That's means he's still developing physically. With the Hurleys guiding him, he's going to be a beast in a couple of years. I can't wait!

The woman's game is at 5 and the men's game is at 7:30.

For those who don't gamble, feel free to laugh at us degenerates :D For those that do...how do you feel about this season money-wise? Last year while unhappy with the product, I was happy to bet against Rhody and my wallet thanked me. This year...I see myself taking a lot of Rhody + spreads. I thin...

Given that URI will probably be an underdog in most of its games this year, you should make plenty of money on them to afford to pay the streaming fees.

Today in the Providence Sunday Journal, Kevin McNamara previews the Rams' first season under Dan and Bobby Hurley. (To be honest, its' a little less of a preview and more of a Hurley Family 101 course over two pages. Still, a pleasure to read about this great family who now leads our Rams) I though...

These guys play hard 40 minutes a game. If they keep that up, they'll win a good share of their games.

Rhody74

It's hard to say how this game will translate to the regular season. Jordan Hare looks awfully young and needs to develop more physically. Yet, because CG was so small, he got a double-double in less than 20 minutes of playing time. Nick and Mumford dominated offensively, and Powell has developed un...

Traditional URI watering hole Coast Guard House was badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Video here: http://news.providencejournal.com/break ... nsett.html

Rhody74

I was concerned that power issues might affect the game. But it appears it won't. http://www.uri.edu/news/releases/?id=6447

Rhody74

Is anyone else excited for Coast Guard in 2 days? I know its not a real game but I can't wait for the Hurley Legacy to begin I'm looking forward to it much more than the average exhibition game. It'll be interesting to see who Hurley starts, how he subs, and who the go-to offensive guys are. This t...

Last year I was a pessimist. This year, I'll see the glass as half full (tho' I wish the Big O could play this year).

Also could there also be a "secret scrimmage" coming up soon? very soon? Then it wouldn't be a secret would it???

My guess it's Wagner.

Rhody74

Jimmy shows a lot of class. Say what you will about his father's coaching abilities, he brought his son up in the right way. Favorite quote:

"I don’t pay attention to the females in these countries, and my fiance appreciates that."

Smart boy!

I have a 2-year-old grandson that I was thinking of bringing to an afternoon game. Did your toddler make it through the whole game?

Rhody74

You can't nitpick these things ..... you really need all kinds of these things to get everyone pumped. Coast Guard is less than two weeks away!

Rhody74

That is still one of the top 3 URI games I have ever been at(fall 99 enrollment). that, along with the USC game, are the only two times I really remember the RC rocking all night. there were other loud moments, but people showed up (well I did ) 2 hours early for the game, and we managed to double ...

I'd be interested in what it's like playing in Europe .... level of competition, how the game is played, etc. His eventual goals would be interesting, too.

Lehigh is the *highlight* of their home schedule????

Rhody74

I wouldn't make too much of what we saw in the scrimmage. Sure we got to see the athleticism of some guys, but the coaches will be putting a lot of structure that wasn't evident.

Rhody74

Desmond Williams from CCRI was there, according to the ProJo.

Walker's mother died on Wednesday. It sounds like he's had it rough. His father also passed sometime earlier this year. He would not have been here tonight whether we were still involved or not. It's still unclear if we're still recruiting him. Wow ... I'm sure the last thing on his mind is where h...

Rhody74

It was a fun night. It was my first, so I don't know how it compares to past ones, but I thought the crowd was decent. My guess there were about 1500 or so. The slam dunk contest was fun and a few guys showed off what they could do. Damn, I wish Gil Biruta was eligible this year. He's tough and athl...

Rhody74

Good lord....I did NOT expect Gil to be that much of an athlete! I thought the same thing. Too bad he's not eligible this year; he's going to eat up the A10. I think that Nigerian kid is going to be a player, too. During the scrimmage, he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time for...

Walker's game on tape reminded me of Don Cheney, who played with Elvin Hayes in Houston, and later in the NBA. Very long, not a great shooter, but a good player. We've had so many great lefty players over the years, though. Did you mean Don Chaney of the Celtics who later coached in Houston? He was...

I'm almost embarrassed admitting this at age 59, but I feel like a college freshman ready to go to his first college basketball game.

Rhody74

Yeah but who types it? Once you go once, you just bookmark it, no? I probably only type a half dozen wed addresses and dial a half dozen phone numbers per year. 99% of the time I just push the button for what I want. sonsofsamhorn has another domain name that redirects to the main forrum .... sosh....

Rhody74

Great questions and great answers. I can't wait for the season to begin.

I hope everyone who has been congratulating ATP on his fine job has stepped and donated to this board. I've done this sort of work in the past and it's a LOT of work!

Bobby has said that he and his family really like it here, so that helps.

#44 could play football without pads and still be the biggest guy on the field. If he has any athleticism at all (and I'm sure he does) he'll be a force.

Rhody74

Unless they're really into basketball, I don't think many students have any idea who the Hurleys are. Winning, entertaining basketball is the answer to drawing student interest.

Rhody74

We may have the same number of wins as last year, but we'll certainly be a better team.

This is kind of off-the-wall, but what about a take-off of "The Firehouse Gang" .... the nickname that Keaney's squads had back in the '40s. Firehouse.com and Firehousegang.com is already taken, but you could have something like firehousebball.com (available). If you think it's too corny, ...

My wife and I will be there .... haven't been to the Ryan Center in a couple of years. Looking forward to it. Here's one of the reasons:

Rhody74

While I'm getting increasingly optimistic, I don't think anyone knows what we have, coaches included. At this point, I'll be happy with a trip to Brooklyn at the end of the season.

Oh man ..... this board loads soooooooo quickly compared to the old board. Thanks for switching over!

Rhody74

Yeah, and I can adjust the monthly fee month-to-month based on the seasonality of our traffic. So that also keeps costs down. We have had many friends on the present board generously offer to help get this project rolling. I think it's time to make the call and get this migration done. You guys hav...

I love how he doesn't downplay expectations. He's putting himself and the players on the spot.

Rhody74

This seems a lot quicker. This morning, the old forum took forever to load.

Good luck!
