Inside Spider MBB

[97spiderfan]

I'm skeptical as well. But he has said on record that AA is back. So, if that is true it will at least give some credence. But my question is.

What is general mood in the Robins Center, re our men's program. Is it a company town so to speak or are their a lot of people in the building that quietly grumble about Mooney?

Love this thread. This message board is the best part of the hoops program right now - unfortunately.

I thought if it was on the internet it must be true?

For me the Forum has been the best part of the Men’s basketball program basically since I joined it. I want to say that was 2015. That is the reason I did everything an “outsider” could do to try to make sure that something survived after the ON3 takedown.

I have learned lots more about the other UR sports along the way (football, lacrosse, Women’s basketball) and enjoy reading about them even though I am far and away primarily a college basketball fan.

My questions for the “insider”:

What does the Men’s program think about the Women’s program, a program moving in the opposite direction? Why is that team succeeding?

What is the feeling about lacrosse being the premier sport at UR?

I do not for a second think this is an insider who is part of the program.

1. Why would someone part of the program post on a message board?
2. Why would someone part of the program call us soft and say we lack rebounding grit, even if true?
3. Why not just say who you are if you are an insider who wants to share some information?
4. So far, everything shared is something any random fan could say.
5. The name spiderinsider seems a little overboard.

Maybe he's deep throat

No worries, but I don't believe you.

in one sentence, there's our difference!
you're skeptical, while I'll believe anyone, lol.

insider ... is Simmons the one we should be most excited about early in the current 5 man freshman/redshirt class?

It does make you wonder why we seem to do things that very few other basketball teams do at any level.

Like lose twice to a team with seven other wins all year and blow huge leads in consecutive games...

Has Mooney gotten any interest from other programs? What can we do to help him make a decision to move on?

Right now it’s all that’s left after another crappy season, one and done in A10 tourney again, and on the outside of NCAA looking in 18 out of last 21 years.

There’s more basketball knowledge and creative thought in this forum than what supposedly lives in the RC running, or maybe I should say ruining our bb program.

Maybe Godwin HS will come open soon.

 

[Spider B]

Maybe Godwin HS will come open soon.

As a Godwin Alum, we dont want him.

 

[Section9_RowD]

He was dealt an unfortunate blow with a lower back injury which kept him off the court. Loads of talent — hope he realizes it.

Likely will not return to UR.

hopefully he can get a medical redshirt (realizing he likely will use it elsewhere?)

Apparently it is "Natural Irish Blonde" https://www.astonandfincher.co.uk/framcolour-7-635.html#:~:text=Framesi Framcolor Glamour, 7.635 Natural Irish Blonde 100ml

That is now going to be the nickname of someone I know “7.635”…

I won’t reveal my identity for the same reason Trilly Donovan doesn’t reveal theirs. You can either believe me or not.

Did your handle on the rivals board have alternating Capital letters?
