ARon Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Might be that we have some players that, while they are no longer positive for COVID, are physically not in a place where the medical staff thinks they should be playing. Or it could be Ford just saying F it let’s just play the bare minimum and not take any more losses with recovering players playing at half their potential.

3star_recruit Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Mooney made it pretty clear a few days that he has a serious problem with the universal application of Covid protocols. I wonder if a Richmond coach or staff member still has it and we just found out about it. https://richmond.com/sports/college/richmond/more-than-anything-with-fingers-crossed-spiders-seeking-rhythm-of-competition/article_12c916db-0ccd-5a78-bddf-1517354de6c9.amp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Could we see this postponed game turn into a double header at the fetz later on? Fan Guy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARon Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 How pissed off are you if you are in the A10 league offices today? One of the marquee games of the entire conference calendar and one of Richmond’s only chances to get back in the to at-large conversations down the drain.

AnkielBreakers Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Look, after Tuesday we were probably going to lose. So, maybe we just flat out dodged the game. Medical staff maybe just gave a suggestion. So what. Evansville did it to us. Other teams have been dodging all year. Duke dodged most of its non-conference that would have completely sunk them. It is not fair to stick our players in a bad situation... That said, since the teams were cleared to play (Covid test). The medical staff probably saw something weird on one or more of the players wearables. The ensuing panic probably canceled the game, and nothing is clear. My only hope is that we can practice!

Whew...if that article is true then I guess Richmond is stupid. This is a good silver lining. I would love to get Umass or lasalle in, a little bit more of a "warmup" game.

slufan13 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I'm not saying SLU is right or wrong but it does suck that Richmond was willing to the play the game with whatever unknown factor/protocol but SLU wasn't. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMouthBilliken Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Does this administration’s decision make more sense knowing the spiders were favored and game was on ESPN2? Trying to avoid a bad loss on national tv? Best team SLU has in years and the whole season goes to sh*t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thought crossed my mind as well. I was not feeling good about this one after the way we played Tuesday. Ideally we can play a few creampuffs, while we get in shape, before stepping it up in competition. bauman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting on a private plane, staying in a hotel, and then flying back all on a private plane just so that we can look like we aren't dodging a game seems like an incredibly expensive way to save face.

NH Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Not playing these games puts us in jeopardy of missing the tournament and missing out on $. We have zero incentive to dodge any game or otherwise avoid playing. I'm confident that the coaching staff and the players were excited about the opportunity to beat Richmond, remind everyone that we are the team to beat in the A-10, and get past the bad taste left following the Dayton loss. If our doctors thought it was particularly unsafe to play the game, then I'm glad we aren't putting any personnel at risk. I am hopeful that the reason was a lack of proper protocol with Richmond, as opposed to any health issues with any of our players or staff.
