Almost didn’t go figuring we would get killed. 3. Valpo took some of our Cinderella away 4. When the Stanf...

Both of them had inconsistent careers whether turning the ball over or missing shots. Regardless they. Are still students athle...

My dad was at URI in the early 40’s. He peeled potatoes in the morning to get a ticket for a Saturday game at Rodman. He would sit in the balcony with his feet hanging over. He was also at the garden for Ernie’s shot- and you wonder where my insanity came from.
