NCAA is going to a 16-team PBS playoff
What a waste of time, no way any team ranked over #6 could win the Championship

This is what URI should be thinking of doing, in a new location. Put a track in at Meade.

I saw
Gerry Rubin, Bernadette Devon, Yablonski not Joseph but maybe his son, and Rod Serling. I saw maybe Abbie Hoffman around 1985 in Edwards Hall, can anyone substantiate that?

There are schools that should not be in FBS and move down to the FCS.
I can think of UMass,any others?

Sitting next to a bunch of PC middle-aged fans, all game long they got up to get beers, and then spill their beer all over so everyone's jackets get soaked. They must have thought they were at the Dunk.

I wonder what the football budget is at Holy Cross
I think about $30 million for all sports

OBRAM

We had a better CAA record than Delaware. So if Delaware's in-conference losses don't matter, our losses to W&M and UNH by one play should not matter. If you are going to pick 5 from the CAA you pick us.
I think the fact that Delaware will get 16,000 fans was the deciding factor.

I like when the State spends money on URI facilities, but I think this Bonding process is flawed. Rates have shot up, and the total cost is going up very fast. The State Budget in 20 years has gone from $3 Billion to $13 Billion. Where is all this money going? How much State bonding is still being p...

I heard this on one of the talk radios this week.
The reason RI can put up tolls on highways funded mostly by Federal money is that the Fed allows tolls on bridges.
The RI tolls are including highway overpasses as bridges, for me a stretch.

Is this true?

OBRAM

My personal feeling is that the State will be in a very bad financial area soon like it was in January 2020 before the Feds started dumping money everywhere. If they have to pay back the tolls that will be a $100 million hit. Just think if Eloza put $1 billion of borrowed money into the stock market...

Acme Metal Roofs Center. How can this Dunk after being completely remodeled 14 years ago need a new roof, which I believe has already received funding from the State of over $8 million? To quote a Projo Article when the Dunk was refurbished 'Not one surface of the old building hasn't been touched an...

I can't get excited about the soccer stadium also. It seems like that will be a hard place to get in and out of, just south of the I-95 Bridge in Pawtucket. I went to a Woosox game in June. I found the city to be clean, and the people very friendly. I didn't see any people sleeping on sidewalks or t...

I doubt the Athletic Bonds would be approved. RIC got bond money for a Performance Center, and it always seems empty to me, but the voters approved that I believe. The State of RI is flush with money and the candy store is open to 11 PM these days. How much money did MdKee spend on vaccination bonus...

Someone told me that Buddy Cianci had a vote harvester. This person would go to the elderly centers, pick up the ballots, and they would open them and only submit the ballots that voted for Buddy. someone says that;s written his book about Buddy. Vote harvesting is legal in RI as far as I know.

I was listening to Lively Experiment on TV State Budget in NH is New Hampshire enacted its FY 2022-2023 biennial budget in June 2021.

The Tidewater Soccer stadium cost has doubled. I think with labor and material cost $150 million could be an accurate figure.
Lucky we built it when we did.

OBRAM

I would say that if we were to build the Ryan Center today the cost would be almost 3 times the original cost and be near $150 million today, assuming you could get the labor and materials to build it.

If one didn't notice, Brown Stadium is perfectly situated so that on one of the shortest days of the year in November, the sun sets directly between the two towers on the West stands. That way, the sun is not in the player's eyes. All Brown Needs to do is a upgrades to bring Brown Stadium up to date...

I looked at the 600+ designs and I don't think many were very creative. The waves on the new plate look like the teeth on a chain saw chain to me.

I think we are in a new era, we don't wish we had a Ryan Center, we have one. The Ryan Center was a dream in 1996 that more than likely would nver come true.

Well, the Dunk (which was fixed up by using State Money and which was said after completed 'Every surface of the Old Dunk has been refurbished' ),needs a new roof.

Maybe we could use truck toll money. After all, it is not the salt and the snowplows that damage the road and the bridges, each bridge I see in need of repairs is full of rust caused by heavy trucks, put a truck toll up on Rt 138.

I think you hit it on the nose on #5. The Business climate is almost last in RI, thanks to many things like the powerful unions.

The state budget has gone from $3.5 Billion to $13 billion in 20 years.

Just food for thought. 28% o...

Why did it take so long for Georgia to put more pressure on the Alabama QB, with blitzes? Georgia didn't do this until the 2nd half, by that time the game was almost over.

I listened to Thorr on the Selection Show. One thing they look at is how teams do against teams in the field. We didn't beat Villanova so we were 0-1. A Umass Victory didn't help much. We needed to beat Villanova, that would have gone a long way. JMU was 0-1 having lost to Villanova, also, CAA didn'...
