For this is a story of something of a foregone conclusion: Four had been jinxed -- or -- a jinx to his new team, since that former Brown forecourt player, Bill Reynolds, featured #4 in his feature story entitled: "Alumni Lounge Tales." Naturally, Reynolds subconsciously has it out for Four...

Wow, Obadiah, where did that come from? It's been nearly a week since an attendance post, and -- BOOM -- it's a pleasure to find someone else who is disgusted with excuses about excuses, which just deny the obvious: People love commitment, sorta.

"Did you just compare a basketball coach who was sad that one of his players (who he was very close to) sustained a season-ending injury to a war? I mean I saw people arguing on here over whether or not a comparison between URI and a Pats team is viable - comparing a coach to a LT in a battle t...

Hi, I guess that I'm particular in your mode of thinking. No, I'm not fucking kidding you. A little humanity does go a long way, but I stand by what I wrote, 2010.

Couple of points to no one in particular: 4) This response is to bress - the biggest disappointment of the year was Hurley being publicly saddened by the loss of EC? Are you fucking kidding me? And by "publicly" you mean quotes in one article out of dozens posted on the subject, whereas y...

2) I'm starting to wonder what the excuses will be for next year? Let's be honest...EC coming off ACL surgery. Anybody got a list of college kids who have come back from ACL surgery better than they were before? If they did come back, how much rust was on their game? So to think EC comes back and e...

Regardless of how "lazy" he was, others think they can light a fire under his ass.
ACC, Big 12 teams' walk-ons could give Rhody, well, a defeat.

True rod, and Dan istrying to change the culture. but the culture change did take a hit when EC went down, so they don't have him to lean on at the end of games. i think they may still be adjusting to that reality. Really noone has become the go to player. It looks like Jarvis and Jared are trying ...

RHODY DROPS A LINCOLN LOG LINCOLN, Neb. -- The University of Rhode Island squandered not only a wonderful opportunity to put one in the much-needed win column, but also an 11-point first half lead, bowing to Nebraska, 70-67, yesterday. Reaction to the latest Ram setback was summed up by RI_Bred, wh...

Sooo...is there a scenario where, 'if they win x # in a row, starting now" that they get ranked? If they win the next 5 (@Nebraska, Iona, @ODU, @Brown, St. L)...do they get ranked? Yeah, they do. In the Old Days it was called: The New England Top 10 Teams. What would one call it today? N.E. Ra...

A need for a practice player.

bressler3south

Path to getting ranked? Don't lose. 1/3 of the season is gone, opportunities missed. There can't be any more "what if" scenarios, a la JB's leaderless miscues and last year's shit-the-bed finish. But it will happen; a string of bad losses to, say, Nebraska, Iona; St. Joe's; perhaps to Ford...

What are some of the larger rooms in the memorial union used for these days? Since the drinking age was 18 when I was there, there was The Pub, The Rams Den and the even larger room upstairs.

I think 5,000 for tonight game....give or take a few.....not great, but OK considering Saturday's result. If we had won, I would have said 6,000. Such is the nature of URI fandom.

Are you talking to me? I definitely never said he can shoot it but not much else.

You are right. I expect a smallish crowd tomorrow night. I've never seen a big crowd following one of these big game losses. It's like our fans can only get up for certain games and can't be bothered for the rest. This is a significant game, against an unbeaten team. It should be well attended, but...

I believe you lose the right to the moral high ground as a fandom when a relatively high profile Friars-related social media account mocks an opposing player's season ending injury. And to an above comment, the Rams shot 9-13 from the line, which is decidedly not less than 50%. Ah, Ace back from he...

The last thing I'll write about it is this: Ever since all the talk about Coach Hurley's arrival, buzz, season tickets, increased fees, etc., rationalizations, expectations, improvements, culture, recruiting, etc., etc., you and your brethren have constantly harped on the assumption of onward and up...

I guess you were trying to be sarcastic, but yes - I think a win Saturday will give attendance a little kick for the rest of the OOC schedule. If we make the tournament this year, I think next year season tickets and student attendance jump considerably. If we make it 2, 3, 4 years in a row, I do t...

I get that, but also some of it is on him and the team. Go beat PC Saturday, and if nobody shows up to the next game maybe he will have a reason to question the fans. If we make it to the tournament, you'll have more Rhody fans travel to the first round game than you had at the HC game last night. ...
