Richmond football brings in 17 players for the 2011 season

By Andrew Prezioso | February 3, 2011

For head football coach Latrell Scott, this year's 17-member recruiting class was all about filling needs, he said. After last year's season was plagued with injuries, Scott set out to find versatile athletes that were playing more than one position for their high school team, he said. One of the biggest needs that Scott wanted to fill was the offensive and defensive line, he said.

By Andrew Prezioso | November 20, 2010

Prince William isn't the only person talking about marriage

By Gyra Chan | November 18, 2010

It might be because I've been listening to Taylor Swift's new album on repeat since it came out, or perhaps it's the fact that I shopped online for wedding dresses yesterday during chapter with my roommate, or maybe it's because the last thing my apartmentmate and I did before bed last night was snuggle into the covers with my laptop on the hunt for the perfect engagement ring, but marriage is definitely in the air this week (and by week I mean the last three years of my life). Don't get me wrong, I am thoroughly enjoying college, and I have every intention of graduating, going to grad school and working at least two terribly depressing jobs before I finally settle down, but there is definitely something about the notion of having an impeccably clean household with two kiddies running around (Garrett and Leslie, ages 8 and 5 respectively), preparing dinner at 6 p.m.

Are all 60 minutes still relevant in football?

By David Weissman | November 18, 2010

We've all heard the football coaches say it. In the movies, in the interviews, in the pep talks, "You've got to play hard for 60 minutes." Aside from the obvious mathematical problems the possibility of overtime can present, recent results in some big-time football games seem to suggest this is just typical coachspeak. In many games, one team jumps to a big lead early on and then just coasts through the rest of the game (see last Sunday's Broncos-Chiefs game where the Broncos went up 35-0 midway through the second quarter). Even more prevalent are the games that are pretty close (often ugly games where neither team is playing particularly well) until one team makes a big play late to decide the outcome. With six wins and four losses this season, the University of Richmond's football team is looking to secure a playoff spot this Saturday at the College of William & Mary.

Laub, Boston are back at the right time for the Spiders

By Andrew Prezioso | November 8, 2010

Don't look now, but the recent national champions are poised for a playoff run. It wasn't just because the University of Richmond won a virtual elimination game against James Madison University on Saturday evening, but it was also the way the Spiders played that gives hope that their season will continue in December. The biggest change was at the quarterback position.
