I'd go over and look, but I have way better product (at a much better price-point) at my house. I'm thinking it's open from the moment you can get in with your ticket...and from all the emails I keep getting...sounds like 1 hr pre-game?

If we win this one, there's absolutely NO REASON we shouldn't run the table in league play. That would at least give us a chance. This game is where the rubber meets the road. DON'T FUCK IT UP, DAN.

I just wish I didn't keep thinking of the old Andy Williams song, "A Fool Never Learns."
Had to sign in to like this. FINALLY some Keaney Bluers are coming around to my thinking.

Huge game.

This team was always going to have to do some tough stuff in order to make it in the tournament. This is what it takes.

Doesn't hurt that many guys are playing their best ball.

I have a question about that email - what color blue are they talking about? I'd be happy to oblige on this one, but since the team uses two colors of blue it would helpful if they were more specific.

Same way it always does. You best get there early, look at the seats around to get the right size shirt. And there will be those who take more than one shirt for themselves.
I think it is better to simply give the shirts as people enter.

Still 2300-2400 tickets available, including student sections. So, unless tons (1500 or so) of students show up, it won't be close to a sellout.

Haha, they clearly haven't seen many URI games. If there are any fixes going on for us then the fixers are very bad at their jobs.

Plus, this coming from the fans of a team who has literally had two losses overturned by the officials.

Hurley said on the coach's show they were going to encourage the guys to embrace the crowd in the hope that it will allow them to loosen up a bit and rather than get in their heads (paraphrasing the rationale). The show is an hour long so he has to say a bunch of stuff, but hopefully that's something they actually do. I think it could help them, especially down the stretch when we seem to play tight. Hoping to see signs of that today.

FWIW, bouncer at the Rhody Pub said the game is sold out.

I've never seen this many people in the building this early.

Fucking ESPN2 is showing us 5 minutes of a "live look in" of a timeout of the Florida State/Clemson game instead of URI. What the hell is this shit!!

Refs clearly think the crowd came out to see them today. Fouls on every play (both ways).
