Gone too soon at age 60 in Pompano Beach, Fla.

Brad was a key player on those great Tom Ehrhardt teams, a good guy and a devoted Rhody Ram.

Dropping this here for lack of a better place. Not a URI former, and maybe not even know to many of you, but you can bet Larry Ketvirtis remembers him.... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/marvin-barnes-antics-with-the-spirits-of-st-louis-nearly-got-him-traded-he-s-really-something-else/ar-BB1lz...

Who makes the decisions on amount each player gets? Couldn't Rhody15 answer this? He states that the school can not be a part of NIL. So I would think no University employee can control where the money goes. Sounds like one of those "independent-expenditure" Super PACs which aren't suppos...

Tom didnt really like recruiting that much preferred the beach lol Remember he won with Malone's players, changed from a half court offense to up tempo, and the rest is history. Made 50k a year here and left when Texas came calling with 500k a year. Penders recruited Kenny Green and Jeff Kent, our ...

Excellent payday for Byington, most likely, but not a great job historically. I will be interested in following his progress there. Coaches have humongous egos. They all believe they'll succeed where everyone else has failed. Some just need more money than others to take those jobs. Undead Little R...

Was Bozeman on the URI staff for the last year of Cox? I think he was Bozeman was also an assistant for Campanelli @ Cal and took over for him when he got fired in 93 Campanelli got fired when the players snuck up the back stairs and complained to the AD.

Mulkey is pretty well known at this point for being an awful human being that wins games. Her going scorched earth preemptively just means way more people are going to read that Washington Post story when it comes out, and they're going to be the heels of this tournament too. She's clearly afraid o...

Corny played for Dom Perno. He was good and was the main reason URI lost the ECAC New England championship in 1979. I was there at the PCC. URI and Sly missed the NCAA and had to settle for an NIT game at Maryland where they lost. Thompson was a great college player, but he wasn't the reason the Le...

Gotta give Cal credit. Unlike Undead Little Ricky, Cal doesn't dye his hair.

Rhody grudges: Nevada, Oregon, Stanford (especially Lee and Madson). Big west coast flavor. Who am I forgetting ? Not counting the Friars. They hold a more special place in Rhody lore. Duke.

Biased? Damn right. If two little kids were shooting marbles on the sidewalk and one of them was wearing mental-hospital gear, I'd root like hell for the other.

I’m confused about why PC fans are coming to our message board today. It’s a massive day for their program as they may or may not make the tournament, and you want to come here to talk shit about Archie? Then again, most of their fanbase is like this, so I’m not surprised. Because Providence fans s...

Iron Dukes' half-court defense reminds me of John Chaney's -- looks like a 2-3 zone but they're guarding their men and ready to trap at the seams. VCU looks like a Baron team against a zone.

Which did you use first? Rocket Surgery, The Cartel or The Mental Hospital?

No question it was rocket surgery.

Rhode_Island_Red

t's a humorous conflation of two different idioms; “It's not rocket science” and “It's not brain surgery”. Those two phrases are both used to communicate that something isn't as complex or difficult as it could be, with the perceived extreme complexity of rocket science and brain surgery offered as...

Wish I could be there to salute EZBuckets for all his work over the years. I remember him working the URI section at Mohegan Sun one year -- without a microphone or props -- keeping us loud and engaged for an entire game.

Well done, John.

I think it is reasonable to assume that number of players that transferred from Rhody would be a lot higher if we had good teams and desirable players. Yeah maybe, but that's kind of my whole point. Blaming the transfer rule changes and NIL for our struggles the last few years doesn't make any sens...

I don't know if Archie is going to be able to navigate today's coaching landscape, but one thing I do know is that he needs to be able to recruit much better players to come here. I'm not sure any coach would be able to win with this collection of marginally talented players (that is the nicest way...

Archie seems to be inscrutable. I sure as hell can't figure out his team. Solid word crafting there. Ivy League stuff, way beyond state U.
