Actually, Laulette wasn't even hit on that play. Knee went out on its own.

2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponents Countdown - William and Mary
Until we don't go undefeated in the league and we lose good recruits, then it matters.
Lehigh and Holy Cross will give us a run. Lehigh could be a tough out this year.
Regardless of league, successful mantra is just go 1 -0 next game.
Maybe it comes, but to date there is zero evidence that league change has impacted recruiting. Who would not want to join a championship team....with a nice leafy campus?

I was shocked that William and Mary underperformed this season. They had almost the same team back from last year. They seemed to come out flat today. It felt like they were just dialing it in.
we beat a solid team today, don't take away from their efforts.
You are correct. A case in point: This was a dominant effort by the offense and defense. They had the ball for all of 3 and one half minutes in the 3rd Q. That is an incredible statistic.
One sack in particular came with UR rushing only 4 men (against 5 blockers), which sort of said it all about the effort of the Spiders.
lol do u have any original thoughts? Direct post from the W&M message board thread u linked…
“The really bad thing about that sack was it came with UR rushing only 4 men (against 5 blockers), which sort of said it all about the effort of the Spiders as opposed to the effort by W&M.”
Also, I don’t really get the point. 4 man rushes get sacks commonly. Beat your man 1 on 1.
However I agree dominant win credit to Spiders tho a little surprising W&M rolled over like that too.
We made them look flat. OL and DL. Tribe is a very good rushing team. They couldn’t run on us and we wore them down on offense. Beautiful simple football.
I am guilty as charged of trolling W&M. After all, they are the ones who picked fights against us at the end of the game. They were classless.
I also am too old (lazy?) to worry about citations on a message board.

Here some other great comments found, while trolling W&M on their virtual reservation. How sweet it is.
"Resistance to change - a W&M tradition since 1693."
"Possibly the most listless game by the Tribe since London became coach. Players actually look like they could not care less..
Hard to believe a team with an array of returning stars could lose five games."
"Well, they obviously weren't up for the game. Terrible effort on offense today. I feel bad for Yoder. That huge sack that Wilson took was just emblematic of why he wasn't the answer this season."
"We will look back at this era of Tribe football as a monumental missed opportunity.
A lot of "What ifs" with all the talent that is leaving here."
They are still talking about their playoff loss 3 years ago... and they blame the conference.
"Montana State debacle was likely a reflection of where this group reasonably stood in current FCS landscape. CAA is shadow of its former self"
"This team seemed to regress each week."
"There definitely needs to be some conversations in the athletic offices.... We know London can recruit. It is debatable about just how good of a coach he is."
Biggest play of the the game? Play #1, Zach Chambers...if you were there you know what I mean. Message sent
After that hit I stood up and yelled "Welcome to Richmond" only to receive several icy stares from the Tribe faithful. It was priceless (perhaps tasteless too), but enjoyed it.

That was a great hit. It set the tone for the entire game. I heard it from my vantage point in the stands.
More trolling from the Waste Management dumpster fire in Williamsburg.
"By the way, since Richmond just won the CAA two years in a row and made the playoffs for the third straight year, they should absolutely dominate the Patriot League. Within five years the rest of the schools will be sorry they let them in."

thanks 3gen...100% thumbs up and wows on this...a magnificent message that we were going to whip them physically all over The Brick House!
the play is featured at the opening of the professional highlight package...it should be used for instructional purposes!
Go Spiders!
If we win Patriot League we get bid. The point is that the chances of Patriot getting more than one bid is not good in current configuration. On the other hand, CAA is a multi bid league, and chances are much better for finishing 2-3 or 2-4 and getting bids; not happening in Patriot.
If any group understands tasteless, it is the Tribe. Enjoy every moment.
It’ll depend on our OOC scheduling which is set for the next few years, but more down the road. Also, imagine that other patriot league teams will continue to rise in competitiveness. Even if we lost to W&M yesterday we would’ve gotten in as an at-large and our SOS was 113 out of 136 (don’t remember exactly but towards the bottom of FCS) like a week ago. I can’t imagine our SOS will be worse than that in Patriot League.
We would have gotten in with a loss to W and M as the CAA historically is regarded as a stronger league than Patriot League and CAA is a multi bid league. Question - how many years has Patriot gotten more than one team? I’m not sure your assumption about rise in Patriot competitiveness is valid. Possibly adding us into fold adds to that and if WM and Villanova eventually come over that strengthens the PL; otherwise there isn’t quantification to support a rise in PL competitiveness. Moving forward I’d hope we initially dominate that league and will get autobid. But counting on 2 or more bids is suspect. I doubt that a handful of wins over that competition in that league is much of a consideration factor. If it was, they’d be getting multiple bids. Actually, it might be an anchor.
PL will go to 2 bid league. 2 over 8 ~ 4 over 15. Not a lot of difference. A 15 team league should get multiple bids.
