VCU Game Thread at the Stu- 4pm Sat ESPNU/ESPN+ (?)
- Thread starter Section9.RowD
- Start date
It is telling that the Ram board loves Mooney as our coach. Life tenure is fine with them. Figure they start most seasons with two near guaranteed victories.
Got to do better. Let's start March 2!

We should put u in charge of immigration & homeland security. You'd be great at it.
Good lord man. Really? Yeah, GK must REALLY hate our school and program to spend 30 years posting about it on the message board and attending and watching games. What an ass he is.
It's your absolutist, hyper defensive posts like this that make it so obvious you have some personal connection to Mooney and/or the program. Literally no one else on this board behaves this defensively all the time.
way off topic, but I was watching the end of Clemson's win @ UNC last night and the announcer said this win brings Clemson's career record at Chapel Hill to 2-60.
holy cow. I know UNC is a historic program, but 2-60? Clemson's had some good teams, no?
and former Spider target Ian Schieffelin is averaging almost 10 rpg in the ACC. that's crazy. he's not very big and doesn't seem like a special athlete. he just goes and gets it. really impressive.

Hey a Mich and Ohio State Football coach or two have been pushed out with winning records over losing to their rival.
It has been said multiple times that the VCU rivalry is not a true rivalry cause we cannot beat them consistently. I am a 76er and I cannot tell you how much I hate losing to those SOBs. I see them reload coaches and continue to own us. Maybe Monney should have an incentive clause that is based on these two games. 0-2 you lose percentage of pay, 1-1 you stay where you are and 2-0 you gain bonus.

24-7 is extraordinarily great
8-25 no big deal
VT logic 🤷♂️

This board really sucks. You guys have fun being all upset about being 8-1 IC right now. I will be enjoying the ride without your crap.
VT,
Everyone is enjoying the 8-1 conference record.
No one is enjoying the 8-25 record against VCU.
Can have both feelings and be a loyal Spider fan.

Being here is totally optional, in case you didn’t know that.

Yeah, how many of those are vcu fans since they decided to open up sales of this game to the general public this season.
Typically they just have to show ID. I guess it's first come, first served unless they decide to implement a booking system for this one.
Agree Spider Dad but arent all teams doubling King at this point? Was VCU so much better than all others? CM has to expect this every game and have an andwer for it, not just “lets hope the others come through.”
Interesting. Any reason for that? It seemed to be a success how they were doing it.
The 1 game we sell out every year....but remember it's VCU's Super Bowl!
I'm hearing this game has a chance to be picked up by the national CBS station coast to coast. Just needs a few tweaks..."The Capital City Classic featuring the worst rivalry coach of all-time. "
A mid-week bye is not what this forum needed.
I meant VCU is the 1 game we consistently sell out annually. It's the 1 game we know we'll get a sellout. Any other sellouts are variable. It's not like we sell out Davidson or Mason every year.
We obviously don't play most teams at home every year, plus there was a COVID year in there recently where we had nobody in attendance.
But of course, I'll agree VCU is a steady sellout...if there happens to be any shortfall in UR demand, we've still got all the VCU fans buying season tickets and reselling our other games for a profit, or so I've heard.

I'm not sure what prompted the change. I rather enjoyed seeing vcu fans being priced out on the secondary market in years past. We will see what their presence is like on game day. I was talking to my main college hoops buddy at work about our last game and how we could have really taken the wind out of their sails and had an RC that more closely resembles their arena in terms of home vs away fan distribution for the return matchup. But alas, I think they are now just more emboldened so that combined with anyone being able to buy tickets, we need to come out hot because want to shut them up EARLY
You realize only the newb in that list is there anymore right? That’s pretty much GKs point.
It’s ok if you want to argue the vagaries of if it’s more or less egregious than other loss records against rivalries, but there’s really no denying it’s epically bad. I mean, it is. Is he .000? No, but most coaches don’t get to -17 against their rival because most programs won’t keep them around long enough to amass that poor of a showing.
