this special episode of Spiders Prologue takes place with the back drop of selected highlights from the Spiders dramatic win over Campbell...Coach Huesman mentioned that he was extremely proud of the team for finding a way to win with their backs to the wall...it was a great Richmond win in...
it's Championship November!...since the 2021 season Richmond is 9-1 counting Playoff games in November...it sure seems like we own it!
The Homecoming game versus Towson will be the biggest game of the season until next week's game!
at 4-0 in the CAA the Spiders control their Championship...
this is one of the series I will miss from the Yankee and CAA years...there have been some legendary games over the years, particularly in the CAA years...I can't forget 2007, 2009, 2013, 2017 and 2022...except for 2017 they were all Spiders victories!
Saturday most likely closes the series...
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...
the impressive Charleston Southern win will mean nothing if the Spiders don't go to Dover and play well!
the Hornets may be better than the well known and respected Sagarin Rating's #253 ranked team out of 263 programs, but it doesn't matter...Richmond needs another strong, dominating...
my favorite comments of the week were Coach Huesman lamenting that neither QB could succeed unless everyone playing around them plays better....that call for improvement should include the defensive players who had a tough time stopping the Terriers when we needed it the most and the special...
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Spiders Saturday at The Brick House...Coach Huesman said several times since the loss to UVA that it's sometimes hard to draw conclusions from an FCS v. BCS game...I wasn't surprised Virginia won the game, but was surprised we weren't more competitive...
there's a lot of football to be played by the Spiders and Indians between now and November 23, but wouldn't it be something if this game had CAA Championship implications for the third year in a row?...obviously things have to go well for both squads, but playing almost identical CAA schedules...
after last season's embarrassing loss to the Pirates in our CAA opener, I'm glad we get them in a late November battle which could have significant CAA Championship and FCS Playoff implications for the Spiders...
no matter what kind of season the Pirates are having, many of their players will...
in another of the mysteries of CAA football scheduling the Spiders have only played Towson once (2021) since 2017!...it's a shame too, because we've won three in a row and six of the last eight going back to the 2008 season...the Tigers come to The Brick House for this year's Homecoming...
this will be the Spiders longest road trip of the regular season...to play a CAA newcomer that they and most fans know little about...no disrespect to Bryant University, but Satchmo thought it was another CAA New Jersey member until I did my research...just in case you don't know where it is...
this Brick House CAA home opener gives the Spiders a chance to help fans forget last year’s CAA home opener…
A&T is another CAA newcomer going through the growing pains of building up their program to the level at which it can compete in the conference…last season was a tough one for the Aggies...
wow!...the Spiders open their defense of the CAA Championship with what's arguably one of their toughest opponents...I hope Wofford, Charleston Southern and Delaware State prepared us well...
the Phoenix, formerly known as the Fighting Christians, have been awful tough on the Spiders since...
Delaware State has had a hard time winning football games in recent years...however, they do hold a dubious FCS football record...losing 105-0 versus Portland State in 1980 is the largest losing margin ever in FCS football...like Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak that one may never be broken...
it’s very ironic that Charleston Southern is located in North Charleston…the Spiders have never played the Buccaneers who are members of the Big South conference…the Big South has joined with the Ohio Valley conference to form a football Association of nine programs.
CSU head coach Gabe...
on paper this seems like about as good a FCS v. BCS match up as the Spiders could hope for...Richmond could be a very strong FCS team while the Cavs are still trying to find themselves in Coach Tony Elliott's third season...
but despite this, the "paycheck game" is FCS v. BCS....Virginia will...
awful glad to be back for another season of Richmond football...its hard to believe, but this will be the 15th season of the Spider Gang...we were all a lot younger back then!
it sure looks like Coach Huesman and his staff have gotten the program to its strongest level since the Rocco years...a...
