Anyone notice the new student Chant? Fire new chant in what 20 years? Glad someone noticed! The chant was a call & response: I say Rhody, you say Rams...I say Keaney you say blue...etc etc The student Ruckus leaders & marketing have brainstormed a few new chants we’re trying to work in. It’...

I just read pages 3 & 4 of this thread aloud to my family. It was LOL funny reading the descent into darkness & sharp turn into bliss.

That’s why they play 40 minutes fellas!!! It’s not always gonna be pretty but the boys are putting it together. GO RHODY

Great, gritty W today. Loved to see the freshmen stepping up - they are much more comfortable out there and are all definitely trending in the right direction. Lots of positives to build on moving into conference play. Shout out to the big crowd for waking up & making some noise down the stretch...

Still have 2 extra tickets for the game. Section 16 - 4 rows behind bench. They were $50 each but best offer takes them.

Honestly, I just know I’m behind a bench - not sure whether it’s Rhody or WVU? So I guess we’ll see tomorrow?

EZBuckets

Anyone need tickets for tomorrow?

I’ve got 2 in Section 16 - Row D. I believe we’re 4 rows behind the Rhody bench. Face was $50 each but I’ll take best offer.

(Fair warning - you’ll be sitting next to me...so be prepared for me to be drunkenly yelling for most of the game)

JV is back!! ......he must have regoniated his deal..... Guess we know where the NCAA shares are going.... :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: Seriously, thanks for the warm reception guys. I honestly had absolutely no intention of coming back after I walked away last year, but the amount of fans who just wo...

Really enjoyed my first beer at the Rhody Pub last night :lol: It was surreal sitting in the stands. I’ve been told Niki will have a partner this season who will fill the “hype man” role. I thought she did a great job for her first game.That job is not easy and it’ll definitely take some time to set...

Lunardi made it a point to seek me out immediately after the game and assure me that Phil was just messing around and had no idea who I was nor the context of the situation and I have no reason not to believe him. I don't hold any ill will toward Martelli whatsoever and agree with most of you above ...

EZBuckets

I just started going to games this year and I commend you on your professionalism, passion and ability to fire up the crowd. Just curious - what's your next move? Not to PC I trust. 8-) Thanks, Pete! There's no real "next move". I'll still be doing PA for various other Rhody teams (men's ...

EZBuckets

EZ deserves double time pay for his efforts tonight. True professional with the way he went about his job on an otherwise miserable night. Curious about his exchange with Martelli after he addressed the crowd inside the 3 minute mark. Martelli said something and EZ just gave him a disgusted look. W...

Aw shucks guys. Thank you very much for all the kind words. I love this school and team more than I could ever put into words & it’s been one helluva ride these past 10 years. Thank you to the whole KB community for being such passionate, dedicated fans & supporting this program through all ...

LOVE the Young Alumni section - they are close to where I stand and I always see the whole section up, loud & engaged. I really hope The Ryan Center can continue to expand that section and offer discounted tickets as we continue to develop a new group of fresh alumni fans. And believe me, I've d...

You cannot criticize EZ Buckets, aka the guy with the mike aka Rhody Hoops Hype Man, on Keaney Blue. That's cause for expulsion. Dude does yeomans work and has been there since when you could hear a pin drop in that building. He is phenomenal and will be sorely missed when he retires at the end of ...

Future Mrs. EZBuckets works for the Pats so I’ll be attending both games.

Was originally not happy about our early tip time - but really worked out perfectly all the way around.

Hey guys, just wanted to stop in and apologize for not mentioning KB during Rod’s tribute yesterday. I had every intention to, but got caught in the moment and unfortunately it slipped from my mind. I don’t really get nervous speaking in front of a large crowd any longer, but the weight of Rod’s los...

EZBuckets

I’m on my way to the game and am at an absolute loss. Rod was one of a kind and whether you loved him or hated him, he was one of the most passionate Rhody fans walking God’s green earth. A huge loss to our tiny community. My thoughts and prayers are with Rod’s family and the Keaney Blue family as w...

EZBuckets

The only thing I'm disappointed in is the result. There won't be too many nights where the entire team is that ice cold shooting. There was some poor shot selection in the first half but just about everyone was just plain OFF. The foul differential in comparison to shots attempted was disgusting. Th...

Since it was brought up... My role shifted to sort of the unofficial Ruckus leader over the past 4-5 seasons as we’ve tried to rebuild our student fan base and with it, create some new traditions and routines for the group to follow and pass on. It has gotten to a place where I will try to help kick...

EZBuckets

What a win! That one instantly moves onto my list of favorite games at the Ryan Center. Just wanted to stop in and thank everyone who was there last night; the fans and the students were exceptional. Once we got over that slow start, the students were dialed in, on their feet & loud for the ENTI...

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ‘Land, not a creature was stirring - except for a Ram. The jerseys were hung in the lockers with care, in hopes that the son of Saint Anthony’s soon would be there. The Friars were nestled all smug in their beds, while visions of past wins danced ...

John Vanner the hype man is retiring after this season per Bill Koch..

Amen, brother. This will be my 10th (and final) season. I'm hopeful that we'll see plenty of big crowds and renewed energy from fans at the Ryan Center this season.

This team deserves it...as do my vocal cords.

....Buckets; hopefully you have a reserved space for your arrival at the RC, if not, an investigation is called for......ready for the banner? Well I don’t have a reserved space, but I typically arrive 2 hours before tipoff so luckily parking isn’t ever a real issue for me. You bet I’m ready to rai...

I know my phone remembers where I park even without asking.

I mentioned it already in another thread; but it was great meeting you as well, Iggy. I also had the pleasure of meeting a ton of other KB regulars who made the trip west like Red, Frogman, & Neil and some others. It was great to put faces to the "names" and celebrate some long awaited...

I was lucky enough to be in Saint Louis in 1998 as an 11 year old boy and it remains one of the greatest experiences of my life. To share it with my parents was even sweeter and solidified our mutual love of Rhody basketball. I also luckily had the opportunity to be in Sacramento this weekend and it...

l (unfortunately) have a ton of friends and family who are PC fans who took their time to reach out over the past few days to send well wishes & props to Rhody. So I might as well return the favor and congratulate the Friars on their 4th straight NCAA appearance. Their late emergence this year a...

All the promotional things were still done with him out against St. Bonaventure. No contracts were torn up, we didn't lose any money, and no fans walked out of the building. There is zero proof that people walk into the Ryan Center for the MC. Hey man, I'm really sorry I haven't thrown you a t-shir...

EZBuckets

Iggy - I can count on one hand the number of possessions each game where the Ruckus isn't chanting Defense or Let's Go Rhody. Although the rest of the crowd hardly ever jumps in, it's definitely happening. I also agree that we need new chants. I tried getting some new ones worked in, but it needs mo...

I'm looking forward to recording another appearance with Kyle & Bobby later on tonight.

They do a great job and I'd be listening even if I wasn't occasionally a guest on the show. Highly recommend it for all Rhody fans.

Should be a good time. I'm going to try and make it down after work.

I'm usually watching away games alone on my couch, tweeting thru my emotions during the game...so it'll be a nice change of pace.

A couple of questions...1. Where was EZ Buckets? .... 2. What was going on at the beginning of the 2nd half when Yorke said that Akele was in the starting lineup replacing Iverson. Then, about 10 seconds later, he says that Iverson is back in the starting lineup? Sadly, one of my good friends decid...

What a weekend! That Cinci game was the statement game we needed to shift perception in the national conversation. Duke had all the answers and we just couldn't hit our shots when we needed to.
