Going with Bill's suggestion of an undated thread devoted to the team.

Strange year coming for A10 basketball, and the Spiders.
Good, experienced set of players returning. (got Mooney and extension)
Tragic news about losing Sherod. Will definitely impact results.
Picked as "sleeper" FF team...a little ambitious.
Sharing pre-season championship trophy with the Billikens.

Over/under on "Fire Mooney" billboard is January 15th.

Hope we get some basketball this year. Looks more and more dicey everyday.
Bourbon supply is holding.

GO SPIDERS 🏀🕷

Fortunately, he included “University” in the thread title. Otherwise, one could have easily thought it was another Confederate Capital chat. I have heard just about ENOUGH of Jefferson Davis!

Paul, never, never share a preseason championship, or any championship. You will end up being co-co champions with 2 and 3 seeds.

We had it in the bag...then Welser screwed it up.

Actually a little surprised with the loss of Sherod. But any publicity is good.
"Richmond's three players on the A-10's Preseason First Team or Second Team are the most by any school since 2011, "

Your team has a pretty tough OOC schedule followed by tough A10 teams to start your conference schedule. Should be interesting.

Sometimes it seems that playing a tough OOC schedule prepares a team for the grind of the conference.
This year with all the Covid stuff, and losing Sherod, I would have no idea how things will turn out.

"The Spiders pulled confidence from the small deficit and turned that into better execution after halftime, leading to the biggest win away from home in program history."
