It's great to talk about people in seats - there as fans or for entertainment / family outings. Take your pick.
The one thing I will cede to you regarding the size of the crowd is that it was pathetic that we went on the "road" and couldn't overcome an average team playing in front of 500 of their fans.
Too bad those spiders fans in attendance saw a Looney master class. I’m sure they appreciated how Looney had his boys competing
I'm sorry 3 years of good bball? ill give you the 2019-20 year but thats it. 2020-21 was a terrible year. Supposed to finish 1st in the conference, end up finishing 8th and then losing to duquense in the first round. Last year was horrible until the run in march, overall that was not a good year. Now I know why Looney isn't fired yet if you thats your and other Richmond higher ups think thats successful. And yes, Looney isn't going anywhere most likely but hell imma try to spread the message and get more people on board so we can see Richmond be good again.
80s, please do me a favor. When you next see the Prez and BOT members, ask if UR would admit a student in the 55 percentile of their class?
You should ask them yourself. I am sure the conversation will go well.
This gets scarier and scarier if any truth to it. Not a ringing endorsement of intelligence for those in charge.
Exactly, it seems that all of our fears, about the lack of understanding that a premier college hoops program can bring to an institution, is lost on these empty suits. All is well, All is well.
Flying down Saturday morning. Excited to catch a game!
Out of curiosity, if they don’t read this board, how did they determine it’s way too negative?

Well, there are those who seem to reflect their position. I believe it borders on alternative reality as much as opinions; maybe more so.
I'm sure he gives them a completely unbiased account of the board to keep them well-informed.
I hope the Williams family wins their $51 million law suit. Remember the President is not a Spider, he did not pay money to earn a degree at UR. He is a paid employee, a short term employee at that. Just the lie of ‘sell out’ crowds tell you exactly how credible the administration is.
Probably word of mouth. We would likely have a lot more posters on here if it weren't so negative. I'm about done myself. At some point, it officially loses what it is supposed to be...a fun place to debate and discuss Spider hoops.
I think if there’s some kind of gossip going around about this board then it has developed an irrationally outsized influence.
Mooney is officially the problem. Should have left after his first two NCAA'S. He killed the vibe
I'm still going to the mailbox every day. One day, one day.
My comments are based on conversations I have had with a number of people, which include the 2 past co-board chairs (Paul Queally and Susan Quisenberry). Who are you speaking with MrTbone?
I used these 2 as examples only because they are no longer on the board.
At this stage, who cares what the BOT thinks about this forum. They’ve proven what winning means or rather, doesn’t. The negativity on the forum reflects the reality of Mooney’s tenure of mediocrity. If the BOT along with 3 posters want to swallow alternative reality other than 55 pct, then let them all high five each other and bask in major long term “success”.
It is fair for you to say why you don't like him, but stop with the BS. It hurts your credibility. Mooney has a large percent of fans that support him.
I would like to point out that I know and have known a number of people who attend college basketball games who know next to nothing about the game.
Mooney doesn't need a large portion of fans supporting him, he needs the right person/people supporting him and he obviously has that. So why don't you stop with the BS and call it what it is. As far as announcers go, they read the press put before them and not very well as they are the same ones who says Roche's nickname is Goose. Okay.
I think we should leave it as we agree to disagree on the fan support of Mooney. I’m personally yet to talk to someone who thinks Mooney deserves no criticism, but granted I admittedly haven’t spoken to Queally.
This guy is too funny.
