Wait, that last sentence can’t be real right?

That is the most pathetic, tacky, and lazy response she could’ve given.

She should be embarrassed.

Should have told her to send the "URI decorations" to three places where it is known that there will be PC fans congregating

Holy crap, what an emBARONsing response from Michele Nota. Her box of decorations comment comes off as almost flippant although I doubt that was her intent.

I've talked with her a few times over the years and I can confirm she does suck.

LOL, always good to get confirmation.

Feel free to flood her email box with your disappointment for a pregame uri event. Having said that, is anyone gathering anywhere for a pregame tomorrow night?

when emBARONsing gets posted it’s like the bat signal for me

decorations ?!!!??

come down the Charleston - it will be 70 tomorrow and we’ll watch the he game at Mac’s and I’l even throw in some “decorations”…

My goodness is this a 3 year old party ?!?!

Question???
Does URI take advantage of being the away team and stay in a hotel in Providence?

I remember the days of car parades going up to the civic center but with that said I know easy Ed use to take advantage of URI being the home team and staying in Newport on the home teams dime.

So I wonder if URI now does the same.
Probably not because we know the athletic department does not want to ruffle any feathers.

Need new YOUNG BLOOD running alumni relations.

Two years ago, this pre-game event sold out within minutes. As soon as I received the announcement I tried to register. Sold out. In looking over the attendee list, it appeared that a few folks registered many guests that appeared to be PC fans. The event was at the Malted Barley. I made a stink with Alumni folks and eventually got in. Maybe they evaluated their handling this event and decided to pass this year.

FYI - a bunch of tickets were just released by PC

Tickets cheapest $60 per
Is that correct?

Keep the hot hands in and sit the cold one's until there is a spell to get them hot. The players need to be focused for the win, all game. All game, the focus is the win. LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!!

Let’s get out to a decent start early , would really stink to fall behind by let’s say 10 with 8 minutes gone by

Sadly yes

Plenty of tickets on StubHub at $45 each

Prices continue to drop

LOTTA talk on PC Twitter about how beating Oklahoma gets them ranked. Would not be mad to fuck that up

I’m sorry but I’m still in awe (in a bad way) about that nonchalant standoff-ish email the alumni relations staffer sent.

That response is wrong in so many ways.

They do a postgame event at Mohegan, but not a pregame 30 mins up the road against our rival?

Northwestern/Wash St >>> PC?

I guess...?

I don’t think PC would pay for our hotel.
I remember the blizzard game when the Newport Bridge closed and the dumbasses had to drive an hour back up to Providence through Fall River before heading south to Kingston.

Buckle up boys.



Tbh I don’t think it would be a miracle to beat them. I think we’re criminally underrated. We shoot better than them. We’re bigger than them up front. We’re capable of scoring and coming back. This video just makes me want to hip check someone through a window.

BELIEVE BOYS. RHODY RHODY RHODY

Dang...that NEVER gets old...FIRED UP. I'm going to Home Depot this morning. And I'm tired of hearing about crowds...rude people...unhelpful employees...parking problems...people in the way...NOT TODAY, boys. Today, I'm driving over there, marching directly to where the wireless remote controls are, grabbing a couple, and sailing right out through self-scan. Quick in, quick out, like a SEAL Team mission. And NO ONE...NO. ONE. ... should mess with me. Not today. LET's GOOO!

The URFAE is weak when it comes to things like this. They tend to turn and burn their employees and their event focus is aligned in different verticals these days.

Hell will freeze over before that happens. I probably have more URI “decorations” at home than what she would be sending.

So emBARONsing.

Can we stop bitching about things for one day this year?

Focus people. Same team.

Don’t let us win today…

Mission accomplished. Got a three pak for the same price as the two I was after. No one messed with me, it was perfect. Good things gonna happen today. Also, is it "Dog Day" at Home Depot? Dogs all over...nice.

If Rhody wins today, that should be most of us tomorrow...

Regardless of bitching or not bitching it is an important thing to call out.

Too early to start pregaming??

Neva too early, but with 730 tip, gotta pace.

Yes, pace is key

I’ve been to every one of these since freshman year.
Tonight is #37.
LFG

Go rhody

If we keep the game in the 60’s then I think we have a great shot of winning. Let’s gooooooooooo

Disagree. We don’t have to play a rock fight style. We’re a better shooting team than them. We’d rather be running and in transition.

PC despite their talent in the backcourt has a glaring deficiency when it comes to ball security. They turn it over.

We are exactly the team that can beat them.

It’s going to come down to team defense and communication in restriction of access to the basket, and dealing with Oduros spacing and Hopkins scoring.

Is Pierre available for them tonight?

1st drink down. Let’s gooooooo!!!

I have an extra seat for tonight section 120 4 rows behind the rhody bench. Just want it to go to a good rhody fan home. First person who texts me at 8607519057, it is yours….

Good points but I am not thinking rock fight as in poor shooting offenses. I am thinking a more deliberate game as I think their length and athleticism will give us trouble when we are on O so we will need to hold them in the 60’s and hit a high percentage of 2’s as I am not so sure we will get many clean looks from 3.

I am not sure we can run on them. Can we rebound on the D end sufficiently to get out and run to offset their length on D ? I am not so sure with big B on a limits restriction.

Can we turn them over at 15 plus turnovers to run ? Maybe or more likely. The Friars haven’t taken great care of the ball to date.

However, to limit TO’s in transition and take advantage with Oduro and Hopkins, I have a feeling the Friars will be deliberate and try to pound us down low when they are on O and get our bigs in foul trouble to then pound us down low even more. Then use that to open up clean looks from 3.

That said, it’s an emotional rivalry game so anything is possible. “Everyone has a plan until they are punched in the mouth.” - Mike Tyson

I sure would like to see us come out punching them first and run their ass.

Go Rhody!

Black sheep 4pm, let’s go Rhody!!!!!

Don't ever forget: FTF FTF FTF FTF

Wisconsin beat #3 Marquette today… If we beat PC, does that make URI > Marquette?! I don’t make the rules….

He's likely coming off the bench. He may be on a minutes restriction. Similar to Bilau.

Yeah thanks, I wasn't sure if he was ready and a game-time decision.
