Richmond at Old Dominion

[Monarch Nation]

Sorry ODUalum11. DIdn't read to the end of the thread or I would have contained myself.

Meh. We will just bring up the memories of the dunkfest we enjoyed at the Siegel Center last year and the CAA Championship win.

That's cute how you guys give out rings for conference championships.

You'd probably throw a ticker tape parade for any UD team that won a caa championship.

Have you ever even made it to a caa semifinal?

Ud fan talking smack about odu basketball......now THAT'S cute ha ha

[YoUDeeMan]

72-55.

Well, UD won 3 CAA championships in 2010-2011 (FB, MLAX & Volleyball) vs. ODU's 2 championships (MBB & field hockey).

Ha, here is the funny part......ODU didn't participate is any of those 3 sports in the CAA last year. This year, ODU has already won a CAA championship in field hockey.

And like I said, we will be making the NCAA playoffs in both FH, men's soccer and football as all of our teams in those sports are nationally ranked.

How many teams from UD will make the playoffs this year? Ok then.

A little bit of pre-ejaculation there, Smacky. Didn't your second place men's kickball team just lose consecutive games to North-freaking-Eastern and JMU? And your FH team hasn't qualified for anything yet. Let's see how they do in the CAA tournament. And your FB team is quite capable of losing 2 in a row and dropping out of contention for an at-large bid. You might want to wait before making any bold proclamations.

So the count is ODU (1 FH regular season championship) and UD zero. Congrats on the dominating us in conference play.

back on topic, it looks like Corp WILL PLAY from what I'm seeing...he was listed as #1 on the two-deep depth chart in the richmond notes...

Also I believe this game has not sold out yet because when one goes to the odu athletics website there is a link people can click on to purchase tickets...must mean that A) Richmond didn't use their allotment and/or B) student tickets havent sold out....

Also weather forecast is for a high of 56, 20% chance of rain, with winds at 19 mph.

Students left 130 tickets on the table.
Now we can sell them at $30 a piece.

Is that correct? I'm sure UR fans did not buy their entire allotment and many were probably returned. That 130 may represent tickets returned from them.

Wood Selig said it on the radio yesterday. Radford mentioned in the DeMarco article today.

Anyone seen a line on this game? I can't access those sites from the office.

Old Dominion favored by 8-1/2. (5dimes)

Old Dominion favored by 8-1/2. (5dimes)

hmmm I dont know....I think Richmond will definitely cover that spread by looking at the conference results of both teams...while Richmond has lost numerous close games in conference, ODU has won numerous nailbiters as well...even lost a couple heartbreakers (UD and Towson).

Of course I got asked to work today from about 3-10 tonight so I'm gonna miss the game.

The marquee match-up in this game is ODU's pass defense vs. UR's pass offense...but of course that's not an earth shattering analysis...

Good thing you aren't a betting man lol.

Nice win for ODU today.

I know that it's a little premature, but good luck in the playoffs. I hope you guys get a home game.

Nice post 86. Thanks.

I see you play UR next week.They are solid offensively. Todays' game was strange given that the wind was gusting to 35-40 regularly yet Aaron corp threw for over 250, 3TD, 1 pick. Taylor Heinicke bested him though throwing for over 375 with 3 TD, 0 picks.

I don't know the status of Aaron Corp. On the Spider's second to last offensive play of the game Corp sustained a fierce hit by LB Craig Wilkins. Corp eventually left the field under his own power so I'm assuming he will start next week. I will just say that Corp doesn't need to bother setting his clock back tonight!

Good luck the rest of the way.

I will let the guy know - I was there to report on the game but he's a professional photographer and it's typical of all his work. His camera is few thousand dollars more expensive than mine.

VBR, those were some great pics.

Here is the highlight from ODUsports: http://tinyurl.com/oduur" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
That one handed TD catch from Richmond at 2:21 was pretty awesome. It even made the espn top 10 last night.

[CAA Flagship]

My take from the game:
UR did a good job pass blocking on Saturday, but has not done a good job all year run blocking. UR has some talented players. With a few bounces going their way, their record could be much better.
I was surprised to see UR countiuously line up offensively from a tight formation though. IMO, with those receivers and Corp, spreading things out would have put much more pressure on our defense.
