CAA openers have been a anxious time for Spiders fans in recent years...we have not won a CAA opener since 2015!...some things are very similar again this year...the team's 2-1 and going into the conference opener with momentum...many fans are optimistic and hopeful...I'm one of them
will we get crushed again this year?...to me it seems a little different...our offense has been consistently impressive in all three games...our "work in progress" defense has been getting better each week...Coach Huesman and the players seem more confident...
Spiders nemesis Stony Brook won't make Richmond's job of reversing recent history easy...they've beaten us four of our last five meetings...I expect we'll get their best game...but if this really is a different Spiders team we find a way to win this opening CAA game...getting to the six CAA wins needed to fight for the Championship requires defeating the Wolves, a probable double digit underdog...
Saturday at The Brick House will be a perfect opportunity for this team to begin building its own different history...
enjoy the Prologue...
Go Spiders!
