- Start date
Ra Ra Ra .... lol. Always the super negative, everything's awful poster. Cant we ever just appreciate a 4-1 start to the season after a loss and discuss what we did well instead of pretending this is one of our old 12 win teams or is everything always awful even after a loss to a top 10 team in 24 hours?
Ah, constructive analysis just for the sake of construction, leads one into analysis. In this case, analysis may be what is called for. If analysis helps you, character development will take time. The future is bright, good things are ahead. Take one step at a time. Keep at it. Hard work leads to good results.

Cmon man, Mooney has been hiding in the corner for 8 years. I know you don't like critiquing college athletes, and I tend to agree, but Mooney has been soft as hell for awhile now, pulling in his 1.3. We have a fan base that enables him and Hardt.
I think the future is now, right? This has gotta be it.

a team that is about to graduate nearly 20 seasons worth of UR experience. I've been trying to tell you guys this is the season we have to make REAL noise and build momentum off of it. If we don't make the NCAA tournament and win at least 2, preferably 3 games it will have all been for naught and we will be right back treading water where we have been the past ten years.
Did you write this in 2018? We've been great for about our last 35-40 games. He scrapped his entire defensive system. Recruiting appears to be far better. We win games on the road, and have won something like 17 of 19 at home. What's the problem at this particular point in time?
It snowballed on us badly yesterday but fortunately how good we are is tbd. We are still 5 games in Philly. But I'm with 8legs this year isn't just about getting into NCAA. That was last year and it was taken away. Yes the tourney can be matchup driven especially after round 1, but this should be our best team ever, being solidly in top25, winning A10, getting a good seed is all part of it. That can minimize what can happen in a 1 & done setting in a tough matchup. We need to maximize the other opportunities first.

⬆⬆⬆this guy gets it!! ⬆⬆⬆
if we dont have these expectations for one of our best teams ever then when the hell should we have them!?
Also this couldn't have gone into the other half dozen or so 'Future is Bright' threads? They are certainly more easily found than a Mooney timeout to stem another team's run.
& I think Gallipoli's schtick could be more clever. How about...
U GOTTA WEAR SHADES
Put that on a Spiders T-shirt and I'll order a hundred.

Sorry to say this, but I don't think we should sleep on the Broad Street Rams this year.
Don't think we will. All time they lead us 51 to 34 and have won 9 of the last 12. We did win last time we played them but since they have basically "owned" us ......we won't take them for granted....................
Agreed. I’ll never take VCU for granted. I’m nervous every single time we play them.
We have a lot of work to do. This team has the character, discipline and work ethic to overcome these challenges.
Back to the Future with more Mooney disappointment. Get him out of here. This team is not playing to it's potential. Count me as not surprised.
Completely confused, so why not the future is now bright? The future is now brighter than ever. Greatness is in this team. The great question- was this head scratcher because of lice or is it something else?
The flame from that future candle is shimmering in the wind.
Get ready for Zone World. Richmond is not a good 3 point shooting team, period. No one can get hot (oh how I miss Sherod). And now they can't make free throws, except for Crab-man. Up by 9 in the second half then clank, clank, clank. If I was an opposing coach, it would definitely be zone defense
Yes, but is that brightness from a glorious season and Dancing or headlights of a speeding oncoming locomotive? Don't know yet. Concerns, yes. Gotta believe just as the team needs to now.
A10 season is before us. Carpe Diem Spiders!
You gotta admit - the lights were brighter in the Robins Center than they were at the arena in Indianapolis where we played Loyola-Chicago....................so.......do we play better the "darker" it is?
Ive been thinking this for years and have said any coach who doesnt play zone against us should be fired.
It has been true for years, but no A10 team uses it against them. If UR makes it to the dance, I bet they see it.
It makes no sense to play anything other than a zone against us, never has.
Not giving up yet. The Spiders did the same thing last season with the last non-conference game and were able to get to the bubble at least. The best news is there is no clear favorite this year, so they have a better chance in theory. However, the Spiders are running out of chances.
This reminds me of the Radford game. Spiders never give up, unless all is lost.
We beat Wisconsin which was the only reason we were in the discussion. No win OOC even close to that.
I would have thought that was more than us losing to Radford and Hofstra on back-to-back December 22nd
Damn, was it really the same exact day last year? Unreal. That’s it — never again do we play on this date.
