I think you are wrong with the highlighted part of the prediction. Hewitt always calls a timeout around the 4:02 mark in the game. So I think he will have one to use at this point, but that could be his last.

In fairness it was at 4:03 last game.

Here's what I vote for tonight. When they sing that annoying "Duh duh duh duh duh, V!..." song, which they will, we should yell "Let's go, GMU!" at the end.

And when they do their "you don't want to go to war, with the Ra-ams..." sing a long, we should counter with "you don't want to go to war, with the Pa-trits..."

Yes, it is copying them, but that's the beauty. It would get under their skin. Cause goodness knows they will try to get under ours.

And yes, I am preparing for the worst.

I just hope our band drowns out any of that silly nonsense.

Hopefully their fans will be scattered and not coordinated enough to do any of those cheers. Plus their band isn't around, so that helps.

Rams fans are just giving the program money. They are welcome.

This is not unlike what Nationals fans went through with Braves and especially Phillies fans for a while.

It will turn. It always does.

Maybe something like this will happen:

Vegasinsider has vcu favored by 10; same as rpiforecast and kenpom. Both of the latter can't factor in the loss of Weber yet.

Maybe vegas figures vcu will rebound from a bad shooting game against Richmond (as good teams tend to) whereas Mason's offensive struggles, which seem rather chronic, will continue.

My mistake---the rpiforecast has us at 11 pt underdogs whereas vegasinsider is currently still at 10 pts. Against the spread from that site, vcu is 4-5 on the road and Mason is 5-4 at home.

mason +10 is the play.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Our five previous games at the Patriot Center against ranked opponents (all losses) have been decided by an average margin of 5.8 points. Last year the margin of defeat was 1.5 points.

136 1/2 is the over/under.

I remember when the trucks used to be a regular appearance at the Patriot Center.

Remember the 2008 "ESPN2 game"? I was in the front row of the Platoon with my green and gold face paint. An absolutely raucous atmosphere...

An absolutely raucous Patriot Center and Will Thomas owning the paint as a man among boys with 21 points.

He made Dickie Vitale's "All Rambo Team" that year...

Hey look at that - vcu had twice the turnovers as Mason. The good ol' days.

 

[MasonFanatic]

I honestly thought we handled the ball well against them last year down in Richmond, but the box score shows 19 turnovers. I shudder to think what the total would have been if we had a "bad" night.

   Alright RamNation, help us out! If going to the Mason game, are you going to:
   Green Turtle (maybe Alumni event?)
   Brion's Grille (super close to patriot center)
   Going to game only

   Trying to find the place with the most Ram fans to congregate with!

   Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night."

Oh my god, they didn't know that the avatar for "Clueless Economist" was Paul Krugman. vcu is a college, right?

As much as Paul Krugman puts himself out there, I wouldn't expect a bunch of graphic designers and music majors to know who he is.

Here's what I think everyone should do.

When any vcu fan opens his gosh darn mouth to sing anything, you take one of their puss poss and throw them down the f**king steps. Or take your feces, put it in a tasty Chic-Fila container, and offer them a shit sandwich.
This is how things used to be, when we sucked or not circa 1992. Do I have to think of everything?

Pregame show says if we control the ball in the first 5 min we have a good shot.
