VCU Covid
- Thread starter URWilk110
- Start date
I’ve faced the same at UR my man. That’s what inevitably happens in a rivalry. Not excusing it but it’s expected (Especially if alcohol is involved and people can’t hold their liquor.). I’ve definitely got some serious unnecessary verbal abuse at UR different years. Sometimes so bad one of your fans spoke up. I don’t think the majority are bad though. Sometimes it’s been good nature heckling back and forth throughout the game. I got many other teams on the hostile list above you all.

I will say, it's pretty ironic that the A10 moving the finals to Dayton, away from UR (which at the time seemed like a big "F you" from Bernadette) ended up backfiring so much. It's also ironic that the year after UR's NCAA season was ruined by covid, VCU's tourney game is ruined by covid as well
Every fan base has bad apples. For the most part, the VCU fans I've met in person have been fine. It's the ones on twitter who are complete jackasses
Very sorry for VCU players, coaching staff and fans. They had a great season and had a chance to make a nice run in the tournament, which would have been good for the A10 and the City of Richmond. Richmond is my favorite team, but will always support VCU when they are not playing Richmond.
Agreed - I do feel for the majority of VCU fans I know. I wanted them to lose - not have to forfeit
I was hoping they would lose, then get exposed for paying players, given the death penalty, kicked out of the a10, sued by the federal government, and thrown in jail.
Our future is bright. You gotta harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness. Energy. Block. Bad. Feel the flow. Feel it. It's circular. It's like a carousel. You pay the quarter, you get on the horse, it goes up and down, and AROUND. It's circular. Circle, with the music, the flow. All good things.
have you been to many games where the 2 schools play each other? They don’t exactly make themselves very likable in person.
You are welcome. The guy's head is spinning, likely caused by an artificially induced vertigo.
I'm not sorry for them at all and sure as hell do not "always support VCU." They are our arch rival for God's sake. You are in the small minority of fans that always support their arch rival. Good grief.
Do not wish Covid on anyone and pray that anyone who gets it recovers. I pull for two teams every season - the Spiders and whoever is playing VCU.
I Live in Richmond and VCU has single handedly redeveloped most of Broad Street, employs thousands of people and helps educate over thirty thousand students each year, which is wonderful for the Richmond economy and it citizens . Almost every undergraduate student that goes to VCU has no chance of getting into U of R, which means we don't compete for students. The success of their basketball program have helped improve the reputation of VCU and I hope the program continues to do well, as long as we beat them every time we play them.
Their basketball team helps the reputation of the A10. The more successful they are the better for the A10. The Spiders compete with over 350 D1 teams. We can both succeed simultaneously.
Saying your happy at the misfortune of others is classless and not a positive perception of U of R alumni. It lowers us to the level of others we don't want to be associated with. It also shows insecurity, which we should not have, since U of R is an awesome University.
I root for A10 teams, and other midmajors.....this year the A10 is weak and we finished 8th.....how pathetic is that.......and even more pathetic....we don’t admit it
I always pull for my company’s competitors too. Maybe they’ll bring in more revenue than us this year. Their success is our success. 🙄

Been to 4 at the RC and 1 at the cafenasium. Some of the fans that invade the RC would always yell at us in the student section, but nothing crazy. At their place, the game was a blowout and a VCU fan near me offered to buy me a beer because he could tell I was a student and I was in my UR gear. I think a lot of it is luck of the draw based on seating
Ha, ha, ha. Except, we haven't. VCU is blowing us out of the water in terms of success. They go to the NCAA nearly every year, have a national reputation. The only national pub we got was because of our billboard to fire our coach in the past decade.
Wow, Oregon puts up 95 against Iowa. Would love to have seen them blitz you know who!
Bones alone could have scored 95 on Iowa. I'm sure VCU would have hung 130 or so on Oregon.
Eight, again underselling the play of Bones. 95 in the first half. They would have had advanced and then Bones would have 7 dunks over Garza and meanwhile guarded him and held him to an 0-11 from the field.
The entire NCAA one shining moment would have been a Bones Hyland montage as VCU made a magical run to capture the Natty.
This is how it will go down in VCU fandom lore.
I’d be curious on the math, but during Mooney’s 16 years have we made more money off our 2 NCAA appearances or our A10 split of VCU’s units? I guess that could be the logic rooting for VCU since we don’t seem to be all that concerned with making the tournament ourselves...
Well, we have experts on this board, but my rough estimate is you received 42 times as much if you make the tournament vs a conference mate making the tournament.
14x3?
