Lol. I do. No offense.

Spiders social media amping this up as "A rivalry renewed". God, they are so pathetic. We haven't played Furman since 1976, so most fans who actually watched the last UR-Furman game are dead now. And do we really want to consider Furman a rivalry. I realize we are polishing turds at this...

According to whom? I think we all know where those 4 bids will be coming from. It won't be high quality mid major that win 25 plus games, it will be barely above .500 high majors. I would consider expansion if you had a stipulation that you had to at least be above .500 in conference. If...

You have to take any heart related issue seriously. Hope Jaden is back quickly and whatever issue he has is minor and does not require any further medical intervention.

Grand Canyon, Santa Clara, and San Francisco are all pretty high quality mid major programs who are expected to be good next year. They also got either a Big 10 or ACC program in their MTE. While not anything to brag about, those 4 games are better than anything on our schedule. I have...

Thanks, I figured they were crappy seats but was notable because in previous years you had to make a donation before being eligible for season tickets.

Just got an e-mail from VCU, season tickets start as low as $475. So that is not that much higher than what we charge now. And obviously much better product and much better schedule they are playing.

Completely agree. I said before my Mooney PG comp for Tyne is Khwan Fore. Hyper athletic, fast PG but a sizeable step below Mooney's A list of PG (KA, K-Zero, Ced, SDJ, Gilly). I put my supporting cast comment regarding last year in the same vein of he needs to show significant improvement...

I wouldn't say he is getting "calls" to be our starting PG, unless you are referencing Mooney, who is the ultimate call maker. I think the overall sentiment is that Tyne best role would be that as a 6th man but also think Mooney is comfortable with him knowing the offense and thus he will be...

While I'm never one to begrudge a good bargain, you would think with what the past performance and current expectations for our women's program, we would charge a bit more for season tickets.

The amount of revenue they get from ticket sales/season tickets is probably one of the smaller revenue sources for our MBB program. Further they are making up for any decrease in actual renewals by raising prices and they probably have a couple either bigger donors or companies that either buy...

I too am up in the air. Been a season ticket holder for 20+ years. Found myself missing games last year due mainly to the product and leadership but also the generally stale atmosphere at the RC. Empty seats were noticed early and often as well. And now they want to charge me more for a...

VT, you are growing on me:)

If they increase it to 72, that is just going to be 4 more P-5 teams that don't deserve to be in the tournament getting in. All of the non P-5 conference need to stand firm and band together and demand a more fair process and access to the NCAA tournament before they vote to expand. The P5's...

Wow. Yes. That is the parent's job. Certainly, the coach should be a role model, run a clean program and help young men develop, but those are job prerequisites for a Division 1 coach. It is amazing how Mooney has been able to morph his basic job prerequisites into how we define success...
