So are my hands.....which you seem to've just prescribed to with that with that comment, lol. darn, some ppl take an exaggerated passionate comment and respond to say take medicine to address a possible mental illness? That's what this world has come to? Beautiful!
I saw the pics you posted earlier. Very intimidating.

Lol, seeing how you wanna continue this.....you are more than welcome to come find out for yourself. I am passionate about our team to which you took offense to for some reason. If you wanna get nasty, then I can dig it. I told you where I am at and you know what I look like.

I would say that a good coach wouldn’t put so much on them today without playing them and preparing them all season. Our rotations today were insane and didn’t line up with anything we had done through 34 games this season.
not arguing that but we had far worse foul trouble today against a big team. he had no choice.
the fact that they were not ready after 34 games does not suggest a bright future at this level.
and yes, since A10 level is on the decline perhaps the two lines intersect down the road.

I wouldn’t drive up and down 95 to DC if my life depended on it after going to the GW game and remembering how bad the drive was.

But if you actually know the names of any of the bars around VCU’s campus, then you could meet me at one. Have you ever been on campus?

We didn’t have bad foul trouble today compared to normal. Our rotations were very different than they’ve been.

Okay, so then stop talking..but jokes aside, you are right, 95 does suck. That being said, i posted a passionate comment about fake fans to which you responded to. Are you a fake fan and that's why you had an issue, or you just always looking for a fight?

And I went to VCU from 02 to 06. You are the one taking issues with my comment. So if you have an issue my dude, and you know what I look like and where my location is....come find me. You took a general statement and made it personal and about you for some reason.

Honestly, I don’t give a F right now dude. We could have a drink or we could throw down. We could do both. I don’t really care.

a somewhat bad situation vs a team with very good bigs made it a bigger issue today and made for tougher decisions for Rhoades who is known for dodgy decisions of this nature.

Very small sample. Fermin blocked two shots today. Big men take more time to develop.
That is the point. The big man depth chart all season was

Johns/Deloach
Shriver
Lawal
And finally Fermin

Even today, Shriver was the rotating big from a defense standpoint. He logged more minutes defending the SMC big Sexen then anyone including John's and Deloach.

Shriver put up good effort but could not stop him. MR did not go Fermin until he tried Lawal first and then both our bigs picked up foul trouble.

Ideally, Fermin should have the 3rd big all season..not Shriver.

He's playing at like 235-240 right now which has reduced his laterally quickness and eliminated his explosiveness needed for rim running and rim protection, he struggles defending the pick and rolls and ball screen action. He can't shoot free throws.

His physical shape and game needs to be completely transformed in 8 months in order to replace Johns and perform in this system

But then we wouldn't have the three point shooting. Shrive gave us his all. Fermin would still be a freshman and have freshman moments. But I do like what you are thinking in that regard. The game we played today wasn't about our D it was about our O. Are shots didn't go. SMC was pretty darn awesome today. And now I'll pretend to be a little nancy so @VCU Heel and @VioletRam can virtually beat me up.

You are getting Fermin confused with your boy Qudus W. That comment about 235-240 blah, blah, blah is exactly what you said about Q playing at Georgetown. Fermin is probably 215. BTW - Q is not going to be on the VCU team next year.
