If your ex leaves you for a dude who ends up going to jail, not unusual to bring it up a time or two.

For me, this is like my ex moved on and I'm still banging her but not having to pay alimony and still get to keep my new girl. Bring it up all you like...

So this is what that whole merkin' nancies thing is all about.

Not a fan of Jimmy being our associate HC. Was hoping for a more veteran presence. He’s been under Mike Rhodes a while and not sure how much that experience helps us much at all.

Nepotism is alive and well.

I am not a big fan of nepotism either, but I don't think that lack of experience is a legit criticism. Dude's been in the game for almost 20 years.

I am more interested in what the new staff is doing in assembling a roster. While others schools are getting commits from the transfer pool, we have one announced commit - Evan’s- and another rumored commit - I have seen no official announcement on the big guy from Bryant. Seriously hoping for good news very soon.

Gonna miss Ahmad (if he's gone), just wanna put that out there to thank him for for his work, I know was very involved and active while he's been here. Thanks for your service, Ahmad.

Here's something for the offseason..
At The Flood Zone I saw a lead singer stage dive into a crowd of about 12 people, all in front of the stage quickly stepped back while he was in midair, dude fell on the back of his neck from what had to have been a height of 12 or so feet. Knocked him out. I ~think~ the band's name was Frog legs. I thought he was dead. Eric Stanley came out and screamed at people to get back and he was taken away via ambulance. The show went on with the next act.. who did NOT stage dive.

REALLY great band, singer was like a hyperactive Elvis or something:

Hello yeah...Buzz Fest '97. I was there!

"104.7, the Buzz...Richmond's New Rock Alternative"

I think being brothers for their entire lives, they know how they would work well or not well together…

Do you have a brother? Not saying you are wrong, but…

PLEASE go to his Instagram page and welcome him back, give him the praise he deserves, Ramnation!

 

[WillWeaverRVA]

He's still the Mayor to me. Mayors outrank coaches.

To all Ramnation, if THIS isn't capable of feeding you some delicious offeason eats and psych you up, I don't know what the heck is!

I think he's just the father of the HC and Associate HC. So, unofficial advisor I would guess until we hear something different.

Hopefully a Power 5 school scheduling wizard !!

barely nepo imo. jimmy has a lot of experience and is nearly guaranteed to be on the same page as phil.

Not all older brothers are quick to take their younger brother’s side. If it were my family, my older brother would have no problem settling conflicts and would be harder on me than the rest of the staff; he’d probably take their side more often than not.

I don’t see this being an issue at all. The Martelli’s definitely don’t seem to be the type of family to give handouts or special treatment to each other.

This! I am more concerned that he might over compensate to make sure he's being fair and slight his brother a bit. I'm not really concerned about that either. I think PMJ will make the decision that helps the team win.
