Spiders rank 12th in Lindy's poll.Not a word from the Robins Center PR machine.

Anybody at home?Sad.....Very sad.Ineptidude reigns.

We are advertising the rules changes in basketball and Spiders KIDS Club.

We can not be serious about trying to fill up the Brickhouse this fall.Bush league and amateurish.

An old Chinese proverb "If you bitch long enough,good things finally happen"

Still a very fundamental flaw on how and what UR marketing strategy is.

If an alum has to hound the Marketing Geniuses over the past 3 weeks to start paying attention to marketing football,something ain't right.Very disappointing.

32...looks like they're listening to you...

CAA schedule makers didn't do us any favors...JMU, Nova, New Hampshire and W&M in 4 of last 5 to close the season...Pukes, and both Cats on the road...

if we win three of these we should be at least 20th and probably better...

tough, but Spiders have played well in November under Coach Rocco...

Go Spiders!
 
+1 32. It is ridiculous how little attention is paid to the Football program. We have a highly competitive team, play in a great stadium, and play in a great league. I dont think the average person in Richmond understands the quality of football played in the CAA. Oh well, I will be there every game as usual and hope to make at least 2 road games to support the Spiders. We have a lot of talent returning this year. Need the O line to be great to help support the running game and protect KL as he settles in to the starting role.
