Sean, you never fail to show me that you lack class and are not very bright. True point wishes people dead and buildings burnt down because he dislikes a basketball team? but Sean is the one with no class? Quote... I shouldn't say that I would never root for PC. I do root for PC, insofar as I root ...

I don't have a problem with it either way. Coaches are supposed to fire up the players, students and fan base. That along with winning games is what they get paid to do.

Love feet? How did Rex Ryan get into this thread?

The thing is, he actually promotes the one and done and uses it to his advantage. Slimy but legal. It's going to be interesting to see what happens now when he has to blend all these #1 ranked guys who he promised the world, with all of last years #1 guys who he promised the world, but that aren't l...

Oh by the way this also shoots down the theory that the PBruins were against this.

Dunk was originally created by the City of Providence with a Bond issue by Providence residents to replace the RI Auditorium on North Main Street and to the main intention was to have RI Reds hockey. It was created before the Big East. So, to say we would not have the Dunk without PC basketball is ...

Gotta add Bryant to that list after this year, right?

God we are not going to have another 56 page thread on this are we? OB, just because folks don't agree with you on this doesn't mean they are a troll.

No, it does not mean that every time you get a raise your rent goes up, it is more like 'Son you are an adult now and we adopted you 40 years ago but don't you think it is time for you to start cooking your meals, washing your cloths, and paying something toward the housing expenses, or do you expe...

So, why if PC gets $6 million in Revenue, which is going up, only pay $200K a year to play in the Dunk?

So, by this logic, every time you get a raise at work, the rent for your appartment should go up?

Captainron@

There is zero need to have the game at the RC on Sunday. Crowd will fit in alumni. No way more than 3k show up I was actually surprised attendance was so low - ESPN / the AP's box had it at about 4,900. Was this season seen as a disappointment in Providence...? Given how they started, with all the ...

Captainron@

Could be as simple as they didn't want to step on the new conference announcement. Or maybe they can't agree on terms.

Captainron@

TP,every official announcement comes out over the CEO's name. It is going to be very difficult for the new BE to attract non-Catholic institutions because all deals would be cut behind their backs and then agreed upon in their presence. This conference is going to have a public identity issue that ...

I think uk would host. Pee-c would only need the rc if they win and uk loses. But correct me if i'm wrong. Wouldn't it be funny if the last thing thorr does as ad is tell pc to screw. Dude!

The big cheese from MSG will be there too. Word is a 10 year deal

Captainron@

The big question should be what is the payout schedule. UConn and the misfits got a boatload of money, but the payout is over ten years.

Captainron@

No, Kentucky can't play at home due to scheduling issues. Possible PC vs Kentucky at Ryan Center

Captainron@

Alumni Hall is way too small, given that if the game was at the Dunk, it would probably be a sellout. I will say though that the Hall is a nice little arena - went there to cover Prout vs. North Smithfield, good place to watch a game. But I'd guess that the seating capacity is below that of Keaney....

Captainron@

How many people does Alumni Hall hold? Given the way NIT games generally sell and given the fact that the Ryan Center is an overnight trip for most of the Fryuh Faih-weathah Faithful it'll be interesting to see the attendance. Alumni Hall is way too small, given that if the game was at the Dunk, it...

Captainron@

Cordischi not doing his homework again. This isn't a rumor. PC announced it via email to their season ticket holders over a week ago. $10 a seat, general admission.

Captainron@

As for my tagline, would you not agree that at the time the statement was made, the leftovers in what may now be called the America 12 do indeed fit the description? In fact, it's not anti-PC or derogatory towards the real/new basketball Big East at all. It's calling out the fallout of chasing the ...

Captainron@

If PC plays a second round home game, it will be at the Ryan Center due to scheduling conflicts at the Dunk

Captainron@

Rod, UNCW might be down, but they don't tolerate it. They've canned a couple of coaches and ate the money. They are committed, just hasn't worked out in a few

Captainron@

What about UNC Willmington? Not in a good loop right now, but made the NCAAs as recent as 2008. Wife's brother ( from North Providence) is a dean there and up talks the program a lot. Plus a great place for a road trip

Captainron@

The thing is, why is his name brought up at all if be isn't in the process (sorry, bad word). If you were going to make up a rumor on an insider board, why would you pick someone no one over there probably has any clue about? I'm not saying they picked him, but he has to be at least in the discussion

Captainron@

Al is good enough to get you to the Dance every few years, but not advance very often when he gets there. That's what he did at URI, and the same at BC, although he had more resources there, and made the tourney more often. Al didn't get fired at BC because of his basketball record, he got fired be...

Captainron@

Rod, I agree that usually you see things hit twitter, but I don't think the buzz around an AD going from URI to Xavier would make a big blip on the twitter radar, either. I'm just saying, when stuff hits these premium boards occasionally it is from true "insiders" with well placed sources...

Captainron@

It's an interesting take. I know you guys have talked alot about how most of the BE teams carried weak OOC schedules because of their SOS in-conference, so for the Big East and the unnamed conference, obviously that changes. Both conferences will likely be 3-4 bid conferences most years, but they w...

I say try and keep everybody, meaning Butler, X, Dayton, StLouis, break off with 7-8 teams like the C7 [URI included of course], get a much better TV deal in the process, and drop the bottom feeders. Then add a couple of good programs to get to 10 teams. Won't happen , but the best option. Look, fr...

Captainron@

It's not like there are tons of options. This year, you have to let him shoot. Next year, they put the reins on as the options are better

Captainron@

On another note, I feel bad fro Uconn, they got shafted hard in this re-alignment deal. I don't. They did this to themselves. They crucified BC for leaving, burning a major bridge and then tried to do the exact same thing several times but no one was interested. Most of their wounds are self-inflic...

Captainron@

Dont count the Sox out just yet they may be better than some people think I kind of think this as well, just because expectations are so low. Even with basically punting September last year, the Sox finished 8th in the majors in runs scored, so if they get any pitching at all they probably finish a...

a radio sports report, this AM(630 AM folks)had us breaking a "six game loosing streak", rather then winning two in row....... I listen to them in the morning, mostly for traffic and weather and frankly, I'm kind of surprised they even knew there was a game. To paraphrase Bill Parcels, th...

78, you might not be able to give them what you want right away, but you damn sure better show a plan to make the major stuff happen in a timely manner if you want to keep top talent like Hurley. I'm betting they are working on it. But then again this is the state of Rhode Island here

That's what cost Al Skinner his job at BC. Some places you can get away with that, but most places, you have to jump in with both feet and try and move mountains

To put football on an equal basis with Delaware et al, you'd need a major upgrade in that dump of a high school stadium called Meade. Who's going to get that accomplished?
