    RIP Bill Jones

    This is very sad news. Bill was a truly great man and he loved VCU basketball. Not a kinder soul could be found and his loss will be felt especially by us "old timers". He went to so many games, home and away and was a great donor. I will miss him very much but glad that his illness is no...

    I've been told that when we win at Utah, our band can go to the semifinals and Championship. Hope this is true. Fingers crossed.

    RIP Debbie Owens

    Debbie and I were extremely close friends. We met at VCU in the early 80's and she and I were pretty much always together at games from there on out. She and Steve became such close friends with FMRick and I. Her celebration of life yesterday was wonderful. Her mother had requested that...

    Coach Ryan Odom Show, Media Minutes & Pressers

    Odom and his wife are going to fly to the F4 to see his son be given his award and then flying right back. The man is going on no sleep I'm sure, but he seems to really, really want to get to work immediately on the team, VCU, etc. His son is being presented with an Advocacy Award. Pretty big...

    Welcome to VCU Coach Odom!

    Not doing Saturday because coaches and ADs will more than likely be at the Final Four.

    VCU @ GW Pre-game deets

    FmRick and I plus 2 others will be there around 2-2:30 as well. I did not get this email or notice about the pregame. Can you check for us as well about paying when we get there? We usually always attend this, but like I said neither Rick nor I received or saw the notice. Thanks

    Chris Mooney is stepping away from Richmond basketball team to deal with heart issue

    FmRick has been getting them every 3 years since he was in his early forties (I managed the heart CT dept. at VCS then) and it does save lives. It is an easy scan and inexpensive. Please everyone go ahead and schedule yours ASAP. It is the one test you want to score a ZERO on. Mine has...

    Attendance. What can be done in near term?

    Their arena is nice and cozy. The fans we talked with said they were really missing the students and that would have helped with the atmosphere. I am not so sure. I assume their band, cheerleaders and dance squad will stand in awe of ours in Brooklyn. And Lord help if any of them choose to...

    The Official Beat the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem in the NIT Thread

    We can win this game if we play our defense. Wake did not like being pressed one bit and the announcers last night kept commenting in the second half that if Wake wins, VCU was going to be a struggle for them because of our speed and defense. Monsanto shot the lights out but got great shots...
