This tweet is clearly from somebody who knows nothing about Richmond basketball and making his judgment based on the last 5 days.

What crap. That's like a C student who gets an A on his last test, and calling him a Rhodes Scholar. With what we were going through AT THAT TIME (two 20 loss seasons in a row), the anger and frustration was totally justified. Twitter people like that are just narcissists, they say outrageous things just to get more likes or tweeters or whatever those folks get.

I beg to differ from this tweet. I think the fans that put the infamous billboard up are the true heroes of this NCAA run. This program was absolutely dead and going nowhere until the billboard went up. It lit a fire under the players’, coaches’, and admin’s collective asses to win. Before the sign we were 25-40 and after the sign we are 62-28. The fans behind the billboard should get free court side seats and parking for life. I truly thank the Billboard Warriors!!
the turnaround was well under way before the billboard. whatever happened 7-9 years before in recruiting was behind us. we had already been recruiting much better. we had young talent. it took awhile to gel.
the billboard in no way helped. it didn't even help short term.
it may have helped keep Mooney, though. so in retrospect maybe you're right and the billboarders are heros who got us where we are today.

There will be plenty of time for this discussion after the season ends.
Spider-Man I find myself agreeing with your posts often and I appreciate your insight/perspective. But you’re getting this one completely wrong.
It doesn't matter one way or the other. All I ever wanted out of Mooney is to be right here every other year or so. The next couple of years will be telling.
It's game day. Give it a rest, both sides.
