"Be a green Spider, save electricity, save the Earth." These stickers around campus seem to apply to everywhere on campus but the dorms, where lights stay on 24 hours a day and cannot be turned off.
For my last column this year, I felt it would be best to reflect on 2010-11 University of Richmond sports in its entirety. The problem with that idea is that I'm not the right guy to tell you. I can't tell you how amazing it was to see women's tennis win an Atlantic 10 championship or even football win its first game back on campus, because I wasn't there to see it (wondering how I got this job?). So instead of me trying to bullshit about things I don't know, I did the next best thing. I talked to the head honcho of UR sports: Athletic Director Jim Miller.
It's hard to believe that it has been almost four years since we first gathered in the Robins Center as the class of 2011. We arrived from different states and countries, bringing a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds to this campus.
We all probably know of Dennis Rodman for different reasons. Some know him for being that other guy on the '90s Chicago Bulls team alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Others may know him for his off the court antics, which included part-time professional wrestling, wearing a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, having relationships with Madonna and Carmen Electra and recently being on the show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."
Charl Schwartzel looked pretty fashionable at the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday when he wore a bright green blazer.
University of Richmond graduates and former football players Justin Rogers and Martin Parker, have been preparing for the NFL draft, which will take place April 28 to April 30 in New York City.
Last week, university community members cheered for the Spider basketball players and wished them luck as they loaded the bus and headed to the airport for Texas. The players put on their headphones, boarded their flight and were off to face Kansas the next night, leaving the Robins Center in their rear view. A select few Spider fans left their classes and University Forest Apartments behind and followed the team all the way to San Antonio.
The University of Richmond's football team is rebounding from a season that ended earlier than the team planned.
It's the fourth quarter for my fellow Collegian seniors and me. I'm sure Papa Spear and the rest of the journalism department had a collective cringe with my lede, which began with probably the most cliche saying in sports, but it's true. This is our last issue together, and seniors throughout the campus are wrapping up their theses, projects and more as we prepare for what lies ahead.
On Tuesday night, University of Richmond football player Donte Boston and former teammate Kevin Grayson, RC '10, spoke to 22 players and the coaching staff from the George Wythe High School basketball program at a team dinner about the importance of academics.
University of Richmond senior Kevin Anderson said he felt the game slipping away when Saint Bonaventure University had cut an 11-point Richmond lead to seven in less than a minute. So Anderson, like he has done countless times in his career, decided to take the game over.
The following 17 men are the newest members of the University of Richmond football team. Each quote is from head coach Latrell Scott.
Once as much a part of Richmond Spider football Saturday afternoons as any player, one of the most avid supporters of the football team is ready to exchange his megaphone and Spiderman shirt for a notebook and computer.

For head football coach Latrell Scott, this year's 17-member recruiting class was all about filling needs, he said.
Two years ago, the University of Richmond women's basketball team was 15 minutes away from winning the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament and winning the automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. Instead, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte rallied from an eight-point deficit to win that game and send the Spiders to the National Invitational Tournament.
Former University of Richmond football players Martin Parker and Justin Rogers will head to the NFL Scouting Combine next month after their appearance in the East vs. West Shrine game in Orlando on Jan. 22.
As a native Richmonder, I have grown up knowing the Richmond vs. VCU basketball rivalry. Though it may not be as nationally well-known as, say, the Tobacco Road rivalry of Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill, this little East vs. West Cary Street throw down is always a crowd-pleaser. The Spiders' Saturday night romp was no exception.
Needing a win against the College of William & Mary to keep its playoff chances alive, the University of Richmond instead lost, 41-3, Saturday evening in Williamsburg, Va. William & Mary's strong defense held the Spiders to 263 total yards (87 of which came in the fourth when both sides used substitutes), well below the 278 yards Richmond averaged heading into the game.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — For the first time since 2006, there won't be any playoff football in Richmond this year.
