    2025 playoff prognostications

    Coach Cahill is the total package. Hoping he will remain at Lehigh and maintain the level of quality he has built there. Attended our game there this year and loved the stadium, surrounding area with a great downtown for food and drinks and most importantly a solid fan base that welcomed us as...

    Mark Cuban bank rolling Indiana Football

    We are a national entity in FCS football circles based on our success and history which includes a National Championship. For many alumni that is irrelevant and they will never be satisfied because it was not done at what is considered the highest level. For others like me, the pride that...

    When average FCS QBs have (reps) as cited above the days of student athletes at any Division1 football program are over.

    Transfer Portal

    Wonder what Coleman is thinking now. Coach that lured him to JMU goes west taking his #1 QB and Napier coming in with plenty of contacts to bring in his preferred QB. Portal is a real gamble unless you get big money NIL or just like giving up a starting roll to watch others play and you root...

    Transfer Portal

    I don't know the answer on the red-shirt issue, but this is a tough decision. Seelmann is a good example. Local kid that we brought in that did not have the size to go FBS as a LB. Coaches saw his athletic ability and high motor and played him 12 games as a true freshman on special teams and...

    2026 Commits

    Looks like another solid class. It has become obvious that FBS schools are no longer offering kids that are developmental prospects and are not recruited as immediate contributors at the FBS levels. They offer scholarships to the mature kids that have developed at FCS or lower level programs...

    2025 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - Lafayette

    I appreciate the views and healthy debate that we are now seeing on this board. I have found myself coming back more regularly because of that. We all care about Spider Football which is the important thing. I will agree that I have been frustrated many times especially this year with QB play...

    2025 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - Lafayette

    I was definitely not satisfied with the overall outcome of this season but do recognize the quality program that has be reestablished and maintained since Huesman took over. We lose kids because this staff knows how to recruit and develop talent on a consistent basis. Talent, a culture of hard...

    2025 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - William and Mary

    This season has definitely been a roller coaster of a ride. I was devastated after the Lehigh loss which I still feel could have been different outcome if we don't have the snap issue with first and goal to go up 14 to 0 with under 2 minutes to go in first half. Then some weird play calling...

    Richmond goes to the playoffs

    This season has been frustrating for many reasons. Inconsistent play on both sides of the ball and suspect play calling being the main culprits. That being said, this team has the talent to play with anyone if we get solid QB play. Our offensive schemes have been very predictable and times...

    2025 Richmond Spiders Football - Countdown - Lehigh

    Safely arrived in Bethlehem and enjoyed some great food and drink in the local eateries downtown. Ready for some tailgating in morning and a great game. Limit turnovers and big plays and Spiders start season with a big win. Looking forward to a great game and meeting some Lehigh fans pregame...

    2025 Richmond Spiders Football - Countdown - Lehigh

    Kyle will be the key. He definitely will add a weapon with his running in the short yardage package. He has shown he can complete passes to open receivers but the key is can he fit the ball in tight spaces and make quick reads and decisions. Hopefully he will see the field better and play...

    Spider Football Pre-Season Breakfast with Coach Huesman

    My takeaway from the breakfast is that Russ really likes the talent and depth on this team. Young players are athletic but need game experience to be able to react and play on instinct rather than worrying about making mistakes. 25 and 3 in our last 28 CAA games is extremely impressive. Lets...

    2026 Commits

    This staff continues to find its niche on the recruiting trail. Great incoming class of freshmen this year and next year's class is looking excellent to this point. Winning, great facilities, academics and solid stability in coaching for an FCS school have us knocking on the door of being a...
