They had an outstanding program that was competitive year in and year out and could make noise in March that they threw away so their football program could go play random opponents no one cares about far away from campus and make a pre-Christmas bowl game in their best case scenario season (but they get to say they are FBS!). Never made any sense to me - doom both sports to irrelevancy.

I give them props for their willingness to actually play us home and home unlike VCU or UR.

Yeah I always hated ODU but I loved their style of play under Blaine. The ODU-VCU rivalry was one of the absolute best in country with the talent, passion of the fanbases, and difference in playing styles. Part of me hopes they find their way back.
