I'm in Ct and get the Cox channel with the Rhody games. Late game or not, I'll be there!

neil

I don't know if this was mentioned, but X's 8 three pointers was one behind the record set by Tyson.
Keep it up, X!

neil

Good post ramsfan - Regardless of who is qb, he will be throwing to an almost new receiving corp. Morgan, Farrell and others are graduating. It will be a very long season, again next year.

neil

Good point, Ramulous! I went down to Daytona Beach a number of years ago to watch the Rams in a tournament. Sat next to Will's parents - great role models for their son.

neil

If you go on espn.com, X is one of the top three players for Sunday!

neil

It's got to give some confidence to this team to win on the road. (or for that matter, anywhere). Let's get some people out to welcome them home on Wednesday. Way to go, X!!!!!

Have not and will not...

neil

Don't effin quit!

If I couldn't sleep last night I wonder how the coaches and players felt. It just seems like we make key mistakes at the wrong times. Make foul shots Box out on opposing foul shots Get the ball in bounds With limited size and depth we continue to play just enough to lose. Nik is not always thinking ...

neil

I agree with it is not Joe's fault. His contract ends after next year. I hope Thorr doesn't quit on him. Joe could be 0 for 24 at that point. A change for a new coach might push recruiting even further behind. Thorr might be between a rock and a hard place to make that decision.

Some thoughts from Sunday at Mohegan: 1. Sparse crowd, and that's an understatement. Kudos to the Ram fans who were there. 2. Unbelievable enthusiasm from the bench the entire game, after a time out there were players racing on to the floor to pump up the players. Everyone seems to be on the same pa...

neil

Knowing the background that Hurley came from, he would have only played with four (Hoosiers)rather than let Nik get in the game.

First game of my doubleheader -football. Quite an interesting day, in 1970, I went up to unh and the rams lost 59-7, other than that this was so unbelievably embarassing. The football team probably won't win a game next year either. Anyway, I was extremely proud of the effort we put in against OSU. ...

neil

Given the choice, I'd pick PC. I guess when the state snubbed uri back in the '70's it always gave me the idea that we were second class citizens. I am indifferent to Umass, basically rooting for the a-10. My biggest hate is Uconn. I find their fans to be elitists, and will snubb their own team when...

neil

I'll be there, but I will take in the football game first. I wonder if Vegas has odds on us winning them both.

neil

I think he needs one break through game when he realizes he can compete at this level. It would be beyond my imagination if it occurred on Saturday.

neil

For what it's worth, Central beat Umass fairly convincingly last night.

neil

Especially looking at the other schools who were in the running...great news!

neil

Yes, it is going to be a long year. Liked the fact that X stepped up last night. Good for his confidence after the opening game, and he did it against an ACC team. Powell's shot - doesn't he appear to fall back? Aaman - I was wrong about him. I thought he might disappear next year at the end of the ...

neil

Sorry for the late response. My post this morning did not go through. Excellent insights by all. I thought we played a very good first half with only two turnovers (when was the last time that happened). The Spartans, were certainly not perfect, but played fairly good man to man against us. These ar...

neil

Even an old man(63 year old) like myself is excited. It would be nice to see 5000 others standing with us at 7:30.

neil

I'm not a betting person, but I have hunch that we will not be a team that gets blown out alot - coaches will make sure of that.

neil

History of warmups, - when I was at uri in the '60's, the team had pants and two warm up jackets that they wore at the same time. - one longsleeves, and the other (help me Rod) was a short sleeve. For my 40th birthday, my wife called the athletic department and got me the long sleeve warm up (it was...

neil

Coach O'Connor will not be back next year as coach of the Rams. Major handwriting on the wall with back to back losing seasons, especially losing the last two combined 10-0. Let's get someone who can turn this program back to where it was, especially under Bradley.

neil

1. 11-18
2. 6-10
3. 1-1
4. uri 61-57
5. 16.66 - Munford

neil

Outstanding! Much more depth in our backcourt. Now if we get some news about Big O...

neil

Afte.r reading the article, I get why the entire team runs over to a team mate who might be hurt

neil

Rod, I'm in 205 row E - seat 18 - stop by if you get a chance!

neil

All weekend I "could not" get on the chatboard. Hate my lack of computer skills. Agree with all of the posts. The team played with discipline and got some good looks from the offensive sets. Hare seemed to get more relaxed and into it as the game went on. I liked Bigby's intensity. He will...

neil

Congrats JMCK - Dinno hit a couple of foul shots at the end of the game!

neil

Tempered expectations? Well, if you want to go by wins, fine. In all the years I've been on this board, there have been some who come on board and preach mediocrity. Could be because they are satisfied with that, or they don't want to be upstaged by our neighbors to the North. This is my 52nd year r...

neil

When Keaney closed down for the last time, I ran a contest on the chatboard, and the winner got a gift certificate to George's. The winner predicted who would score the last Ram points at Keaney, anyone remember? Go Rhody!

neil

Fans should also stand when the players take the floor.

neil

Can't add too much more than what has been said. Practice IS all business, cutting and moving, screening, - no simple layup drills. When he gets the team together, they all stand at midcourt - it seems like they stand in the same place every time, and all eyes are on him. Lots of togetherness and te...

neil

I'm there!

neil

Good point Law about Ohio State. They play Marquette in Charleston, S.C. (neutral site) for their opening game. Looking for an OSU win, to keep their top ten ranking when they arrive in New England.

neil

Hoping that they will be practicing Saturday morning before the noon football game - don't need to watch a scrimmage, a practice would be fine.

neil

umass has an early game with the Friars. It will be interesting to see if they can keep their momentum from last year.

neil

I will continue to go to the games, but I don't think they will get a W.
Add one more fact - they have never been ahead of their opponent.

neil

Great excitement, it would be nice if this translated to at least 3000 people for the first exhibition game. Can't wait to watch the players but also the coaches and how supportive the bench/team unity is.

neil

Good thread! When yout think about who the leading scorer on the team might be, it would be nice if it came from the two guard. Both Malone and X have the potential to add points. Hopefully, we will have a defense/press that will force turnovers into points. Howard Smith seems to be the last person ...

neil

Norfolk lost four of five starters and Loyola returns four from a very good team. Does this guy do any research - at least switch the results of those two games.

neil

I've been to most of the games and agree with 15, I wish him the best, but I don't think his name will be called.

neil

welcome a"board"!!!

neil

Good thread, Mbang, you were right on the money. If they win either one of the Mohegan games, there will be a rush on tickets. I agree with some that many students don't know the Hurley's. The press conference was a good example. There were more "chatboarders" there than students. Go Rhody!

neil

They played better but certainly not good enough to win. Too many penalties, offensive pass intereference, bad snaps. The defense had their best game but could not sack the quarterback. Brown had zero turnovers and we had a crucial one giving up the ball on our own 22 yard line. There ARE people tha...
