Chris Mooney (9-29) - worst rivalry coach of all time

Anyone have an athletic subscription and want to share where Richmond-VCU rivalry ranks? A UR/VCU photo is on the front of the tweet so hopefully it’s ranked highly.

LOL, 44th.

Why it’s here: The Capital City Classic — once known as the Black & Blue Classic — is one of the few rivalries in which the teams have played every season since the series tipped off. Less than seven miles separate the schools, and nearly every game is sold out. They have met six times in conference tournaments, with four coming in the Atlantic-10. No one could predict that one of their few nonconference matchups would be a crossing of paths on their way to the most important seasons in school history.

Biggest game: In 2010, Richmond dominated from start to finish and ended a six-game losing streak to VCU with a 72-60 win on Dec. 11, but this game is memorable for what the cross-town foes accomplished later that season in stunning March runs. Richmond won the A-10 tournament and then beat Vanderbilt and Morehead State to advance to its second Sweet 16 ever. VCU qualified for the First Four as an at-large, beat USC to reach the field of 64, then sealed its place in NCAA Tournament legend by beating Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State (in overtime) and top-seeded Kansas to qualify for the Final Four, where it lost to Butler.

If we held our end of the bargain, the rivalry could be top 25 in the country.

Mooney called a TO on the rivalry. It's hard to beat your rival.

Completely agree 17. If we are both good it is sold out and frenzied crowds. Mooney has killed it.
