Bill Bowers has passed away. I enjoyed the many bus trips with him over the years.

I'm not a big soccer guy, but if the PawSox skip town I really hope Grebien takes a run at the New England Revolution. They're currently looking for a location for a soccer-only stadium, and the Slater Mill project seems like it could be a great destination. Not as many games, but wayyyy higher att...

The A10s at the Palestra. Those were the days!

The schedule overall is not bad for a young inexperienced team such as URI. The only real issue with it is that the home schedule is not very attractive. Only five OOC home games versus Harvard, Middle Tenn, Brown, Bryant, and Stony Brook will not move ticket sales. The A-10 home schedule will prob...

Show him the Rhody love.

I believe that tweeting at him (what I assume you mean by showing him some love) is an NCAA violation.

Three If I heard correctly last night, DC said that it might be 4 which I take as meaning we'll play someone else on the way out (or back). The Diamond Head Classic tournament is 3 games for each team. If URI is playing a 4th game it's outside of the tournament This is what was meant by on the way ...

Making another donation to the basketball program once this is officially announced by Thorr to thank him for doing the right thing. For those who made the symbolic $20.18 contribution last month, maybe you can make a $20.19 contribtion after the press conference to show we support David Cox. Just ...

can anyone give a simple explanation as to how bracketology works? how does Lunardi (i know everyone hates him) have RI a 5 seed, but sent west while he has PC a 10 seed and they get to stay east and 45 minutes from the arena that hosts the sweet 16? I haven't researched, but I'm guessing others ha...

There is some concern among people that 3 banners for individuals are hanging there.....why are they any better than others who came before or after?? Especially Michelle Washington who I'm sure is a fine person and was a good player, but of whom I've literally never heard one word from anyone. The...

There is a movement afoot in the offseason to have Frank Keaney recognized in some way in the rafters. It's ridiculous that we went from having the gym named for him to not having him represented in the arena at all. Keaney Court? They sold the court naming rights to Alex & Ani. This won't fly.

Can you imagine the shit show that the ticket situation would be if PC & URI are playing in the regionals in Boston. Yikes

Bonnies beat Syracuse on the road and Maryland on a neutral site. That has to be worth something.

Speaking of Keaney blue... is anyone else bothered by the blue they use on the cumberHORNS? It's not Keaney blue! It's a different blue than the blue in the interlocking RI on the shorts. It's the wrong blue damnit! Why would they do that? The real Keaney Blue has been marginalized. It's almost not...

Speaking of pet peeves... Don't get me started on how bad Dan York is at being an announcer. It's seriously taking away from my enjoyment of the game. Just so horrible at being an announcer and in my opinion is getting worse and worse. Everything is long winded. Free throws are the free throws of d...

How were they embarrassing? I thought they were key in this win 1. During the national anthem one student yelled "Fuck PC" three times during the national anthem. For a fanbase who loves to take shots at other teams for having no class that's about as classless as you can get. Was this be...

We’re not going to convert casual followers into diehards. And causal followers won’t go to the game unless it’s an event as urix said. The key to a great program with great attendance is the students. Have to get more students there. Then those students who go to the games become diehards and stay...

I may start parking on that side then. For sure the security line should be shorter.

The security at the entrance is going to be the absolute worst. Getting through the turnstiles at a well attended game was already a problem.

If we're playing 4 guards this year and 3 are graduating then clearly there is time to be had.

Go read the tweets of @JasonRileyWDRB about the U of L piece of this. Fascinating and mind blowing.

I emailed Thorr about the plate a couple of weeks ago and he told me that such an effort would be handles by the Alumni Association. He then copied in the AA director who did not reply. In my opinion having a PC plate and not a URI plate would be an embarrassment.

So what? I liked Xavier Munford and did challenge GBG on his assertions about X. I make no apologies. I also recall YOU had several exchanges with him at that time. Yes, Preston was important in recruiting EC,Terrell and Jarvis. He was also key in recruiting that big man who many on this board were...

Yes, but we'll have at least 3 games away from home

Already planning on going even though it is two years out. Curious that this isn't for 2018-9.

Iona usually has a decent RPI and therefore beating them on the road would be a bonus.

When the Dems take back Congress, my guess is they will make changes to the Electoral College....that system doesn't work anymore. That will fundamentally change the entire election process....way overdue. This requires amending the Constitution. There is no chance that 3/4 of the states will go al...

Who is going to start at the 4 next year? I think Langevine will be solid at the 5. EC and Terrell will anchor the guards and either Jeff or Jarvis at point is a win. Does Akele show us something next year? Layssard is a question mark. We really don't have a shooting forward besides Akele. Do you r...

I travel to the area all the time for work. I haven't looked at flight yet, but try Santa Rosa, Oakland or SFO. You'll still have to rent a car a drive 2 hours but if it saves you money, let me know. And if anyone truly is going that route, let me know and I'll see what I can do to potentially help...
