Re: URI Should go private

Years ago, mid 70's, UVM did something along the lines of going private and that resulted in them dropping football. The quarterback was considered a very good player and ended up at Brown (Bob Bateman). Today, UVM describes itself as a quasi state school, getting 13% of its budget from the state.

Re: A-10. 1-0

That last play with Craft was clearly a no call. He just barreled in and was hoping for contact. One Dayton player was clearly trying to get out of his way.

Re: Game #30: vs Richmond - Sat March 1, 2pm OSN/SNY

RR02 brings up some good points. I graduated in 83 and played in a lot of pick up games at Keaney and Boon St. with varsity players. I also played with a lot of football players. That interaction made me want to go to the games even more.

Re: Mike Aaman - Victim of alleged assault in Narragansett

I started at URI in the fall of 1979 with the drinking age of 18. That was also the year of the professors strike. I believe the strike lasted a little over a week.
