Game thread - @URI 2PM SAT Feb. 7th. ESPN+

Think about this. We are currently 3-7 tied with compatible brethren Fordham & La Salle. Only St Bon & Loy Chi are below us.

In order the next 4 games are RI, GM, VCU, & Davidson. All 4 are better teams than us. I hope we sweep all of them. However the practicality of that is slim, and the there's a greater chance we get swept. If that scenario happens, we will have lost 9 in a row.

We beat 3 of those and get 2 more. Thats 5 wins, what more can you want?

Davidson is a bad matchup with us. VCU played terrible last game I doubt it happens again. Rhode Island is a 50 percent chance. George Mason is probably a bad matchup for us

He could just get a gig in radio or tv I'm sure that would cover his expenses. He should have so much invested - if he just invested in spy or Dow tracker funds he has a huge nest egg - that he really doesn't need to worry about much more. His boys will probably get scholarships or go to Richmond for free. Or he could take that D3 job - but as much as we get annoyed by his seeming lack of motivation - he didn't stay at the lower level gigs or even AF very long. Service academies is a relative low pressure D1 gig.

At this point in what he has earned at UR and excluding retirement benefits or annuity from UR and other investments, no way is money an issue for him staying. On the other hand money may or may not be an issue in letting go of him. Bottom line - monetarily he wins.

I’ll take a Bernie’s Sub. Better chance of getting a good sub there than us getting 5 more wins.

Ch Southern, Furman, and Elon are also bad matchups for us.

I almost forgot. Thanks

 

[MrTbone]

GM and VCU are always bad matchups for us, low chance on either. Normally we play on away at Davidson but they just smoked us, so low confidence on that.

Maybe URI but away game, not loving our chances.

Hoping for a huge blowout embarrassing loss for the hapless, uninterested and under qualified Coach Chris “Id rather be cooking brisket” Mooney.

Nah - always want a Spiders win - Big Mike deserves to end his 4 year Spiders career with some Feb and March wins.

Yeah, as much as I would love to see a change at the top, I just can't bring myself to root against the guys in UR uniforms.

Agree. I will always root for our players and will always want us to win.

 

[MrTbone]

Agree. I will always root for our players and will always want us to win.

I’ll never root against the Spids but I also can admit that I won’t be sad if/when we lose.

This is a horrible place to be as a fan.
