Big win over an opponent that is much better than their record. We weren’t perfect by any means but both sides of the ball made plays when it mattered. Fourth game in a row with no turnovers by the Spiders. Towson with 3 yesterday…difference in the game.
I really like this team can win with many different formulas. We don't have to just win with D, or in air, or on ground.
Diffidently a bend don’t break mentality and with Coleman’s steady improvement on offense, this offense has yet
to play its best game. We need some of the injured to get well, but impressed with some of the frosh playing. How about
that Aussie punter and that Irish kicker!
Agreed, Towson looked like the better team for a decent portion of the game but we were very opportunistic and won comfortably in the end. The Spiders are a fun team to watch this Fall.
I really like running back ZPS. He does a great job of always going forward and getting an extra yard or two. not a lot of "dancing" or negative plays.
Blockers deserve lots of credit in Jabril Hayes electifying 90 yard pick 6 run!
Anyone know if Traynor come back into the game after the big hit on which he was clearly dazed in the 1st half?
I saw him go into the tent and then again outside on the sidelines, but missed whether he returned to the field.
Go Spiders!

He did not go back into the game. I heard concussion protocol was in play.
Back on the Left Coast after a great homecoming. Tremendous weather, catching up with fraternity brothers I first met 50 years ago, and a super day for a game and a big win. Campus is so beautiful in the fall, hit a few of the old stomping grounds, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Bernie's and Phil's. Somehow missed out on Villa Pizza and bumping to the AWB at the Pass.
The Pikes are back on campus, in the old Phi Delt house. The Delts have moved down OFR into the old Fiji house, and apparently the Fijis have moved into a new lodge on NFR. The old SAE house is now a university building; the SPE's were the only ones on OFR in the same place from my era.
To those who disparage him, President Hallock was at the Pike tailgater on Saturday and the movers and shakers from our end said we would not be back on campus without his support. I heard through the grapevine the Phi Kaps are also looking to reorganize and return to campus.
Sounds like a great trip back. Bernie's and Phil's must have been memory lane visits, but suspect you were disappointed that the Tempo Room is no longer open.
Interesting that Towson coach said in his interview today that Richmond defensive line was as good as they have faced this year ranking with North Dakota State.
Honestly right now the DL is our best weapon. But if our offense is maintaining possession and giving the DL
recovery time, we are dangerous.
Don't think I made it there. There was a bar at the little plaza at the NE corner of Patterson and Parham we sometimes frequented and also a bar on the north side of Patterson down by Libbie where a one-man band named Oldy B Goldy often played.Sounds like a great trip back.

It was a great trip. We have a beautiful university.
Maintaining possession, giving the defensive recovery time, and putting opposing offenses in predictable must pass situations. The last series for Towson when we got 3 straight sacks was a thing of beauty. DL did major damage against Delaware as well.
Towson Coach Pete Shinnick, who's team played FCS #1 North Dakota State earlier in the season, compared the Spiders DL favorably to the NDST DL...that's a pretty big compliment!
Go Spiders!
Coaches Ellis and Noel deserve a ton of credit for our success on the DL.

Salute to these guys! Our D Line is a load for any opponent, no doubt.
Should also recognize Keegan Kennedy, our O line coach. Da "Boys" can open holes for the run while also protecting against sacks.
Believe the strength of our line play on both sides bodes well for us as the regular season closes.
Go Spiders!

Saw today, 11/10, that Towsonis going to spend 12million on an indoor facility for both basketball and and
football (probably lacrosse too) .
I think we should be thinking about an indoor facility for our field games. The Quealy center is wonderful,
for indoor games; obviously, basketball.
But to keep up with the Jones, we need to consider another facility where our football, top national quality
lacrosse program, as well as our ladies lacrosse, field hockey and soccer
Don’t we have another billionaire donor with a son or daughter that needs one of these?

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.
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!

One of my fraternity brothers used to be a heavy hitter and was on some university advisory boards, etc. He had a meeting with the development office over Homecoming and was told no major new construction is planned for the foreseeable future, only the renovation of current buildings.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.

He did say if someone with a dedicated donation for a dedicated new building was made, all bets are off.
My top athletic facility upgrade priority right now is get baseball better grand stands and lights. Building a small club house in between the stands and indoor hitting facility could be nice too. An indoor practice facility for our sports teams like football and lacrosse would be great for the recruiting pitch mainly, but I don’t know how much functional utility it’ll have that’s worth the cost and space it’ll take up. It’s currently 73 and sunny in Richmond right now in November. We aren’t battling tough weather conditions like other programs. I’m not saying we should never get one at some point, but I think there are other projects that can give us more bang for our buck.
