OK, I guess Kapono was pretty good, I only saw him play one game on TV and I did not see much, but his numbers prove that he was good.

Can anyone expound on the deal given to Harrick, that was taken off the table?

"He changed his mind. He's not coming back." Then there was the odd press conference that followed, with Muskrat questioning Harrick's mental stability. . It was not Muskrat holding the press conference, it was the VP, I know his name, but just can't think of it at this moment. The VP tha...

I guess I will add my two cents, I agree it looks good, but the track does not belong in a football stadium, plus I don't think this is large enough for regulation sized soccer. I only know of Brown and U of Buffalo that has a track around the football field, Maybe Nova has it also. Schools that are...

I agree about the Ram logo. Bring it back in some form. It's WAY better than the VCU or Fordham logo. I vote for the Ram Logo to come back, I loved the logo on the old floor, love on hats, but it is hard to find a Navy hat with a Bright Rhody blue Logo on the front. Nothing is wrong with the logo.

I would say a seat cost about $2,000+. If you do over East stands, and did it concrete, I think that would cost $10 million if you have 5,000 seats. I would think Meade should be rebuild in a new area not aside of the Ryan Center, so I would like to see minor improvements now, and a new stadium down...

I would like to see a hotel, maybe on Upper college road, and replace the faculty Center with a Faculty Center inside a new Hotel.

I would like to see the Kingston Emporium area rebuilt, and encompass the area area of stores just south across I believe Fortin Rd. from the Emporium.

Nothing has changed in 12 years with URI Football. The problem back then was URI needs to string two very successful seasons in a row to drive the motor for all of this to take place. Oh, so close was Stowers's second year when they started 7-0 with those wins against UD, JMU, Hofstra, and Brown, a...

You could make a strong argument that U of New Haven has better facilities than URI.

Well, Joe can't take all the blame, as RF1 states. I wish him well. It will be interesting to see who is next, and if even minor facility improvement can occur. Lights (even temp lights), field turf on practice or Meade.

The last game he played in was one of the most amazing URI sporting events I ever saw. In a driving windswept rainstorm with SW winds gusting to over 40 mph, Rhody drove the length of the field into the wind, to score the winning TD against UConn. Everyone was soaked after the game, even the UConn b...

Yes, the program is salvagable. I thing the program was heading in the right direction, but the NEC move set us back 4-5 years. 1.

This post amazes me and really defines URI mentality and maybe the State of Rhode Island. I don't think URI football has ever been given the support it needs to be successful, in 100 years.

URI needs NJ and NY out of state students to survive. They take their football seriously there, and expect a University to have footbal and not a joke for facilities. l. All you have to see is all the NJ and NY cars tailgating on a Football Saturday.

Where did the money go from the game URI football played at Army, Buffalo, Syracuse, BC? The money went into the general Athletic fund, not all back to football, some probably went to (M) basketball.

UNH football stadium is nothing special, but they did put in field turf, and they have plans for improvements , I don't know about lights.

Well, I like to think many coaches could turn the program around and it would not take a stadium like Liberty University has to do it. A little commitment could go a long way.

Mentality has to change, you never heard of Maine or UNH saying they would drop down to NEC, and Maine has big travel expenses. The NEC fiasco set the program back 5 years at least, and Joe is not to blame for that.

I don't know what the NBC Sports network deal with the CAA is, but I do not think URI TV football money is $0.00.
I watched the Nova at Towson game saturday night, it was a very exciting game to watch. I think the CAA games are more fun to watch than many other FBS games on TV.
