I was going to respond to the troll, but I thought better.

Just a reminder that donors have made clear that they would pay $2M+ for the right coach.

An unproven, no name assistant wasn’t going to get the same financial guarantees as Dan Hurley.

Blue Man

Another interesting scenario is say we drastically underachieve and go say 18-12 with our terrible SOS then somehow put it together and win the A10 tournament, what happens then ?? 2 year extension I would bet. For whatever reason we weren't sold on Hurley after he turned the program around and got...

Blue Man

That's not entirely true. You can have people that go to the games and are not complacent. They've spent the money and it's an event, something to do. I would bet that a lot of the older crowd/season ticket holders in fact are retired and it's especially viewed by them as something they do as part ...

Blue Man

If the team reaches the A10 finals, I'd be an absolute nervous wreck from the time we clinch a spot in the game until the end of the game hoping we win and make the tournament. I don't need to be right, I need URI to be successful Thank you. Give me an NCAAT birth over being right that Cox is a bad...

Al Davis - "Just win, maybe"

Really confused about what you and Jersey are confused about. What Blue Man is saying is literally sports 101 shit. Teams absolutely use fan interest as a metric in whether to keep coaches or fire them. Thorr himself cited declining fan interest/attendance/revenue as part of the reason he fired Bar...

Blue Man

I agree and have told my friends, "watch, we'll win 20ish games, people will think that's a good benchmark, and Cox will get extended for two more years and we'll be stuck like this for a little while longer." I'm 30, and remember all the way back to the Keaney days, crying all the way ho...

Never will understand encouraging fans not to go to watch their favorite team play. Blue Man, you consistently given us the dictionary definition of “fanatic” to justify how you post / act at games, but now you’re claiming you “don’t care” and barely watch some of the games. I don’t know who you ar...

Blue Man

You guys understand that if there are fans in the stands spending money than the athletics department won’t make the financial investment to buy out the coach right? Like AD’s aren’t fans. They’re GMs. They go off of numbers. Because if URI wins 20 games and fires the coach, to an outsider that’s a ...

Would love to go back to stitched uniforms. These just look like bad chinese knockoffs - or the sports section at Bob's where you can't buy the official licensed stuff. I mean it's bad enough you can't get legit game jerseys at the RamZone. But passing printed practice jerseys off as cool alternates...

Blue Man

It’s wild to me you think I’m not an actual sports fan because I want to continue going to watch games if my Alma mater / favorite sports team. No it’s wild to me that you’re questioning the notion/connection of not going to these games and wanting the team to be good. It’s great you haven’t been b...

Things not getting better for Bobby at ASU. https://twitter.com/wilnerhotline/status/1485455599659732994?s=20 Maybe he read this thread and is trying to shoot his way out of town so he can come to Kingston!! Or maybe it was a 41-9 free throw discrepancy, and he didn’t even make contact with the off...

Blue Man

Okay, I am very much aware that you will refuse to root for this team until Cox is gone. That is your prerogative, but I feel it is wrong to condemn fans that still support this team. By saying that your end game is Cox's dismissal and encouraging fans to stay away, you must be rooting for us to lo...

Blue Man

BlueMan I know you are frustrated, but you shouldn't make a judgement call on fans who decide to attend games. It is your choice not to go, so leave it at that. I'm most certainly not the arbiter of fan behavior. I frequently fluctuate between the most emotional and irrational, to the most even-kee...

Trash jersey. Not as bad as the pink out with the sleeves, but it's bad.

The only alternates we should do is the navy/keaney lamar odom ones (more recent NCAA runs as well) - I'd even like the old school Carlos Easterling blue/yellow/white.

I enjoy this. UConn deserves it.

I don't blame Danny for leaving because UConn was obviously more committed to winning basketball than URI wants to be, but I do love those douchebags getting their comeuppance and having to pay through the nose to do it.

Blue Man

"Don’t be fooled by a hollow 12-5 record" You think DCRams/TJRams/3rdBurnerRams will now harass Morey for having the audacity to question such a phenomenal coach as Dave Cox? What's wrong with Morey? Does he not understand basketball? All this criticism SUCKS! He just doesn't understand ho...

I got the refund based on the uncertainty of Covid rules - as I had missed 10 home games since the age of 3 (minus Baron’s final season when I felt I needed to be a conscientious objector to make my voice heard).

Reminder: the coach of our basketball team who makes 3/4 of a mil to win basketball games, came out publicly and said that game day wasn’t about winning. This is the point I was making in the game thread. I'd really like to see a recording or corroboration of this. If it's a real quote this is beyo...

Makes you wonder why we didn't go after a player like Quisenberry to fill the starting guard slot left open by Russell's portal entry. We picked up El-Amin. Quisenberry has continued to improve as the season has moved on and he is not a Grad Transfer. He has another year left of eligibility. There ...

Harrison school? It's the Harrington School. Repor? You mean "rapport." Before you expect a 20-year-old to be perfect, try being a perfect adult. Did it on my phone, autocorrect. But thanks for pointing it out. Wow see - hearing criticism didn’t derail my day. But I’m happy you pointed it...

That kid has legitimate talent. It's insulting to him, and frankly it's insulting to the Harrison School/communications dept to put such a talent disparity on display.

With all the games cancelled this year, I wouldn't look at this as a reliable metric until late February.

It's predicated heavily on last year's numbers and those won't get flushed out until everyone plays a lot more games.

Blue Man

Too early to tell. Are there any 4 star recruits in your list? Also, this is a different era with more transfers. My point is that it is too early to claim Baron was better at attracting stars. Your point was to degrade Cox as a recruiter. I can’t believe I’m debating with you. I mean seriously, an...

Blue Man

What David cox recruit is more talented than Dawan Robinson, Will Daniels, Jimmy Baron, Delroy James, or Keith Cothran? They’d have started over every cox recruit (unless cox had promised someone more minutes in recruiting). And those players all played for Baron for 4 years. Too early to tell. Are...

How many of these three former players were POTY candidates or first-team all-A10? I just don't recall. I don’t view anything through the prism of A10 award winners considering Yuta Wantanabe was the DPOY over Stan Robinson. A10 conference awards are a joke. I could be wrong but I believe JimmyB wa...

Blue Man

To be fair to Baron - he may not have been a very good coach, but he could recruit stars. Cox hasn’t brought in anyone close to the level of talent as a Dawan Robinson/Will Daniels/Delroy James in terms of the ability to be THE guy. How many of these three former players were POTY candidates or fir...

Is there a different AB than I'm remembering?

Still tough to be excited. We can’t beat anyone halfway decent, and we still look awful against bad teams.

Can we just run any semblance of an offense?

I also just don’t understand why this offense puts the center in positions to be handling the ball from 20+ feet away from the hoop.
