Sean, glad you and your friends weren't effected by that cowardly act of violence. Also, thanks for sharing the facebook event regarding blocking the Westboro Baptist Church from interrupting services in Boston. I, like many others, woke up even more angry than yesterday, and these bozos are not hel...

I'd want Siena, plus one or two of these, especially if it guarantees St. Louis and Dayton remain:

Murray State, Cleveland State, Wichita State.

I'm okay with Davidson, but I like the others better.

Agreed.

steviep - I like your avatar! Can't believe there isn't more love for one of the best logos in all of sports. Even our own board has removed the classy ram logo for the boring interlocking RI. The interlocking RI isn't bad, but I love the ram logo. Thanks Rod and TP. I don't mind the two tone inter...

Hurley plagiarized Cooley with the "brick by brick" line in the projo today. He obviously has no moral compass (Kidding, in case the sarcasm doesn't translate) I know that's sarcasm, but I'm sure about 173,644 different coaches have used that term. Not exactly a new idea. As long as he do...

Awesome. I haven't donated since early in the Baron error.

That's about to change!!

Great quote!

My fiance is a Michigan grad, so she's very excited for tonight. I hope one day in the next decade, we'll be able to share her excitement for the same reason!!!

Until then, Go Blue and Go Rhody!!!!

Sorry, Rod, that you got banned from the PC board. But the moderators of that board just can't rise above pettiness. They couldn't carry the glove of the moderators of this board in terms of being cool and classy. On the Hurley redux, I'm going to wait a bit before celebrating. The Harrick double-t...

@softballscifi: @dhurley15 Coach-loads of rumors about you and Rutgers. Here's hoping they're false. The future at Rhody is bright with you leading the way

Can someone post Donaldson's article? I can't seem to find it on line.

I like the idea that someone else mentioned before...That URI, Bryant, PC, and Brown all play in a round robin tournament and the host site rotates between the Ryan Center and the Dunk every year I have no problem with this. I also have no problem with adding Bryant on a regular basis, especially i...

So basically we're talking about a practice facility for practice versus the actual venue for practices??? I'm not a rocket scientist, but just from a player stand point I'd like practicing in the actual venue better than a practice facility. In practice you want to get as close to simulating a gam...

Or they could do with Xavier and Butler did this year.... play and call it a non conference game. I'd rather do that than have one less game on the schedule.

Great idea, but I'd rather have an A10/New Big East challenge....show them that they can poach our teams, but we're not going down with out a fight!

Can't remember who said it, but a few years ago an opposing coach or announcer said (and I paraphrase), "If you've made it this far (in reference to the Sweet Sixteen), you're no longer a Cinderella." I believe that. If you get to sixteen, you beat someone good. You may not have beaten the...

This from Dan on the assistant opening: "Asked where he'll turn to fill the hole on his staff, Hurley said his phone has been "buzzing off the hook," with candidates wishing to come to Kingston. "It's always hard to replace a good coach but I think with the four kids we have sit...

Quinnepeac is an interesting story. I do feel like they really want to improve their stature in both athletics and academics. Their new arena is gorgeous, although small. You walk in on the upper concourse level and you're on top of a bowl on either side: Basketball on one side, hockey on the other....

steviep123

Agreed....let's fill the Ryan Center on a regular basis first.

steviep123

Any word on Siena? I thought someone had mentioned an announcement was supposed to be today.

Either the last team or last 3 teams don't go to Brooklyn and have four rounds. The same would work for 14 teams with the bottom two not going. With 16 last year, I felt all should go and either have zero buys or do with the big east did with bottom 8 playing in the opening round, then the four winn...

Hurley has put together the best all around staff since I've been following the program. I'm sure he'll do the right thing in reshuffling his staff. These are Dan's guys, not Bobby's. Not the end of the world. Nice snotty ,smug comments on the PC board. One guy had to edit his post because he thoug...

steviep123

I think if Dan is going to lead us to where we hope he will, then he will find a quality replacement for his brother. I'm sure he has plenty of contacts in this world to choose from. This is certainly a great move by Buffalo.

Even WEEI reported it on their SportsFlash. A URI fan who doesn't know EC signed his LOI in November? Wow! I'm not sure how much recruiting Bobby did, anyway. Whenever there was a player to be seen, it was Dan and/or Preston at the scene. Great. Then we all agree. Bobby did nothing and had no impac...

At least we actually got on WEEI... I didn't think they knew any sports existed south of Chestnut Hill.

steviep123

Agreed with all. Especially TP. I'm sure Bobby does a great job for his brother, and if Buffalo does hire him away, then we'll wish him well. If other programs are hiring our assistants away as head coaches, that's a compliment to our team. Granted, I wouldn't expect any of them to be hired away as ...

Buffalo's website says there's a major announcement to come at 5pm:

That doesn't make sense. Why would he not have taken the HC job at Wagner just to go to Buffalo a year later.

Nice - I just sent a tweet to Thorr telling him he's done a great job and I look forward to the future.

I'm okay with Siena and/or Davidson. What I'd really like is to get a written guarantee with Dayton and St. Louis. If they can commit in writing (with stiff penalties for bailing), then I say add a couple of midwest teams. Wichita St (2nd sweet 16 in a few years), Bradley, Cleveland St, Western Ky (...
