Re: Brainstorming about updating campus area

Why is the bookstore hidden in the basement...? Where can I get legit URI gear on campus...? Another idea: Build a new bookst...

Re: 2014-15 Schedule
Thanks guys, glad you liked my post. I have other ideas that may or may not be do-able. Maybe at some point I'll get a chance to post them. With the "Patriots Place" ("Rams Place") idea, maybe in "Phase 1" an alumni group can approach Marriott for a nice partnership, an...

Re: 2014-15 Schedule
- URI has untapped advantages that aren't available to most schools around here, and #1 is SPACE. URI isn't landlocked like PC or Brown or even Salve... which leads me to think of possibilities like... - in addition to students, get the general public and families interested in going... - bulldoze t...

Re: 2014-15 Schedule
RPI wise, had they added a(nother) real bottom barrel D1 opponent, that would have likely hurt their RPI more than the win would have helped. A win would have given the team a very marginally better D1 winning percentage (25% RPI weight), but at the heavy cost of opponents (50% RPI weight) and oppo...

Re: Our Logo
Maybe Athletics needs a design a new logo contest? This was suggested during the late-spring/early summer when the discussion was about the floor, marketing, etc., perpetrated by the RISD guy's sudden appearance -- and then -- sudden disappearance…. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :...

Re: Student Section to be Renamed
what do you guys think of The Firehouse Gang It's original and this pays homage to Frank Keaney and our History. Just throwing it out there... Great idea to take from the past: - "The Firehouse Gang" is the best by far in my opinion. - The Rhode Warriors - Rhode Kill - The Rampage - The R...

Re: Our New Floor
Ok, here's another idea: URI should open up an off-campus URI Rams clothing store in Wakefield or Narragansett , maybe in Salt Pond Plaza, where people are constantly getting Colvitto's and going to Stop N Shop, GameStop, Froyo Fix and Brainwaves... maybe rent out part of the old Major Video unit, w...

Re: Our New Floor
Man, tough crowd...! By "state pride" I meant "promoting college basketball teams' rivalries in the state of Rhode Island", with an emphasis on showing people in other areas of the country how intense the rivalry is between the Rhode Island Rams and [those other guys located 1.5 ...

Re: Our New Floor
I don't know about patches on the uniform, but a lot of college football teams give players some commemorative trinkets for rivalry games (I think they might get them win or lose, but not sure). Yeah, my thought is that the players would have the star right there on the uniform which would stay the...

Re: Our New Floor
I don't want Providence College's name anywhere on the floor of the Ryan Center. I would however not mind seeing the rivalry game with them branded with a name and promoted more. The Xavier-Cincinnati game is called the Cross-Town Shootout. I think a unique name such as that would help the rivalry ...

Re: Our New Floor
Ok, here's another idea: Instead of the students sections holding up Fatheads on sticks, which jumped the shark about 5 minutes after the first guy did it... instead, each student spends $14 bucks, buys a mask like you'll find on the Amazon link below and in the photo, puts it on during critical gam...

Re: Our New Floor
In reference to "Rivalry decals:" There's the A-10 logo at the foul lines, and I believe (could be very wrong…wouldn't be the first time!!!!!) that each A-10 school has a representative banner adorning the rafters. The "true point" is this: You don't want your effin' new floor t...

Re: Our New Floor
Screw PC. I don't want anything involving them on our floor. That's cool. Definitely understand. I'm just throwing ideas out there. I had made the word "Friars" much smaller and puny, but I can see not wanting them at all. The idea is that the other team would do it on their court too. Wh...

Long time lurker here, haven't posted in over a year, which was under a different name... RISD grad from the 80's, allows me to be a Friars fan and Rams fan too (I don't follow the RISD Balls hoops team, nor the RISD Nads hockey team). :D :shock: :D Grew up 3 miles from PC; for 20 years been in Sout...
