Walsh successor in charge

The men’s bball staff have always run point on scheduling. They r not putting the deputy AD who is a little over a year into the job “in charge” of scheduling for the flagship program. It’s not football with few ooc games and done years in advance. Many on bball & AD staff touch it and I’m sure Butler also handles logistics & some contractual items but he’s not choosing the games. Everyone loves to pass the buck for Mooney.

Hardt is gonna step in and offer a 5 for 1 deal to Bucknell (5 in Lewisboro so both GK and student17 get mad) to jump in and save us, forgetting that we already play them.

I still want that 5 for 1 deal! 5 at the RC of course. Bring it on student17. 250% better than the 2-1 we apparently already gave em. Worst case they can equally replace a number of teams we play at home every year - this year it’s about all of them. But a great futures ticket to hold if Bucknell gets close to the Bucknell of old.

2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - Elon

awful glad we've gotten to the CAA portion of our schedule...believe we will finally find out Saturday whether, or not, we are the CAA Championship and FCS Playoff contender we thought we were in preseason...

so far the offense and defense have been inconsistent enough to leave fans wondering about the season's high expectations...for Saturday's CAA opener there should be no questions about the venue, opposing team or stakes of the game...if the Spiders can't go into Rhodes Stadium and play their best on both sides of the ball a disappointing season could lay ahead!

I like Coach Huesman's decision to go with Coleman at QB...despite the red zone picks at DSU his ability to throw the ball downfield gave our offense a weapon that had been missing...with Nick DeGennaro also back the UR offense could put some of those points it missed last week on the board...

but I'm worried about the former Fighting Christians...they seem to always play well against Coach Huesman's teams...last season Huesman finally broke through to get his first non COVID season win...Coach Trisciani has a team that needs a win as badly as the Spiders...this will be the Phoenix's 3rd straight home game...they have lost their last two...watch out for QB Downing, WR Brayboy and RB Thomas to come up big for Elon... our defense will have to be at its best or it could be a long afternoon!

find a way to win Spiders!

In honor of the Spiders final season in the CAA, I will share The Spider Gang's predictions for the CAA games each week...this week The Gang is solid in the Spiders camp 7-3...the predictions are listed in the order of the season long Predictions Contest standings following the Delaware State game:

Mr. Electric - Elon 21-17
The Chief - UR 31-27
Satchmo - Elon 28-27
Ms. Crook - UR 27-17
Scooper - UR 24-20
Ms. Diplomat - UR 24-17
Crook - UR 20-7
Ms. Springer - UR 20-14
Ms. Spirit - Elon 24-14
The Sheriff - UR 35-17

enjoy the Prologue!

Go Spiders!

I think he means D2/D3 teams on their regular schedules, not in the MTE. Ditch that to free up a slot to move up to a 3-game MTE.

Probably have to buy off the D2/D3 school and way too many moving parts required to be feasible, but yeah, it's an idea.

Gotcha. I alluded to that possibility of dropping a game earlier too. & the d2/d3 drop would make most sense plus many teams have them scheduled. Easiest to drop with likely a minimal buyout. But yeah, too many moving parts. It's not 1 team in that scenario, but 3. And they would be giving up a home game. To me its worth it but there r some posters adamant we require X amount of home games for the fanbase to play your Mt. Olives. Those teams could feel the same. I think a $$ incentive could possibly sway it but what $ does the Gulf Coast have or it means UR and the 4 others subsidizing it.

Not dismissing what urfan1 heard but all options lead back to the highest likelihood of just 1 team from anywhere joining to make it 6 teams. gotta figure something out.

Yes, not likely, but technically possible.

More likely than having a double header of 2 games with 5 teams and no one sitting out…

No because in order for an a d2/d3 team to be part of any MTE they have to be the "host" team like a Chaminade does. Of course, this relies on NCAA rules which everyone breaks without repurcussions anyway.

I see spiderman’s point here

We already have ONLY 2 games in our trash MYE.

Join a better 3 team MTE (like Kentucky’s) as the 4th team and make it a mini tournament. get 1 bad game and (assuming a win in game 1) get a good game vs Kentucky. Still also only 2 games. A wash at present.

We din’t lose any games in this scenario and in theory could add 1 more game if anyone decent has a slot.

I think the assumption is at minimum the Gulf Coast will do something to at least add 1 team for 3 games although it could be me u bullseye shooter spider23, 8legs1dream & his avatar, spiderman and & his boy Jared Grasso.

The Kentucky MTE dates don't match up.

lines have really been blurred. will Woj be in charge of their Collective, or just a liason? I didn't think a school employee is allowed in charge. had to be some separation. but whoever's in charge ... that's probably the 2nd most important job to the HC.
Click to expand...
Would think that is correct - someone with the school can't be in charge of the collective, but Woj can be a BIG presence with the collective, and likely will be the GM of the collective of as well.

In reality - the collective is simply there to raise as much money as possible, then hand it over to the coach, who can then distribute as needed to the team.
