I'm probably the "most negative person" you've never met, at least in this regard: Rather than pledge to the "Kappa Sigma Yes Man" frat, I try and see things more down the middle of the court. As for predictions, I'm likely on the high end of positive. My crystal ball says Rams will go 25-6 regular season. Should the black 'n' gold somehow declaw the Wolverines, a meteoric rise in Top 25 will follow.

It’s an effing message board. WTF do you expect? What I said is backed up by the last 10 years of the A10’s results.
And I’m pretty sure that not “every single one” of my responses to others isn’t to say that they’re wrong. Hyperbole much?

I enjoy Heel's posts. He is a pragmatist.

I might be a little on the pessimistic side of pragmatism, but I try my best to be realistic about expectations. Even with the predictions about UNC being preseason #1 and national champion favorites, I’m very cautious about the season and making bold predictions for them.
Very little sunshine, mostly cloudy. That is ok.

the magic 8 ball is telling me the following WILL occur
MR sprains his ankle in the early season and will miss a few weeks of action
Ace Baldwin will join the Baltimore Ravens at CB during their Super Bowl run
VCU BOV will approve maize and blue as our new color scheme
Bones will have his first NBA 30 point game
one of the retired jerseys in the rafters will be removed because of a scandal
My doctor will not authorize the refill of my psychotic meds
go rams
(we will finish OOC with 2 or less losses)

3 teams made the NCAA Tournament in 2018.
Are they “psychotic “ drugs or “anti-psychotic“. There is a difference you know. Me, I prefer the psychotic type. A little more freeing.
OOC 2 loses.
top 3 at end of season with a A10 tournament. Can’t quite see who wins. Need more mushroom.
win at least 1 big dance game.
go Rams.

I don't know how bold this really is, but I think Jamir Watkins will be solid in the OOC while coming back from injury, but will absolutely blow up in A10 play and will compete for First Team All-A10.
I once said something like this (only harsher) to a poster that critiqued me a few times. I regretted that post I made to him and wish i could take it back bc the poster is a pretty cool dude from what I know. I think anything goes on a message board as long as nothing is a personal attack.

Bold Predictions hmm....
Lets see.... In No Particular order of how of bold I think these predictions are
1. VCU Will win the A10 Tournament
2. VCU will Make the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tourney
3. VCU Will have 2 players on First team All A-10
4. VCU will have the A-10 Player of the year
I'd say the first 2 are bold literally because each scenario has only happened once

You’re correct. I was looking at the first number instead of the second.

3 is still pretty much our max when things fall the right way. 4 would be extraordinary and 5 just is never likely to happen again.
As long as that means cool and breezy here at in the last dog days of August, I'm fine with it.
Seriously, I sometimes disagree with Heel, but he's always well informed and I know if I get in an argument with him I better be prepared on my end. I admit I've grown into pushing sunshine, I'm just happier that way! It hasn't come easy to either. I also think positive energy is contagious. So, I will try to spread it.
Love your stuff Heel, even if it comes with a little negativity.

But yeah, on average the A10 tends to be a 3-bid league, but it's slumped during the past few years.

Over the last 7 NCAA Tournaments, the conference has averaged 2.57 teams per tournament. We’re right on that 2-3 line. But that’s inflated a bit by the first 4 of those 7 seasons. The last three tournaments have all been 2 teams a season. And last year could have been 1 team if Davidson beat Richmond in the A10 championship game.
