It pains me to write this article, but the Rams have earned it. After a few early stumbles out-of-conference, including a silly loss to Appalachian State, VCU head coach Anthony Grant has the ship righted. The Richmond-based team is now 10-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association, including wins over last year’s Final Four darlings George Mason, and my own Old Dominion Monarchs.
The CAA is my pick for the next surprise conference. If they can follow The Valley’s lead and keep the good coaches from jumping ship, and keep making an imprint on the field of 64, they have a chance to raise the profile of the entire league. With representatives in Philly, Boston, and the D.C. area, the economic potential may actually be greater than that of the MVC. And since we’re talking about collegiate amateur athletics, it’s all about the money, dawg.
Anyway, let’s take a look at these black-and-gold clad denizens of the Siegel Center:
- Was hired by VCU President Eugene Trani because he was the only candidate to refrain from giggling and saying “Seriously, your name is Tranny?”
- Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth determined scientifically that Grant is only 22.6% as annoying as previous coach Jeff Capel. Will need to get those numbers up if he wants to keep his job.
- Left Florida after the National Championship season because he was tired of being asked to hold Joakim Noah’s handbag in department stores.
- Wore goggles in his playing days at Dayton so people would think he was Horace Grant’s brother.
- From Cameroon, West Africa, where mid-major basketball players are now the nation’s third largest export after coffee and rubber.
- Like all of those ass-kissy foreign players, is majoring in something applicable (Accounting) and plans to graduate.
- Sat out one year after transferring from Arizona State. Has said the chance to eat at Kuba Kuba every day was the deciding factor in choosing VCU as his destination.
- Favorite Assistant Coach: Tony Pujol.
- Won his High School Science Fair by installing a Flux Capacitor on a moped. Sadly, he was never able to achieve the velocity needed to engage the device.
- He don’t use tissues, or his sleeves, he don’t use napkins… he uses maaaagazines.
- One of the few hyphenated names that is more fun to say than that of New England Patriot’s linebacker Tully Banta-Cain.
- Made a courageous return to basketball after missing an entire season with a life-threatening lawn darts injury.
- Keeps several glasses of water by his bed in case those aliens from Signs ever try to grab him.
- Parents named him after their favorite member of the A-Team: B.A. Barackus. He still refuses to drink milk before a game.
- Hails from the cruelly named municipality of Onancock, VA.
- Has won the team’s Americas Cup Yacht Racing fantasy league three years running.
- Played in the Boo Williams Summer AAU league, which is more than a little bit fun to say.
- Often rocks the Derrick Coleman headband during games.
- Really, really doesn’t miss the Jeff Capel face.
The CAA is an up-and-down conference, where even the best teams can lose a couple on the road. Right now the only realistic road to the Big Dance is to win the conference tourney, but the Rams may be able to make a bid for at-large consideration if they continue to play this well in-conference. Ideally, they would meet up with the Oklahoma Sooners and give their old coach something to cry about (though the simple fact of going to Duke was more than enough for Bobby Hurley, Cherokee Parks, Quin Snyder, and Christian Laettner).
So yeah, I’ll say it. Go Rams! Go CAA!
I kid because I love here at Extrapolater. However, I do have a site dedicated to getting the straight dope about colleges across America, called College Rule Notebook. If you’d like to set me straight, take the quick survey. We’ll dig up links & photos to illustrate your answers.
It’s a shame that even here in Richmond, nobody but maybe a handful of VCU students gives a damn. They’re having a very special season, but hardly anybody cares.
As a matter of fact, enviro-kook artists, Christo & Jeane-Claude, are coming to town tomorrow, and the Siegel Center will be packed, standing room only, with lefty VCU students. The tickets for that event were gone within a few days of the announcement, and I’m sure there will be a line of people clamoring to get in.
It’s sort of the opposite down at Virginia Tech. That’s hardly a basketball school, and I’ve heard Seth Greenberg on the radio pleading with students and fans to fill up the Castle for their upcoming game against NC State. Tech is one of the top teams in the ACC this year, and you have to beg people to show up for a conference game? That’s sad.
Bring Dale Junior or some other NASCAR driver into Blacksburg for a night, and those students would be killing each other to get in.
[…] Winthrop Eagles, The Wright State Raiders, The VCU Rams, The New Mexico State Aggies, The Nevada Wolfpack, The Virginia Tech Hokies, The UNLV Runnin’ […]
For what it’s worth, Ludacris sold out the Siegel Center as well, so that’s a vote for sanity.
I guess.
Who the hell is VCU…………………that would be the team that just knocked Duke out of the NCAA’s in the first round for the first time sinc 1996.
And for that, we ALL LOVE THEM!!!
Yeah!
