With respect, total BS. Faulty hyper partisan distorted info. Entire agreement was conditional on each party honoring the agreed upon conditions. May was never a hard and fast date on its own President Biden was not bound by it, but wanted to show his brilliance by exiting a war he never supported, even when President Obama surged in 30.000 troops in 2009 while Biden was VP. Wanted this withdrawal to show he more savvy than Obama. Who would you choose on intelligence?

No US casualties in 18 months before withdrawal.....but 13 dead at Abbey Gate on Biden's watch. A disgrace. A total disgrace that need not have happened.

2024–25 schedule

putting all trust and faith in those 2 games when they remain unconfirmed and being reactive in not pushing on other options if those teams don’t commit on our timeline just seems like a basic level plan failure. Per the language someone posted here, Hardt sure did make it sound like we were just waiting and got stood up.

I’d give the benefit of the doubt if it was one game but by our AD’s comments this is more than one instance. Yeah we prob got screwed but it’s not like the rest of the known schedule is gangbusters or that we had low level P5 games already in hand. Or high level non P5 games even. We have nothing of note.

Also, lastly, this is their job(s). If Moon and the gang need the Glengarry leads, they should remember the other prizes.

I agree Biden could have done a much better job on the actual withdrawal and that was a black eye to US world image. We also sent very muddled (at best) signals to the world with our handling of the "negotiations" of the withdrawal. There was no involvement of the Afghan government that culminated in the release of 5k Taliban against the wishes of that government. The terms the Taliban agreed to had no enforcement provisions. Beyond that, don't forget the glamorous look of inviting (thankfully aborted) the Taliban to Camp David.

I’m genuinely curious, what more would you like our scheduling staff to do when a team won’t schedule us? From the sounds of it, 2 teams (likely top teams) didn’t finish the contract when the ball was in their court. Suppose Auburn was one of the teams who didn’t follow through with the contract on their end. How could we help change that and how do you know we didn’t try?

If I had to rank our schedules the past 15 years, last years would like be around average. I have said and still maintain that if we beat Boston College, Wichita State, & Northern Iowa we would be in the thick of the bubble conversation. I don’t think our schedule itself is what kept us from an at-large, it was the lack of results that kept us out. 8-5 isn’t going to cut it for an at-large.

Wood, now you are on a roll. Believe off base on several comments, but appreciate the fervor of your opinions.

Can't get into an extended discussion tonight, but failing to recognize the disastrous consequences of our withdrawal from Afghanistan strikes me as shortsighted. Agree, it was time to leave, but how we left sent a signal to the World and maintaining a security presence at Bagram, as recommended unanimously by our security agencies, was a no brainer. Even Biden should have recognized that. Well, maybe a stretch, but give him the benefit of the doubt.

What are these "disastrous consequences" you allude to? Saving lives? Saving money? Getting TF out of a place we could never succeed in?

Again, please give me any sane reason to maintain any presence in that country.

If you think Putin doesn't invade Ukraine because we have 2500 soldiers in Afghanistan, you're mistaken. Badly.

Now please defend Trump's abhorrent conduct at Arlington, willfully breaking Federal law.

Yes and whether I think they were the best schedule for us or not, or whether we could/should still go “all out” even more than that are different discussions. I am simply trying to articulate that we have had a lot of very strong schedules over the years and when you made comments like “When u regularly give out unnecessary contract extensions like free candy u can get a lack of urgency or motivation” or “Maybe we r still using fax machines for our contracts & we r staring at the fax all day. Oh no guys we’re out of paper” or “24 year job security, Queally with more time on his hands now using NIL to get us recruits, you’d think actually reasons to go after it with hard national type schedule. Nope” makes it seem like we did not make an effort nor care about our OOC schedule this year (please correct me if I’m wrong). At the end of the day, I think several things didn’t go our way and we ended up with a less than optimal schedule, due to a variety of factors, several of which were beyond our control. It’s disappointing but hopefully - given our history - an aberration.

I know u think we have very strong schedules. I answered spiderman above...I think more challenging is better, occasionally we do, but not nearly enough imo. And that has been the crux of this thread amongst some of us.

Richmond's NET OOC SOS was 179 last season. Is that "very good" to you?

Thank you for appreciating my facsimile joke.

2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - Virginia Cavaliers

Login to view embedded media
the game against Virginia on Saturday is a fun game for most players, coaches and fans…and the $450K they pay us for the bus ride isn’t too shabby either!

I will be surprised and disappointed if we are not competitive versus rebuilding Virginia who was picked to finish 16th in the 17 team ACC…last I read the Spiders were 19.5 underdogs…a UR upset would be a college football shocker in most circles, but some savvy pundits have the Spiders on their FCS v. BCS upset alert list!

coach Huesman’s been in a lot of these FCS v. BCS games…he discussed what had to happen for the Spiders to battle the Cavs and give ourselves the best chance to win…1) take care of the ball 2) no stupid penalties 3) go to the ball and get the runner on the ground and 4) no QB scramble first downs…that’s a lot to get right and it still might not be enough…we’ll probably need some help from the Cavs too!

the 2016 Cavs were the last BCS win for the Spiders…that squad went on to earn a place in the FCS Playoffs…while in 2011 after defeating Duke in our BCS game the squad went on to an 0-8 CAA season…regardless of how this one turns out conclusions about our team might be hard to draw…it's just a fun game for most folks!

in an interview earlier this week Coach Elliott described the Spiders team heading for C-Ville very well...he warned his team and the public we were coming to win!

let’s hope we give Virginia our best on Saturday night and see where we are at the final gun…that could make for a fun game, knowing that regardless of how it turns out our real season begins on September 7…

enjoy the Prologue…

Go Spiders!

lol those are the schedules of ours I've been promoting (u took from a prior post of mine I'm sure) and a lot of ppl like u have said no it's too many, we need those H&H mid major games and extra home cupcake regardless. yeah, those are good. There is a step above them tho, where u can go all out. So in 20 years I think u could try the "all out" way at least once. But I'd take those older ones for sure.

What would you say about our schedule in 2019-2020 when we played Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, Auburn, Alabama, Boston College or 2009-2010 where we played Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina, Florida, Wake Forest or 2010-2011 where we played Purdue, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Seton Hall, Wake Forest.
