I certainly appreciate the viewpoint of not firing him now and understand it doesn't happen often midseason. However, he's lost this team, we're in a freefall and I don't see any way he survives this at season's end. So if the writing is on the wall, and he's already lost the team, then why let thi...

Tell me where the money is coming from to buy out Cox and pay his replacement the salary a better coach would expect? We don't have a wealthy owner. 300K? If URI can't pay 300K to buyout a coach I will no longer be a season tix holder rat. If I’m the new President I’d be asking why didn’t we have a...

Blueman makes many good points. We can’t appreciate the struggle and challenge that come with Thorr’s job. I’ve also never heard anything other than what a great guy/leader he is. I don’t dispute this. But you can’t just say this is 100% on Cox. Thorr must accept some blame for the near total colla...

I was already firmly in the camp of firing Cox before yesterday’s game, but losing to UMass really disgusted me. I’m not completely sure why, since there have been plenty of ugly losses to be disgusted about. Maybe it’s because of my strong dislike for UMass. If Kellogg was still coach I imagine I’d...

I may also start quoting full song lyrics.

This is embarrassing. Thorr needs to act now!

I agree with most of what Blue Man is getting at. Except: "The big donors should've committed with or without Hurley." The University as a whole has been a low rent operation since I first set foot on campus (approx. 20 years). Why should anyone dump money into this? Would you? Bring back...

Only asking but is this based upon the size of the crowds that show up for the high school vs the middle school? I would think the middle school games are usually early in the day and don’t draw as well. Seems completely silly if the answer is they both draw the same amount of people to campus. I d...

Do we? According to ramster we have x coach that is getting us off to too fast of a start which is hurting us at the end of games. I see the problem as too many bad fouls by our big men. No, what I am saying is for the coach to move the fast starts to the last 6 minutes of the games because that is...

CDC director just said in an interview that over 75% of Covid deaths were people with “at least four comorbidities” and were “unwell to begin with” That's an incredible statistic and means the vast majority of people died with Covid and not because of Covid.

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but I am curious to hear what it is that gives you faith that next season will be our best opportunity to make the tournament? Assuming Shep and El-Amin are the only departures, we'll be losing two starters with no immediate help coming in (as of now). How does ...

After the absolute love-fest witnessed on Twitter last week, celebrating Coach Cox's record through his first 100 games, I'm doubtful he will be fired at the end of this season... Likely will require a total collapse in conference play for Thorr to even consider it. The tweet reminds me of when the ...

Big time PTSD there.

That was the game we wore those sleeved jerseys with pink trim for the pink out.

I just read that the booster will only protect us from Omicron for about 10 weeks. So the expectation is people will need to get boosters every 10 weeks? lol We may as well just give up, if that’s the case, because that ain’t happening.

I have read an awful lot of material on covid from a variety of sites pro vaccine and anti-vaccine and have never seen a number that high (or low). That would be the dream scenario for the pro vaccine stance, and our hospitals would not be where they are now. I think the key is the data I saw is 18...

Someone may be able to correct me on this, but I remember reading that antibody levels from getting covid decrease over time, similar to the effectiveness of the original vaccines, and may only be protective against the same variant. I just read that the booster will only protect us from Omicron fo...

The problem in this country is the very high number of unvaccinated people. 38% or about 120 million people. South Africa and the UK have a much higher percentage of vaccinated, over 80%...... Also not enough people have gotten the booster who are eligible for it, only around 35%.....that is surpri...

I won’t get a booster until my Doctor advises me to get it, based on my antibody levels. Currently, my antibody levels are very high due to being fully vaccinated and recently having COVID.

I find it very puzzling that URI and Brown could not find a suitable replacement date considering the schools are only 30 miles apart and the manner in which the Ivy plays their leagues games (confined to weekends). For one example, URI plays a game on Feb. 12 and next on Feb. 19. Brown plays on Fe...

Roady Jay,
Did you have Delta or Omicron?

I don’t know for sure, it didn’t come up in test results or in conversation with Dr., but I would assume Omicron based on PeterRamTime’s description of it.

Look at South Africa's data right now. Their cases are almost entirely omicron and their cases have been declining very fast over the last few days. Cases grew very fast and are now falling off very fast. Every single report I've heard out of South Africa is that omicron is far less severe than del...

I would favor canceling the entire season over canceling fans attending. I don’t see the entire season getting cancelled. The NCAA tournament makes too much money.
