Scott, did you get your tickets through Rhody or directly from the Ocean Center?

Can someone who has Flo Sports set up a webex and share their screen? It would be much appreciated.

I got mine from the arena and I plan to move into a better location like I did at the A10 in Washington. We should definitely meet up?

Definitely meet up. I’m going to the alumni Association reception at the hotel before the game. Hope to buy tickets there. If not I’ll buy them at the Ocean Center. Are you going to the reception?

Looks like you can log in as representative of a CAA institution and get a rate well below $100 per year. After all, URI is a CAA Football team.

I have Flo because I watch URI Football. I’ll be watching URI - Elon Saturday at 2pm.

Stone Freeman does a great job with the football broadcasts on Flo.

So you can get this weekends basketball games plus URI Football for less than $100 per year.

Ramster, so if I sigh up for Flofootball at $7.99, I can watch basketball as well? If you click on Flofootball for the Elon game it says $7.99 a month.

I’d recommend you email or chat with them. Someone mentioned getting a 20% off deal offered to them after having inquired to the site.

I have had Flo for several years and I pay the higher price.

Just do the whole month or else they'll charge you for the year if you buy the $7.99 a month.

I have FloSports. If I remember right I paid $150 when it auto renewed a year ago. I’ve probably had it for 3 or more years. Driving factor for me is CAA and URI Football so I get the away games I don’t attend.

I think a sign up bonus back then might have been 2 free months for a year subscription.

So comes down to $12.50 per month year round - but I pay the Full $150 automatically.

I checked and I get both the URI Football vs Elon today at 2pm and the Sunshine Slam today.

If anybody's interested in meeting up, Mrs. Red and I will be in the bar hoping her Michigan State Spartans can hang with Ohio State. Game starts at noon.

Compared to other streaming services, charging this much for something called FloSports might be the worst deal going these days.

I understood people get it to watch their team/Alma mater, but the price for the content seems ridiculous to me.

I am sure that is what they would desire every year as national tv coverage is invaluable. Teams must however be invited to these tournaments and I am not sure URI is high on the list for invitees. Most tournaments go for high profile names from P5 conferences and the bg east or perennial NCAA particpants. Rhody unfortunately meets none of that criteria. It has to settle for occasional invites to the better tournaments.

I wanted to say it was great meeting some of you at the games and the receptions. We need to plan to meet up before games more often. Nothing better than talking Rhody Hoops.

Likewise. Mrs. Red and I enjoyed meeting Love Those Rams, steveystuds, KevanBoyles, as well as a great bunch of alums. Would love to see Rhody visit Florida every year.

Conspicuous by his absence was Karl Koussa. Has he been seen at the Ryan Center this season?

He was at the Bryant game, talked to him. He said he wasn't sure about going to Daytona.
