Did anyone else see the "Marriott BonVoy" commercial with Grant Hill airing tonight during the First Four game? Our very own Rhody Ram is prominently displayed, pretty cool!

Ah, ok. I missed the entire selection show helping out a neighbor seal up her dryer vent from mice, great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

We're the current outlier in that group....VCU is a lot closer to an NCAA tourney program.

It's fun though.

You must not have actually seen the commercial- the Rhody mascot is clearly there (along with VCU’s Rodney and UNC’s Rameses) and is called out by name.

Wonder how we got included in this. Maybe an alum in the Marriot Bonvoy marketing department or whatever creative agency they hired?

I had a grad assistant gig with Clay Sink. He asked me how can we up the profile of URI. This was 1998. I told him, go to Keaney Gym. Read USA Today. This University is National. It's BASKETBALL! I also told him the the weeds and crap are covering the granite sign we just put in at the entrance of Upper College road.
