"All are interesting and valid considerations. I would add one more reason. Similar to how we sometimes try to over think wins and loses and rarely just concede that the other team is just better than we are, maybe we're just better fans than Mason fans? I know they have the most obnoxious fans in both the CAA and the A10 that I've ever experienced. And considering ODU fans, that's really saying something."

LOL

I think...''In short, they can't take it, but they can surely dish it out. The Glass Cannon is characterized by All Offense, No Defense.''

Ah, okay. I tended to think it meant something like paper tiger.
I have never in my life played a video game except when my kids were small and Mario first came out. Now the pinball machines in the old Student Union is another matter.
Just call me Wizard!

Obviously I don't agree with the obnoxious part, but they certainly DO have better fans (on the whole).

He hasn't started even practicing yet (last I heard), which should mean he couldn't possibly play any sooner than a couple weeks from now.

I can't imagine there is any chance he plays this year and wastes a year of eligibility for less than half of a season. He would certainly make our team better if he was playing (duh), but given our depth - it is not a bad year for him to sit out and red shirt.

We don't have any reason to think he wouldn't return next year - not like his stock is any higher than it was last year.

Having the potential of him along with Mincy, Riley, Malik, Stas, Booker and Kanga all returning next year would be a nice change of pace from a roster management standpoint (and there are potential waiver applications for Hill and Long as well).
That's why it would be a stealth unscouted move lol. I know it's really low probability, just wanted to stir up some discourse. O'Connor redshirting seems most likely, but it hasn't been declared yet...

Does anyone have the video of that vcu fan like six years back giving the weirdest interview coming out of a TV timeout? Something about “getting in the other team’s mind”. I like to watch that every once in a while and be thankful God didn’t make me like that

Yeah, I noticed that. Plays all nicey when he's on here.
I read their Mason game thread. All he said was Paul Hewitt was the reason for Mason's demise and it's taken 15 years for Mason to recover to get to this point.

I don't see that as talking Sh-t..more like a constructive critique which is accurate. I'm pretty sure if Mason had hired someone from Larranaga's staff (Caputo?) instead of Hewitt..who drove Georgia Tech into the ground...they would given themselves a better shot at maintaining success upon entering the A10.

Success always starts at the top..look what going from Jack Kent Cooke to Dan Snyder did to the skins. Sorry I will never call them the commanders.

EBA is going to smell for weeks with all these richmond vermin swarming the game on Saturday.
In the future, EBA management really ought to schedule the circus following the vcu games. You know, to help air the PatDome out and clean up the smell.
