Ugh, wasted opportunity.

Oh My

Garcia going to wake up in a cold sweat about that on tonight. Kind of shocking as he does not miss many.

This is brutal to watch. Can't get anything going, shooting ourselves in the foot, and struggling to make tackles.

DSU is winning 7-0 and driving.

million dollar arm, ten cent brain.

Glad Coleman is in but no Nick, plus Huesman clueless in handling a gunslinger. Not sure about this one.

"Mojo mug" great line ...... and to add to that in positive upbeat way......appreciate the time and effort mojo/satchmo in making these insightful posts.........................

TC Williams once had the highest pass rate in the state. It got away from teaching fundamental law towards more woke courses. Like the rest of UR, it watered down its curricula.

Yes when I graduated (Low Review-we used to take the unfinished Down Under Keg home to empty), TCW had the highest Va Bar pass rate. I don’t think it was even close enough to question. I have no knowledge of the current curriculum. Last time in the building I got totally lost so that part has changed.
Side note- last exam period 3rd year, buddy rented a certain Linda Lovelace movie and a small group us of beer drinking low reviewers watched it in a basement study room. I recall the shocked faces of the law reviewers peering through the window taking a break from their studying.
As much as law school $@#@%* , we did have some highlights.
There was also an Incredible Hulk tee shirt that was passed around to wear under your shirt and to take the bar exam. Those who wore it passed the bar the first time. Yep worked for me!

I have no knowledge of that but I don’t dismiss it either, would not surprise me if played a role. Tho my guess is the declining quality of admitted students more likely. Mush into mush. Old Pres. Cooper finally vindicated? Think applies a little more these days to post grad like law & med schools in particular.

For example they changed a full year of property law to a watered down property law with a heavy emphasis on environmental law in one semester.

Love the Spider flag rippling in the wind at the undisclosed location. Hard to do, but even more appealing than the Mojo mug to which we have become accustomed.

Go Spiders!

The CAA was a great football conference. It has been run worse than any other conference and now is middling at best. It’s oversized and has way too many weak teams. I’m not saying the Patriot is great but there’s not a huge delta amongst any of the FCS east coast conferences currently.

Agree with everything here. It's twice the size of the PL so all being equal it should get twice the participants in the playoffs. If the CAA gets 4 the PL should get two. I think the PL is trending up and the CAA down. CAA hope that Nova doesn't follow Richmond.

Particularly hard to schedule on the road.

with B10 and A10 talent, you'd think they'd do better than 14-18 last year. maybe there were injuries.

Horrible coaching, which thankfully was resolved after the season.

ChatGPT could have probably done a better job this season than they did.

we should hire a bracketologist to tell us who to schedule. just spit balling.

I agree the CAA is much better football conference than Patriot. And from a fan and athletic perspective - its a better fit.

Put it this way - I bet if you told the administration at UR they had 2 options and had to pick one.

1) Be compared to Ivy League schools and be proclaimed the Ivy League or Princeton of the South.
2) Drop slightly in our current rankings as school

I think they pick 1. Hence - the reason they decided to move football to the Patriot league.

To put it kindly, UR does not want to be associated with Hampton or NC A&T in the CAA. UR has no right to look down its nose at any other football school, unless it can beat them on the field.

The move to the PL will kill UR football.
