Unfortunate happenings in the land of Richmond

Good evening.

As a student at Virginia Commonwealth University and a fan of the VCU Basketball team, I would like to take a moment to express my feeling about the current situation that the team is going through. If you haven't heard already, the Ram's coach Anthony Grant has chosen to move on and coach a new team, Alabama. Understandably, he was offered of 2 million dollars to move but I thought that any coach of an already winning team would have a closer relationship with the players that he worked so hard to lead to victory.

One should not dwell on the past however. Looking forward, my hope for the Rams is that assistant coach Tony Pujols will be made head coach. Having 3 years experience with the Rams, and having spoken with him several times, I believe he has what it takes to successfully coach the Rams to a continued victorious career. Even without Maynor leading the team on the court, I still have confidence that VCU will continue their success.

Moving on, The NFL posted their tentative pre-season schedule, and as a devout Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I figured I would let you know what their schedule is.

August 13th 2009: Steelers V.S. Cardinals (This game has already been selected to be on ESPN)
TBA Steelers V.S. Redskins
August 29th 2009: Steelers V.S. Bills
TBA Steelers V.S. Panthers

I am pretty stoked for the upcoming season. After review, much love to the Miami Dolphins, they have an extremely tough schedule this year.

I only have the Red Wings left as a hope for a championship since my basketball and baseball teams suck.

Oh well, All the best
Cheers
