The genesis of this was u saying we've done well limiting q4s. When half of the games so far are Q4s how can u say that? Now u r saying something about us knowing a few of the q4 games already which is nonsensical.

The mentality comment was clearly in reference to going after & playing in more road p5 buy games. No, I don't think our staff has that mentality. which I think u need when our scheduling is trending the way it is, esp with MTEs.

Also, what was our non conf sos in 23-24? iirc it was very poor. we played like 6 garbage teams. & with your 6 above only 2 are "top 40 caliber"/top 75 net. Of course u love that u don't want to play more than 2. maybe I'm wrong on non conf sos I don't have time to look up right now. But if we had a bad non conf sos idk how that schedule is your example.

I have not said overall we traditionally schedule bad, some years have been good like 21-22' iirc. there r others, some years r very average some r below average. but I've long said that regardless, we should schedule harder. Had those debates b4 on here. It's not a new thing. there have been plenty of years I've not been happy with our OOC schedule.

“I think that it will be probably with me all summer and well into next year, and hopefully out of my system by the time we start playing again,” second-year UR coach Mik Aoki said Monday. “As the head coach, I need to take basically all of the responsibility for maybe not having prepared us for the downs that happen during the course of any baseball season, or probably any athletic season, right?” [...]

“For us, those ‘downs,’ I think, sort of started at Saint Joe’s,” said Aoki. “I think the guys just started to feel, like, ‘Oh my gosh, we just lost two games.’ Even at the end of that weekend, we’re still 4-2 (in the A-10). I think it was like sort of living up to the expectations. I don’t know that we necessarily handled that very well.
University of Richmond second-year baseball coach Mik Aoki, on the Spiders' uneven season: “I think that it will be probably with me all summer and well into next year, and hopefully out of my system by the time we start playing again."

“And then we went just through a little bit of a rocky stretch. Our pitching wasn’t quite as good as it was at the early part of the year. I think our hitters started to press. Then our pitching kind of got back on track, but by that point, I think our hitters were a little bit out of sorts.

“We just never seemed to kind of get over the hump.”

“It’s a group that I really, really enjoyed being around. It’s a group I care for deeply,” said Aoki, the former coach at Notre Dame, Boston College, Morehead State and Columbia. “It was an incredibly talented group, but it was almost sort of a feeling of they wanted something so badly they couldn’t quite let go.

“It comes from a good place. They wanted this so badly. They knew that they were really good. In spurts we did, but I don’t know that we just played an entire six- or seven-game stretch just completely free and loose once the conference started ... and then time becomes your enemy. Every passing weekend, the pressure sort of ratchets up.”

Aoki is left weighing the value of a very unusual season. Every metric improved from last season, his analysis indicates, the Spiders won 33 games, and at least three or four UR players this season probably earned a draft position or an opportunity play professionally at some level.

“You try to take your lessons. On my 30-minute ride back home down to Chesterfield, or if it’s a two-hour trip to go watch a kid play, or in the quiet moments of the summer when I’m by myself, these are the things that will rattle around in my brain for a while,” said Aoki.

2) it might also be an A10 mandate. I think I heard somewhere that Bernadette is following analytics to try to game the system where she wants each team to try to schedule to win "x"% (I think 80%?) in the OOC. so unless you're projected to be a top team in the league ... schedule weak.

Marty Feldman Patel, our esteemed alum who somehow fell 30 stories upstairs to become the director of the FBI, is openly lying to the American public about Canada being a major source of fentanyl.

In the first three months of 2025, a grand total of 1.35 pounds of fentanyl was seized by border officials at our border with Canada — 0.06% of total seizures.

He is an absolute embarrassment to our outstanding university.

Karg from Utah State got to –14, but bogeyed 17 and 18 to drop back into a tie with Baez. I assume there’s a playoff for the individual title (though Baez has been sitting for quite a while now) and the winner gets a spot in the Southeastern Amateur.

Coach, Zach, and Max handled the questions very well. As usual Chemotti complimented the opponent, said positive things about our players, and gave good straightforward answers on questions asked. Great representatives of the University of Richmond.

I can tell you right now that all those schools have had better schedules than us. Your comparison of us with these schools though is a strawman argument to the discussion at hand.
