VCU 1/29

I remember that Temple game well. I drove all the way from Harrisonburg, which I ever since have said might just have been the most stupid thing I've ever done based on road conditions & having my wife & 5 year old grandson with me. We didn't arrive until the baby race was over, but did get to enjoy the 2nd half.
 
And here's the game I was remembering originally...holy hell, it was NINETEEN years ago. We held them scoreless for the first 11:06 of the game. Never seen anything like that before or since (though in the game I linked above, we were held scoreless more than 12 minutes to start the second half).

I think he means 6 losses out of last 11 at home by "rare"... :rolleyes:
0 for 3 A-10 Tourney
2 for 13 on Broad Street

I think that is correct...
Those are horrendous numbers. Of all teams for us to be on the regular losing side against, VCU is not the one. That should send a loud message to Cattle Man, Queally, and anyone else associated with decision making. I'm afraid it's just another day at the office.

"Depending which group of VCU fans you are by you’ll get anything from good discussion to being spit on (maybe not during Covid) or drinks/food sent your way. The walk back to the dorms (or car in your case) is also a time they’ll take cheap shots in the rare instances they** lose. They hurl Lots of racial slurs too"

Please don't judge all of us by VCU Gun Girl, she's more like one of you anyway.
 
Question for the Richmond natives…Is it still looking like 3-4 in of snow and how is the state and school about cleaning roads? SpiderMom isn’t going for it but I still want to try and make it. I hate not to be a big rivalry game even though Dji is still out😞…any help/advice is appreciated 🕷🏀
Seeing that Richmond likely will get closer to 1-2" with more the further east ur...be careful

I don’t know about weather but just want to say to brace yourself.

That’s a fact, they are a nasty bunch as a whole. Few nice ones, but rare.
 
I’m thinking VCU will be a very tough matchup for Tyler. We should play more Nick if they lock him down early. Definitely worried about Tyler’s ball handling and doing to much to create might cause unnecessary turnovers vs VCU
we're not sitting Tyler. I expect he'll get his usual minutes.

Not overly concerned about Ram's vaulted 3 pt defense (am concerned about ours). To smother the 3, other defensive areas suffer. Believe Spiders are very capable (not assured) of hurting them badly inside. Match ups are there for exploiting. Spread the floor, work it inside, and like the odds of success from our front court.

Need the aggressiveness of the second half team from RI game to show up to make it happen though.
 
I will be stealing the ram horns of that one dude if we win. Been planning on doing it for a while. Will walk over to where he’s sitting and rip them right off his head and run. I feel pretty confident I can out run him.
 
Wish I could be there, I especially loved going to these games while still a student. Oddly enough, when I went to a UR-VCU game at VCU, their fans were very nice to me. However, the ones that infect the Robins Center were always rudely belligerent. Hope to see a red heavy crowd on TV.
 
there's only one cure..
Yes, defeat the Feces U Rams, who attend VDU. I want to remind all attending the game, the CDC has issued new protocols and guidelines for contact with lambs. Any person, who comes within 10 feet of any lamb from Broad Street U, must take immediate steps to cleanse himself of all contamination.

No he won't. At least not at the game, since the rumor is Horns hasn't been to a game, and won't if there is anyone in the building not wearing a mask, including players on the court.

Given his plethora of pre-existing conditions, that is probably a good thing. Also good for whomever has to sit next to him that they don't have to delouse their clothing after the game.
 
So VCU fans are all as high as shit right now off their Q1 over Davidson and are of course yammering on about their at large chances. I wish for once, Mooney could just do us a solid and shut them up.

I don't ask much of you Mooney (in fact, I don't ask anything because I'm not an idiot and won't let you let me down again) but can you pretty please just do this tomorrow. Please don't have the same shit ass approach, learn from the Rhody game, press these dudes, hits the offensive glass, and have our team pumped and ready to come from the opening whistle.

I might advice excusing yourself from the pregame message with the players, because whatever you are saying, clear acts like some type of horse tranquilizer and we come out and sleep walk through the first 10 minutes. Maybe pass this task on to Hovde, he seems like a fiery type of guy. He couldn't possibly do any worse.

Beat VCU.
 

thx. Mooney said we had good record against a great non conf schedule. It’s above average sure maybe pretty good. Get to top 70 & maybe it’s great. U might have thought great going into season but it’s not. The Sos #s might improve some more by end of year but it won’t ever be great.

but given some of those media questions about how great we are I guess not too surprised everything is great & they won’t question that.

He’s excited about rivalry but just once maybe own part of us not holding up our part in the rivalry. I’m sorry I don’t think he really gets it. Yet could tell he was still really bitter about not getting to play vcu at home last year. Well we’re 7-20 vs vcu it was more likely a loss anyway.
