I hate Richmond.
No really, I think we all do. We’ve lost to them four times in a row.
Including two years ago on Homecoming. On Homecoming, against Richmond. We weren’t even terrible that year and we still lost to those damn Spiders!
For me, the hatred really started in early ’06, the Niners first trip to Richmond as an A10 foe. The 49ers were still vying for an at-large and needed to avoid anymore bad losses. Enter Richmond. Those little jerks played slow disciplined basketball and our players couldn’t handle it. Lutz got two technicals, and my friends and I went home dejected. DEJECTED. That’s how Richmond makes me feel.
With that out of the way, the Spiders are probably better this year than they’ve ever been since we joined the A10. Their guards are sick, they play disciplined basketball, and they’re extremely proficient from the 3-pt line. Basically, that is a recipe for 49ersAreGonnaStruggle Casserole. You’ve heard of that dish right? We had some this year against Winthrop and Saint Louis already. Luckily, we won those games. And Saint Louis beat Richmond. So, if you believe in the transitive property of sports, then just add on to Richmond’s loss column now.
Anyway, squash the spiders, I really hope we beat them tonight. The game’s on Channelsurfing.net if you want to watch. Predictions are below, leave yours and we’ll sign you up for our awesome email list with special promo codes to save on exclusive GreenTintedGlasses.net gear. No really, do it.

J Felt – Charlotte 70, Richmond 64. I don’t believe in the words… don’t ever. We win tonight, because miracles do happen and Braswell’s packing some Raid.

HP – The itsy bitsy spider’s web didn’t cover the rim. Niners win an ugly one, 59-54.
D-Fo – Much like St. Louis, this looks to be one that’s gonna really grind down to a crawl. A big game from Braswell coupled with solid contributions from Green and Harris help the Niners squeeze out a 79-73 victory.
NLP – Shamari Spears sends Dan Geriot into the Witness Protection Program as the Niners get the Robins Center monkey off their collective back. Niners 65 – Richmond 61
