Locking in those Q4 home-and-homes!

ODU showing remarkable consistency with the exact same final NET ranking the past two seasons, too bad it was 293.

Don't forget we should have VMI on the schedule as well...third year of a 5-game series at the RC where we're paying them close to half a million dollars.

we also owe Belmont an away game. So now 4 known games. I assume we are done with Bucknell we owed them 1 game as part of a 2 for 1 series supposedly (after skipping it in 23-24). Unless we did a 5 for 1 that spiderstudent17 would have turned down.

Personally I don't know why we didn't do a H&H with JMU instead of ODU. While ODU can potentially bounce back JMU is currently better program and more similar to us as school, and have a new arena.

Odd that we didn't mention the date for next season's game...ODU did: December 6.

ODU is the Virginia school that I never really cared about playing. They’re like the Charlotte of Virginia. Probably should be better than they are every year, the school itself is average, just feels like a place and program that exists but not much else. Don’t really like the area, either. But I guess I’ll be excited to lose to them by 12 at home?

Better than a non D-I Mt. Olive or Florida Poly…hoping to see whoever is in charge of scheduling show the loyal Robins Center fans some respect!

Go Spiders!

Hey, they’re all under 300 so we got that going for us.

 

[97spiderfan]

We are scheduling like its 1993 still. ODU bastardized their hoops program to play FBS football. We are promoting this out on social media as something to get fans should be excited about it. All this is a bad Q4 game.

Odell Hodge isn't walking through that door. Petey Sessoms isn't walking through that door.

Why not Liberty? They have been very good the last few years. I thought we had Rob Jones connection there - but I just looked on their website and he is not listed? Where did he go?

He was named head coach at D-II Cedarville before last season.

I have a hunch he might not fit through a door these days.

We continue to strive to be the least interesting program in the country. Before long only the handful of posters on this board will know or care that Moon is stealing $1.5 mil per year and has compiled most losses in our history. And that's how the Triumvirate likes it.

TV commentators frequently reference Moon as the winningest coach in Richmond history. Do we expect them to also reference losing coach - no? They’re just not going to state that. But it is a fact as you pointed out.

Their job is to get eyeballs, of course they will try to build it up.
