Made you look.

The Dude

Well he was particularly bad for URI vs. Dayton...AGAIN! I yelled down to Thor and put my brief 2 cents in on replacing him. I'm not expecting anything at all to happen, but one can dream. Pretty sure he has multiple personality disorder. He changed his voice tone 3 times while announcing a free thr...

The Dude

I heard of heckling the visiting team, the visiting coach but never the home PA announcer. :lol: Wish I could be there to see that. Great stuff, LTR! Your post gave me a good belly laugh trying to picture you sitting behind him and yelling corrections at him. Let him have it! :lol: I've been doing ...

The Dude

I see a lot of promise in a number of new guys. I'm also seeing improvement already from the team and some individuals even if it's not yet resulting in wins. As these guys learn their rolls and understand how to maximize their strengths more, I think by the end of the year when the A10 Tournament c...

The Dude

He was definitely an issue at the Stony Brook game. I'm not old enough where I've begun to lose my hearing yet, sadly. Maybe not as bad as the Quinnipiac game, but still pretty bad.

The Dude

With the way things are looking at the moment, no one on this board will likely be even close to picking the correct win total. Haha.
They'll get better as the season goes on, but at the current moment it's hard to see where even 5 wins will come from, let alone 13+.

I am mystified why the Ram band doesn’t play more tho…

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Every once in a long while it happens. Like winning the lottery. Haha.

The Dude

THANK YOU! Yes, Yorke has got to go! I was looking forward to the open scrimmage and sat in my seat and then I heard his voice and groaned. I had almost forgotten about him. ATP and I were at the Quinnipiac game and he was unbelievably awful!!! Neither of us have liked him from day 1 as an announcer...

1. 19-12

The Dude

Braylon, Thomas, and Weston looked impressive! Samb and Tchikou looked like they have nice upside and were solid/decent. Parnell Pierre played ok...nothing flashy, but quietly did his thing. Malik Martin didn't look bad, but didn't look great. Leggett still looks a bit lost from last year. He is str...

The Dude

Jeff Dowtin playing against the Celtics at the moment. Thus far 5 minutes of play and 4 points. He looks sharp and even the announcers on NESN are saying he seems to be the kind of guy that shows up in big moments.

The Dude

Sadly, my grandmother and former secretary for Bob Griffin and URI Football (forget the exact years, late-1970's - early-1980s I think) passed away earlier this week. She was also a URI Alumni. If you were a football player during that time period you probably knew her well. Her and I would attend e...

The Dude

I like the new uniforms! Although it would be nice to have an alternative uniform with Keaney Blue as the dominant color. In Premier League soccer teams have two primary uniforms, but have a 3rd alternative uniform for the times when they play a team with similar colors or just want to change it up ...

The Dude

Boon Street I don’t know about recently but Boon Street would have some high quality pickup games. Back when Steve Mello dominated play there? ;) Hey, Mello had sweet forearm push off. :lol: Used it extensively one time in a spur of the moment 1 on 1 game in Mackel. I forgot I was just suppose to s...

Said from the jump just stick to making content. Having a voice where your opinion matters is something that is earned over time and a result of the community valuing your input; you can’t appoint yourself to that role and jump the line. This guy wanted to shoot the moon: do content, break news, an...

The Dude

Nice night for Tyrese in the summer league. https://twitter.com/HawksFanTV/status/1547055718246879232 I wonder where this was when he was playing for UConn. I think the problem with Tyrese is his defense, but hey, since when do most NBA teams play defense (other than the Celtics, Bucks, & Golde...

Another A10 prediction from the Dayton beat writer. https://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/a-10-offseason-power-ranking-dayton-saint-louis-early-conference-favorites/XBVPJFS42NG25MLZLJK54IBONQ/ My reaction to the Rhody write up.

Oh, I remember alley oops. Air Ulmer...the only way to fly! Dude had some sweet hops.

The Dude

I believe that the opposing league team coaches and fans complained to the A-10 about the treatment they got and the conference office asked URI to move them. Section 104 was right behind the bench and next to the visitor team family and friends Section 103. I realize I'm very late in chiming in on...

The Dude

Bob's son who was an assistant is taking over. My guess is that there won't be much of a drop off or departure in style of play.

The Dude

I've watched a lot of video over the years of high school & prep. school recruits that Rhody has had an interest in and this kid by far has the smoothest stroke I have seen and he's unfazed even when the shot is contested. He's got a little swagger to him as well. I love it! 6' 9" and can h...

The Dude

I'll believe a player is transferring to URI when I see it. Until then it's just noise.

The Dude

I'd be all for Dawan!

The Dude

I don't blame Walker. Actually, I think going to Bryant is a good decision. He can be an impact player on a team & coach that's on the rise and has a good shot to finally play in the NCAA Tournament, which I'm sure is what a lot of guys want to do when they play college basketball. I think he sa...

The Dude

The one thing I can continuously take away from PC is that no matter the talent level, they consistently find a way to underachieve with Cooley as the coach. The whole narrative that everyone was doubting them was complete made up nonsense in my opinion. Personally, I didn't doubt PC had some talent...

The Dude

Not interested In Rick Pitino. The coaches who've dragged their previous institutions through the mud by doing things the wrong way I have no desire to ever see at URI. I'd prefer another Hurley type coach with some integrity, intelligence, & hunger.

The Dude

Based on how the article reads it seems like VCU may have made an honest mistake, but I understand Donaldson wanting facilities to be more conscious of disabled people & to have it top of mind when arranging things. Life is already likely difficult enough for him I imagine. I imagine it was pre...

The Dude

In my opinion, the twins lack some of the mental discipline & fortitude it takes to help a team be great. Part of it is them & part of it is the coach. It affects the guard play as well. When two of your three starters have the wrong mentality and make the wrong decisions on the floor, it hu...

The Dude

Wow this game was a pleasant surprise. I was floored to see a Mitchell twin go 5-6 from the free throw line. Someone ate their Wheaties. Although, I have noticed that during some home games this season the team has tended to shoot better from the 3pt line. Still not seeing much improvement overall f...

The Dude

Who designs these things? Elementary School children? I'm disappointed. Even the anchor logo looks sad.

Whatever, it's just comical at this point.

Go Rhody?

The Dude

I don't understand why in typical old school RI fashion, some consistently gravitate towards the coaches that are corrupt and/or cheat (Harrick, Pitino, etc) as being a good fit or solution for URI. I guess we're that desperate as a fan base? There are other ways to win. In my opinion, it's a matter...

The Dude

For the first year EVER, it's sad to say, but I have no desire to go to the games. I've never felt like that. Even when Baron was coach. It's just tough to watch.

The Dude

One of the most frustrating things, outside of watching a team continue to wallow in mediocrity, is that if Cox is fired we have no idea what recruits like Chance will do. It seems like we're on the verge of getting a solid shooter, but we don't have a coach that can coach well. I don't like the on ...

The Dude

Observations: - Too many fouls (meaning giving too many easy opportunities to opponents to score uncontested points at the line) - Not good at free throws (meaning not able to win close games) - Not good from 3pt (meaning not likely to handle zone defenses or be able to come back in games) I don't s...

The Dude

In my opinion, one of the main reasons that UCONN is losing to PC is because Martin is guarding Reeves, which is a mismatch in PC's favor. Reeves is having a hell of a night because Martin is too slow & can't guard him.

The Dude

I think URI will be lucky if it has a winning record in conference play this year. Free throw % & 3pt % are not good. There's no consistency. I am not seeing week to week improvement from this team, so that leads me to believe it could be the same or even worse than last year. In my opinion, the...

The Dude

What a shame. Gone way too soon.

The Dude

I'll be going & enjoying the games. It will be nice to be back in the Ryan Center to see them play.

The Dude

I like how Walker looked improved last year and as much as I think it would be nice for him to be a starter, I think putting him on the bench could "possibly" up being big positive, "IF" it allows Rhody to keep scoring at a steady pace even when the oppositions lesser players are...

The Dude

I hope Rhody beats the pants off of PC at the Dunk to send a message that no matter where they play, they'll still lose. It's time for Rhody to step up and begin to show some dominance for a while.

The Dude

Kid looks like he's clearly bulking up a bit. His arms look decent & seems he's filling out with some muscle. Doesn't look too thin or lanky like a typical high tall school kid. Some nice shots. He seems to be putting in plenty of work.

The Dude

I like what I saw in the videos. One thing that stands out is not so much the shots that he made (because all kids look good in highlight videos), but the fact he played within himself & didn't try to do too much & took whatever the defense gave him. If they gave him an open look, he shot th...

The Dude

This thread is pointless. It's been a while & still nothing. Happy we have the players we have & hopeful that our new assistant can help improve this team.

The Dude

I like it! Bozeman will hopefully be to this team what the rug was to my room, man. Well, this is it. Do or die for Cox in my opinion. Still has a decent squad. Has a decent assistant. Should now have all the tools to be one of the top teams in the A10. If that doesn't happen, I think that will be i...

The Dude

Looked like the work out of a typical average young, unpolished collegiate basketball player to me. Has plenty of things to work on, but it's good to see he's willing to work on them. Time will tell how things pan out.

The Dude

I thought this was a joke when I heard he declared for the NBA. He's not even close to being good enough. Sad to see these kids getting their heads filled with nonsense. He's not even close to having a skill set of NBA guys like Ryan Gomes & Chris Dunn who were better while at PC than this guy.
