Signs - 2015-2016
Re: Signs - 2015-2016
I wonder how the college students feel about being yelled at and put down by EZB. He does a tremendous job of leading the students but every once in awhile he goes on a rant about how bad the students are supporting the team. I know at 20 years old I wouldn't have wanted to hear this put down. Please EZB keep up the effort you put into your job but maybe think about the approach. You may be losing some students rather then increasing their support. I wish the RhodyRam had any of your drive and effort. Sitting down next to the cheerleaders should be reason for replacement. If the Ram isn't allowed to do anything why have one. Bring back the mascots of the late 90's. My kids loved the ram coming into the stands to welcome them. Would sledman or kiltman be allowed at the ryan center.

Quote: OK, so how do you get those people to a) get into the building, b) have a good time, c) get them to come back?
If your answer is: treat them like children and keep the beer in a designated area where they can't see the game, make sure they don't have potty mouths and say only nice things to opposing teams and fans, and hassle the few that actually are into the game when they express themselves - you're probably part of the problem.
========
The beer situation is ridiculous...if I can't take them to my seat...then, for cryin' out loud, take a TV off one of the concession stand lines and slap it on a wall in that oversized cubicle they call a "pub"... And, by the way, was there a contest to see who could determine the slowest possible way to serve drinks?
And another thing...the atmosphere and service may not be the greatest but, they don't have the best selection in the world either

OK, back to the signs; Jay, keeping pushing the envelope, we need that....maybe Coach Cox should be focused on other game day assignments.....

if Cox was responsible for getting a H+H with Houston I can see and understand his request. You want to get home and home series you need to build connections.

No, it would take a major major donation and then request the TV be named the NY Giant TV.....being a Giant fan......I will say no shot...

i doubt they would allow kiltman to wave the flag like he used to. hell, i doubt they'd allow the ratty bed sheet "Not In Our House" banner either.rhodywins wrote:I wonder how the college students feel about being yelled at and put down by EZB.

its bad enough they moved the Mob from behind the visitors bench because they were bothering the other team and their fans

All true...and my points exactly. Just decide what you want...if it's a family friendly nice nice environment..understand the building will be empty and quiet on non big game nights. If you want a loud building with people in it, understand the way things are isn't the solution.Da_Process_Survivor wrote:i doubt they would allow kiltman to wave the flag like he used to. hell, i doubt they'd allow the ratty bed sheet "Not In Our House" banner either.rhodywins wrote:I wonder how the college students feel about being yelled at and put down by EZB.

I think Twisted is spot on......it is so hard to get home and homes with BCS football schools.....coaches cultivate relationships....if it were an A-10 foe who has to come here it would be different....

Going back to NIT game, didn't we have a "clueless" sign, or was there a sign ban for the NIT?

Re: Signs - 2015-2016
Take from my seats... is I've never been more frustrated than I was during this game. No one will convince me otherwise.... these refs are out to get Hurley. No doubt in my mind.section(105) wrote:....and what was your take from your seats?
Had some good back and forth with Bembry and Papa. I've noticed that some teams and refs will engage and others will not. The St. Joe's players were very talkative. The refs in this game wouldn't even look my way.
After the game, Martelli walked by, looked at me laughing and blew me kisses.
Horrible night...

Re: Signs - 2015-2016
I didn't get to see the post-game taunting from Bembry. Was it that he was pointing at the student section, or you, Jay? What did he do? Was it his actions that got all the boos after the final horn?

We're gonna run the picket fence at "em.....now boys don't get caught watchin' the paint dry!
Re: Signs - 2015-2016
Bembry was taunting the whole game, not just at the end. He mostly would say things like "Look at the scoreboard!".... "What about now, look at it now!"... I think the boos at the final horn were related to Martelli blowing kissed to and laughing at various Rhody fans.ATPTourFan wrote:I didn't get to see the post-game taunting from Bembry.

Re: Signs - 2015-2016
The classy move would have been for Martelli and his players to just walk off the court with their heads held high after a win, especially given the fact they sent two players to the hospital. Can't say I am surprised they did not conduct themselves that way.

Re: Signs - 2015-2016
In their defense, it was a back and forth thing, I wasn't just sitting there silently throughout the game. They earned the right to trash talk back.RF1 wrote:The classy move would have been for Martelli and his players to just walk off the court with their heads held high after a win, especially given the fact they sent two players to the hospital.

Martelli has a long history of getting into it with opposing fans.

Here's hoping we get these cockaroaches twice next year when we are at full strength and BLOW them out both times. It is now a toss up in my mind who is the most hated team--Umass or St Joe's. Neither team will ever come close to the Friars..............
