ODU Tired of Larry Sanders Hype

[JacksonWard31]

I meant D1 (BCS),

I know nascar is great for the area, and draws 120,000 actually. I just don't like the (Jimmy Buffet-parking lot-red neck-Red Man-chewing-proud parent of a G.E.D recipient, type folks up there at RIR). Indy Racing is cool though. I wanna go to next year's race.
(I did see a picture of a nascar fan one with block lettering, the word RICHMOND tattooed across his back. That was awesome!)

Richmond will never build another coliseum, football stadium, or baseball stadium (maybe they get that done)
But more and more it appears that the region will see new athletic facilities only in the counties. Hockey will come back, but it will be in arresterfield.

UR and VCU are in charge of their own stadiums. This is a good thing, they do it right. JPJ is so amazing, but its only because universities do it right. ODU has nice facilities.


RVA is actually a great sports town, unlike that recent poll suggests. It is just more into college sports, nascar, and DC teams. Our location is great for many things, but for sports its a weird location. Minor leagues are not a big interest in Central Va. Just inevitable . Probably never will be again. Church and PBR i'd say are the biggest draws round here. Just kidding. Anyway VCU, UVA, TECH and UR are our pro teams. I'm cool with that.

But thank God, theres another exciting 10K coming up....

Lol Pavarotti I am going to have to steel this one....Genius....

What it really boils down to is ODU and every other CAA team benefits from the success that VCU is having and will continue to have. It is a blessing for ODU recruiter to point at a Eric Maynor or Larry Saunders and say "you can be drafted 1st round too" when they recruit. So ODU fans should just STFU, and get ready for another beatdown this year. My prediction ODU finishes no better than 5th behind US, JMU, GMU, and NE.

 

[Rambunctious]

Dude, I am all for wearing the black and gold glasses, but be for real...ODU is not going to finish 5th. They will be in the top 3 and will most likely finish 1st or 2nd in the reg season. Anything can happen in the tournament, but if I was a betting man I wouldn't bet on us winning our 4th straight regular season title after losing Maynor and Grant and having such a question mark at PG. I think we will be good, but I think it might be Feb/Mar before it all comes together perfectly. I see us most likely splitting with the top teams, finishing 2nd or 3rd in the regular season, then perhaps having a shot at the CAA tournament. We need to be realistic to some degree.

 

[VRam]

I wouldn't bet against us. How many CAA teams have an NBA lottery pick?

 

[RustyShackleford]

ODU totally choked in the CAA tourney last year when they played us. It was a pathetic performance honestly. Lee has been the only player that even kept them from getting run out of games. Not being unrealistic but, JMU and GMU have the most young underclass upside in our league. I think we have a strong young group as well.

Umm, none -- including us, unless you possess the ability to see into the future. Why don't we all just chill for a bit and let Larry prove it on the court in actual games before referring to him as an NBA lottery pick. There's still a lot of basketball to be played between now and the 2010 draft, and nothing in life is guaranteed.

That said, it is the offseason and it's clearly driving the ODU idiots batty, so let's take this thread to 70 pages. Who's with me?

Sorry. If you don't like it, too bad.

 

[AG_fan]

If you don't like it, too bad? Seriously? What, are you in kindergarten?

Somebody better call VRam's mommy and let her know he's surfing the Net without permission again.

 

[VCU Finance 2008]

Not trying to start a big thing here, but I feel like Larry has already proved himself in actual games. No doubt we will be looking for more out of him next season, but he has shown quite a bit so far.

AG_FAN.....ahhh man... you haven't been around long enough to pick this fight. Just back away from the keyboard

 

[AG_fan]

VRam, you need to learn to play nice with other boys and girls. The Mr. Internet Tough Guy persona is obviously a front for a very insecure, lonely VCU fan. It's in this sense of compassion and understanding that I'll extend an olive branch without, you know, telling you to go GFY with it or something like that.

 

[vcu_dan]

you know I'm just going to say it...I'm a vcu fan but I'm tired of the Larry hype too. With all this hype he is gonna leave lol. We want publicity this time next year not right now.
