Watched the Munford play at the end a few more times and it's such a fine line. With the way the game had been called it should have been called. But it was such an overreaction to the contact that instead of drawing the refs attention to the bump it probably made the ref think that the contact was ...

The end certainly sucked, but there's still a lot to like with how the team is playing. Hurley absolutely has pushed the right buttons lately and the team's compete level has been much better, especially these last two games. If they can continue to play like this throughout the league schedule I th...

RhowdyRam02

I think we got hurt by Munford acting a little bit to try and get the call. Could have really used the refs calling the new rules though.

RhowdyRam02

Alright boys, our game now. Let's take it!

BOOM Matthews!

I agree about the Ram logo. Bring it back in some form. It's WAY better than the VCU or Fordham logo. I vote for the Ram Logo to come back, I loved the logo on the old floor, love on hats, but it is hard to find a Navy hat with a Bright Rhody blue Logo on the front. Nothing is wrong with the logo. ...

I think people would wonder why Rutgers changed their school colors if we went to just an R. Everyone knows what RI means though.

If it makes you feel any better Rod, your celebrity doppelganger is infinitely cooler than my two. In college I looked liked McLovin and when I grow a mustache for Movember I look like Rod Farva.

Looking at the box score from last season, Xavier Munford had a big game with 24 points but we also had three other players in double figures. TJ Buchanan had 5 points in 17 minutes. St. Louis was significantly less balanced with 50 of their 80 points coming from Kwamain Mitchell and Cody Ellis, nei...

Everyone's a comedian. Guess if you have a mustache (I've had mine since age 20) you must be gay and look like Freddie Mercury. At least according to Gerry Calahan. Whatever. I guess it's better than Sadaam . So I make a comment saying you look like Freddie Mercury in a picture and you come up with...

Nice! Who knew Freddie Mercury was such a big Rams fan!!!

This seems to be a really good time to take a look at where we've been and take a look at the road ahead. We finished off non conference play on a great high last night and surpassed last year’s win total in the process. We had 4 common opponents from last season, getting a significantly worse outco...

You guys beat Brown. Tonight you beat LSU. If you win on Tuesday that's called a winning streak. It has been done!

Looks to me like LSU 24 came under Biruta and knocked it away.

Pincince was the OC for Elon this past season, but I believe the head coach was fired so who knows what he's up to

Did he tell you why they're his favorite team? That sounds like an odd choice for a Jersey guy.

Bleil worked with Fleming from 05-08 at Akron. He's been an assistant head coach at a couple stops, was the head coach at Western Carolina from 97-01 and was OC at Pacific from 93-95.

One thing I noticed today on the telecast was URI taped up a piece of paper with the picture and name of each ref. Not sure I've seen that before, but most of you probably watch more than me. Is that a normal thing for teams to do and I've just missed it before?

RhowdyRam02

We're linking to Dan Shaughnessy articles now? Good grief. If he's calling UMass moving up a terrible idea I feel more comfortable than ever believing it's not nearly as bad an idea as everyone thinks. P.S. In the future if you could kindly tell people that you're linking to an article from that pie...

I like what the the NCAA is trying to do with the APR, but this seems to be another instance of their enforcement being off. If URI can directly show that most of the APR mess occured under the watch of Baron, why does he get off with no penalties to Canisius? Granted URI should take a hit because i...

The UMass move is called a huge financial disaster by a UMass art professor who opposes the entire athletic department. UMass fans believe the Globe treats them the way we think the ProJo and Channel 10 treat us (neglect except when they can attack us). Here's a different article on the move up and ...

Meh. His defenses did very well at UCF. This year they were 3rd in Points Allowed in the American. In 2012 they were 1st in PA in CUSA and 29th nationally. Sounds great, right? Well in 2011, the year before he was on the UCF staff they were also 1st in PA. How much of their defense the last two year...

I really don't know how you guys do it, and I mean that with a mix of admiration and thinking you guys might be a touch crazy. I try to stay out of the recruitment forum just because I've never liked roller coasters. The two topics I have gotten sucked into were the Terrell one and now this one. I r...

We better not lose to UNH at home. Losing however at Brown would not be a shocker. The Bears will be favored in that game. URI has shown nothing to date which should make anyone confident about beating a somewhat decent team such as Brown on the road. After all, Rhody is struggling just to beat the...

If you're interested in the UMass fans' take go to umasshoops.com. The discussion occurs in the more unhappiness with direction of football program thread, starting on page 32. Needless to say many there don't agree with the article or your conclusions.

I'm still disappointed in the final four list. To me the program is at a crossroads and I feel they need either a coach that has won in the CAA or they need a young coach on the rise who is so energetic that they can overcome the program's shortcomings and losing history. Anything other than that an...

The rumor is Pat Narduzzi turned down the UConn position this morning.

RhowdyRam02

Disgusting. If this is the best four, than why waste the money buying out Trainer? If this is the best four, why aren't we disbanding the program and fielding a hockey team. This is a shit list.

RhowdyRam02

What am I missing? The guy goes 2-20 in 2 seasons at BU and they disband the program after his second season. He goes on to coach 2 seasons at Central Connecticut with a record of 15-6, but no playoff berth. He moves on to Fordham where he may or may not have inherited future NFL QB John Skelton. Hi...

Might not be a bad hire. 51 years old, head coach at Duquesne from 93-04, compiled a record of 97-32, only one losing season and that was his first year. After the 2004 season he became an assistant at Pitt. It seems like he tried to take his shot moving up the ladder hoping to get a head coaching j...

I can't say I know a whole lot about The Kills, but I saw them mentioned in the Detroit thread and this morning I got an email that says they'll be opening for Queens of the Stone Age Friday night at Agganis Arena. Figured I'd pass the info along if anyone else was interested.

Hey,We don't need the typical hire!!! We need to go with a guy who took a program out of a hole!!! We are in a HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vasey is THE guy!!!!! With all due respect, this is exactly the kind of post that has me really suspicious of Vasey. You say we, but you joined the board Wednesday night ...

Rhowdy-those are some good names. Did you send them to Thorr? I would be happy to,if you would like. Better late than never. Vasey appears to know/recruit talent(looking at their website),if RI HS coaches like him. Most HS coaches probably would. It will be tough to go straight hire from JuCo to FC...

RhowdyRam02

I'm surprised how many people seem to think Vasey should be the guy. He's got a good record at Dean, but does anyone here really know enough about Dean College, the Northeast Football Conference and their big rivals like Nassau County Community College to know how good of a job he's doing? Maybe Dea...

James Madison will be moving up to FBS soon, perhaps making the announcement as soon as right after the basketball season ends. They released a feasability study in October. Perhaps they're making this coaching move with an eye toward hiring the coach that will lead them in the transition.

I didn't want to get into a pissing match about Floyd Keith, but you keep saying things that aren't true. You keep saying that the last time we had a chance of winning was with him. In 2001, after Keith and under Coach Stowers, we had a winning record and were ranked in the top 5 for a good amount o...

Both coaches should be fired. The ODU coach should definitely be fired. There's no way any guy in that locker room has any belief in that coach now. And how can he say to his players that they need to play a full 60 or that they need to power through when things get tough. On the other hand this is...

It's great to aspire to what Coach Izzo is doing at MSU, but is it at all instructional to what we should be doing here this year? Izzo has been the head coach there since 95 and was an assistant there since 83. His system is clearly in place. Hurley is trying to blend the left over Baron players in...

jcru, I remember that season and your work covering the team very fondly. The Maine game less so.

Here's a fun little exercise and might illustrate the difficulty any coach coming in will have. Coach A had a .689 winning percentage at his job before taking the URI position. He won one FCS championship, and made the playoffs in half of the seasons he was the head coach. Coach B had a .623 winnin...

It's about $2.39 million in current dollars or $1708 per seat. Reasons for it being cheaper are it doesn't account for anything to do with a press box, field work or lights.

According to a 3/31/05 press release on our website we were spending $2 million for the 1400 Ryan Center seats, scoreboard and refurbished East stands.

Albany's Bob Ford Field opened 9/14 against us. They spent $24 million for 8,500 seats or $2824 per seat. Stony Brook’s LaValle Stadium opened in 2002.

I haven't heard anything yet that makes me change my top 3 of Whipple, Keeler, and Brown, but at this point Don Brown is a clear number 1 for me.
