Marketing doesn't always cost money. Their participation today was far more valuable than having a banner at TF Green

Yes, great exposure. Tens of thousands of people will see them with the A10 championship banner on the bus. I wonder if they have the trophy with them?

Great PR move to get the state university team out in the Rhode Island community. Got a lot of free exposure today along the route and on local tv.

Was at the parade and seemed like the team was having a blast. My daughter got an autographed mini ball from Langavine.

I said to Danny lets do it again this year and he stopped and smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Saw the team come through down the home stretch when the parade was a few hours old and crowds were not large in my section. However I yelled out "Go Rhody" and the guys perked up. Coach Dan stopped by and upon seeing my Pats gear just kept saying "Go Patriots". Nice pub to get in front of the many people who attend the parade.

Just from afar and being the son of a coach himself, my guess is Dan really respects Belichick and therefore is a somewhat of a (recent) Patriots fan. I could see him reading Halberstam's "Education of a Coach" which gets into Bill and his father's relationship through coaching.
