Dress Up. Dress down. It's football.

By Avery Shackelford | September 8, 2011

Richmond's first home football game of the season is Saturday. What do you plan on wearing? Will you dress up in pearls and a sundress or pinstripe shorts and Ray-bans? Or will you show your school spirit in a red and blue ensemble with a temporary spider tattoo emblazoned on your cheek? If you're like me, and grew up in the South, you'll probably wear something nicer to Saturday's football game than you've worn all school year.

NFL lockout affecting former Spider Justin Rogers

By David Weissman | June 12, 2011

On April 30, 2011, former University of Richmond cornerback Justin Rogers was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. However, on March 11, 2011, the National Football League entered a lockout, disallowing communication between the organizations and the players. While numerous other former Spiders, such as Lawrence Sidbury (2009, 4th round, Falcons) and Tim Hightower (2008, 5th round, Cardinals), have heard their names called on NFL draft day, Rogers's situation is unique. Due to the lockout, Rogers has been forced to delay his transformation from a collegiate to professional player. "I haven't spoke to [the Bills' organization] since the draft cause I can't with the lockout still being on," Rogers said by phone.

The South will rise again

By Amelia Vogler | February 16, 2011
