I AM BACK !!! Screw Bryant, the scribes @ the Blowjo esp, K Mc AND his spouse and any and all of their ilk who have been URI's detractors forever and a day; for as long as I can remember. I'm now in my sixties ! Maybe they can tell us for the millionth time All the things that we are not suppose to ...

Carl K Tortella

Who the hell started all of this BS about expectations , probably the BlowJo !! By the way the season is not anywhere near over yet. Realistically playing 4 freshmen and 3 transfers out of our current 8 players my " expectations " are being realized . Last Sat. vs Dayton was outstanding !!...

Carl K Tortella

Has anyone else noticed that MANY of the least of the big east games are being played at the old gyms { pc @ St. Johns and Villanova for example } and when they go to the arenas the places look half EMPTY !!! Maybe that is why the friiiars spent all that money renovating alumni hall or did the state...

Carl K Tortella

Why is this a Big surprise to everyone ? No pun intended! Check out the postings under 4 Sources of Predictions BE Standings last posted on Jan. 3 where I prognosticated this happening {10-25 and 11-18 } ie, the little east, the new mid-major, St. Johns, pc, Butler, et al sucking, living in the past...

Carl K Tortella

IF Jordan is gone we have 3 to give. We had 2 left before signing Matthew B. and used the remaining one on Earl . That leaves Jordan's ?, Mike's and X's available !!!

Carl K Tortella

Sean go back on your suicide watch status at Brad's !!!!

Carl K Tortella

Heard that SEANMc94 is @ BRAD 'S and they have him on a suicide watch concerning Kris Dunn's status with pc . He is being limited to 3 slow gin fizzes a day and daily mandatory confession for his Rhody antics !!!!

Carl K Tortella

Twisted 3829, How did we get from Playboy to the Princeton Review? That is like comparing Marilyn Munroe to Phyllis Diller or pc to Harvard !!! Please!!!!!

Carl K Tortella

Let us PLEASE revisit the postings here around Dec. 30 where I challenged ANYONE to produce a scintilla of evidence that PLAYBOY EVER NAMED URI the # 1 party school in the whole of the US of A. I never ever want to hear this BS YARN again here or anywhere!!! As I stated before we were never even the...

Carl K Tortella

Rumor has it that he got caught with a female date , PERIOD!!!

Carl K Tortella

We were never EVEN the # 1 party school in RI!! Heard of BROWN!!!? Anyone who was there in the 60's and 70's when Playboy Supposedly called us out can attest to that fact!! If you were not in a Frat the URI campus resembled Forrest Lawn. I lived it there from 1963 into the 70's , the Animal House da...

Carl K Tortella

Then the Blowjo is WRONG again or their math is as BAD as their " newspaper " because that would compute to 15% !!!!

Carl K Tortella

I was at a bar Friday evening and 3 typical Rhode Islanders , a Friar couple in their 70's or older and a single woman, brought up this subject about Joe's $55,000 and what a waste of money it was to the taxpayers . I told them that since the state paid about 8% or $4,400. of the buyout and that I g...

Carl K Tortella

Rumor has it that they got caught with female dates!!!

Carl K Tortella

Rod, You KNOW why the bride is smiling when she is walking down the isle? Anyone who does it more than once is a retard but guys just can't help themselves. Women are basically all the same. It is just the degree of the torture, from benign to waterboarding !!!

Carl K Tortella

GIROS HAS MUCH BETTER FOOD AND IS 2 DRINKS CLOSER TO THE RYAN CENTER!!! That is where I will be on 12-28-13.

Carl K Tortella

RoadyJay, You should be ashamed of yourself for referring to our esteemed legislators as bums and our " friends " at the Blowjo as rump swabs , not verv PC ! No pun intended, actually very pc as in practically college. By the way how about a head count of how many of those bums matriculate...

Carl K Tortella

First of all let's compare the top ten teams of the A 10 to the ten teams of the new little east. To date this season the A 10 is superior!! As to expansion speculation it is just that and I am not sure that the A 10 would be interested in any of those teams. Stay tuned there is a long way to go thi...

Carl K Tortella

Thursday , 12-5-13 , GIROS from 3 PM on.............!!!!!! No friars , pleaseeeeeeeee. They can hit Brad's for the virgin mary happy hour.

Carl K Tortella

Do not forget the GIROS reunion from 3 Pm on pre pc game on Thurs. 12-5-13. Let us Pack the place !!!!

Carl K Tortella

Told you so !!!!! What about Creighton ? Oh , my bad they lost to GW yesterday but I am sure that Georgetown will be back in the rankings after they beat Linscomb tonight. Who???

Carl K Tortella

The free shots were designated for pre football games @ 11 AM or so, my tradition. Did not go to Giros until after the UMass Lowell game. However I will grandfather YOU in ATPTourFan for that shot the afternoon of the pc game when I hope that Giros is rocking with Rhody fans! I will be the guy with ...

Carl K Tortella

Nice Georgetown win over a tough Northeastern team. Oh, I am sorry Georgetown lost to Bill Coen's Huskies!!!!!!!! That should help their RPI.

Carl K Tortella

Certainly it is "fixable" !!!! If URI can not be at least a football equal of Maine and New Hampshire and be successful in the CAA { a great football league } then the entire university should be eliminated. Unfortunately URI is a stepchild of a politically corrupt and bankrupt state that ...

Carl K Tortella

The little east has become a so called mid-major league !!! Get over it and enjoy the season.

Carl K Tortella

Referencing my post here on Oct. 25 about the least of the big east or soon to be renamed the little east based on the early returns of this season , I rest my case!!!!!! Hey friar fans , how is your new league working out for you ? Get a reality check and stop living in the past. The upper 10 teams...

Carl K Tortella

Be there pre and post NC A&T tonight !!! Dec. 5 , pc pre { start about 3 PM } and post game festvities , mark it down.

Carl K Tortella

The SILENCE is deafening!!!!! It must be really BAD. Did anyone check the local police logs?

Carl K Tortella

Let them chill out at Brad's over a couple of virgin marys !!!

Carl K Tortella

Rhody74, Glad you enjoyed GIROS!! Aside from serving URI for 80 years, currently it's close, reasonable, friendly and not chainlike-closer to homemade. I have no horse in the race but am a strong believer in maintaining tradition and we should all help out the new owner, Pat Brown, a local trying to...

Carl K Tortella

Hey seanmc94 , You are certainly an expert on pin heads!!! Now go over to Brad's with the rest of the most homgeneous student body in America and have a Slow Gin Fizz!

Carl K Tortella

These 12 noon starts are really a pain. The first 3 home games were 1 PM kickoffs so it will be a quick twenty minutes pre game @ GIROS {tradition} with the hope that I can slip into the 5th Quarter Club parking area and be seated by game time. Then post game tailgating and dinner with the bride @ G...

Carl K Tortella

Let us not let friar Greg Smith and the rest of the DOUCHES at the Blowjo off the hook! It is time to let them know that we are sick and tired of them going out of their way to HURT our beloved STATE of RI University. URI is the most disrespected state university within its borders in the US of A an...

Carl K Tortella

Lose to Bryant and the next generation of Rhody fans will be hearing about it til the year 2065 from the BLOWJO just like the who is the state's highest paid employee crap and the rags ' lovefeast with the friars. The Blowjo has been doing this to URI at least as far back as 1949 when it resisted RI...

Carl K Tortella

THEY SHOULD RENAME THE LEAGUE THE little ten!

Carl K Tortella

HOMECOMING this Saturday , 10-26-13, GIROS @ 11AM the first 2 rhody guys through the door the shots are on me!!! See you there in the AM or after the Rams defeat Delaware.

Carl K Tortella

Pappy Owens said that Biggie was an NBA prospect! The last time he told me that about one of the Ram's from Philly he was talking about a player by the name of Cutino Mobley!!!

Carl K Tortella

Let's see - Syracuse, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Louisville, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and UConn- GONE! GONE! GONE! They can call it the big east but in reality the A -10 is going to be a better league this coming season. It"s more like the LEAST of the Big east!! The A -10 has an equal # of retur...

Carl K Tortella

With all of the priorities facing URI athletics playing Bryant is not even on the radar screen!

Carl K Tortella

Giros food will SMOKE those two greasy spoons!! Try it and see. Much cozier and more friendly . The best buffalo calamari that I have ever eaten and the hand made burger is superior to the two above mentioned joints!!!

Carl K Tortella

Ashcat, By the 'other' RI BB team are you referring to the one that according to The Princeton Review also has the most homogeneous student population in the country? But we already knew that fact. I must have missed The Projo's follow up article on " LOTS OF HARD LICKERS " !!! Oh I forgot...

Carl K Tortella

iGGY, We must know each other. I brokered the sale when Pat Mc , not to be confused with friar seanmc, purchased GIROS in 1985. Once Iggy's basically disappeared GIROS was it and aside from having a strong historical connection to URI it's one of the last neighborhood bars if not the only one left i...

Carl K Tortella

Giros has been serving URI for over 80 years! I have frequented the place since 1964 and enjoy many great memories from then to the present. One of my traditions is to arrive there Sat. @ 11AM before every home football game and do a few beers and a shot!! The food is excellent and reasonably priced...

Carl K Tortella

seanmc, That breeze you felt was my last posting here going right over your homo geneous head !PLEASE go back to the practically college website and stay there where you belong.

Carl K Tortella

Ramster's posting on 10-14-13 stated that The Princeton Review rated pc as having the most homogeneous student population in the country. Are you sure that it said homogeneous ???

Carl K Tortella

I am so elated that this issue is still being responded to by our subscribers! Please let us not forget that this TIME Deadspin supposedly precpitated this bogos article, yea right. What about all the other many times that the Blojo has visited this matter, be it Donalson, Reynolds or whoever, its a...

Carl K Tortella

I believe that Blue Cross is a quasi public company and if so that the ad should be removed ASAP!! Anyone know for sure? HOWEVER it wouldn"t be the first time that the friars bilked taxpayer money. Remember the most egregious move by that guy Dave Gavitt who wore two board of director hats { on...

Carl K Tortella

When Jon Clark was recruited the word from the coaches was that he was a banger!! In hindsight they must have meant that he got laid often!!!

Carl K Tortella

Rod, The "vitriol" is about McCoy, the Lynches, Harwood , Doyle et al in case you forgot and their minions the ERNIES of the world who helped keep URI literally down on the farm. Aside from being provencal he selfishly hung around too long as coach{probably working on his pension} thus pre...

Carl K Tortella

ERNIE C. ?? Please, he made one shot in the Garden and then spent the rest of his life sucking the guts out of URI. Oh I'm sorry; I forgot that he was from Pawtucket where you are bred to do that! How about Silk, Kenny Green, and Lamar with Sly, Cutino and Chubin as subs and do not forget John Fultz...
