That was a very special team!
As a kid I remember how hot a cold January day felt inside Keaney. That Temple game in 88 was also Super Bowl Sunday.
Redskins vs Broncos.

Crazy to think penn state, West Virginia, and Rutgers were all in the A-10 for hoops.

I was at the game yesterday with my wife and two kids who attend URI. My kids had to pay for their tickets (yes it was a last minute decision) as the student allotment was sold out. I was like wow, this place should be close to a sell out than if they sold out the student allotment. I was quite sur...

Jim Donaldson @JimDonaldsonJr Big game in Kingston on Saturday as #14 @RhodyFootball hosts #10 @Delaware_FB. Blue Hens opened the season with a win @NavyFB. Tough test for the Rams. Great to see Rhody once again playing this well. Screw Jim Donaldson. He couldn't find Kingston on a map if you spott...

Rhodysk

Don is legendary no doubt
Best of luck to Chris! I’m sure he will do great

Rhodysk

This is such a huge game for week 3! Great opportunity to really make a statement and make non believers believe.
Sold out crowd and on crappy flosports.

Rhodysk

I think it’s about time the kids name go on the jersey. We all know the program is stuck in the 80’s but come on.
Can URI not act like small time. We have a high school scoreboard at least put the names on the jerseys.

Rhodysk

I always forget about flosports thanks

Rhodysk

I assume ESPN+ will have the tv?

Rhodysk

The real question is how many seats do they hold for season tickets?

I think capacity is around 7,000. So how many of those are saved and then sold out for season tickets?

Do they even sell standing room only tickets?

Rhodysk

Rhody is about 10 years too late for a video board. But hey we got a message board on the scoreboard. Most scoreboards are paid for by sponsorship. I always thought that a video board scoreboard should be where the scoreboard is now and then take the old one and put it in north end zone so teams don...

Rhodysk

When I seen the game times that is the first thing I thought of was TV deal making game times. Also does the CAA consider URI a real playoff contender? That could also be a hidden factor. With JMU leaving, CAA needs to find the next team and maybe they are spreading it out to all teams and seeing ho...

Rhodysk

Pretty much all 1pm home games beside brown 6pm.
I was hoping for maybe 3:30-4:00 games.

Rhodysk

Someone needs to find what the hold up is on retiring players banners in the RC. For Christ sake the former players that gave everything to this school and program are calling for it. Kenny mentioned it so did silk, Dwan. It’s obviously something that means something to them. Why is the athletic dep...

Rhodysk

I for one will admit, I have been watching just as much of the womens NCAA tournament as the Mens.
Was thinking how cool and how many fans would of went to Bridgeport to support the women? I could see Rhody Women dancing in the next year or two with coach T!

Very well deserved contract!!!

Rhodysk

WELCOME TO TRANSFER U!!!

Rhodysk

The twins was all hype no work and expected things given to them. Good luck elsewhere

As far as Archie, what coach wouldn’t want a blank roster to rebuild. There is a reason they brought him in and if they kids wanna go, bye.

Rhodysk

Like I always said you don’t retire the number but a banner with the name, years played, should be a start. You could always do 5 for the next 2 seasons to get caught up. You put those on game nights against non conference teams like brown, central conn. State. Those crappy non conference games but ...

Rhodysk

Fox was one of my favorites of all time but also a very famous #25 was Will Daniels.

Rhodysk

I’m sure Archie has some assistants lined up. Maybe even before he took the “ official offer Thursday night “. Do coaches still go to the final four weekend to “ mingle “? If so I hope Archie goes and talks up the school. If I recall isn’t that the time Baron set up the game at Duke? For the first c...

Rhodysk

Kentucky and UConn losing on the same night! Priceless.
Pee Cee going to lose Saturday to a A-10 team is the icing on the cake!

Rhodysk

Maybe it’s time to think outside the box. Wink wink.
The east stands gets vandalized so bad that maybe school has to use insurance to fix? Come on Rhody football put your heads together!!!

Rhodysk

If the state or RI can pay to fix the leak in the dumping donuts center than the state should be able to fix the east stands.

Maybe Rhody is putting the squeeze on the state?
God forbid something happens to those stands when people on it being the state school.

Rhodysk

Just seen that QB EJ Perry of Brown is scheduled to throw at the NFL Combine in Indy.

Rhodysk

Yes I know the history. For years every dam time URI goes to play at Fordham it’s a dam dog fight. Maybe URI brings the best out of them. But the fordhams of the A-10 being better only helps the conference. Yes URI has NCAA credits but doesn’t every team get a small piece of that pie? So, has URI be...

Rhodysk

Just wondering with so many people on this board wanting Fordham to be kicked out of the A-10 does that mean now Rhode Island needs to be kicked out for losing to them? I said before when all the conference shuffling is done Rhode Island may need schools like Fordham to be in a conference with them....

Rhodysk

Great post. This has been URI’s problem for the last 30 plus years. Always was a stepping stone type of school. Everyone one wants to mention the Penders,Harrick, and hurly’s but remember Al Skinner. Look what they did to him. He got the school to a few NCAA tournaments and then URI low balled him o...

Rhodysk

USA network. National TV game replacing Davidson/vcu

Rhodysk

When the Ryan Center opened I worked for the game operations which was in the control room for the scoreboards. Yes they have the ability to show replays. I know because I was the one showing Dustin’s shot to win against USC on a loop while the fans were on the court. Just like the “ old “ dancing R...

Rhodysk

Not to be the debbie downer just asking a question. While I think everyone is happy Rhody got to fly down to the game and on the patriots plane and all that, yada yada yada BUT what is the NCAA rules on this? I’m sure everything was cleared and given the go ahead but would this be a form of a gift? ...

Rhodysk

Why isn’t there banners inside the Ryan Center of former players that meant so much to this program?

Hell, the football team has something up.

Rhodysk

Is there a definite date to start construction on the basketball practice area? We have heard and seen drawings for years, when will it be finally done.

Rhodysk

Call me crazy but if the scoreboard was moved closer to the field, they could sell the back of it for advertising. As you would see the back of it as you walk in and while you walk from east to west stands.

I still believe they should utilize the old scoreboard in the north end zone.

Rhodysk

A scoreboard with video is a must! But honestly I think they could still use the scoreboard now, just relocate it to the ( north )end zone where the ambulance sits. Then have the new scoreboard with video in place where the scoreboard is now ( south end zone ) This way teams would see the clock no m...

Rhodysk

That is so nice! Congrats to everyone

Rhodysk

Rhody fans.
We need to take over brown stadium.
Wear your Rhody blue!!!

Rhodysk

I think we all agree the athletic department needs to make money but my thinking is WIN! I don’t care if it’s basketball or football. Put the product out there to win and people will show up. Everyone down plays the football program but look at last night. Winning cures everything. Charging for park...

Rhodysk

Was there any release about charging for parking? I have been a season ticket holder for years and never got one word about it. I know funds are tough to come by but a jump to $15 is pretty extreme. I can understand maybe $5 but the whole point of going to Meade or Ryan center was FREE parking. It m...

Rhodysk

Everyone always jump on dumping the Fordhams, LaSalle, etc But I think the VCUs,Dayton, even Umass could be the real teams moving. Umass because of Football if a conference comes calling. Remember they were already kicked out of one. What if a school like UConn moves out of the big east if a confere...

Rhodysk

I hear Jeff downtin is playing with Orlando summer league in Vegas and golden state in Salt Lake City

Rhodysk

Starting 5 1988. Even tho Kenny green was the 6th man the starting 5 was very tough.

Rhodysk

I didn’t see Pee Cee make it. I thought Cooley said in November he had a tournament team and needed to schedule accordingly. Sorry to re-hash it but next year URI has got to put there foot down and say if they wanna play then it’s in Kingston. No more kissing there Ass. URI already has a pretty good...

Rhodysk

Thank god for Fordham and st joes. Or we wouldn’t even be in the A-10 tournament

Rhodysk

His players would play there hearts out for that guy.
His voiced would echo in Keaney with the place packed all the way to the tunnels. He was great for the A10 at a time the conference needed exposure. His match up zone was so good.
Unless you had Tyson,cat, Preston shooting the lights out from 3!

Rhodysk

I absolutely hated attending URI games at the PCC. From everything to paying for parking to sitting in those horrible seats. Pictures of Pee Cee all over and those awful stickers to cover the floor. At the time it was the only way big schools would play us. Seen some really amazing talent come in. J...

Rhodysk

Surprised the A10 hasn’t released a statement regarding the future contract with NBCS

Rhodysk

Any information come up about what happen at the end of the game?

Rhodysk

Free throws free throws free throws.
That is how they lost this game.
It sad that every year we still are not a good free throw team.

Rhodysk

Looks like Cox is trying to be buddies with all the guys. Like he is coaching a youth team and everyone gets equal playing time.

Cox talks a good game in interviews but he still is lost coaching on the sideline. He shows no fire or passion. He just rolls out the balls and says go play

Rhodysk

There needs to be major line up switches. If guys have there feels hurt. Bye.
