URI Basketball Cliches

[ramster]

I read a post about all the things URI has to do for the UMASS game and I got to looking up sports cliche memes......
But this got me laughing
What are your favorite cliches used on KeaneyBlue?

[rhodylaw]

Least favorite and cringeworthy for those of us who lived through that time on KB and projo boards - “da process”

[Rhody15]

Anything with CUT BAIT and emBARONsing is very annoying.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Most used here by far -> One game at a time. (When winning multiple games at once would obviously be way better)
Then there's ... 'strange things happen whenever we go to _____' and, 'It's always 8 against 5 whenever we play _____.'

[Obadiah]

We have to step it up.

[ramster]

Too funny 208, you got me laughing with that 8 on 5

I’m aspecting some good ones from doom.... oops I mean Rambone

Bill Koch just said this in the UMASS game write up, hadn’t heard this one before.

Rams will be forced to manufacture their own energy and take the occasion for what it is.


Like the Rams are going into the locker room at halftime to manufacture some energy for the 2nd half

[Billyboy78]

Must win........although right now, it's not a cliche.

[RamIt!]

He must be talking about the fact that there are thousands of tickets left. A little disappointing. I figured we'd follow up the VCU game with a decent crowd. Hopefully, we get 2000 students to fill it up a little,

It’s a trap game

Tuesdays have no feel.

Well done

Beat UMASS! Take them 1 at a time and the ratings will take care of themselves. Control what you can control. Get better. Keep up the intensity. Play as a team. Come to play your best every game. Don't look beyond your next opponent. Any team we play from now on can beat us.

Typical low key dig from Koch, surprisingly it’s been a while since he’s had one.

"Typical dig from Koch" has always been one of my faves

Haha yup this is a Koch classic.

I mean I’m right, Section 104 just provided you with tweets.

It’s not a bad cliche if it’s true. I’ve never seen Bill be off on an attendance take. In a season like this, anything less than 80% full is an embarrassment to this fan base.

Which is saying something because this fan base is pretty awful for any non-major games. And even when we do get crowds, many elderly folks...so winded from clapping.. leave by the under 4 time out.

Any Koch bashing gets old when we’ve established time and time again that he’s a neutral party we’re lucky to have objectively covering this team at a high level.

The amount of people I saw clearing out before the buzzer on Friday night... not that it doesn’t happen at 98% of the games, it simply astounds me. It’s like leaving church right after communion. You’re still going to be sitting in traffic anyway, people.

[JimSidd]

“There’s no truth to the rumor” ..... wait .... no .... never mind. I had Bunky in my head.

[Rhody83]

It’s a trap game

Definitely this. Stupid phrase and grossly overused.

David Cox chimes in.......

[reef]

Cox has been doing an outstanding job he has exceeded my expectations by a country mile

This is why he is the HC!

[ramster]

I don’t know if this is a cliche but I can’t stand “laser focus”

It’s used a ton in the business world. Like do they teach that at Harvard?

What does it mean? I’ll focus on something , ok, but then that’s not good enough, I’m told I need to give it a laser focus?

[Obadiah]

Agreed, not only is it an inappropriate phrase, it misses the fact that the best teams have a broad concept of what they are all about and the various ingredients to a winning program. Laser focus is like spending time zeroing in on a weed.

[Taylor Swift]

“Let’s table” “laser focus”.

Why do people think they’re important for using those types of lame ass corporate terms? Okay middle management vanilla Gary.

[ramster]

I don’t know but Laser Focus drives me nuts.
