RE: Why do we hate richmond?
I don't hate Richmond. In the 90's, Richmond agreed with JMU and ODU not to all jump the CAA for the A10 (I cannot verify this but I've heard enough times I believe it) then Richmond did so solo incognito, they looked out for their own best interest. Can't fault that reasoning and I'd say it has worked out well for Richmond.
JMU would kill to have Richmond's MBA program (let's hope JMU holds the new dean accountable, pun, to build on the undergrad programs we've got, accounting, which is a good start). UR's MBA students manage a portion of UR's large endowment, great experience.

Because it's a satellite NJ college. That, and I hate Range Rovers.

RE: Why do we hate richmond?
I've always hated Richmond for a lot of reasons already mentioned. But I will never, EVER, forgive them for allowing their students (all 10 of them) to throw red and blue streamers during games. I had murder in my eyes that day, and luckily I was unarmed.

Stephon Robertson interview on ESPN950 - calls out Richmond fans for being obnoxious and minces no words... says he HATES Richmond.
Love him.
Oh, and looks like Richmond's players are already aware of this interview and should make for a hate-filled game on Saturday...
@Scooba_Steve29 (Stephen Barnette): Hahaha Stephon Robertson is wack!!!! I can't wait to talk some (S) Saturday!!!"

RE: Why do we hate richmond?
Spider fans love this thread....it inflates their egos! JMU has more students and bigger football stadium. Spiders have more money (endowment) and a superior basketball arena. And finally the hate is because Spiders lead the football series 17 wins to 13....and 5 wins to 3 since JMU's 2004 NC. Oh and Richmond also has a NC. Frankly it is the most fun game of the year. This year looks like a toss-up. Enjoy!

RE: Why do we hate richmond?
My older daughter was an MRD and was at the game where they threw water bottles at the band and then turned out the lights during the post game show. Real classy.
I am reminded of a slight modification to some of the greatest lines from Conan the Barbarian.
Master: Conan, what is best in life?
Conan: To crush the Ticks
To see them driven before you.
To hear the lamentations of the women.
Somehow it just seems appropriate here. That and as a previous poster mentioned, they kicked it to Scotty!!

and you hated the fact that you never had a home game against us so you used that endowment to built you a nice little web closer to home.

RE: Why do we hate richmond?
I have no qualms with the Spiders personally but the 06 band fiasco and Monarch saying that players spit on his girlfriend leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Pretty classless for a school who likes to pretend they are an elite private in my opinion.
