I believe I will be there.

Is this a suit and tie affair? Hopefully not.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

I hope it is. I have a zillion suits and need an excuse to wear one.
Why is RI the slobovian state? No sense of occasion at all.
People wear jeans to church on Easter,
and wearing a tie, God forbid, is a death sentence.
I've already paid for my admission.
Should be fun!

Will Dan Hurley's search for a big man --who can play-- yield results by then?

The missing piece of the puzzle

God forbid there's not an event to wear sweatshirts and sneakers to.

BTW, good old Quidnessett... I think the last time I was there was for a high school winter formal.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

This is how some people wish the universe would dress.
This would be, maybe, wedding attire?

Senior Prom for me.

Hey, Rod! Where'd you steal that picture of me???

RhowdyRam02 · Unread post by **RhowdyRam02** » 9 years ago

People worry far too much about how other people dress or look. You want to wear a suit, wear a suit. You want to wear jeans and a t-shirt, wear jeans and a t-shirt.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Really?

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 9 years ago

I will officially be there. If Rod's wearing a suit, I will!

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 9 years ago

I wonder who's going to be the first to ask Dan about our current recruiting progress?!?!?

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

I will, as usual.

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 9 years ago

See you on Tuesday Rod!!!!

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 9 years ago

He can't mention any names, unless they are signed.

I just signed up for the dinner.......asked to sit at the Keaneyblue table.......me, Rod, Rambone, Blue, 85, anyone else?

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 9 years ago

I'll be there

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Funny Ramulous mentions seating.
Since this is going to be a dinner, I wonder how they'll work it?
Like a wedding, I'd imagine.
I'll probably seek out Milan, if he's there.

The Keaneyblue table? You mean the one in the back of the room, with small chairs and relegated to mac and cheese and chicken fingers? Sign me up

I will be there. Can I please sit with the big kids at the KeaneyBlue table?

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Hey, on a POSITIVE note, maybe Dan will announce some good recruiting news at the ceremony.

You never know.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 9 years ago

We would already know anything he might be able to publicly announce. Just let Rod do his thing and get the scoop from Dan himself.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Anyone have an idea of what's on the menu for tomorrow night?

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 9 years ago

The big salad

Have fun, folks…..And please give a nice night cap/recap!

neil · Unread post by **neil** » 9 years ago

Stole by line South! On a personal note I'm retiring from teaching this year after 40 years. I never went to events like this because of distance and working. Starting next year, I will definitely be joining "the round table". Have fun!!!

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Neil, I'll be doing the same thing, although a year later.

2 years to retirement. Part of me can't wait, the other part isn't thrilled about getting older.

Can't have it both ways, unless you have loads of money. Oh well.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Congrats, Neil! 40 years! Amazing in this day and age.
Funny, I was thinking the other day, that you must be our most dedicated
fan, because you're always there, and you aren't exactly
down the street from Kingston.

Nah. We have to represent Keaneyblue.com,
so, no riots, or food fights.

Wonder if that guy that was so disruptive at the last function will show up. If so, Taylor Swift will have to play bouncer again.

Out of context, that's one of the funniest lines on this board!

That was an enjoyable evening! Got to see many people, 105, RhodyJay, Rod, Ramulous, ATP and TP and many who listen but don't post. Spoke with Coach Carr for awhile. Really nice guy. Got a surprise visit from the Godfather, whom I'd never met before. Fascinating stories and we went through the years about certain events. I could probably talk with him for hours on end about Rhody hoops. He really has so much history and knowledge. I tip my hat to him. Ran into Dan going for dinner. I apologized to him for calling that ref at the Iona game an ahole. He laughed and said he needs to take up yoga to keep calm during games. Said he just gets worked up sometimes. Also said the Stanford game was tough for him as well. Should be a busy weekend coming up on campus.......

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Sounds like visits are on the way. Good news maybe?

You can't leave us hanging about the "busy weekend", can you?

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 9 years ago

I really didn't get much info on the details. But we should have some visitors this weekend. Don't know if they are 15 or 16. Or who they might be, so sorry for being vague. Maybe someone else gathered more intel?

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Other than Willy, haven't heard anything in the way of tweets yet.

Hopefully they are 15's. First things first......

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 9 years ago

There's 3 coming.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 9 years ago

When can '16s start doing official visits?

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Good. Let's get at least one of them to commit, if they're 15's.

A package deal?

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 9 years ago

Bone, at this point we have a really good team. 1 piece could make this a great team. Let's see what happens.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

OK, the real news of the night is, I walked out of Quidnessett with
all the A-10 Awards.
They were left behind and the staff didn't know what to do with them.
I said I'd be seeing everyone Saturday, so I now have them.
Great night! Wonderful crowd. Good food.
Talked to Thorr, Daryl Jasper, Andrea Hurley, Carl Koussa, and of course, Dan.
Nice showing by KeaneyBlue.com, Matt, Milan, Blueram,TP,Rhody 74,
among others.
Talked to Denny McGovern, my first favorite Ram.
The Godfather, the encyclopedia of URI history, always great to
listen to.
Anyway, I got one on one with Dan, who told me I made him look bad,
and I dressed like Tom Pecora.
So, "What about a big man?" He kind of shrugged and said, "Well, it's going to be
a busy May."
I asked about Gibbs from Seton Hall. He said Gibbs will be very much in demand.
So, as he was leaving, Dan yelled over to me,"It's going to be a busy May, and
you know I always get what I want. And you look like Tom Pecora."
So, it was a crazy night, for sure.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Absolutely. Good to see things starting to pick up though.

All it will take, is one good signing, and a lot of people's concerns will be relieved.....

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 9 years ago

"Well, it's going to be a busy May". Was that said with a smile or with a frown?

Sorry, I wasn't there. Wish I could've been. Must've gotten me mixed up with some other fat alum.
