Interesting thread :) My tiny .02? Giving exclusive billboard rights on I95 and TFGreen to Friartown is a travesty. It’s still a bit early to make a final “fail” call on Loyola Chicago. What do you think our advertising budget is? How much of that budget would you want to spend on an ad just to com...

How many PC tickets did you buy because you saw that ad? Do you not understand the difference between direct response marketing and branding? Rhetorical question. Different mediums different objectives. Go back to the kid’s table. What's this, the third response to me since you were done with me? I...

Kind of..um..aggressive. As someone not in advertising who travels a lot for work, yeah I see that Friartown sign at the airport a lot. It gives off the vibe that they are all that people care about in the state. I never check a bag, I'm usually just getting out of there to my car as fast as possib...

Don Draper wannabe says Bud Light did just great. Marketing! Yeah, um, that's not what I said. RIF I thought we were done here. You recited a great lion speech and everything. Honestly that was easier than I thought I just blew a few million dollars of my client's budget and slugged a six pack of b...

bigappleram

Yeah, I love appeal to authority arguments. Because companies are always well run, never make mistakes, and their marketing is always spot on. How much money did Bud Light make in 2023 over 2022 with their always well run marketing? If marketing doesn't work and no one pays attention then why did a...

I said that people are in a bad mood in traffic on 95, I said that no one is paying attention at the baggage claim in the airport, they're looking for their bag to leave. I get that you're a Don Draper wannabe fraudster, so you love highway billboards and airport signage. You can soak your clients ...

Someone needs to tell Apple, Nike and McDonald's that marketing doesn't work. Those dumb people running those companies could save all that money, hire RhodyRam and see their market cap soar. And BlueMan marketing is just 1 piece of the pie not the end all be all. But to build a brand you need a gre...

Caught a glimpse of that giant Providence Friars Wall mural many times the past few months. Wishing we had one.

As opposed to your brilliance? You wanted Hurley fired, you wanted Cox kept, you thought hiring Archie Miller wasn't realistic, and you think our destiny as an athletic program for a state flagship should be left to be decided by a handful of small Catholic colleges who haven't once brought anythin...

bigappleram

I don’t. Green needs to start. We are better on both ends of floor with him in the game. He never found his rhythm tonight due to the 2 early fouls. But he’ll learn and adjust. For Umass Green vs Cross is going to be a battle. Same for Fuchs vs Cohen. If we can hold our own in those matchups I like ...

bigappleram

Also key, not sure of the stats, but in both wins our 2nd half free throw shooting has been very good. This team is at their best attacking the paint and forcing fouls. Can’t avoid them (sorry Ramster). Gotta make them and shoot 25-30 a night to win.

bigappleram

You know when you know you have a good coach? When you’re playing the best you’ve played all night down the stretch, and you keep your best player on the bench because the guys on the floor are getting it done. That’s great fucking coaching and such a good sign for this team and our depth. Totally ...

bigappleram

I don’t think Davidson is good but that’s still a real good road dub Last years team loses that game by double digits Depth on display tonight with Green mostly a non factor. Huge minutes from Brown. Play of the game might have been when he snatched that 50/50 ball and fed House for the dunk. That’s...

They’re skinny, but lanky and can shoot, feel like they always get offensive rebounds and kick it out for a three. If we are nice and aggressive we will live at the foul line....so hopefully we can cash in lol If we want to live at the foul line then that means we exchange that in place of getting ...

Davidson has the straightest arms in the league.
No weight room down there

bigappleram

Matchup wise this should benefit us. They don’t try to turn you over much. Aren’t overly physical. As long as our guys read the scout and communicate on D on all the back cuts and motion there is no reason we can’t win there. Skogman is tough but unlike last Davidson teams their back court doesn’t s...

bigappleram

PC is going to go through similar to what we went through when EC went down. Natural transition period with a high usage, alpha offensive star going down. Other guys will have to fill void and develop faster (Dual, Pierre, Castro, Floyd) but offensively they are gonna be a slog on many nights and wi...

Holmes is going to be a problem. Big Problem. That guy can play. Holmes is going to be a problem bc he's an NBA player. Cross (Umass) is going to be a problem bc he plays harder than anyone else on the floor. Before Green I thought Cross could easily go for 20 and 20 against us. That kid plays like...

Yes, because pretty much all of your opinions are not in the best interest of the University, and I don't have patience for people that aren't for what's best for the University.

Kortright has been our most consistent performer this year by far. Solid every game. Does a little bit of everything and makes good decisions. Not a natural PG but performing well at that position.

bigappleram

The worst called game was against Iona at the RC in the NIT. The refs needed a police escort off the court. AJ English was an absolute stud for them. Cluess had some fun teams to watch at Iona. Regular NCAA appearances but can’t remember if they ever won a game. They didn’t. His style of play while...

bigappleram

Like when we lost EC it’s going to force some of their young guys to step up and develop faster… long term that’s prob good for them.

But also like when we lost EC I think they will struggle mightily on offensive end. I don’t see them being an ncaa team without Hopkins.

bigappleram

I agree with many here that Fuchs best spot is at the 5 but I will add at this time, for this team, this season. I still hold out hope that he can improve his foot speed (especially lateral movement) to play the 4 and 5 for us in the coming seasons. That said, Fuchs and the team trainer have a lot ...

bigappleram

I actually think when he develops further his natural position will be at the 4. Right now the issue is less offensive end but he can’t cover quick athletic 4 men that you see a lot of at mid major level. I do agree right now his best spot for us is at the 5. Him and Green are our best rebounders by...

David Fuchs over his last 4 games (PC, Brown, NE, SJU)

Averaging 11ppg, 9rpg, 62% from the field in 25 minutes a night.
Insane efficiency.

bigappleram

Weston didn’t seem like the type that could take a marginal role and then maximize it. But he did just that. Was immense on D, made winnings plays, and was massive in his minutes. Probably his best stretch of minutes in Keaney Blue. Also tonight, for the first time, we saw Archie go with Estevez at ...

bigappleram

David Green is our most impt player. Every game. He elevates everyone. David Fuchs haters need to say a proper mea culpa. Weston and Fou come in cold and give great contributions in crunch time. Archie coached his ass off. Kortright is clutch, inserting him for Weston in a last shot sequence was the...

bigappleram

Yeah people just want to think Fuchs is better right now, because people have been hard on him. You and BlueMan = people for the most part Blueman has been way harder than me! But still, he's not better than Bilau. I know you guys don't acknowledge +/- but... Josophat Bilau is +7.2 best on the team...

bigappleram

I just listened to a segment...LOL...the "Rhody" insider talking about David Green possibly covering Erik Reynolds. And that our front court has been the only consistent aspect of the team. Like WTF? They are a joke.

bigappleram

No one should listen to a thing A10 Talk puts out.
A bunch of children with little perspective or expertise.

bigappleram

I think that’s the best comp yet. A lefty version.
Mike was tough, versatile, and could score inside and out. Prob less of a back to the basket threat than Green but more similar IMO than others thrown out.

bigappleram

Yes...it was 1 of many blunders that game...and every game. But I digress.

bigappleram

This is why discussions like this should be in the rotation thread and not so much in individual game threads. Keeping comments on who should start, who shouldn’t, who is getting too many minutes, not enough minutes are all easier to track and remember when contained. Would you agree Adam that the ...

I don’t see the Delroy comp besides them both being 6’7 lefties. Del was a slasher with a really good handle and slithery in traffic. Green seems to rely more on strength and high IQ. Regardless he’s our most impt player after just 1 game. His previous stats in CUSA and CAA don’t add up to me. Eith...

Josh King was a traditional wing tho. ARD was the 4 and Luther the 5. Josh King comp is way closer to Zek than Green tho Zek can do more off the dribble than Josh could.

bigappleram

Green was playing on the wing on Offense. On the right side to be more specific. Actually, it was kind of comical, at least three times he was beyond the arch on the same side as Estevez. Estevez shoo'ed him away with his hand as if to say this is my spot and Green moved. lol. One time was the play...

Weston also often complains about Referee Calls and lets that impact his emotional behavior. Others just take Referee calls calmly and without issue. Weston has had opportunity and many on this board have maintained high expectations for him even to this point while others tend to get a significant...

bigappleram

Something to keep in mind tho is that Green wasn’t scouted or probably even accounted for in the scout by Northeastern. That won’t be the case moving fwd. I do think he gets the start vs St Joe’s. It’s go time no use holding him back if he’s healthy. St Joe’s guards will be a very tough matchup for ...

I believe Weston’s mom was a ball player. Which makes it even more surprising that he has little to no basketball awareness and instincts. Great size, great athleticism but no basketball instincts. Some of the body language stuff makes u think he just started playing basketball yesterday. He misses ...
