I've heard that the last surviving ESPN Zone (s?) is/are at Disney. Maybe you can duck in for some nostalgia nachos and the game.

Puck Frovidence

It's not so much home/away as it is who is broadcasting the game. For example, if Cox was broadcasting an away game then ESPN+ could stream it because their deal is with the A10 and its broadcast partners. ESPN+ can't stream a broadcast from a team/network it doesn't have a deal with. Right exactly...

Puck Frovidence

So....no, then? Nah, it'll be on the Charleston site I posted earlier. AFAIK the deal with ESPN+ is basically that it acts as the exclusive streaming service for your team/league's home games. Other TV broadcasters can carry it, but not other streaming platforms. So basically, if you see a game is ...

Where does everyone purchase their tickets from Highly recommend buying directly from Mohegan Sun box office. I got the exact same tickets over the phone (literally the same seats) and saved over $100 from what Ticketmaster quoted me. Their fees are insane. Also, if you're going with a group (I thi...

Puck Frovidence

Any word on an available stream? Yep, they have a free stream: https://portal.stretchinternet.com/charleston/?DB_OEM_ID=14800 They use Stretch, which is a decent streaming platform (used by a lot of area D3 schools). It incorporates stats/scoreboard into the laptop viewing interface (there is also ...

Puck Frovidence

0-0 27:00 vs Brown right now. Streaming online on ESPN+ and radio on RIU2 (if you're watching the Sox like us).

Puck Frovidence

This event should always be geared towards the students...bottom line. Create something separate for the donors/season ticket holders. Trying to "middle it" with something for both is a surefire way to make it LAME on both ends. It's a really good point. The intersection on the Venn Diagr...

Puck Frovidence

Yeah man, there's already a thread for this with like 1200 views in the "URI Athletics" section. People here like to support all Rhody sports (well, yknow to varying degrees by personal taste), we just keep things organized so it doesn't become a clusterfuck like some other forums (*cough*...

Puck Frovidence

I would pay significantly more than $15 to not have to hear Lil Baby.

Spider-Man tho.

Man these "Power 6" ads are sad.

Puck Frovidence

I don't think RF1 joking around was trying to minimize the seriousness of it, but it is real fucked up there right now that's for sure.

Of course, Merrimack can only play in D1 if the school is still standing by then...

Puck Frovidence

I hear ya. In fact, I'm weirdly pretty sure I've seen RIC gear using the classic Rhody interlocked "RI", but with their colors (red and...yellow/gold?). Maybe if we keep it blue and don't have that marvel comics looking "anchorman" guy we can "franchise" it?

Puck Frovidence

Liked the look of the FB unis tonight. Hoping the MBB unis have a similar theme this year, I like the idea of incorporating the anchor into the design - it's classic RI imagery and has a good "hope" metaphor too.

Puck Frovidence

Pucker-No-there needs to be topics,not less. Myself and a few others have been breathing life into the FB board over the years. You don't like,go follow intramurals or something else in your price bracket. Well, that was a childish and nearly incoherent response to a pretty reasonable suggestion. G...

Puck Frovidence

Do we really need all of these threads for one football game? Basketball games usually only have one thread and occasionally a separate one with the line, and that's for the team that 90%+ of the people are here for... Maybe you could consolidate these into a single game-based thread, it would make ...

Puck Frovidence

This is so great

Puck Frovidence

The concerning part to me is the "scoring margin" and "offensive/defensive" metrics. The margin metric kind of cancels out the strength of schedule a bit, doesn't it? So a top-ranked team can play a crap team, but if they beat them by 50 how would that look in this model vs. pla...

Puck Frovidence

Allow me to paraphrase the comedian Todd Glass when I say: "Oh my god, I totally read about that in "Who Gives A Shit Magazine"!

No seriously, that's so awesome that you got published. No seriously!

Coventry down right now 0-2 to the Midwest team (Des Moines) in the bottom of the 2nd. On ABC 6 in RI.

Puck Frovidence

Deadspin has been a consistent critic of publicly funded stadia deals for privately owned teams. Professional sports teams generally print money faster than they can count it, and even when that isn’t the case (which in the PawSox case it probably isn’t), the owners are obscenely wealthy without ex...

Puck Frovidence

Oh, to be fair though TP - all that being said I am a bit of an Athletic skeptic.

Puck Frovidence

https://deadspin.com/athletic-writer-throws-fit-over-rhode-island-not-giving-1828420094 See, that's kind of a bullshit petty click-take by a Deadspin writer who's not super familiar with the situation. The headline looks good but McDonald is mostly right: the fact is Matiello's proposal was one tha...

Puck Frovidence

Right, I knew that but I'm surprised they wouldn't break you guys off a separate game-only stream for the PC website. For instance, BC sports are on WEEI-AM, and even though the 850 stream stays with the ESPN shows they normally play, the audio is available as a free stand-alone stream on the Eagles...

I've been following this story on and off for the past year or so and honestly to me it looks as though Grebien did a great job trying to make this happen with all the various parties involved.

Puck Frovidence

I'm not a big soccer guy, but if the PawSox skip town I really hope Grebien takes a run at the New England Revolution. They're currently looking for a location for a soccer-only stadium, and the Slater Mill project seems like it could be a great destination. Not as many games, but wayyyy higher atte...

Boston might have an argument considering the number of schools. BC, BU, Northeastern Harvard possibly UMASS, combined? Pretty sure URI is closer to Boston than UMass is? Yep we literally are.

Didn't speak with Pitino OR Pitino reps. Sounds like Thorr calls bullshit on Jersey Joe and the "where there's smoke there's fire" camp

Puck Frovidence

I would also echo the sentiment that "jersey joe"'s explanation of the situation is eminently plausible, and actually accommodates both the notion of Pitino's involvement, and URI's subsequent statements. Being plausible doesn't make it true, but it's at least realistic. Unfortunately it's...

Puck Frovidence

URI almost never sticks its neck out like this to refute shitty reporting, even if a story has tons of half-truths surrounding a kernel of authenticity. You want to know why this isn't a "he said, she said"? Because GoLocal has no name on the story, and will retract/edit/take down the arti...

I think the more likely scenario, if Pitino gets hired, is that Cox follows Hurley to UCONN, and most (if not all) of the recruits are right behind him. Hire Little Ricky and they'll need to add something to the new practice facility -- stripper poles and rooms for the hookers. Omigosh...GREAT take...

I don't doubt Dan considered Pitt (though it would fly in the face of the master conspiracy theory on here that UConn was a settled matter mid-season). Anyone that thinks Pitt was a serious landing spot for Dan and his family does not know/has never talked to his wife. Maybe if they cut out most of...
