Friar fan toilet humor - URI game tee-shirt

Unread post by RF1 »

PC Friar fans are certainly giving a lot of thought very far in advance for a game that "supposedly" doesn't mean anything to them. Seems they are already thinking about a tee-shirt design for the game. Our very own PC Fan SeanMC94 has even chimed in on a thread on their forum.

PC will now have a special tee-shirt and restrictive ticket plan for the "little meaning" game with URI. Oddly, I couldn't find any threads about a tee-shirt design for their "real" rival UConn.

It's excellent that this hypocrisy is continually recorded in threads like this, RF1.

It would be more fun if there was something original every year, similar to the Duke/UNC rivalries where there's a theme each time they play.

Get over yourself. I've always maintained this game is important. Don't paint a few yahoos as the majority. As far as the shirt goes; I think it's pretty funny. At least PC doesn't sell it in the bookstore like URI. Oh wait, if they did, your prez would probably go on TV and cry about it.

Try to keep it under 15 this year

toilet humor.......wonderful.
Pee Cee, Urine, URInation, and what have you............I just don't get the humor of this stuff.
Don't know why people would want to contribute to a thread like that.
As always I will be at the PC - URI game no matter where it is played. Now I have to look forward to seeing people wearing shirts of somebody peeing on my URI Ram? sad
There are many, many rivalries in this Country: Duke - UNC, UCLA - USC, Ohio State - Michigan, Texas - Texas A&M, Kentucky - Louisville, Clemson - South Carolina, Florida - FLorida State..............and mnay more but none some up with ideas such as a Peeing T-shirt.
Thin skinned has nothing to do with it as is mentioned on the PC Board that URI message Board posters would get "pissed" ------can't believe I wrote that. But this is really ridiculous.
This discussion makes me look less forward to attending this year's game....it really does even though I'll still attend...I already have my tickets.

I remember those shirts but I think they were from about 8 years ago and thought they were sold by students....I have no problem with either school selling shirts like these, I actually embrace it....Most schools sell shirts about their rivals

I had that shirt. It was not sold at the URI Book Store, it was sold at the store up in the emporium that has no affiliation to URI.

agree,
The shirt was not sold by URI.
There may be some pockets of people doing this, but typically I see hte Yankee - Red Sox humor at the games but not much at the college level.

I've got no problem with T-shirts for these rivalry games. I do have a problem with vulgarities on the shirts. Not that I am above vulgarity (no one is more vulgar than I).

It's just there is a time and place for it. There are children and families at these games, not to mention the clergy as pc is a religious institution.

While the actual brand of humor isn't my first choice (the whole "Pee-C" and "URIne" literal toilet humor is a little sophomoric for my taste), the spirit of this - mocking each other in a playful yet merciless way - is EXACTLY what should be happening in this (and any) rivalry. More funny t-shirts; more brutal chants; more mascot-stealing-type of pranks. The more of that stuff the better. Time to turn everything around Rhode Island basketball up to 11.

I went to the Georgia-Florida game this weekend. Very heated, passionate rivalry with a lot on the line. 99% of the fans on both sides were very civil. I even had several Florida fans congratulate my group after the game. Very different than Sox-Yanks, Pats-Jets; etc. Wonder if it's the great weather, gorgeous women...

Or maybe it was just the people you happened to be around? When was the last time they had to pull a PC or URI fan out of a pond?

I don't think anyone here is offended by PC making fun of URI, but at least put some effort into it. Every idea in that PC thread is absolutely groan-worthy.
