I started on the projo board with Red, Ramulous, Rod and others. I remember posting around the time of Cat and Tyson. My “have not and will not quit” came from my total dislike of a troll whose goal was to keep us in a total state of mediocrity. I actually dropped off the board for a year because of...

Thanks for remembering!

As I approach year 71 on the planet,my consecutive string of senior nights reaches 52. I do not say this for any sort of bragging rights. I simply love my school and the athletic program. I love acknowledging our seniors, the majority of which matriculate in four years and gladly move on with their ...

Last second tip in by Biruta is fine with me.

Sorry, made a mistake on the year, it was 67-68and the player was Larry Johnson a two guard who played with Stephenson, it was my freshmen year. McGovern was the better all around player. I saw Larry score 40 without the three point line. There were others like Jon Nelson and Kevin Whiting and other...

I agree with you Marty. He deserved more! Best pure shooter that I have seen since ‘65

neil

Jimmy to Ulmer, alley Oop!

neil

It is time for nine! Go get em Rams!

Another minor superstition- when Jeff comes out on the floor for the opening tap, he goes to the “ruckus basket” and jumps to touch the front of the rim. Every game. I’m ready, let’s go!

neil

I can go way back to the mid 60’s and pick Toby Kimball of UConn. Six eight center who beat us too many times. But I would also go with Rivas. Not sure but I think it was the first game with Temple that year ( where is rod when I need him) that the fighting took place. The second was at Kearney. Ele...

Hoping to add number 7 tonight. Along with numerous other reasons, I like our back court with 5 minutes to go. Both offensively and defensively I like our chances. Go Fatts and Jd!!!

neil

It might be nice for the PA announcer on Saturday to honor Fatts by mentioning his 1000 point accomplishment. He deserves it!

Still upset over last night. I tried to remember a ram team that had the fewest players and still did well. There was only one that stood out. The Owens-Garrick team of the late eighties. Owens and Garrick played over thirty five minutes at guard. John Evans and Mergin Sina were the forwards and Bon...

The Senior night when TJ kissed the logo. It told me that we had good players with good hearts. ( and Eric hit the last shot )

One of my top five ram games in over fifty years of rooting is the 65-62 ram win in 1978 in the ri government doesn’t give a damn about us game. The CC was divided in half between Uri and Pc. The three favorite things that came from the win was 1 beating Pc, 2, going to the dance and 3, with under 1...

Red, Larry Johnson and Mike Schane were the starting guards. Malloy played that year on the freshman team and joined with Dwight Tolliver the following season.

neil

Have not done a good job of posting after the passing of Rod so I thought I would go back in time about uri-pc. My first pc game was in 1968. They put a football bleacher on the east side of Keaney to squeeze more people in. Rams won 53-51. I screamed at the friar center tony koski all night. In 197...

neil

I agree that uri-pc is a strong possibility. Too bad it probably won’t be played in South county.

neil

Make sure we introduce the a-10 champ soccer team at half time

neil

Great season and tournament. A lot more soccer to be played!

Way to go Rhody!

Will be there on Saturday. Saw the Davidson game last week. Hoping for the same results.

Kudos to Coach Elliott for his coaching and also scheduling strong non conference opponents. It apparently helped us with A-10 opponents.

neil

My grandson was at Spaulding, great facility. Stay positive and wishing you the best!

neil

I was there too. UConn had a guy broadcast the game from the top row of the bleachers. Build a press box, please!

neil

Thinking of you, hoping all goes well.

Rams open there season at home Friday night against Fairfield. Also, they play UConn at home on Labor Day evening. Time for some pay back!

Let there be lights!!!

It was the south side of Kearney.

Cathy and I were both educators in Glastonbury Connecticut in the late 70’s. She was a physical Ed instructor at the local middle school. Every Friday after school the faculty would play pick up basketball. She would kick our butts. Years later her successful Vermont team came to Keaney for a game p...

Good luck, Tyson! Will be on my feet when umass comes to the Ryan next year.

Few fouls, few turnovers, few missed foul shots, on to Saturday! Go Rhody

A magical afternoon! One item that might have gone lost with all the subplots was Jeff. Even Steve on the post game said “ and Jeff had fourteen. When we needed a big play/basket, Jeff was there. A couple of key hoops when the lead dropped to sixteen (sorry, I go crazy when the lead tends to disappe...

Agree!

Stan will be introduced at half time with the other hall of famers

neil

For all the senior days I have attended one thing is for sure - they come in all shapes and sizes. This year we have a fan favorite and one who struggled to obtain that title. How can you not like Will? A total team player who cares more about the team than any individual success. I suggested back i...

neil

I was in Keaney for the Larry Johnson game. Great shooter, imagine the game with a three point line!

neil

Great win! Will have Senior day post tomorrow. For what it’s worth, I was at Sly’s performance. It was a Saturday afternoon at the CC, Rams lost to Detroit. Go Rhody!

Payback time!

In the video it shows Tyson hitting a three pointer from the corner against the Bonnie’s. It was under a minute when he hit it. The day before the rams beat California at the CIvic center. They were exhausted but held on. The Bonnie’s has the last shot and missed.

neil

Great idea! My first game there was in my freshman year in ‘67 against Saint Anselm. I remember walking down the elephant walk to the gym. It was one of the great pits of the 60’s. In 68 they had an ncaa tournament game there between BC and Bonaventure with bob lanier- capacity crowd equally divided...

Great picture!!

Thanks Matt!

neil

A favor- l am in new York and will miss the game. My 95 year old dad is critically ill. I found out this morning that hass and JT will be at the game. When they are introduced there is absolutely no excuse for an average ovation. Everyone should be on their feet applauding. They have given so many g...

Fan since 61, graduated in 1971 For Rod, I would select John Fultz his favorite from the sixties. For me this task is impossible. All the choices are excellent. I would only add Art Stephenson, class of ‘68. A 6-5 center who still has most of the rebounding records. I was in Kearney when he had 26 r...

neil

Couple of thoughts - Omar might think about transferring. He is not close to playing D 1 defense. He got beat off the dribble every time. Baron deserved a bigger ovation. I will give the fans a pass since he was introduced at the worst possible time. The highlight of the game was Will, not because o...

Seven home games left all of them with the students on campus. Time to make some noise!
