How can you be "a former alum"?

UCH21377

What a disaster that year turned out to be. That team was far too talented to end that way; they had NCAA calibre talent.

UCH21377

I learned how to shift gears in an old Ford truck. One time I decided to wind it out and mistakenly shifted from third back to second instead of into fourth. Almost threw myself out the windshield! Anyway, if there is no clutch then you are not really driving a standard. Had a Corvette with a manual...

Intervarsity is a great organization; does lots of really good things. Congrats on your graduation.

I was on the golf course Monday night when my time came up (well at the bar actually). Called in Tuesday and ended up with my same seats. So I suppose TP was right that it was kind of much ado about nothing. Hopefully in 2 years I will have to be much more diligent, due to our on-court success.

If you're buying season tickets, you ARE supporting URI athletics. You buy the tickets, you buy the food, you buy souveniers. It's called BEING A SUPPORTER of the program. Some of us are in survival mode, finacially, and don't have the luxury of massive donations. Our voices at games, our interest ...

UCH21377

TP, perhaps so, but is URI really in a position to mess with the season ticket holder base coming off of 2 single digit win seasons, despite the optimism surrounding next years team?

UCH21377

I cannot imagine my 2 season tickets are so exciting that I could get bumped. But I must admit I will be annoyed if I get bumped and I may not bother renewing my tickets for next year. I liked the old system better where you wrote in your preferences 1 thru 4 and sent them in. I wonder if I will get...

How about Walking Dead at #10! On AMC to boot. Of course I am very familiar with their viewing demographic as i have three 20'ish kids.

UCH21377

I remember most of these too. But then again 1969 was not a random year, at least for those of us who were around back then.

UCH21377

Has anyone heard that Dooley is leaving URI? Heard it was announced at commencement today. Haven't seen it in the news anywhere.

UCH21377

Wooden generally had a huge talent advantage during his tenure at UCLA. That does not mean he wasn't a great coach. He surely was. I don't think Geno should be compared to Wooden but he is an all-time great coach for his sport.

UCH21377

Height is overated. When we were recruiting somebody (maybe the Bull? kid), the kid that ended up at Iowa State (Georges Niang i think) was under the radar, but scoring all the points for the team. Now he is a budding star for Hoiberg at Iowa State. We had a shot at him but he was an undersized powe...

UCH21377

Losing Batts would be a major blow.

UCH21377

I think Rod is 100% correct on this one. I think offensive skills have eroded. There is no midrange game. Travelling is rampant but never called. Same with palming (or whatever they call it now). That being said, the biggest problem is still that the best players leave early, so the teams do not hav...

i was visiting UConn a few weeks ago with my kid and the Huskies were practicing at Gampel.

UCH21377

You could barely tell the two teams apart in warm-ups at the NIT.

UCH21377

Alex went to Prout for a year also, then switched to St Marks for the rest of his HS career. Now that Prout is D2 it may provide a better challenge for the kid, at least for one year.

UCH21377

Maryland may have got themselves into the tourney with that win.

UCH21377

Truepoint, Anquan Bolden cost a 6th round draft choice. Tampa Bay picked up Vincent Jackson last year without spending a fortune. Sorry, but I think they need bigger receivers. Clearly, when you draft where NE does, there are no Megatrons or Julio Jones's available (BTW Atlanta traded up to get him)...

UCH21377

I think I am in the minority here but I think Welker is overated, and a product of Brady, and the offensive scheme. I don't know if Amendola is the answer either. They need some big bodied, down-the-field types of receivers. Boldin may have been a better choice. Too late for that.

UCH21377

Why have 3 divisions in the first place? This is a tiny state. Two divisions are enough. Have D1 and D2, North and South. Two division champs, and then an open state tourney to give the D2 teams a crack at the big boys.

UCH21377

I think the idea of adding southern teams is to keep VCU and Richmond from heading elsewhere. I know they don't have many options, but if Dayton and StL leave the A10, is it really any better than the Colonial if Richmond and VCU join? Sadly, the answer to that question is no. At a minimum, the A10 ...

UCH21377

Jason was a BIG dude. My son and I met him; seemed like a nice kid. Should have been right tackle on the football team.

UCH21377

The Rutgers hoops job is the last one I would want to take. Why take the risk? The probability of success is minimal. Most up-and-comers would wait for a better opportunity. I don't see Hurley going there. No way Shaka goes there.

UCH21377

3 more wins in a row and they are in the hunt, for sure.

UCH21377

Lived in RI and NJ 10+ years each. Both have great places, both have not-so-great. Would live in NJ again if circumstances dictated it (work).

UCH21377

I think the A10 should look to the South, not the West. The MAC treams arn't going anywhere. I cannot imagine a merger with the MVC but anything is possible I guess. The A10 should secure it's southern base by looking at George Mason, Charleston, Davidson, Belmont, schools like that. I think Stony B...

UCH21377

We are not the only school that is looking for bigs. Lasalle started 4 guards today.

UCH21377

Don't be shocked if UConn ends up with the C7 in the new conference for all sports (except football obviously).

UCH21377

Don't know what happened on the above post; my comment about Gampel and UConn somehow got inserted in the middle of Scine20's quote.

UCH21377

I have no idea how people can defend Baron's time at URI. He was the head coach at a school that has arguably the best college basketball facility anywhere in the northeast. That should be enough of a sell to recruits to get them to the level of Xavier most years. That is a bit of a stretch. The Ry...

UCH21377

Versus Dayton URI secured its 7th win of the season matching the win total of last season with six games left to play. Rhody's record now moves to 7-16 and UCH21377 is officially eliminated from contest. BTW, UCH, if the numbers in your username refer to the date of your birth, then Happy Birthday!...

UCH21377

SERIOUSLY - why does Lebron get 3 steps? They make money off the LBJ hype... like Miami will make it out of the east off the idea alone that they need Miami in every series to maximize exposure and revenue. How this relates to us.. Kentucky and UNC being bubble teams. Those teams aren't better than...

UCH21377

Saw that Wilbur Cross team play, back in the day. Soupy was something. There were a bunch of great CT high school players back in those days; funny hardly any (basically none) went to UConn.

UCH21377

Isn't this kid a good golfer too? Might be a better path.

UCH21377

Surprised Putney isn't doing better this year. He looked real good at the Ryan Center last year. Maybe he was just on one of his streaks, but if I recall he could handle well for a big man, and drive as well as shoot the three.

UCH21377

They need receivers, badly. Welker is a great slot reciever but a slot receiver nevertheless. Lloyd is mediocre at best. Look at what Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver is putting out there. Big, strong guys who can go deep and catch in traffic. NE has nobody like that, especially with Gronk out, so its jus...

UCH21377

This would not surprise me, as UConn and Cinci would prefer the basketball tradition the C7 provides, and the reduced travel for all the other sports. If they get an offer from one of the big conferences they can take it. If not they take the C7 deal and try to deal with the football fiasco seperate...

UCH21377

Piazza played in an era where all offensive stats were overblown, and he was a defensive liability in a position where a premium is placed on defense. He was not close to Bench as an overall baseball player. He deserves the HOF but I can understand making him wait a year or two.

UCH21377

The SEC is clearly superior to all other football conferences. There is no debate. They had 6 of the top 10 before the bowls. 4 of them won including the National champs. They've won 5 or 6 National championships in a row. Alabama was lucky to even play in the Championship game and Notre Dame did no...

UCH21377

If UConn cannot get a major conference all-sports invite, would they consider going with the c7 schools for all other sports and try to cut themselves a deal for football only? It's not out of the question. Do they really want to send their soccer, track, baseball, etc, mens and women's teams all ov...

UCH21377

Now the entire Big East football thing may fall apart. Boise not coming, SDSU trying to get back into the Mountain West, Navy reconsidering.
