A year ago, the odds were against the University of Richmond field hockey team. Challenges were evident for the 2011 season, including a pre-season practice schedule drastically altered because of renovations at the Spiders' Crenshaw field and a schedule with six former NCAA tournament teams.

"What's up dudes!" Pat clamors in the door, with a Yankees cap and McNabb jersey on. My godfather has always had that New York Sinatra-esque moxy, to come in a room and light up the mood. "Scott!" I hear from behind him. I know that cheery voice is my godmother Beth's. She's one of the most caring people I know. The only time I've seen her mad is when I used to call her "Mrs. Ginefra." Ironic since I now see her as my second mom. It's the first time my brother and I have seen them since the early fall, and we all embrace. Behind their parents, Marco and Jesse sift through the mix, smiling ear to ear. We smile right back. It's been so long since we've seen our family. My two god-brothers are sporting midnight green and look ready. "Let's go, Eagles," we all say.

It's getting harder and harder to watch SportsCenter these days. Watching them develop new ways to poke fun at my Philadelphia Eagles with cute headers like "Dream team becomes a nightmare" is bad enough. But then I've got to listen to reasons A, B, C and D for why there won't be an NBA season next year. One of my teams falling apart, I can deal with(and have...for a while), but an entire league?

I cannot tell you how many times a day people come barging into my apartment. Whether it be lunch time, or 11 at night, I usually know what the reason is. "Let's play FIFA!" I'll hear someone scream from downstairs. The urgency of the call to simply play a video game is almost unavoidable.

Everyone knew that one kid when they were little. Lets call him...Charles. He was the kid who told you Santa Claus wasn't real a little too early. You wanted to be Superman when you grew up, and Charles wanted to be an accountant. Your mind was filled with lollipops and rainbows, and Charles's was filled with SAT scores and college apps. You had imagination. Charles was a realist. As much as we hated Charles, and proclaimed him as the Debby Downer, we knew in the back of our heads that he was right, he was always right.

College athletes deserve to be paid for what they do. Sorry, I should be clear. When I say college athletes should be paid, I mean the money-generating big-men on campus also known as the basketball and football players.

Latrell Scott was born on July 15, 1975, in Richmond, Va. He was only 14 when the likes of his future players Tre Gray and Aaron Corp were born. He graduated from Hampton University in 1999 and entered coaching at the age of 24. When he accepted the University of Richmond head coaching job, he was 34, and became the youngest Division 1 head football coach in the country at the time.

Welcome Spider fans. Welcome to another year of Richmond sports. Welcome to the realm of A-10 titles and Sweet 16s, with some pretty great players on some damn great teams. It's where the legends are made and where all the players get paid. (Nah, just kidding).

For my last column this year, I felt it would be best to reflect on 2010-11 University of Richmond sports in its entirety. The problem with that idea is that I'm not the right guy to tell you. I can't tell you how amazing it was to see women's tennis win an Atlantic 10 championship or even football win its first game back on campus, because I wasn't there to see it (wondering how I got this job?). So instead of me trying to bullshit about things I don't know, I did the next best thing. I talked to the head honcho of UR sports: Athletic Director Jim Miller.

We all probably know of Dennis Rodman for different reasons. Some know him for being that other guy on the '90s Chicago Bulls team alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Others may know him for his off the court antics, which included part-time professional wrestling, wearing a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, having relationships with Madonna and Carmen Electra and recently being on the show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."

Live life with no regrets. It's a saying I try to live by, even though I've never fully understood it. I can't comprehend how it is possible to live life without regret. How can someone not want to take back a single thing throughout the course of an entire life? Hell, I can recall six different things I regret doing just this past weekend. Maybe you don't call it regret, but the reflective thought "What if I had done this?" has most likely crept into your mind at some point in your life.

The University of Richmond women's lacrosse team defeated Duquesne University 10-9 on Friday night at Robins Stadium. It was the first Atlantic 10 Conference game for the Spiders.

As college basketball fans around the nation watched the 11 seed VCU Rams knock off Kansas in the Elite Eight last Sunday, I can only assume there was a mixed bag of emotions. For those whose brackets had gone down with the likes of Pittsburgh or Duke, I bet it was great fun to watch David take down Goliath. For others, like me, the bracket officially flat-lined with Jamie Skeen's triumphant ball heave into the crowd of black and yellow as the clock hit zero. As for those VCU fans ... well, Sunday night probably got reckless.
