Re: Next year's needs: Ryan Center In-Game Experience
The players made rounds at fraternities and sororities around campus but not to the dorms. With the largest class of freshman being welcomed why not go talk to those freshman. (3,100 freshmen and 550 transfer students). And not many students are aware of the seating change or the new way to get in to the games.

Rhody4012016: Is this what you're referring to - that apparently didn't happen?????
By KEVIN McNAMARA JOURNAL SPORTS WRITER
SOUTH KINGSTOWN — When T.J. Buchanan and his teammates started knocking on dormitory doors all over the University of Rhode Island campus in recent days, the reactions they received were exactly what they hoped for.
“They knew who we were,” said Buchanan. “They opened the door kind of surprised, like ‘What’s going on?’ We just told them ‘You won a pizza! Now you have to come out and support us.’ ”
That McNamara can't get ANYTHING correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But your post has me awfully

They definitely went to some dorms. I saw photos of it on Twitter.Rhody4012016 wrote:The players made rounds at fraternities and sororities around campus but not to the dorms.

They did not stop at my dorm. Unless they did it during Columbus day weekend or only certain dorms. I'm surprised they didn't mention it during MM. I just hope I get my spot during games among all these new kids that want to sit and be on their phones.

Re: Next year's needs: Ryan Center In-Game Experience
If a basketball player knocks on your door and no one is home, is there a sound inside the dorm room????

I'm sure thats true. I would be surprised if they were able to knock on every single door on campus. Hopefully its something they continue to do throughout the season if time allows.Rhody4012016 wrote:I talked to my hall mates and they said no one came by either.

Re: Next year's needs: Ryan Center In-Game Experience
Richmond's Robbins Center has been getting a major facelift and modernization over the offseason. They held an open house once the new HD video boards in all 4 corners were installed and operational. Ryan Center will be transformed next season if we're all goes well.
Great job, Spiders!

New DLP video scorer's table display is in and installed at the Ryan Center!
Here's more info on this type of court side display. It is essentially 10 side-by-side 50" diagonal 1080p DLP HDTVs with ruggedized screens.

Looks great! Glad to see the URI taking the necessary steps to improve the program and hopefully retain Hurley long term.

205 is the spot to be this year. The brain trust of this board, along with myself and a few others decided that will no longer be the gray haired section where everyone sits on their hands.jcru wrote:Me, I'm just trying to grab some tickets west of you in 204.

I think Milan is somewhere on our side, too.
Happy to be on the less traveled side, too.
Now, I can see our offense in the second half, and catch Hurley's antics.
Although, he said he won't be as wild as he was last year.
We'll see about that.

Good question, but only on the east side where scoring and timing are located.

Dan Yorke is back, as far as I know, as such, he did the intro's at the Alpine event......I see his efforts as a work in progress, for me, I do not want an over the top screamer, but that said, some creative utterances as appropriate as the homer in charge at the mic, someone we can call a

Cannot say enough good things about the quick turn around of the URI band.
Bravo.
Also, can't wait for the new scoreboard next year. Because it's pretty lame looking up at the tiny boards we have now.

Re: Next year's needs: Ryan Center In-Game Experience
Our scoreboard infuriates me.......no immediate update on the scoring by player, who is in the game, fouls on players...it is an embarrassment....
So many times players come in and their stats are not immediately changed.....it is the only arena I have been to that is this bad.....

Absolutely. It was down for long stretches in the exhibition game. It's like they have a loose wire or something... always goes down.

The loudest of the nite was when the little no 2 from CLCF went coast to coast in the mini kiddie game at half time. That kid has future all state for either CW or CE written all over him! Most of those kids were pretty good actually, that was pretty fun. Next time shut off the music and let the kids feel the crowd noise!
Yorke was back - he was better but please explain to him on a 1 and 1 he doesn't need to announce "he has one more" = weak.
The video boards are so obsolete, mandatory upgrade.

Mancuso took the job seriously and studied/prepared so he always sounded professional. Yorke is winging it for the paycheck.
