies lacrosse, field hockey and soccer
Don’t we have another billionaire donor with a son or daughter that needs one of these?
