8-23!!
- Thread starter GKiller
- Start date
yes. There r postgame pressers for almost all games certainly there would be for a game vs vcu. The quotes from JOC & game recap came from it.
maybe they r just embarrassed by the redundancy.
would you cut and paste the URL for me, mine is still not working and Im not sure why
As much as CM is to blame for this, it's not on him exclusively. UR has real problem. For me, it's not enough to change coaches. We need a real shift in direction at the school when it comes to athletics ( and a lot of other things, but I'll keep this about athletics). We need a new AD and a real commitment to winning. How about starting with a press conference saying how unacceptable the results have been the last decade. How about starting with a press conference saying it is our goal and expectation to beat VCU, win the A10, and regularly make the NCAA tournament. How about talking about how embarrassing 7-22 is and how we will not tolerate anything close to that record or a game like last night again. Our current leadership will never do any of this, so they don't deserve our support. This has to change.

Seems the admin wants us to be a Lax and swimming school and let the men’s revenue sports die on the vine.

The official athletics website for the University of Richmond Spiders
Swimming has had significant resources pulled from it over time. Note our 3rd place finish this year in A-10's. Will likely be more the norm than our consistent top finishes.
true & I didn’t say all on video but there is something in some form for virtually all road games too. But for vcu a rivalry game down the road it should always be available no questions asked. If we won 100% highlights & Mooney interview would have been posted. vcu had postgame pressers on video from their game at Robins. If vcu controlled they would reciprocate here. In this situation I expect it was our own unprofessional decision.

We all know how this AD regime operates. The last thing they want to do is give further attention or spotlight to a game like this last one. The sooner you stop talking about it the sooner it goes away.
Probably was tough to get video from Friday night because the team had to race to get out of there and catch the flight home.
I hope Mooney had to walk home.
Mooney left the game on the shoulders of VCU coaches and players as the crowd shouted “Mooney, Mooney, Mooney”
hey look we got postgame video up of Mooney right away after the GW road win. Shocking isn’t it.

Exactly. Cheap wins and it's rainbows and cupcakes season again.
I don't know best to place to put this, but this thread makes sense...Jerry Palm in his latest bracketology now has VCU has one of his last teams IN.
Frankly they deserve it. Put away fact we are the most underachieving team in college bball the last two years, and that we were out of any reasonable at large consideration even going back to first game, at very least we could put a big dent in VCU chances. So many years under Mooney we've had that chance and never come through when those spots present themselves.
Instead it's hand over our lunch money and run away like a schoolgirl.
Anyway when I saw vcu listed, of course I was not surprised at all. They've been creeping up lists deservedly so. matter of time. It's what they do, it's what we don't do. But seeing them I was simply reminded how we never do anything to stop them.
Guess that's pretty obvious when u r 7-22.

And this team may actually be better than the team last year that had a 1st round draft pick which is pretty crazy .. thinking Rhoades could easily get a10 coach of year
VCU is what, 17–3 since Ace came back? Have moved into top 50 NET and looking to lock up a top two A-10 finish.
Finish out strong and they'll be in good shape...again.

Not sure how McKillop doesn’t win coach of the year. Loses two best players and comes back and kicks the A-10’s ass every night. Probably wins the A-10 league and tournament , nationally ranked and only A-10 team with a chance at an at large bid. By the way his team is a hodgepodge of non-athletic oddballs.
Hey since returning from the Bahamas we are 16 and...
7...including 3 losses to VA schools, ...and St Joe, ...Nevermind...
Guy can flat-out coach and is exceptional at identifying players that will fit what he does and is also exceptional at developing his players.

Just another year for us of hoping VCU doesn’t make the tournament either. It’s all we have left.RTD piece on where the various bracketologists have VCU at the moment. Keeping an eye out for the NIT bubble banter story about the Spiders.

How appropriate if Mooney loses to VDU in his last game as coach of the Spiders.
^^Yea, how else would the book end?
Oh yea, with a Quarterfinal loss against practically anyone in the A10.

Too lazy to look it up, but within past several years Spiders beat VCU twice in regular season only to lose a third game to them in tournament when it really counted.
Get by Thursday night and looking for payback.

This team is done and we all know it. It's not going to catch a second wind and win four in a row. It's going to do what Mooney has caused it to do all year long and fall short when it matters most.
