Rams Win CAA Tournament
VCU beats GMU 71-50. Let’s go dancin’!
Richmond Magazine mentiones a new quesadilla joint at 916 W. Broad Street. Bo Dillaz not only offers a liberal serving of “z” where there should be “s” but, well, quesadillas and other stuff. I wish it luck. Not only is it right across the street from a Qdoba but a Chipotle is about to open [...]
Interesting videos of the VCU area from around 1977 as shot by late art professor Glenn Hamm

In an attempt to halt drunk driving between the 900 and 1000 blocks of Main Street, VCU Police will be establishing a sobriety checkpoint from 11 p.m. Friday to 3 a.m. Saturday morning.

He had previously planned to step down in 2010, but will now leave the post July 1, 2009, and become a professor at the university.

VCU is going to have its monthly siren test today. Not sure if the media turnout will be similar to the last few times, but there’s currently a helicopter circling the campus. Though that might be more tied to the excitement at University of Richmond yesterday than anything else.
VCU and basketball coach Anthony Grant have agreed to a contract extension that would keep Grant at VCU through 2014. Good for VCU and hopefully really good for Grant
Jon Baliles says Ukrops is going to be shutting down it’s store at Harrison and Grace. Man, there goes the closest salad bar.

The Russians aren’t coming! From VCU:
This is a reminder that at noon tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 6, VCU will conduct a test of emergency sirens on its Monroe Park and MCV Campuses. Ten sirens will wail for two minutes, pause for about a minute, and then sound a one-minute “all-clear” even tone to end the test.
The [...]
VCU uses this clunky, not always working system called Banner to allow students to view their status, register for classes, get a copy of their transcripts, and all sorts of other things. They moved to this system a while back and keep adding features that don’t exactly work right. Now they’ve added a [...]
The air raid sirens atop VCU’s James Branch Cabell Library have gone off twice today. Earlier today VCU claimed that last night’s false alarm was because of someone working on something or another on the roof setting it off. No word on what today’s alerts were caused by.
The lack of response by students out on [...]
It’s halftime in the game between the Rams and Hurricanes in Puerto Rico and it’s not pretty.
Miami is up over VCU 36-21.
VCU has 11 fouls to Miami’s 8 and no one on the Rams squad has more than 6 points. VCU was more of a second half team last season, if that holds true here [...]
