Five Remaining Games, How many wins!

How many plane trips will a daktronics scoreboard buy us? I'd rather look at the espn gamecast on my phone while i'm sitting in Robins Stadium and get these kids flights to all their road games.
We need a new Game Day Director, too. The enthusiasm in the stands is pitiful.
This was covered a lot in another thread but we haven’t had the same Game day atmosphere since we moved into Robins Stadium. Certainly the biggest factor is that we had really good teams the last few years at City Stadium but Robins just feels antiseptic from the lack of student attendance/support to the stands being further away due to the track. We’ve also lost a lot of the local fan support that would fill City Stadium and was focused on the game more than just the social/networking opportunity. There seemed to be more of a pride in the community that “this team is good and I’m going to go watch and support them” even in our old, dumpy stadium.
What's there been to be enthusiastic about? Good lord if the school is apathetic about sports then why shouldn't the fan base be?

Has spring-semester football impacted health of CAA teams this fall?
Richmond coach Russ Huesman said, “I do think some of the wear-and-tear on bodies is catching up."

A look at seven FCS teams that have disappointed this season with records that are at least two games below .500.
Richmond (2-4, 0-3 CAA)
Strength of Schedule: 53Most Disappointing Loss: 20-7 to Elon
What’s Gone Wrong: Picked fourth in the CAA preseason poll following an encouraging spring season, the Spiders let a 14-point lead slip away in the final 5:01 against Villanova on Sept. 18 and have gone on to their first four-game losing streak since 2013. They’ve played nearly three full games without No. 1 quarterback Joe Mancuso, who has a broken right index finger.
Potential Reversal: The Spiders have yet to appear in the postseason under fifth-year coach Russ Huesman, and they’re basically playing only for a winning record, which would require them to win four of their final five games. Their next two outings (Stony Brook and New Hampshire) are on the road.
Calling our spring season "encouraging" because we beat a bad team and a team without a bunch of its starters but got housed by the only good team we actually played is. . . something.
+1 we haven't had an encouraging or successful season since russ took over .PERIOD
This is what most FCS, and many lower-level FBS, schools regularly do. The savings are significant. Every school has to live within its budget.
How many extensions has Mooney gotten doing basically the same thing?
We played 4 games. Since other teams played more this would have implied that we should have an advantage. This is like the COVID excuse for basketball that it hurt us worse than others when in should have been an advantage for us.starting to cook up a lame excuse

Huesmann won’t even be under contract. Or is the excuse that a search firm is too expensive?
The answer to this question is a resounding NO.Will These Disappointing FCS Teams Make a Rally?

I agree with you. Va Tech sucks and their fans were chanting “Fire Fuente” at the end of the game today, but they still have fun. Richmond needs an “Enter Sandman” type atmosphere.
What would be a good entrance song for us?
If Jerry Garcia is in at RB, Trucking.
Me thinks we are are going to vie with Albany as CAA dormats both with 0-8 records.Luckily they are not on our schedule.The game v Tribe could be an embarrassing loss.

Young, enthusiastic, offensive minded coach. Hmmm- maybe head coaching material?

Coach: Russ Huesman (21-25, fifth season)
What’s Gone Wrong: Huesman was the defensive coordinator on Richmond’s 2008 FCS championship squad and had a banner run guiding Chattanooga in the Southern Conference, but the Spiders will miss the playoffs for the fifth straight season after making them in seven of the previous 12 years while averaging 8.5 wins.
Potential “Season-Making” Win: Nov. 20 at William & Mary (Richmond has won the Capital Cup in three of the last four seasons with each rivalry game decided by seven or fewer points)
