Richmond Hall of Famer Mike Skrocki takes us through the wild second half in Allen Fieldhouse — Gaston Moliva dunking like a senior when he was a freshman, Tony Dobbins hitting the shot of a lifetime, and Wainwright having his very own “Hoosiers” moment when his team told him, “Coach, we’re not running that play.” Plus, the story of how the post-Kansas victory party turned into two days stranded in a Cincinnati hotel with nothing but cards and M&Ms

The Spiders were 8–8 and staring down a brutal midseason road trip in January 2004, capped by a showdown with #12 Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. In this episode, Tom and Porter sit down with a very special guest who takes us inside the locker room, onto the court, and into the chaos of the Phog as Richmond battles through the first half. From tough losses to unexpected motivation, this conversation sets the stage for one of the most unforgettable games in program history.

Tom and Porter rewind to the year 2000 — when Y2K fizzled, Gladiator packed theaters, and Richmond traded the CAA for the Atlantic 10. They relive the climate of college hoops back then, the Virginia Tech vacancy that opened the door, and the CAA’s parting gift: a postseason ban. From Beilein’s 21–6 squad chasing an at-large bid to a statement NIT blowout over West Virginia, they trace how that leap set the stage for more NCAA trips and a new era of Spider basketball.

Tom and Porter go all-in on Richmond’s women’s basketball program after a record-setting season that saw the Spiders capture their first-ever NCAA Tournament win. Following an interview with Associate Head Coach Radice, the guys dig into Maggie Dugan’s WNBA-level potential, Rachel’s pure shooting stroke, and Ally’s rising star power. The “Big Three” headline a squad reloading with talented transfers, promising freshmen, and a coaching staff built to win. Tom and Porter share behind-the-scenes stories, break down roster changes, and preview who might step into the minutes left by departing legends. Plus: why rebounding, chemistry, and fan support could make the difference between another great season and a truly historic one.

In this episode, we cross the border for some Spider history and also debate the best ever Spiders point guard—is it Kevin Anderson, Jacob Gilyard, Greg Beckwith, Ken Atkinson or is a surprise in store?! Plus, Porter survives the forum wars, Tom survives the fallout from the ill-advised Bonus episode, and we both survive each other.

A very special episode of Spiders Sound Off. While Porter’s away, Tom takes the mic solo to share a story from the summer 30 years ago that started it all—the first time he and Porter lived together in Northern Virginia. What began as daily pickup hoops turned into a full-blown mystery inside their house. A smell they couldn’t ignore. And a voicemail prank that changed everything. It’s gross. It’s ridiculous. It’s the origin story you didn’t know you needed. Plus, stick around for a new extended version of our song Spiders Sound Off to close it out.

In this explosively average sequel, Tom and Porter return from practice with reckless confidence and fully baked takes. Rookies are legends, redshirts are unstoppable, and one big man might just save the world — or at least the A-10. It’s Practice Overreaction! Part Deux — louder, funnier, and 27% more irrational than Part One.

We watched practice. We talked to Mooney. We debated Jermaine Bucknor vs. Mike Hodges comps. And we might have cried reading a letter from Pat Summitt. Episode 3 is all about the offseason grind, life lessons from Coach Mooney, and which transfer Spider fans should be most hyped about. Spoiler: it might be the guy from Maine, or Indiana State… or Loyola Marymount… or DePaul. They’re all pretty good.
