So our first game out there will be against FDU or "Mystery Team".

I was going to say the same thing! And - if we win in Arizona we could get another game or 2 on TV.

Don't think there is anything we didn't already know:

Our man Lamar continues to tumble - arrested for a DUI sometime over the last 12 hours.

RhodyNJ

I think we are getting carried away with the SOS (myself included). *Ramble Alert* We all love DH, perhaps we should give him a little benefit of the doubt. While I agree it was probably tough getting teams to come to the RC this season because we are a scary road game for top 25ish schools looking ...

Is that tape or blue "marble" paint between the men's and women's 3-point lines?

RhodyNJ

I agree. I like the simplicity of them but I get the feeling Adidas threw them together at the last second.

RhodyNJ

I'm guessing we will have the same design as last year?
Hopefully they can get them to fit a little better, the "Island" got a little lost once the jerseys were tucked in.

RhodyNJ

GORHODY is tough to top if it is available.

RHDYRAM?
RIHOOPS

RhodyNJ

That sounds great, nothing but good news on this board over the last couple of months.

Maybe there is a simple explanation to this - but why don't we have an outdoor track?

RhodyNJ

TJ left me a voice mail as well. First time I've donated so first call for me. I do not have season tix but did donate after Hurley stayed so they must be calling every ticket holder/donor

RhodyNJ

What about Northeaster or BU? Going more on potential with these two but it would give the A10 presence right in the heart of Boston. They're both large schools with potential to grow their programs (although with little track record to prove this). Would rather one of them over Siena.

RhodyNJ

Hey guys,

I think it has been asked before but what is the best way to donate directly to the bball program (no offense to the other sports).

RhodyNJ

Rod- Ask your sources whether Chris Christie called Hurley . I heard he did call Hurley, but want additional confirmation. Great news all the way around...... I saw that he called Mike Brey from ND to ask advice on the situation as a whole. Not sure what the connection is there or if Brey has any r...

Dan will be on espn radio in ny tomorrow between 7-9am. 98 .7fm for those who can get it.

RhodyNJ

Thorr deserves the credit, now let's get back to talking about hoops

RhodyNJ

Hurley staying! Signing an extension at URI

RhodyNJ

Pernetti Fired

RhodyNJ

As long as you refer to the hoops situation as a cess pool and not the university as a whole I see your point. You have to remember a lot of people are proud of their school no matter what outsiders may think. I graduated from URI but grew up 20 mins from Rutgers and wouldn't call the place a "...

RhodyNJ

I agree Rod - the only thing that would lure Dan is the "Jersey Basketball" aspect. The Hurley's ARE Jersey basketball. I think if he went - it would be because of that over the money.

RhodyNJ

It's gonna be cool when in about 11 months from now we are talking about our first bid since 99 and who and where we are playing. We'll all say, "Man, remember that Rutgers week in April? - what a bunch of non sense that was!" If you look at the history of Rutgers coaches - none of them we...

RhodyNJ

Hearing from my buddies that follow RU closely that their confidence that Pernetti was safe has shifted in the last hour. The outside pressure to can everyone might start to have some effect. The press conference was going to be Pernetti talking about the whole situation so the fact that it was canc...

RhodyNJ

Rod - you're keeping me off the ledge.

RhodyNJ

Bobby is going to be on the Dan Patrick show in a few minutes as well.

One thing that disappoints me is the Hurley's not getting to take a team to the tournament together, that would have been a cool story.

You guys hear any rumors about Bobby leaving Buffalo for Rutgers yet haha?

RhodyNJ

Statement from Dan:

"I am excited for Bobby and the great opportunity he has ahead of him at the University at Buffalo. The last few years we have coached together have been special and I know he is ready for this next step. Buffalo is getting a great coach and an even better person."

RhodyNJ

Do we have any OOC games scheduled for next year at this point?

RhodyNJ

I know the school would hate this but some of the bars DTL should organize some pre-game happy hours with some buses to and from the game. I know a major deterrent for a lot of the Gansett crew is physically having to drive to the games. EDIT - Sorry saw RhodyMob posted this... glad were on the same...

I think part of the problem is that the A10's current deal is with CBS(mostly CBS Sports Net) and they are behind the times of the ESPN3's as far as online/streaming offerings. Not sure when the deal with CBS is up but live sports is a very hot commodity in the cable TV business(the 'Big East' just...

Big 10 won't schedule future games with FCS teams, guess we'll have to go somewhere else for a payday down the road.

RhodyNJ

Ugh you're probably right, the CAA... geesh. If the A10 is a shell of it's formal self and were left with a home slate where our best game is going to be our 6th best game now why not look to join up with the football schools from the Big East (obviously not for football but everything else)? I'd ra...

RhodyNJ

No basis for this idea other than my own thoughts but... The way it's looking the BE7 are staying together, taking Xavier, Butler, St. Louis and possibly 1 or 2 more (2 A10 or 1 A10 and Creighton). That's going to leave the UConn's, Cincy's, USF's with the rest of the BE football schools looking for...

RhodyNJ

I was at the game last weekend in Towson. I can say our effort was outstanding and no one quit til the final whistle. We're just out-matched this year and it's no fault of the players. The "moving to the NEC then not" really put us behind the 8 ball.

I'm as excited for Gil to play next year as I am for any LOI's signed today.

RhodyNJ

I'm a big uni-watch guy too and I agree with you on Paul... So true. However I do appreciate his love of a more classic look. The one negative I've noticed about our new uni's is the "ISLAND" sometimes gets tucked in. Minor complaint, all said and done I really like both the home and away.

2. 7-9
3. 0-1
4. URI 53- UMass 52
5. Malone 12.0

Damn that looks awesome. I know we don't have anything resembling a program now but a lot starts with facilities. With a place like that we would attract more players, coaches, and most importantly paying fans. And that definitely looks like a place I would be proud to say was part of my university.
