Interesting comment at end of RTD JOC story
"If the Eagles win the Super Bowl, the Spiders are on alert for the potential of a Wednesday afternoon parade in downtown Philadelphia, where La Salle is located.
Mooney said the Spiders may adjust their shoot-around location if there is an issue, but there has been no discussion of changing the game day or time at this stage"

Yah - not an Eagles fan but was rooting for them. Grew up in GA and a fan of the team not be mentioned that choked 6 years ago.
Feel for ya there. have lived in GA previously myself. Even saw KA and his teammate Cam Heyward play hs basketball. The Eagles join the Falcons has the only other team to blow a double digit halftime lead. Granted that's about as far as the comparison goes.
Also, we have 1 less excuse Wednesday. No shootaround disruption.
I had posted, but it was still in my drafts - that as opposed to Mooney giving Bona unlimited practice at the RC, Dunphy was really going to a lot of trouble to keep Richmond from getting familiar with the sight lines, by staging a parade. Alas, not an issue. Maybe Dunphy will come up with something else.
Eagle fan, Great game, it was a shame that everyone was robbed of a great ending by a game deciding officiating call. Eagles fans are bummed for sure but our team showed up on the biggest stage and has nothing to be ashamed about, someone had to lose that game where both teams brought their A games. Mahomes is the MVP for a reason, but I think everyone knows if they don't already that Hurts is elite.
Nothing of note really in JOCs morning RTD article about the injuries other than Quinn is also now in a boot - I will be surprised if he plays on Wed.
Bradberry held himself accountable, something wholly unfamiliar to BB and Mooney.
Glad LaSalle Tom Gola Arena is okay.
Philadelphians Preemptively Burn City Down In Preparation For Winning Or Losing Super Bowl
SPORTS·Feb 12, 2023 · BabylonBee.com
PHILADELPHIA, PA — To prepare for the aftermath of either winning or losing a football game, the citizens of Philadelphia have decided to pre-emptively raze the city to the ground.
"One way or the other it's going to burn," said local man Dylan Timms. "With Philly, you never have to wonder."

Here we are five games left in the season fighting to stay out of the bottom 4. Wouldn’t have imagined that at the beginning of the season. With VCU and StL after LaSalle we need to win this one.
Lol either way it’s an improvement. Philly is always vying with Trenton for armpit of the nation status. Philly usual takes the title.Glad LaSalle Tom Gola Arena is okay.

We need to get all these guys healthy in time to play Loyola in the tournament.
Glad both of these guys are not seriously injured and looks like they will be back soon.
With our horrendous road record, one wonders how lines could favor us away from RC.

much like GW, these Explorers are probably the best team that these schools have had in years and years but still should be a game we win with the talent on our roster (I said the same thing about GW unfortunately)
Spiders - 72
Exploders - 66

This will be a tough game, not because LaSalle is any good, but simply because it is on the road and LaSalle is feeling good right now about themselves. The next 4 games will be very tough for us, so this is a game we have to win - because after this we have St. Louis, VCU, and then St. Joes - who is surprisingly doing better than expected in league play and that game is on the road as well.
Dunphy is a good coach and having coached at Penn and played Princeton all those years - he will have his guys ready for Mooney-ball. And does anyone know the status of Quinn or Bigelow? If we are down one or both those guys - this could be Loss for the Spiders.

I will be very curious as to whether either plays. My thought is neither, as it seems more important to be as healthy as possible for Brooklyn, opposed to trying to win this game at all cost. If either tells the coach and training staff they feel 100, then guess they would play.
I would agree. We have a week off after this game, so need to rush either of these two back if they are not 100%, since we have our bye week after this game.
When does the smooth sailing start, again?
For Mooney about March 15. He and the fam will probably be on a nice cruise somewhere warm about that time. Probably already have the tickets booked.

just as soon as we stop having to play all these blasted games!
Very true - especially with Bye coming up. I just worry though - if we don't win this one, I don't like our chances vs. SLU or VCU, and then going back on the road to play St. Joes - who is not good, but has beaten the bottom half of the league to a 7-6 record - we could be looking at 4 straight losses if we don't win this one.
Don't worry, everything is going great, as evidenced by the fact that our men's AND women's teams are a combined 18-6 at the Robins Center this year. Yay! Also, four sellouts*! Maybe 80sFan is actually Hardt. Here's "Hardt's" email from yesterday as it relates to basketball:
"I’d like to thank those of you who have given Spider Basketball such an incredible home-court advantage at the Robins Center this season. Our men’s and women’s teams are a combined 18-6 at home in 2022-23. Women’s Basketball registered a record-setting 119-55 home win over Longwood in non-conference play, and Men’s Basketball has played before four sellout crowds, including on January 7, when the team overcame a 22-point deficit to beat Duquesne, the biggest comeback win for the Spiders in the 21st century! I’ll echo Spiders star forward Tyler Burton, who was asked about the crowd in his postgame press conference and said: “We really appreciate it and we probably couldn’t have done it without you.” Spider Basketball in the Robins Center is a showcase for everything we love about Richmond Athletics**, and I’m glad so many of you have been a part of these special events this season."
*Definitely not sellouts
**We love being under .500?

I mean, we could beat LaSalle by 50 and I would still not like our chances vs SLU or VCU 🤷♂️
Had to change my avatar in honor of that Hardt pom-pom party.
True, but both were in boots on Saturday, so think there is a difference between playing hurt and recovery from an injury. I hope they both play, but this game is relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of things, so having them fully recovered for the A-10 tournament should be a priority.
So we have had 7 A1-10 home games, if Friday night is part of the weekend then...
We sold out all 4 weekend games and none of the weekday games...
