Spiders paused through February 12 - GMU, Dayton, GW, and VCU games postponed

I mentioned Curtis Blair once. His answer was that he wouldn't get drafted now, b/c when Curtis was drafted their were a lot more rounds. Now go look up and see which round Curtis was drafted.
Uh, yeah, they cut back to the current two rounds several years before Curtis came through.

Disagree, when I say "pro coach", I guess I have to say "pro coach at the expense of the program". This guy has essentially gone out of his way when Tarrant or anyone non Mooney era is brought up to show how Mooney is better, current guy is better, etc. Hell, I used to communicate with one of the assistants on the staff.

It's a mindset with this crew. 4700. He is "pro coach at the expense of the program".
I don't believe he means to be "pro coach at the expense of the program". the intent matters even if you disagree with him. he wants the program to succeed. the conspiracy theory that he's a Mooney guy and not a Richmond guy is far fetched.
 
Do refs draft?
He was actually a heck of a player, POY in CAA, drafted by world champion Rockets. Freaky Kevin Smith type athlete, with quite a bit of skill. He was probably more of a 1/2 tweener - back in the days of position basketball :), a little small for 2 guard, but not quite really a point. Would have liked to see him go to a team with more opportunity though, Houston had a loaded roster and had Sleepy Floyd out with injury, when he came back Curtis got cut.
 
Doesn't surprise me, I have two in college and have a 100% positivity rate. Of course the bball players are in protocols but still, people are going to interact with others. I am not one that is blaming Mooney for the positive tests, but the SLU game was a bit of an alarm.
 
Are we currently a "likely at-large team?"
No, but we seem to be close enough to the bubble that perhaps his survey trickled as far down as us, depending on how many didn't respond. But yeah, if I had to bet, I'd say weren't included in the group.
 
I’ll bet in the under 30 crowd there are more people with natural immunity than will be vaccinated by summer

Good thing we didn't schedule Tech coming out of our pause as had been suggested...they just had a positive test and their Tuesday game against UNC has been postponed.

Guys it’s gonna get ugly, just telling y’all. Best to just let the vcu guys have their fun. It’s honestly difficult for me to even hate them anymore because they actually take athletics seriously and UR doesn’t. Maybe UR could learn a thing or two from them.
 
Good thing the A-10 makes those decisions.

Sure in the simplest terms. but membership always plays a role. We have a veteran coach and AD it should be an advantage in advocacy, if they were any good at it. Fortunately in this case it’s a no brainer they don’t need to be good. We’ll pick up a good replacement game there.
 
After last week cancellation this one was as predicted. But if they wanted to have it they easily could. They just don’t want to. It’s not like they gather in person at Bill’s bbq anymore. It’s all remote.

You’d think next Monday has a chance to be mildly interesting but I expect lot of pats on the back for dealing w unusual circumstances and then a pep talk from Ivan.

PS also perhaps some analysis of a Carson Wentz trade & a preview of the Eagles next season.

I listened to the recording why I don't know. There were a lot of pats on the back how we couldn't do the protocols any better. If you thought that might lead right into the elephant in the room SLU protocol question you'd be wrong. Neither a surprise tho.

I was a little surprised how much they talked about the St. Mary's game. I get it came after long break but in long run what happened in the game means basically nothing.

Also no Ivan or Eagles. I was wrong there. In fact they didn't have 1 text, 1 call in, 1 tweet. Nothing. Even though they promote the show as exactly that. I realize we don't have the most naturally big fanbase but that's hard to believe. More logically they are ignoring.
