As some have already mentioned on here, yes Bob Richey will indeed be seeking win #100 for his head coaching career at Furman this Saturday.
Wikipedia has not added the past two games yet but his record overall is 99-41

Does the VMI loss count against him or Growe?

Did not think of that but that is a great question

My guess is at VMI loss this year will go against Richey as he was still head coach, when he got the loss vs. St. Peters in CIT semifinals to start his career Niko Medved had already left the team and Richey was named interim head coach, but I honestly don't know for sure

My guess is against Richey.

I'm not sure what the weather will be like on Saturday, but if anyone is looking for a parking lot at The Well that allows and encourages tailgating, you can go to my friend's lot at 408 North Church Street. It's located between the parking garage and the back entrance of the arena. I think the parking garage charges $10 and his lot will be charging $8.

On a relevant side note, I hope that we have a great crowd on Saturday to cheer the guys on to a big win! Mercer only lost by 3 in OT to Winthrop earlier this season, so like pretty much all of our SoCon opponents this year, we should expect a very competitive game. I'm hoping that Garrison is back by Saturday, as I missed seeing his energy out there last night.

It'll be interesting to see which of our young guys takes on the challenge of the big stage this weekend to elevate their game, like we saw from a young Mike Bothwell at the Well against Wofford a couple of years ago.

True, but it is correct on Bob Richey
You can check with ESPN past schedules if you are interested:

Key SoCon game, as they all are
What type of crowd can we expect downtown this Saturday?
Don’t know if you can go by what is showing on the ticketmaster site as to what is available. If it is accurate there would be a very good crowd. Another issue is students. Campus housing, food etc opens Saturday and classes start Monday. The pep band and some students would make a huge difference as far as atmosphere goes.

Exactly
I hope there is a plan in place to bus the band and some students over to put them on the courtside endzone seats
