That's pretty cold blooded. I thought Mooney did a pretty good job when he first started out there. Gotta be tough sharing (and pretty much being the little brother in this scenario) the city with VCU and all their hype.
Wake fans did that a few years ago

when Bzdelik was the coach.
he had a few good years

But they've been mediocre to bad for a while now despite having pretty good talent.
Islander fans did this for Garth Snow  
Metnut : 2/21/2019 4:48 pm : link
He was fired and now the team is in first place and it's almost March.

Good for Richmond fans.

I can't read billboard on BBI

without thinking of that guy that thought putting up a billboard of a random team equalled a championship, and he would send you a drawing if you wanted or something? I'm not doing a great job of explaining it but it was pretty asinine. Maybe somebody remembers better than me.
Pretty fucking lame, IMO.

No offense, I'm a VA guy but it's Richmond. It's Richmond. If it was the U (JMU) we'd have a different discussion, but it's the freaking Spiders.

Hey, I'm a cross town rival VCU guy...  
Britt in VA : 2/21/2019 8:47 pm : link
but even I think it's lame.

He's got a sweet 16 win and is the all time winningest coach in UR history, I think.

Marvin Lewis is the all time winningest coach in Bengals history.
Well, with Dick Tarrant in a hospice...

and Kenny Atkinson doing magic with the Nets, who the hell are they getting at U of R?
He's no Dick Tarrant, for sure

That S16 was a looooong time ago.

Jason Williford is a Richmond native and has learned a lot from Tony Bennett. He would be a great candidate.
Try being an alumnus of Fordham

Last in the A-10 every year with a succession of lousy coaches, horrible rosters, with no hope for any improvement. If Richmond fires Mooney, I'll drive down to Richmond, pick him up and return northbound, across the GW Bridge and onto Rose Hill. Bye bye Neubauer or however he spells his name. Ugh.
I don't know anything about the team or the coach, but that's way over

the line. The guys family and friends will see that sign. It's cold, hard and mean. Whoever was responsible for it needs to take a look at his life.

That's how I see it. Richmond is a small world, a small knit community.

a)Gee, can't imagine why a Ram fan doesn't want to see Mooney go.

b)Richmond's not NYC but it's not Mayberry or anything either.

Where in Richmond is that?
Richmond has a basketball team?

Who knew.
Looks like 95 southbound
