If Fatts is a poor shooter, can he become a good one? We do have coaches that might be able to find faults to help him improve. I hope we just don't tell him to go out and "shoot your way out of the slump" or is Fatts too stubborn to listen. Ram rooters are anxious to know.

neil

Have not posted in awhile. The warm ups are an absolute embarrassment. We don't need a dunking contest. What happens if someone gets hurt. How does Coach explain that. It should stop now. I'm really old school. Get some more balls out there and practice the shots you would take during the game. Too ...

Congratulations Stan! A most deserving honor to one of my all time favorite rams.

neil

Will be there to say goodbye.

neil

Red, hate to see you go! I sometimes mention that I travel an hour and a half each way to Kingston. Let it be known that Red travels further than that. Stay well and enjoy life! Have not and will not quit...that ram fan

neil

Have six family members with me today. Win one lose one through the first seven games. Time for a streak. Let’s make some noise!

neil

Figures- beat the crap out of them. Maybe their field will not be”playable”

neil

Worst case scenario- no press box so we get to travel to at large UConn.

neil

What I meant about three ncaa teams were our three this year in basketball, soccer and hopefully football.

neil

Great win! Can we get three teams in the ncaa tournament? Dare to dream! I read many years ago that you can’t host a game
Unless you have a press box. Please tell me I’m wrong. Go Rhody!

neil

1. 18-12
2. 11-7
3. 67.80
4. Fatts - 16.4
5. 5913

I think people will be pleasantly surprised with tomorrow’s attendance. There were around 4000 for Pace for an exhibition. People are still on the band wagon. I’m guessing over six.

neil

Looking for Richter to have a big game Friday. Team came through to give him another game. Go Rhody!

neil

I have seen the rams four times this year. The two home games, Harvard, and sitting with them at a uri soccer game in mid August. At the soccer game, a large number of players came and were in positive spirits, some cheering and others talking about their futures ie NFL draft. It appeared to me that...

neil

I will be there!

neil

Great crowd, east side just about filled. No punts in the first half. When was the last time that happened. Highlight of my afternoon when we were up big, a guy yelled I must be dreaming. Huskies better be careful.

neil

Great win! Reminds me of my freshman year in 67 when they opened on the road with a victory over Delaware and followed it with a win at brown. The third game was home against unh, and another win with hall of famer Larry caswell at quarterback. The team went 6-2 and 1. Just like basketball, I expect...

neil

Thanks! Can’t wait!

neil

Kudos to the baseball team for their 11th straight win putting them at 500 for the season in the A-10. No quit in this team. Congrats to the coaches and players. - on to Dayton!

neil

Hopefully we will get more home games. Scheduling a couple of exhibition games is not acceptable.

neil

Impossible to watch just once!

neil

Will there be a ram tonight on “shining moment”? Rooting for fatts and the steal and three. (I know, too long)

neil

Dear Dan, Sorry to see you go. Today you will have your first press conference at Storrs. Remember your first in Kingston? I do. I cut out of work and drove the hour and a half to see it. Not a lot of people there, maybe a hundred. Did you notice when the team walked in? Billy baron was emotionally ...

neil

Agree with you, Iggy!

neil

Some reporters just look at the money, school history, Calhoun influence. They don’t see loyalty, dedication, honesty and family. I have hated the huskies since the early sixties. I have known their boorish fans for just as long. They don’t deserve our coach because they can’t see beyond the dollar....

neil

Ct- could not have said it better!

neil

Thank you blue man!

neil

Proud to be a part of the ram family in Pittsburgh today. Quite a battle! Nice to see us make foul shots at crunch time. Beat Duke!

neil

Schedule is fine on the 16th. Gives the youngsters a chance to get some experience.

neil

Just got back from the tournament. Great weekend of basketball. THE highlight were the fans. We sometimes talk about how some of the major schools “travel well”You can add our school to the list. Enthusiastic and loud we dominated the last two games and held our own in the first. There is nothing li...

Just got back from Washington to see hurley’s name all over the sports section. I really don’t think he is going to uconn. The thread has given some legitimate reasons why. I will add one more. He is a Hurley. He comes from a family where honesty and loyalty are extremely important. His father spent...

neil

Rooting for the flyers. Lots of Virginia com fans there. Heading down to Washington tonight.

neil

I would go back to the early 80’s to Pappy Owens as one of the top shooting guards. Pappy was six four, lead the team in scoring and rebounding and basically could play any position. He played on some poor teams and was probably focused on by the opposition. On his senior night, we were playing temp...

And spelling

neil

Sorry for the lack of paragraphs

Neil - hope you don't mind, but I edited paragraph breaks into your post to make it a little easier to read. Great job, as always!

neil

I tried to remember if there was a senior night with five or more players. The only one I came up with was 2004-2005 where there were six, Kalapos, Wise, Brooks, Hazelton, Dawan, and Momplaisir. (Not sure if I’m right). The five we honor on Tuesday go way beyond that group. As of them contributed si...

neil

Tears of joy!

neil

Wow what a second half. Until tonight I have never seen my team cut down the net in the state of Rhode Island with confetti coming down from the rafters. It was worth the wait. See you Tuesday.

neil

Hurley always likes to thank the fans. Well it goes beyond that. It goes to their leader EZ. Buckets gets the arena motivated. Buckets makes the arena come alive. On senior night they honor players, managers, band members, cheerleaders and rammettes. For the powers who run the show, there should be ...

neil

Forty eight years ago, I was a junior at URI. St. Johns came into Kingston on a week day in early February. It was the day before the start of second semester. Raining all day the roof began to leak during the first half with numerous interruptions ( near the foul line of the east basket), until fin...

neil

Agree with Mob, beat them and go home!

neil

He will definitely start. One would think that there won’t be much difference in the amount of applause each one will receive. It reflects the team concept that dan prides himself on.

neil

Three Tennessee teams and us in the same bracket?

neil

Go to the game! It doesn't get much better than this. Dream seasons do not come along every year. I went to every home game between 1981 and 1984 when the team lost twenty games each year. There were probably no more than 50 students on the keaney stage supporting the team. Now I go and watch a top ...

neil

Going back to rf’s post, I wonder if we win tonight will it be the earliest the team has won 20 games. Go rams!

neil

I’ve been rooting for a really long time but I have never seen anything like this. Enjoy every minute, article, rankings, etc. Every game someone always steps up. Keep dreaming and believing!

neil

Great post 105! This team deserves some special sounds. They are effin amazing!

neil

In the sixties you had to win the yankee conference. Calverley had 2 ncaa appearances, both yc winners. There were many at larges, with temple and Xavier winning the conference. Silk’s team lost three times to the owls but were certainly deserving of going to the dance. Wishing rod was here to clean...

neil

With this magical run so far, there are different sounds than we've not experienced before. I was eating breakfast Saturday morning at my favorite place in Wakefield, and there were a number of booths talking ram basketball. The night before at a restaurant in Westerly, the same thing. Sounds of &qu...
