seemed like a once in a lifetime sort of occurrence to pair up two things i love -- italy and rhody hoops. will try to post as often as possible, hopefully seeing 2 practices and 2 games. i am sure laprey will do more than enough in terms of sharing info and pics, and is likely much more tech saavy than i am. buon viaggio rhody nation...saro in Italia la prossima volta vi parlo. Go Rhody!!!!

Someone should tell them to watch out for any Gypsies. I loved going to Italy. Such a good time.

A wonderful trip for a great group of guys! A just and deserved reward. I know their families are enjoying their exploits even more than all of us. Be proud Rhody fans.

Great pictures.

Glad to see Aaman is there. I thought it was mentioned earlier this week that he wasn't going or something? Obviously I got that wrong, which is good.

The question was whether or not he's going to play, which remains to be seen. No need to rush it if he's still hurt.

If anyone is FB friends with Andrea Hurley,
she's posted some family pics as well as the team.
Coaching staff wearing Bing Crosby (Bruno Mars style for you kids)style hats.
She said they were awake for 36 hours straight,
before deciding to sleep.

Love it! We're only a day or two into the trip and we're already getting tons of content sent back.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Wow! Even Frank Crapano covering us.
Speaking of media and OT, Scott Cordischi has been named Director
of Football Operations at Brown.
Good for him.

Wonder if that will affect his weekend shows with John Rooke ....

I would think his broadcasting career is over.

Ben · Unread post by **Ben** » 10 years ago

I love the modern era for following sports. Even in the late 1990's you had very limited information compared to now. It's a great time to have an interesting team to follow. We're getting much more info and access than we've ever seen at URI.

My brother and I played the gelato stand game last time we were over. We experienced every gelato stand between ischia and rome (there's several). I lifted and ran every day and still came home 12 pounds heavier after 2 weeks. I have faith that he'll find a way.

Given the uptempo style that Hurley wants to play, it shouldn't be a problem.

neil · Unread post by **neil** » 10 years ago

I thought during the practice last week they were using a 24 second shot clock for some of their "scrimmages". Obviously, coach is always prepared!

Looks like Mike Aaman is moving painlessly in the practice. I guess his foot is okay.
