I wonder if as a temporary work around they can get 90.3 to simulcast the post game shows when the game is on 920 AM.

The Ryan Center was running a promotion yesterday where the first 500 students would get entry into a VIP presale for an upcoming show. Could explain why some students left early, they might not have cared about the game in the first place.

But like I said in the post before that, they took Powell off the roster immediately. If they didn't consider Hare to be on the roster he'd be gone as well. They are telling us his status as best they can, just people don't want to listen because it doesn't have all the details we want.

And I hate this idea that if just a few games somehow went differently we'd all like him more. Well if our aunts had dicks they'd be our uncles. Those games didn't go differently, and they didn't go differently in large part due to Baron's coaching. He'd get us into the conversation of being a tourn...

He didn't run Wiley off the team. Wiley barely made it through the season without flunking off. Dustin was a good guy; he hung out with a lot of the same people I did but a lot of his off-court stuff didn't fly. I liked Jim as a person. Had a couple off-the-record conversations with him and while I...

Jordan Hare's academic record is a private matter by law, and there's no clause in that law that states they can release his academic records because fans of a college basketball team want to know his status. There's not even a clause if they really, REALLY want to know his status. There's no clause...

RhowdyRam02

You all act like they can tell you more than they have. There's a very limited scope of what they can say publicly about a student's academic standing. Mike Powell's name was taken off the roster very quickly. Jordan Hare is still on the roster. Right now Hare is part of the team and we're best to v...

That video was exactly the kind of thing I was talking about in the Ryan Center thread, short little videos like these need to be a part of the Ryan Center experience! At a crucial time, what gets more fans more pumped, this video or a get loud graphic that people stop yelling for the second it's of...

This blurs the bigger point. The staff hasn't changed on an offense that is consistently doomed to fail. X's stats, as much as I like to throw them out there, are the symptom rather than the illness. The offensive system is dismal. My worry is that EC's play will be the symptom next year. I truly b...

I did! Running Troy Wiley, Dustin Hellenga, and Chris Holm off the team.
Guess they weren't Final Four caliber players.

He graduated all his players, except all of the ones who didn't graduate because he booted them from the team.

Probably not going to get to me, but I'll put up my link after Twisted if no one minds. If I get my Mews certificate free I'll donate my $18 I was going to spend to this site.

I was never a fan of his cutting a player's scholarship early by telling the student, "we want to be a Final Four program and you're not a Final Four player." It was especially weak considering he couldn't get us into the tournament at all. Although maybe he meant Final Four of the NIT the...

We lost 81-44 down there last year, with their bench outscoring our bench, and almost our whole team, 42-13. We went 1-20 from 3, with the only 3 coming from Munford. That 3 by Munford also happened to be his only 3 points on the game. Two of their top four scorers from last year's game, Ronald Robe...

You think we're bad? Go on the A-10 board and read outsiders thoughts on yesterday's game. Like how atrocious both teams played, and how nobody deserved to win. Yes, I'll take a win, but this wasn't exactly like we beat Kansas in the NCAAs. I'm sure all of the people on the A-10 board are great peo...

I don't know how you can knock Talib. He was taken out on a blindside low block by Welker. "It was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib. No attempt to get open. I'll let the league handle the discipline on that play. It's not for me to decide, but it's one of the worst plays I've...

And reading through this thread it occurs to me that if you didn't know yesterday's score you'd think we lost. I understand we don't need unicorns farting rainbows after every win, but this is just a wee bit negative for the outcome.

In the "Whose fault is this?", category, we have this quote: "When you have a program that is struggling, coming off (a) 7-24 (season), you want to try and create some buzz about your program,” Hurley said. “It helps recruiting. It helps fan interest, and indirectly what you end up d...

I have heard that Dan is not a closer. He is too honest and straight with the recruits. He also doesn't spend the time stroking the recruits- spending little time during the season visiting and talking compared to the guy North of us. I know we'd all prefer 4 year guys, but maybe this is part of wh...

It wasn't pretty, but it's a win!

The next home game is Saturday against Dayton and Xavier Cochran will be there on a visit. Step 1.

The retired jersey thread reminded me of a major gripe I've had with the Ryan Center experience. How do we not have a bunch of video packages that highlight our best players, teams, and moments? You could play these montages before the games and during timeouts when you're not running other promotio...

RhowdyRam02

I'm pretty much the opposite of most of you. I feel banners that just list players names would look incredibly tacky. I am in favor of retiring numbers however, but in extremely limited cases. I think you should have to be a member of the URI Hall of Fame and then there should also be a second major...

I agree he needed to bring in transfers with guys leaving, and I agree that our best teams were built over a few years .... but the high expectations came from Hurley, not us. He told us that the guys sitting out were very good, that he would turn things around quickly. Last night, half of those fo...

[quote="Rhody72"]While EC and HM have matured and X has returned to form, our depth and confidence has gone south since we last played GM. If GB and TJ have good games, we could squeak out a win. But this is saying that everything has to go right for us and bad for GM. Question #2: Was URI...

RhowdyRam02

I know everyone had higher expectations, but I think it's an important thing to keep in mind how bare the cupboard was when Hurley took over. A season and a half in and we have ONE player from 2011-2012, a team that went 7-24 4-10 in conference. By my count 7 out of the 10 players getting any sort o...

Time to turn the page. When I posted a thread taking stock of where we were at the start of the A10 schedule I pointed to this game as potentially the most important game of the season and the best barometer for how the A10 season would go. We lost by 7 at George Mason this season, but were up 1 wit...

New starting lineup and ride them until they foul out. Slow down the game, so they can play the entire 40 minutes. Nobody else deserves any playing time. Place TJ on the opponents top scorer at G or SF all game long. He plays great defense and does not foul. PG- EC SG- X SF- TJ PF- Hassan C- Gil If...

We bought into the representation that DH was a top up-and-coming coach who would turn the URI program around in a hurry. This was followed by the arrival of top transfers who crushed last year's team in practice scrimmages. A team that beat SMU last yet was crushed by SMU this season even though t...

My belief is that we have no shot at an at-large bid to the NCAA.....that fate was sealed during the OOC portion of our season....given that it is best for the conference for our best teams to earn at-large bids and high seeds....it would be devastating to their seasons to lose to us....hence I am ...

True story, it was at the civic center, I was there. Those were the years where a moral victory was to get to 50 points.

I saw a few Hurley quotes. In the Journal he talked about how they've been starting games. “We were flat the last two games,” Hurley said. “I think we carried the disappointment from the Saint Louis game down here a bit.

Yesterday's game was horrible. And I do appreciate people proposing solutions instead of just griping, it makes for a better board. But let's not kid ourselves, there were some real clunkers and lopsided games last year, and that was when we were trying to take the air out of the ball. Lost by 12 to...

We have Hassan and EC for four years, and if we get good again any time soon then they will be the core of that team. So, if Dan thinks that Hassan and EC are benefited by playing a style that the other guys on the roster can't play, I'd rather they play that style to continue those guys' developme...

Even though they are public figures, there are definitely privacy rights the players still maintain.
