2018 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - William and Mary

[mojo-spider]

this Spiders fan, and I expect many others, is relieved to get this disappointing season over with, but I still look forward to my visit to Cary Field Saturday...

next to The Brick House it's my favorite place to watch a football game...and we've seen some great ones there in the last decade...it's Coach Laycock's home field, but the Spiders either earned Championships, or FCS Playoff bids, there in 2008, 2012 and 2014...those were some great days on The Reservation for Spiders fans...

in a way they were payback for the way Coach Laycock owned us in the 80's and 90's...I didn't think we'd ever figure him out...

win, or lose, Saturday my hat's off to Coach Laycock on a successful and amazing career...he deserves a great retirement...

the Spiders have been down before...we can and will come back...hopefully beginning next season...

enjoy the Prologue...

Go Spiders!

We are a 7.5 point underdog. There arent many 63 scholarship FCS team that i would bet us to cover a 14 point spread at this point of the season. I can think of ... Albany ... at this stage of the game.

Great job by the guys to go out with a W and prove me wrong. Keep the Cup and have something to build on for next year!

Great effort to close out the season.

Couldn’t watch it, but looks like the Spider defense controlled the game. We have some pieces that should develop this off season and hopefully we have a quick return to the the top of the CAA. Great way to close the year out with a W!

a number of former 50s players were at my brother's funeral on friday and they were all staying for the game and know my bro is smiling along with them as the SPIDS evened the series. WAY TO GET UP and keep that cup

Defense did control game, especially D-line.
Not pretty, but gutsy. Not sure how Tribe won 4.

Same. The lack of quarterbacking talent there was pretty staggering.

Chenault was vastly improved from 2016 when Kyle went down with ACL and Broadus was persona non grata.He was thrown to the wolves in 2016 and was a deer in headlights for that game.His not making any mistakes along with #10 Caleb Drake having a speedster wildcat game and juggling TD reception was just enough to get the W offensively.

Throughout the season we should have used Caleb Drake more often in the wildcat formation.He is/was the fastest on the team next to Brissett.Wasted talent.

Looks like W&M students don't go to game either. Tons of empty seats.

I meant the Tribe Quarterbacking.

I agree with everything you said about ours.

Drake added a real dimension with the wildcat yesterday.

Sorry.My misunderstanding.I was surprised too.I thought their 2nd QB was gonna give us big trouble.

Thanksgiving exit already?Not many of their 18-22 year olds realize what Jimmye has meant to their program.Imagine the size of crowd if it wasn’t Jimmye’s swan song

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Considering the number of Tribe football alumni who were out on the field for the Jimmye tribute, that must have been half the Tribe fans in attendance.
