There was a game tonight? Was anybody there and if so why? You would literally have to pay me big bucks to go to any games.

Rick is the best example of our ongoing problem - he makes sane and smart decisions and while I am crazy grumpy and sad tonight, I make emotional optimistic ones and still will be going to the rest of the home games when I am in town and will be renewing my season tickets since I can't get rid of the hope of the perpetual next season.

Losing by 15 to a FL community college with an endowment less than my daughter's high school in richmond ..
Something fundamentally wrong when we are favored by 3 and lose by 18. Not to fret - OOC done, and we are set to dominate A10, as OOC prepared us well.
 
Why did I go to this game tonight? That is just a bad basketball team. Watching Tynne and Waltz take three point shots (did Roche get any attempts?), Waltz getting switched onto guards all night, multiple times where our defender in the paint just let a driver go right by them, this might be the worst Mooney team in 20 years.

Observation

1. We are not cohesive at all.
2. We don’t play relaxed, as we seem to press. Shots won’t go in unless the shooter is confident
3. Yes, Bob Black, every team is finding our small guards on a regular basis. We seem lost on defense and frequently lose our man. Question how do teams manage to have so many open threes where we have to throw up a prayer with time running out.
4. Why are we so sold on the three while not attacking the lane.?
5. At this point, the season is shot, Play your underclassmen, end the redshirts and develop next years team.
6. Mooney do a Larranega and let’s move on.
7. Happy 2025 and go Spiders
 
These guys don't care. When we go to the NCAAs again in 2031 the mooneyites will be slam dunking on here, saying see we told you so.


Meanwhile, we have been told by the mooniocrity legion that it's impossible to hire another good coach. Meanwhile in Logan, UT they had a really good coach. He left and they got another really good coach and immediately went to the NCAAs. He left, and guess what they have another really good coach and a shot to go back again this year. BUT NO, it's impossible. Why would a good coach want to come to Lil ol leafy Richmond. The attitude from PQ to Hardt to Mooney is disgusting.

Great ideas Carolina.

Problem is even if moon decided to hang it up, I have an extremely strong feeling that Hardt and PQ would eff up the hire.

And Moon has absolutely ZERO reason to leave. As I was told point blank by a former D1 head coach 10 years ago, Moon has the best job in America. Wasn't sure I believed him, but every year that passes I see he knew what he was talking about. Zero media accountability. Zero admin accountability, other than staying out of the police blotter and no yelling out F bombs. Only a small group of fans try to keep him accountable, and then he can play the victim. Woe is me. Poor me.
 
2nd direct quote of the night comes from my 82 year old mom visiting for Xmas.

During that ridiculously long replay review…

“Oh for god’s sake Richmond is not winning this game”
My 87yo dad visiting from CA about 8 minutes into the first half: “why don’t your guys ever follow their shots?”

It was too frustrating for me to try to explain.
