Price is good enough to help get you to the postseason...

Once there, he needs to watch from the bullpen or dugout......

He was never clutch.....I was glad the Yankees never had an interest in him.....

The Red Sox have found that out now.....

rambone 78

I think a lot of people had the Sox in the WS already....you have to play the games...they could still get there, but have to do a 180 in a hurry......

Price? Well, the price was wrong......

rambone 78

Deep hole down 2......with Bucholtz starting game 3, be nervous Sox fans......be very nervous..... They get the good Bucholtz, they stay alive, the bad Bucholtz, they're toast like Trump....... I think most people figured the Sox were the better team going in...well the better team doesn't always wi...

rambone 78

Brady will likely be a little rusty this week but won't matter against the Brownies.......

rambone 78

If that was Belicheck coaching the Giants those players would be sitting for a while.....actually that stuff would never happen, you never see Pats players doing cheap shit like that....cost them the game against a clearly inferior team.... I thought that this stuff would end once Coughlin left...gu...

rambone 78

I guess they need Mroz back to be able to throw the ball effectively.

Maybe have a chance to win a couple more, if he can play?

rambone 78

Ha ha Ramulous......we have zero chance with this guy...anyway we will need to expand the roster to 20, to accommodate all the PG's that Dan is recruiting...... Seriously, we need wing players, and more size in a couple of years to replace this current class of freshmen, who will obviously all leave...

rambone 78

URI's only chance to win a game lies with winning a high scoring game, since their defense couldn't stop me.

If Fleming goes back to McKoy, forget it.

rambone 78

Stupid mistakes. Non existent defense.

Won't win one game this year if it continues.

The offense is getting better, but of course another QB injury short circuits that.

Brown by 12? Sounds like easy money......for Brown backers......

rambone 78

It's nice that recruits are coming here due to expectations.

However, if those expectations aren't met, then that goes out the window in the future.

People are expecting Rhody to finally become relevant.

Do it, and they will continue to come.......

rambone 78

RR2, what it means is that there aren't any excuses left. Produce. Win. Dance. No more talk. Results. A URI team, as far as I know, has NEVER been picked preseason top 25. We've ended up there, but that's after overachieving in the NCAA tourney. If the talent is as good as hyped, and the coaching fo...

rambone 78

I don't think the QB is the problem.

It's the guy who insists on playing him, in spite of the fact he can't throw the ball a lick.

Maybe he's got pictures.....

rambone 78

#1 class, and what has changed? I know they're freshmen, but some improvement please? Will it matter if we get a couple more top recruiting classes? Will it show on the field? Will they be "coached up" enough to matter? Coaching does matter in football. Big time. You need the whole package...

rambone 78

ramster, URI pays Fleming and his staff nothing compared to what most others in the CAA are making. I've said this before. You get what you pay for. Fleming makes assistant coach money in that regard. His assistants make little more than water boy money. That's a big part of the issues here. There's...

rambone 78

Stowers was a proven winner when he came to Kingston. For some reason though, his teams forgot to play defense after a while...... We don't have anybody near his level coaching this team now. Even though guys like ramster aren't ready to give up on Fleming, imo the jury is about to read the verdict ...

rambone 78

If this "team" wins a game this season it will be a monumental upset.

0-11

Enjoy.

rambone 78

Fleming=overmatched

Sorry but the results speak for themselves......

We might be bad but at least we should be disciplined........

rambone 78

Pathetic.........

Thorr and Dooley fiddle while their football program burns........

Maybe they move it down to club level......

rambone 78

ramster, the Yankees should have been ahead by 6 runs instead of 3. They beat themselves. Girardi is an idiot. Betances arm is falling off, and he brings him in anyway. This is what happens when you let Chapman and Miller go. It was going to bite them at some point. Although if Girardi didn't bring ...

rambone 78

And we certainly don't have better players. Actually, maybe a few good ones, but nowhere near enough. We have a QB who can't throw the ball as well as a mediocre high school QB. And a coach who insists on playing him. We also have an AD, who yes he's a great guy and everybody loves him, but this foo...

rambone 78

Any solution will requires tons of money. With the flooding problem, the entire field will have to be raised, before any new stands are built. Or should be. Moving the field would cost even more. The admin sure is in no hurry to do any of these things. There has to be a limit on how long this can go...

rambone 78

I agree with Greenwell, I'm in that 3rd group.

Commit, or quit. Give Fleming another year after this one. If there's no sign of improvement, or commitment by the school, then adios amigo.

rambone 78

Maybe so, but if you think Cooley is serious about URI beating PC you're nutso.

Why would a coach of any team say that?

That's Cooley being Cooley. He wants us to be overconfident. Which is pretty strange for a program that hasn't beat them in like forever.

rambone 78

The status quo is a joke. Thorr knows it too, but he'll never admit it. He tried to put lipstick on a pig by hiring a staff who would work for peanuts compared to what other CAA schools are paying their staffs, hoping against hope that they would make us at least competitive. So we have new grass fi...

rambone 78

URI wants to have a competitive football program [meaning winning at least a few games per season?] Pay to play. That sums it up perfectly. Hire a proven staff, PAY them accordingly, and start improving the facilities SOON. Commitment. What was done for BB, has to be done for football. Or just stop ...

rambone 78

We have a QB who can not throw the ball. Sooner or later, he'll get hurt and Vaccaro will have to play. If he's worse, then this team will be lucky to win 2 games. It's obvious, to me anyway, that the admin is waiting to see solid improvement before they commit to any major upgrades. By the looks of...

rambone 78

RIP Milan's dad. Sorry for your loss.....

rambone 78

Yup. I think there's a decent chance they get an invite........

rambone 78

It won't take long, with this schedule, to find out just how good we'll be this season. This season should be titled, "The No More Moral Victories Tour". Win most of the close ones, against good teams especially. That's all I'm going to say on this subject until the games are about to star...

rambone 78

P.S. New grass for Meade and practice facility has been done.

It's a start, but not enough yet to move the needle. Not even close.......

rambone 78

I didn't think Fleming was the answer to turning this program around when they hired him. Starting year 3, looks more and more like I was right. I know I'm no expert when it comes to evaluating football coaches either. If URI wants to get serious about getting better at football, they are going to h...

rambone 78

That is what is so discouraging to see. Poor fundamentals=bad coaching. Was never sold on Fleming or his staff. You get what you pay for, which isn't much. 4 wins this year is a major stretch. This is the year, with the supposedly better recruits, that the turnaround was to start. Yeah, sure. How lo...

rambone 78

I would take that prediction all day.....maybe with one more win in the NCAA tourney?

rambone 78

I doubt Rhody will cover 29 points.....but they should be within 44.........

Avoid major injuries to key players, or it's going to be another long season.....

rambone 78

Slight chance.....not likely

rambone 78

I'm going to be slightly optimistic here and say 4 wins. Like PRT said, it's all about the QB. The defense has to be able to stop somebody too, and of course not too many injuries, especially at the QB position. Anything less than 4, and not enough progress is being made. If the recruiting rankings ...

rambone 78

We sure could use a great finisher at the hoop. EC is our best at that, but will he be as good as before, at least early on?

rambone 78

Dan himself has said that making a schedule is one of the hardest things about the job. I would guess in some cases deals are made years in advance. Waiting until the last minute to get good teams to come to the RC, would never work, ever imo. And DH knows that. Scheduling is like recruiting, it nev...

rambone 78

This league schedule sets URI up on a silver platter to make the Dance. Now the tough part. Win the games. My work schedule now allows me to make most night games, although I would have to miss about the first 10 minutes of 7 o'clock starts. Day games are still a no go. Another couple of years for s...

rambone 78

If they are serious about keeping football, DO SOMETHING about the atrocious facilities! Keeping the status quo is not acceptable in my book. Dooley has talked about lights and field turf, a couple years ago. Nothing's been done. No visible plan in place. I won't venture onto those East stands again...

rambone 78

Ali the fighter was probably the best ever until his 3+ year absence from the ring. After he came back, he was slower and couldn't avoid the head shots that added up big time over the rest of his career. Certainly started with the first Frazier bout. I read where Ali really didn't know the proper wa...

rambone 78

We sure have.

Hope we can get him before the big boys swoop in....

rambone 78

Would love to see a verbal real soon from this kid.

rambone 78

With this home OOC schedule, if a 6000 attendance average is to be reached, then they have to win and win early.

No ifs ands or buts.

rambone 78

ramster, people have been overrating the football talent coming in for years. Sort of like Dan when he told us the transfers would be really good, in so many words. Well, now it's time to produce on both the gridiron and the hardwood. We've had enough hollow talk. Get it done. Results are what matte...

rambone 78

Of course there is good talent on this roster, but is even better talent on the way?

An NCAA trip this season could really jump start things toward bringing in more 4 star recruits.

It's great that we are involved with so many already.

rambone 78

Well either the turnaround starts this coming season, or it's time to shitcan the program imo.......

Every year some people say the overall talent level is rising...and then we win one game again......

Hopefully this new QB is the real deal. Show us, please......

rambone 78

Haven't looked it up lately, how many games left to be announced?

rambone 78

Corruption and scandal are the norm when it comes to RI politics.

CT isn't much different.

Everybody has their hand in the cookie jar.

rambone 78

What, there's pressure on Dan to make the Dance this season?

What pressure?
