Here are a few quotes I uncovered while trolling William and Mary's message board:
The early quotes show unwarranted optimism. Then the quotes turned dark, as the game slipped through their fingers. The responses are mine.
Sure hope this team is strictly focused on dominating Richmond, and not any playoffs.
Response: W&M doesn't have to worry about the playoffs now.
This team has come a long way from the disjointed one that took the field against Furman
Response: They didn't see the same team we did.
Let’s stomp the Spiders, and make this a great season of Tribe football.
Response: Such unfounded bravado.
This is our championship game. Let’s squish em.
Response: You lost and you still are not going to the playoffs.
Run the score up on this sorry school!
Response: UR's defense had something to say about this.
Hope the energy is just as strong in the 2nd Half.
Reponse: The tide is starting to turn.
Frustrating watching them run the same QB power play over and over, we need to adjust
Response: This must be a closet Spiders fan.
Just like that, our 14 point cushion gone
Response: Only a William and Mary team can lose a cushion in a football game and not be able to find it. Here's a hint- look on the field.
Whatever halftime speech we gave, throw it in the trash.
Response: one man's trash is another man's treasure.
That’s one of the worst 3rd quarters I’ve ever seen.
Response: This is true, unless you are a Spider's fan, in which case it was one of the best 3rd quarters ever seen.
Totally outplayed and outcoached.... Londonball at its finest
Response: How does one respond to this? Enough said.
And another unsportsmanlike call for shoving a Richmond coach.
Response: Do you mean this has happened before?
Richmond's kicker got an unsportsmanlike penalty call? A kicker?!?
Response: Fear the kicker; he's a bad ass.
I hate Richmond
Response: Hate is another way of saying you are jealous.
Losing to a below average Richmond team in your biggest game of the year is less than ideal. Very poor showing.
Response: It’s called Londonball.
Totally confused
Response: it's called Londonball. It's a normal condition accompanied by a nervous tic.
We will be mired in mediocrity.
Response: You should be used to this by now, it's called Londonball.
We came out and showed we were the better team to start, then collapsed.
Response: There's a pattern, it's called Londonball. He was outcoached.
Wickersham played better than Hughes. That was the difference
Response: I am shocked
I’m not totally jumping on London but he certainly has issues against Richmond.
Response: it's called Richmond Derangement Syndrome- RDS. It's not the water in Williamsburg.
I feel as if I have seen this game way to often…
Response: That’s because you are a William and Mary fan.
London could win a Natty .... But he won’t, of that we can rest assured.
Response: He can't because he's at William and Mary.
Some on here would call for his head.
Response: This is a little extreme. William and Mary fans need to have their collective heads examined.
I think that London might be a Spider "asset"
Response: he is
We are 7-5 against a very soft schedule. We should have been 9-3 against this schedule.
Response: You just lost to the 4th placed team in the Patriot League.
We should’ve won that game today. Call it what you want it was my sons last game at W&M and we blew it. Coaching and penalties. We were the better team.
Response: I am sorry for your loss. If he had played for Richmond, he wouldn't have had this problem.
