Golden to University of Florida - Hovde to follow?

S
Sounds like Golden is fighting it - which is a bit strange. If their are text messages or pictures involved - that will be difficult to fight. But he stated he is looking to file a defamation suit.

I would imagine the assistant coaches are not involved or would hope - in terms of participating in the stalking, pictures, etc. BUT - hard to imagine they didn't know it was going on and stayed quiet or suspected it and didn't do anything about it. That is what is more likely to be the case, and still would look bad on them. Unfortunately - if this comes to light for any of them, it could be a career ender. You pay players or cheat your way to the top - that can be forgiven in due time. But when it comes to harrassing students, especially female students - I don't see a way back from that.

All this means is that Florida could have a job opening soon. Two big schools - UVA and Florida - may be looking for new coaches after this season.

That space between the Weinstein Center and Pitt Field was scoped out at one time as a potential location of a new pool should one ever come to fruition.

It is roughly 275 feet between the Weinstein Center gym and the edge of the parking lot at Pitt Field, so there's not enough space for a full football field oriented in that direction. If you orient it in the other direction, it'll cover a huge chunk of the lot. Some schools have gotten away with smaller 70–80 yard fields in their practice facilities.

I know it's possible to elevate indoor fields, but it's pretty uncommon, particularly at that size. A lot of these have ceiling heights of 65–80 feet, so putting them on top of anything just pushes a monstrous warehouse-type building even higher.

It's been 13 years since the last campus plan, and the next one is scheduled to be unveiled in the spring, so get your suggestions in before they finalize things!

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

S
Unless Marist goes on to win their league and get an NCAA bid - this is not a good loss or just a decent loss. Some things to be concerned about in our first real game (Mount Olive was basically an exhibition).

1) Defense - giving up 79 points is bad enough, but letting them shoot 50% from 3 is no good. Was Marist just hot that night - maybe? But I don't feel like we adjusted or made it difficult. I felt for the most part, they were able to get good open looks, and give credit to them - they knocked them down. To beat good teams on the road - you need to make shots, and the 3 point shot is a great equalizer. They hit their 3's - we shot

2) Scoring Drought - we experienced our classic scoring drought for 5 minutes in the 2nd half, this is where Marist took the lead and got too far ahead. What I take away from this is we have Hunt - but we need a viable and consistent 2nd and 3rd option - too early to tell who that will be, but something we need to figure out in these early games so roles can be established and players know what to expect.

3) Pressure Defense - Not sure about everyone else, but I didn't think we pressured Marist as much as we should have or could have. It was clear from some of their turnovers, they may have trouble with it. And if Mooney is going to play 9 guys - why not step up the pressure a bit. I felt like we pressed, but after 1 pass, we just fall back and it was more of token pressure than anything. Sure - this is good from time to time, but where was the full court pressure to try and cause turnovers and speed the game up? Again - only first game, so we may see it later - but something I think with our guard depth and big guys, we can have stretches - 2-3 minutes at a time, where we really force the pressure. Thought it might have helped with Marist as I thought they were weak handling the ball.

He will continue supporting Ukraine's sovereignty, and Trump will urge them to give up because they cannot win.

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.

Wow, your idea is far ahead of what I was thinking but I love it. Actually , it might be an opportunity for
Richmond to open an architectural school. But, it’s something that needs to be considered and put
in the plans for the future.

2024 Presidential Election

K
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.
