Draft in 45 minutes!! Ugh I hate that Yahoo thinks anyone wants their times in Pacific rather than Eastern. I wonder if our Dear Commish was aware the draft was going to start at 11:30p. I'm hoping it does because I have another draft at 8. Shit, my bad guys. I didn't. Sorry for the absolutely terr...

BleedBlue87

It is happening. I have one other person who will fill the spot from outside KB. But if anyone wants the spot, let me know ASAP.

Send me your email in a pm and I will transfer Mosi's team to you.

With the new teams I am just going to turn off keeper's. We were going to try it this year but we continually have people join and drop each year. I do have one more sport for the league if anyone wants in. Again, it's just for fun. No cost but you could win a Dunkin Donuts gift card! Should try an...

ATP, sent you the link in a PM. Billyboy, going to do the same for you. Someone dropped so I will give you their spot.

If we get one more additional person I'll move the league from 12 to 14 people. I don't see an issue with that.

BleedBlue87

Ok folks, it's that time of the year again! It's fantasy football time. I sent all those who played last year a message in the Yahoo fantasy app. Please let me know ASAP if you are in. A couple of things. Last year I forgot to turn the Keeper option on. We've had it in the past so I reenabled it for...

Also thinking of seeing if I can buy a message board license for that book

Is having yet another thread of "Cox's coaching" on this board really necessary? This has been discussed at length, everyone knows where each other stand. At the end of the day, it's make or break for him this season. Let's see how it turns out.

BleedBlue87

I think we will be competitive. There will be some growing pains as we figure out how to play minus fatts. No idea where we will land at the end of the day.

BleedBlue87

Got a laugh this week when I received an email from Providence College Athletics. It featured its upcoming home game with URI and promoted guaranteeing tickets to it by buying a season ticket package. PC Email.png Funny since a vocal group of PC fans always say the annual URI game doesn't matter. I...

Gonzaga is a high major team in a mid major league. Literally zero of the National media will refer to Gonzaga as a mid major. People on this board are trying to claim them as a mid major for some odd weird reason just because Rhody is mid major program and we want to somehow relate to them? I don’...

He will quickly understand how important hoops is to URI. The foundation will be the first to show the direct correlation between increases in fundraising and basketball success. He doesn't need to know much about D1 athletics himself, just needs to put his trust in the right people.

BleedBlue87

Looking forward to getting back in the building!

BleedBlue87

Penny loosing three players at Memphis. Odd to me coming off the NIT championship run. But than again, this new transfer reality is odd.

BleedBlue87

Solid core for next year. The big question is how it all comes together. I'm interested in how not having Fatts as the main offensive go-to will change things. Does someone emerge has the alpha or do we end up with a more balanced approach?

BleedBlue87

I love Fatts. I appreciate his four years here. But if he is going to do a 5th year, I'm glad it would be somewhere else. I think it's time to build around some new pieces, and another year of Fatts being the main star would stunt that growth.

BleedBlue87

I don't know what's more exciting. Selection Sunday or the start of transfer season?

BleedBlue87

Does anyone have a recent comparison on how URI compares to the rest of the A10 in MBB spending?

UConn has just seen enough evidence in three years to extend Hurley’s contract through 2027. But somehow some people here believe three years is not enough time to know you should walk away from a coach. There is a difference between firing and extending a contract through three seasons. I would ho...

I could care less that it's only been 3 years that Cox has been HC. It's what is happening HERE that matters. Each situation is different. Almost everyone here knows deep down, that we will stink again next season. Tons of evidence indicates that. So why prolong the agony? Because it's not realisti...

BleedBlue87

I wish we could lock this thread. He is here for next year. Getting rid of him right now would have actual negative effects on the program overall because every agent is going to warn their client about a 3-year chopping block at URI. This isn't some blue blood program folks. Let's be realistic. Th...

If he padded the schedule with cupcakes and got those wins, half the people who complain on this board would be talking about how great the team is. They would say Northeastern plays hard and just because they are in the Colonial, that doesn't matter, etc, etc. They can deny it, but I truly think ha...

I am looking forward to Fordham once again invest nothing in their program and hire a new head coach to put a Band-Aid on something that needs stitches.

BleedBlue87

Where are the idiots who said “10-7, book it.” Some people are so clueless. That was me. I am not clueless. This should have been a win, freakin sucks. You are extremely clueless when you said “book it” with this team winning 4 straight being 10-7. It shows you really haven’t been watching this tea...

BleedBlue87

Disgusting. Come on Cox. No excuse for that.

BleedBlue87

They got absolutely lazy with the lead. Unreal

BleedBlue87

Other than Carey, I like what I am seeing. I'm actually enjoying watching it.

BleedBlue87

Fatts looking really comfortable out there. I haven't seen him look like this all year.

Great points Blueman. When is the next president taking office in Kingston? The search committee has been going for a few months now. Dooley is planning to leave in June 2021.

BleedBlue87

I think we're potentially at a very interesting crossroads for URI athletics coming up. Notice I said interesting and not good or bad, and it might be a good time to take stock of our recent history, where we are now, and possibly the future of the athletic department. In the coming days I'm planni...

BleedBlue87

I mentioned this is another thread, money just doesn't appear out of thin air. You need to have the alumni base to support it. Other than a handful of folks, URI just hasn't had that. I think that will change in the future. This university is night and day different from when Dooley first arrived. Y...

BleedBlue87

This "we could have kept DH" story is nonsense. Wasn't going to happen. The resources UConn could provide is something URI just doesn't have. It is a bigger school with a bigger alumni base to provide those resources. It's not in the cards in the moment. That being said, Dooley has built t...

KB got a mention on twitter Put our money where our mouths are? What does that even mean? Do they want me to bet on the games or do they want me to quit my job, attend URI again, join the team as a 5 10' 47 year-old 2 guard and prove myself? I have 4 years of eligibility, I think. I think it means ...

BleedBlue87

Crazy what happens when you limit turnovers!

BleedBlue87

There is a piece of me that wants to cut Cox slack because of all the transfers on top of the pandemic. There is also a piece of me that sees the same mistakes every game and ask myself what the coach is doing about it because there is no improvement.

BleedBlue87

I'm on the Ish over Carey train for minutes. Carey needs to earn those minutes and he hadn't.

BleedBlue87

No improvement on the issues that have plagued us the last few games.

BleedBlue87

Playing stupid and lazy. Terrible. Get on em coach!

Ah yes, the Jim Baron, "I told my guys to make the buckets but they didn't listen to me" defense. Always a classic Cox isn’t saying that I am. I’d give any coach the same benefit of the doubt for a team with 8 new faces. People here somehow thought Cox would make a 75% new roster gel with...
