If my understanding of the NCAA calendar is correct, with LU opening in Blacksburg one month from yesterday (crazy huh?), their training camp window opens soon...(if I read the Football Twitter account they said Camp opens on the 8th

Practice starts Monday

[BJWilliams]

Thanks...I think their window opens this weekend but I did see practice starts on Monday

[BJWilliams]

Well done, Jon. I also watched a bit of Mike Tilley's Facebook Live during the warmups. I am loving all of the additional coverage we have these days in addition ot the fine work of the SIDs and the fishwrap.

I feel like we've been hearing about Lucas Irons for around four years now.

The University of Richmond, William & Mary and James Madison shared the CAA Football championship last season. This season, the Spiders are the state team to beat, according to the STATS FCS national preseason poll released Monday .
Richmond is ranked No. 4 nationally.
The Spiders, tabbed as the CAA favorite in the league’s preseason poll, return 15 starters from a team that went 10-4 and advanced to the FCS semifinals.

Too bad Richmond's coach, Danny Rocco, isn't still at LU. He got tired of Jeff Barber's antics so he moved to Richmond and look what he is doing there. Barber is the one who needs to go so we can keep good coaches.

He got tired of Jeff Barber's antics so he moved to Richmond

Yeah that didn't happen.

We are almost getting to the point we need to put a Rocco Rule in like we do for other former coaches. Ha

I love how history is rewritten by those with an agenda.

Aren't you forgetting the famous 1999 game in Huntington, which was Chad Pennington's last year before he had a long career with the Jets?

Biggest name. Not biggest beat down. The Mountaineers are gracious hosts.

Our biggest beatdowns from what I can remember was playing UCF & USF in back to back weeks I believe in 2001 or 2002. Both scores were 65-0.

[Chris Lang]

The UConn-YSU-W&M stretch in '05 was pretty frightful. 59-0, 42-0, 56-0 in consecutive weeks. My first year on the beat. Woof.

[BJWilliams]

That was a horrific stretch to be sure Lang...it pretty much destroyed the team mentally...

Ask Rocco and/or the real estate agent who sold his house here. You may know some things but you're not all knowing.

Regardless of how it did or did not go down it was best for everybody involved for him to move on.
