Looking forward to some reports from this!

[theblueram]

My wife asked if we can wear costumes and get candy...LOL! I think we may show up for this!

[ace]

Just a shocking lack of commitment on your part to not attend in-person!

[Jdrums#3]

To echo Adam…reports will be much appreciated.

I am sure KB will be inundated with reports and opinions following the open scrimmage.

Do you just listen to yourself on here?

[Rhody72]

I hope they make it realistic.
1. Give Blue shirts to fans on one side and White on the other.
2. Cheer leaders for both side.
3. Encourage fan participation: cheering, booing, heckling.
4. Get Zebras who make bad calls.
5. Sell lots of beer.
6. Have dumpsters outside filled with kindling.
7. Get these players ready for D1 basketball.
9. Set a standard for fan participation at future home games!
10. What a great marketing opportunity.
11. Make the national news.

Pretty pretty good.

[rhodyrudder]

Do we need to lock this thread?
Wtf?
Ace made a joke, and 72 made 2 good points…
But it’s gonna be a long 4 weeks if the rest of it is any indication. Talk about a dumpster fire.

[reef]

Out of staters definitely look forward to these reports can’t wait

[section(105)]

Will be interested to see if Bassey and Ish, to see if their games have grown into the Coach Miller concepts.

[Jersey77]

I would expect to see a more developed Bassey and a better Ish and Carey.

Agree. Seen threads locked for less.
It was a good joke too, but alas.

What were 72’s 2 good points? I actually liked his/her innovative thinking.

My other eyes will will be on Jalen, mainly to see if the turnovers are reduced, and ten trying to figure out who is who

Regardless, are you the keeper of URI fandom? Are you the URI fan police, checking credentials? If you don't attend or watch X number of games, you don't quality as a URI fan?

[Rhody74]

I’m local but have family obligations that day. I, too, would appreciate detailed, intelligent reviews.

Sometimes, you just need to know and watch the room a bit. We're still working on developing Keaney+, which will have some of the features you're looking for, along with exciting new programming like Arches for Archie - a documentary series that explores modern architecture and its relation to the URI head basketball coach.

[Billyboy78]

So, it's great for us fans that we're having an open scrimmage. What about Rhody Madness for the students? Word is that there won't be one this year. Seems like a missed opportunity to promote student interest.

I would watch the hell out of that show

Everybody's favorites: T-shirts and cheerleaders.

Please don't promise something you can't deliver. That would be at the top of my binge list.

Just an incomprehensible set of replies here.


So no Rhody Madness? That’s a shame for the players, as they seem to like that kind of thing. Maybe they thought they wouldn’t get much student interest if they didn’t go all out with the music and everything. Not the biggest deal but I hope they put something together for next season.

Last year’s Blue-White Scrimmage was much earlier on Saturday October 9. This Scrimmage on October 29 is much closer to season start. Wonder if that is to make up to some extent for no Rhody Madness? Maybe they will try to make this more of a fun event. Last year’s Blue-White Scrimmage was lightly attended.

Guessing it's more likely to make up for the fact that we don't seem to have the traditional preseason exhibition game against a non-Division I school.

Yeah, that is surprising.
Even a charity exhibition game against UConn or Bryant would have been nice, like some mentioned below.

[Rhodymob05]

I think the time changed?

[Billyboy78]

I think the time changed?

Doors at 3. I think they're giving out candy and stuff before the scrimmage. I think the scrimmage itself is at 4. At least that's the way I understand it.

[eli#10]

Football game vs William & Mary is at 1:00 and will not end until 4-4:30. Why schedule the scrimmage to begin at 3:00 in conflict with the football game?

[R.Kelly150]

It’s a glorified practice why should we care they aren’t selling tickets. I would think unless it goes to the wire the Football game will be decided by 3:30-3:45. Let’s enjoy the game and a BB practice.

The game is at William & Mary
Just watch FloFootball on phone at the Ryan Center if it goes down to the wire. I’ve watched soccer games at the Ryan Center on my phone on ESPN+ just this past season while watching MBB and WBB games

Rhody Men's Basketball - Blue & White Scrimmage

The Rhode Island men's basketball team will hold a Blue-White scrimmage open to the public on Saturday, October 29th at 4:00 PM.

It will be the first look at the 2022-23 squad in person prior to the start of the season. This event is free of charge and all friends, family, and community members are invited to check out the team.

In addition to the full scrimmage we will also have:

Free Popcorn for the first 1,000 fans in attendance.
Free Commemorative URI Basketball poster featuring URI Legends for the first 1,000 fans in attendance.
Complimentary Beer Samples from our friends at Shaidzon for all fans 21+ with valid ID.
Trick or Treating on the concourse for kids. The trick-or-treating stations are hosted by URI student organizations and Athletics. All fans in a costume will receive a $5 Dunkin Card.
Post Scrimmage meet-and-greet with players and coaches.
Exclusive Season Ticket Holder Gift (1 per account) for all season ticket account holders in attendance.

[hrstrat57]

Sounds like midnight Madness family style.

Like it

[Jersey77]

Curious to see both team line-ups.
Also if Foumena even suits up.

Here is my guess:
Bray, Ish, Carey, Martin, Alex
Bassy, Weston, Louis (if he plays), Rory, Samb.

[Billyboy78]

[Rhody15]

Say what you want about Rhody Vault’s tweets/reporting (I’m guilty of it too) but he seems to have accomplished what he set out to do, get former players more involved.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence we’re all of a sudden having formers greats around the program the season after RV started his account.

Gotta give credit where credit is due.

[RhodyRams916]

This is really smart from the rhody ruckus to get students to show up.

[Billyboy78]

Dennis McGovern is even before my time as a Rhody student/fan. Love that we're getting these guys here. Rod used to talk about McGovern a lot.

[hrstrat57]

No doubt RhodyVault is helping our program.

“Silk” one of the best sports nicknames ever. Smooth as Silk yep, great elite player!

[Blue Man]

Agreed. This is his lane. Pick one thing and stick to it.

If he wants to become a "source" this is a good way to organically do that.

And I certainly agree that it's not a coincidence that we're seeing more of the old guard around this program in the time since he's brought the issue forward.

[steveystuds06]

I still don't like his little jabs at Archie. He praises Grasso, Cooley, and basically every other coach but he's still somewhat negative about our head coach.

[reef]

Silk Owens you are the man and a true Rhody legend !!

[Jdrums#3]

Enjoy the Rhody bb festivities today.

Just a friendly reminder that reports and photos of today’s open scrimmage will be greatly appreciated.
