Robins Center Attendance Watch

[MrTbone]

I'm just saying that it appears the ticket office is taking proactive steps to make sure the RC won't be swarmed by VCU fans. I view that as a positive, not something to be criticized.

And yes, obviously winning is the best promotion.

With you Wood, if my comment came across as a criticism of the ticket office and marketing folks, that was not at all my intent.

My point is we can’t muster enough fans for a rivalry game. That’s pretty much about being 9-14 this year and 12-20 last year.

 

[Spider B]

Ulla, just so you know VCU is Richmond’s biggest rival in basketball. Welcome to reality!

 

[urfan1]

W&M may be our rival in football, but not in basketball -- vcu hands down!

 

[MrTbone]

Careful responding like that t. Ulla may go ahead and doxx you too.

True. Perhaps not my finest moment.

Ulla, I take back the whoohee and yeehaw. We’re even on the wow.

 

[urmite]

Wow! Thanks for the update, Mr. T. Guess I never thought of vdu as a rival; always considered our rival to be William and Mary.

As an institution? Certainly!

If the success of the William and Mary Basketball Program is what we are striving for, that may not be our best option...

Wow! Thanks for the update, Mr. T. Guess I never thought of vdu as a rival; always considered our rival to be William and Mary.

Ulla, love you. Mean it. But this is ridiculous... VCU is and always has been our biggest rival in basktball.

I’d also argue JMU over William and Mary for football...

 

[SpiderRick]

Was that meant for me or ulla?

Ulla....looks like he has been put in TIME OUT...

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I’d also argue JMU over William and Mary for football...

Nope.

 

[Marley13]

Ulla is an Uber fan but when things aren’t going his way he gets defensive and attacks. Wish his coach was the same.

 

[urmite]

Always?

Last 50 years? Certainly!

I don’t think VCU was the rival of the Warren Mills team...

 

[FrontRoyalSpider]

Richmond and VCU started playing each other my senior year at UR.....1975-1976.

Did that include the RPI days before the merger with MCV made them reputable ?

 

[64Spider]

Well I just got a "Basketball Game Day" email and it has the wrong start time. Unless they have changed the game to 7pm ! Great, even most mediocre programs at least proofread their media.

 

[ur2K]

It has been a problem all season long, it’s comical at this point.

[iSpider]

I'm going to make this very clear. If anyone reveals or attempts to reveal personal information about another poster, that poster will be gone.

Would that apply to the subject matter and location of Ulla's tattoos?

 

[FrontRoyalSpider]

W&M may be our rival in football, but not in basketball -- vcu hands down!

Actually W&M is our long time rival in football. JMU is our most hated & fiercest rival in football

We know, we know...the Dillweeds from the Chicken Coop. They're the bane of your existence. What are they going to call their new Convo Center, the Hen House?

 

[AnnapSpider]

There was a time when W & M owned us, then the pendulum swung. That happens in rivalries, look at
the greatest college rivalry- Army vs. Navy.
Unless there are major changes by our program or W &M’s program, the pendulum will always
swing back and forth.

 

[FrontRoyalSpider]

We know, we know...the Dillweeds from the Chicken Coop. They're the bane of your existence. What are they going to call their new Convo Center, the Hen House?

The Dillweed Arena!

 

[urmite]

The Dillweed Arena!

So, they gave you naming rights?

 

[SpiderK]

I say we were pushing 6000 tonight. Good crowd. Even a few students sprinkled in. Varina band was badly needed.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Did we ever get around to announcing a sellout for the home VCU game?

 

[SpiderK]

Did we ever get around to announcing a sellout for the home VCU game?

I dread suffering through that game.

 

[MrTbone]

I dread suffering through that game.

I’m heavily contemplating not going. I have been brought low...

 

[SpiderK]

I’m heavily contemplating not going. I have been brought low...

I hear ya, my elderly parents aren’t going and I don’t want my daughter to go. I will of course burn my tickets to protect the people around me.

 

[DTSpider]

If you want to really protect those around you, burn their tickets as well...

 

[Tickman]

Did we ever get around to announcing a sellout for the home VCU game?

Yep, I bought the last ticket.

 

[Eight Legger]

Didn't buy season tickets this year and sure as hell am not spending $150 to take my family to see us get embarrassed on our home court.

kinda jealous...

Our four seats will be empty for the first time in many years. Headed to Williamsburg to do the William & Mary tour instead.

 

[SpiderRick]

WTF I'm finally back off a 5 week vacation and there's NO game this weekend?? When is the last time we had a mid February weekend with no basketball?

It's summer in New Zealand, I'm going back.....

SpiderRick I don't blame you for going back! It would be a lot more fun viewing all those bikinis in New Zealand than watching the Spiders lose basketball games!

I believe the merger was 1968 but it took until 2000 for it to make them reputable. MCV disappeared in 1996...VCU Health appeared in 2000.

Yet more people than not still call it MCV. I know I do and hope to never have to use that hospital unless for severe trauma.

 

[DTSpider]

Say what you want about it...we’re lucky to have MCV. There are some world class doctors there.

 

[Tickman]

Classy, Who knows? They may actually save a life or 2 one day.

I'm glad they're there, But I hope to never have to use them -- are you a tad thin skinned?

Yes Mr. Moderator I am when it comes to defending a hospital.

I'm not going to use MCV for anything other than a bad car wreck or have to go to the burn center. Went there when I was 7 after being in a bad car wreck. Don't want to go back unless I have to. Not slamming MCV at all. Don't want to go to UVA or Johns Hopkins either.
