VS Dayton March 3

I'd recommend against it. I trust you realize his wife, kids, cousins, and recruits will be there. How low can you go!

I get it, not the classy Richmond thing to do. But do you think it was classy the one time JOC asked Mooney a tough question and he glared at him and gave him the silent treatment and acted like a little baby???? do you will? How do you think JOC felt, the one time he tried to be a real reporter and Mooney put him in his place. Oh I get it, that is OK to treat the media like that but, but the guy getting paid $1.5 million to win games cant take any heat. And he lives in his little protection with big brother PQ and Hardt? Come on man.

we can go lower than how the program has fallen under the hands of CM

Let’s just continue to play like the past 20 years didn’t happen. Or I can only remember the wonderful parts of it. You can’t have it both ways. So we remember all the wins forget all the losses. Well I see about the same number of wins vs losing.

Yeah - The heck with long term fans & season ticket holders who have put up with this for 21 years. We come in last place behind the fam.

Can you name the recruits that will be there? I'd be interested.

The brown paper bags over head r very underrated & effective imo. Old school. Noticeable & usually the tv cameras or photographers will find u. And then u kinda say whatever u want under the bag & have plausible deniability.

It’s hard to park with them on though.

I’m certainly not a fan of this kind of thing, it’s embarrassing to be sure. But sadly this is one of the few things that shakes UR awake.

I get that you’re a CM supporter and therefore any form of disapproval is off the table in your view. But for the rest of us, when the university administration is more likely to make decisions on bad PR over performance, this is one of the only levers that fans have to pull.

 

[Spiders4ever]

No need to boycott anything. The proof is in the pudding.

If now is not the time...............................

 

[MrTbone]

Final home game of the season. Playing a team with a five game winning streak. We just lost on the road to a bad team. I know it’s March madness time but I don’t see us winning this game. The rumor is Anthony Grant has to win this year. Or Dayton might move on with someone else.

Prediction Dayton 65 Richmond 61.

This score prediction feels optimistic to me.

Any bets on whether the halftime show will be the Publix Grocery Cart race or the Dress Like a Spider Layup race?

Tough call. I’m going to say the coordinators go all out and break out the student tricycle race as the finale. Of course, this does require the handful of diehard students to show for the game.

How do you dress like a Spider layup?

Go to a dress shop and visit the misses department.

 

[Arachnid]

Well that was easy!

So you're okay with the same number of wins and losses? Are you John Hardt?

This goes with the territory of being a head coach of a D-1 program. If you don't want to be booed or having your family hearing you being booed, than you should have gone into a different line of work. And quite literally, if you are a fan of the program who wants change, you have the right to express your opinions however you see fit (obviously with some level of respectful decorum).

But if people want to wear bags over the heads, chant fire Mooney at the last home game, e-mail or call the AD, I would encourage any and all of the above. To sit silently and say nothing will be taken as some type of tacit acceptance of the status quo.

And if CM is remotely smart, he is not going to be bringing any potential recruits to the Dayton game with the way the team is playing and the atmosphere that could be awaiting him. That would be a really dumb move if you are trying to woo recruits

I'd venture that there's going to be a lot of people dressed as empty seats for this one.

But yet still no promotions. Remember when they used to give away leftover giveaways at the last home game?

Well it is being marketing as "fan appreciation night". Not sure in what ways they are going to show the fans their appreciations, other than by naming the game "fan appreciation night".
