Re: URI Rhode to Excellence Poll
I actually think it should be the other way around. If (insert big URI booster) donated $10M over the next five years to URI Basketball today that would fire up peasants like myself to donate to the collective. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that these big boosters need to see us peas...

Re: URI Rhode to Excellence Poll
FedEx pledges $25M to Memphis Athletics over the next 5 years ($5M per year). This is exactly what I’m talking about when I say we will be as good and as relevant as our big boosters want us to be. No bake sale is going to save us.

My guess is he goes to a power conference, rots away on the bench for 1-2 years and then transfers down to mid major conference. A tale as old as time.

Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel
I know Pepperdine is a dead end job but this is the best they could do? A re-tread who hasn't been a head coach in 20 years and was below .500 at Wright State between 1997-2003. There had to be some young plucky assistant coach eager to climb the ranks as opposed to a 58-year old re-tread.
