Agreed! Going to Christmas party instead. Me too. I'll check the score occassionally and watch on dvr. I'd definitely not co-signing either of those lol. I'm not missing the game, I'm just not going to the stabby capital of the northeast in the dark to sit in crap seats and get into it with their f...

I think Rothstein has his guys and his programs that he does this for. Miller he's had the same line since he was at Dayton. Same for Hurley back to Rhody days (not sure if at Wagner).

Usually the URI section is worse than any possible seat in the Ryan Center. This is a good one to be on the couch for.

"Providence quickly regrouped by signing George Mason’s head coach, Kim English. English is the youngest P5/BE coach at just 35 years old. The Friars are basically a glorified A-10 team as last season they had Ed Croswell & Clifton Moore from La Salle & Jared Byrnum from St. Joe’s. This...

I'm not a big fan of DMB's Music, but I did see them live once (back in DC in 2001 or 2 in the old RFK) - they put on a tremendous show.

Blue Man - the Rhody game is at Mohegan not MSG. You’re in the wrong venue!!

D is tough to know as while the D did slack off later, it was with a large advantage. That does need to be addressed. For now, FT shooting and rebounding are bigger concerns.

I do remember some folks not happy with Paige as a color analyst during some of the games. I thought she was fine and seemed to have some marked improvement from one game to the next. This was a couple of years ago.

The one thing that nobody mentioned (well maybe someone did, but I didn't read all 6 pages) was that Rory Stewart was a dnp. Was he hurt or just not going to be part of the rotation?

So great to see the upgrade in talent and loved Zek, Fuchs, and Wright's games. 9 dimes! Foumena needs to obviously work on his FTs as he'll get to the line often I'm sure. Obviously a couple of hiccups in a first game, like allowing them nearly back in it after going up 19 to have them cut the lead...

The final design will be unveiled in the future. What was shown is a basic 3d modeling concept. Most they can do is 6-7 row bleachers at the end zones. Better then nothing I suppose. Also room to beef up the east side. Exactly. The 20 year old design is better developed because it was hoped to be j...

On coaches, remember that on two occasions we elevated assistants without head coaching experience to the top job. That is not a typical route for major players in MBB, let alone doing it twice. To partially counter that, we did this on 3 occassions (nearly 4 - if it weren't for Harrick, we likely ...

My completely arbitrary prediction that I hope I lose because I am underestimating the team.

1. 17-14

I’m all for Charleston, so long as other leave/forced out (which most likely won’t happen) Can’t have a “super conference” that isn’t good.

Granted with Hurley we didn't have all the program investments/enhancements in place, but still once UConn came calling, he would have been gone regardless.

Delusional? We are paying him $2M+ a year. We should have kept Cox for $350K and we would be in the same place?

As maligned as Carey is by some on here, I am flummoxed that he hasn't found a spot. He's good enough to be a significant contributor on many rosters, including our own. Maybe he's simply done and if that's his choice, I can certainly respect that.
