Interesting game. Villanova still has some fight in them and Rocco's teams have been known to fall apart in November.....

But only one playoff appearance. His teams don't always handle pressure well going back to Liberty. Last year the Spiders went 1-2 in November but snuck in...

Really, Rocco is 9-3 in November at Richmond, including yesterdays loss. When he came here we were in shambles. Most UR fans are happy with Rocco. Time will tell if he can complete the job and take us back to the promised land.

Rocco has his teams ready to go. In Richmond he is known as Mr November.

Rocco has done a good job at UR. Nova has always played us tough. This is an important game for both teams. I hope we can pull it out. There were some issues we need to address after yesterday. I believe Coach R will have the team reedy for the challenge.

Hope Spiders use good judgment and get in early on Friday vs the mess when they got in at midnight at UNH. I would like to see Spiders win so our game against them is guaranteed to be for the Champs IF we beat Towson.

On the negative side, if both Spiders and Tribe got upset this Saturday then we have a 5 way tie for first at 5-2 assuming JMU wins .....The final week Towson plays RI, JMU plays 'Nova and Tribe plays Spiders. This could lead to a 3 way tie at 6-2. Hope Tribe knocks Towson out of this and puts us in the driver seat of a big "KAMAS" Truck (our running game)!

I don't have a dog in this fight. My team needs to finish strong and that's all that matters to me.

This may be the preppiest CAA game of the year.

That has probably better than 50-50 chance of becoming a seven plus hour bus ride with the hideous traffic on I-95 and the "Blue Route". It was a one hour plus flight on a charter to Pease last week. How did that get so screwed up for a Midnight arrival? (Honest question -- mechanical problems???) Or did they start flying commercially?

Well, Rocco has done something that Mike London couldn't do...beat Villanova!

I also believe he is undefeated vs. W&M while at Richmond.

UR had 2 turnovers in red zone by our sophomore QB-pick at 5 and fumble at 9.Fourteen(14) points evaporated.UR return guy fumbled catch on VU 14.Led to VU seven(7)points.Missed first PAT kick this year.Add it up and it's a 22 points swing.Spiders dominated stats but-not scoreboard.Self inflicted turnovers did Spiders in.We handed Nova the game.They were lucky.So silly.
