To let the kids get home for Christmas?

3 hrs is going to make the difference there? It will certainly make a huge dent in our attendance numbers. But I doubt it would impact travel plans to return home for Christmas, considering this game is 4 days prior. If it's that much of an issue for holiday travel, why even schedule it that close to the 25th?

Oh well...hope the admin enjoys the empty stadium.

You have to think that Mason might want to go home for Christmas too.

I get it, but again, is 3 hrs going to be the difference when Christmas is 4 days out? It is what it is, I just don't like it. Couldn't we have made the 4pm Wednesday game UMES or something that no one wants to see?

In the newest episode of the podcast, we ask JJ why this game is set for 4pm and he comes through with a pretty reasonable answer.

Ahh you got me. Guess I'll have to give a listen today at work. I hope you led with "disgruntled message board fans want to know...."

I listened, and I enjoyed it. You should too. As for the reason...I don't like it - but not because it's something we did.

So, I listened....

Hey, ugh, could you not share the reason on here? Was hoping folks would have another reason to listen and turn into regular listeners.

Sorry bud. Will remove. You may want to edit my response out of your post

I took care of that edit.

Thanks buddy.

And they get into our schedule.

We had a lot of fans write off the team and refuse to attend games because of our "crappy schedule" and it has ended up being a really solid non conference schedule (57 on Warren Nolan, for example). This is despite us losing VCU, Richmond, and Maryland.

Maybe VCU/Richmond were a blessing in disguise :)

The other interesting thing were Jones comments on Charleston.

Hey, I'm not going to be responsible for bad juju around here. Bad attitude, maybe. But not bad luck.

Thanks again for being a good team player. The streak moves on!!

I really hope folks on the board are listening. But if they aren’t, I hope they check out this episode. We discuss a heckuva lot that gets bandied about on the board because we see what y’all want to know about so we put it into the show. Where else can you get that type of response when it comes to one of the coaches of our favorite teams?

Indeed. Love the efforts. And enjoyed the program today. JJ is very likeable on the radio. Always has been.

Also....would have loved to see the best home game of the season so far in person. So curses to Mason screwing us up and curses to them for chickening out of the series. I hope they reap what they sow just like vcu.

Mason and the A10 must be destroyed, good one

I went the A10 board a ****** with Mason, you are welcome

Good win and overall the type of team we need to beat. Love the fact that we have scorers on this team. You can never just tell where the scoring will come from. CJ is a tough guard off the dribble. He changes speed and directions very well. He also can shoot it an all three level. Same with TSG.

What a sad board that is. It's like 5 guys talking to each other. They'd be better off starting a group chat.
