Expect this line to go down considerably as the smart money comes in on the Rhody side.

Why do you think the smart money will come in on URI? As bad as Kansas was last year, we were pretty much just as bad.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
I know a lot of KU alums and some ex FB players (one famous) and they tell me they are not that good.
Plus,am hot wired into Vegas and vibe is that this call is a close one.
For certain,there are a lot of eyes on this game.

Kansas was beat 66-7 last year by a FCS team.
Portland state.
We could compete with them for a few quarters.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
It must have just went up again.
Vegas has always been popular with visitors from lower midwest.
So homer chalk eaters are laying in on KU.
East Coast sharpies prefer an old school,recreational approach to their sports investing.

Boy, we have been a pathetic football program...just reading that article felt bad. When they convert your yards per carry to inches per carry... The good news is...nowhere to go but up! looking forward to an improved product this year.

Lucky we didn't go down a division to play with Bryant. The Baseball, Soccer, Track etc. teams could have used the scholarships. You could still go and see games bui maybe we could gain an a foot per carry.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
We said we were going to move down. I don't believe we ever really did. As far as it hurting recruiting being hurt.Were we moving down because we were good at the CAA level or because we were not able to compete?
FYI- I do hope that at the end of this season I need to eat my words because it was successful.

Fewer scholarships due to NEC requirement
Lesser caliber of recruit that we did get
Some potential good re ruins who were considering us backed out once news was announced

I hope we give them a game, this program deserves it. After the NEC move, quarterbacks punching girls and 1 win seasons and everything else that's happened, the players and coaches still work their asses off. CMON RAMS.

I wish Rhody could do a whole year of buy games. If you're going to go 0-10 might as well get paid in the process.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
The money URI receives for the Kansas game is 4 times (not a typo) 4 times the total gross receipts for ALL of the home games at Meade Stadium.
Thorr states that the money from this game does not just go to support football but the athletic department as a whole.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
But I also think it puts the attendance in some perspective too. Money from attendance is only $125,000 yet attendance gets a ton of discussion and comparing to prior years etc yet this $500,000 is big money.
Also we were only getting $150,000 to play at Gillette so this is more than triple the Gillette payday.
Keep in mind too that the players very much want to play games like this on the road. They are all looking forward to Saturday's game.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
Watched the first half of the game on ESPN3. This team looks extremely weak and not very disciplined. I know we are playing a Big 12 team, but the size, speed and talent difference is night and day. I know our kids and coaching staff are trying their best but we do not have much talent, especially at QB, its going to be another long year playing in the CAA. Not sure what everyone is seeing in the uniforms, they look very ordinary, the anchor is nice but needs to be more pronounced... I see 2 wins based on our schedule.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
It's the combo of the helmets, the colors (esp. the clean white on white with the Keaney/navy contrasts) and the anchors.
I don't know how many wins we will have this year, but I'm not ready to say 2 because of the result of a buy game against a P5 team. Kansas is bad for a Big XII team but theoretically they should be able to win the CAA every year. I actually thought we looked not as overmatched as I expected.

I dont know, we must be watching different games, URI has been completely over matched in every aspect of this game since the opening kickoff.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
Well on both lines they can't hold up. If you get dominated on the line it makes it hard to compete. But they hung tough for a while. When I made that comment it was 28-6 well into the third quarter, which isn't terrible. But since then things have gotten away from us pretty badly.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
Unfortunately this doesn't do much for my hopes for this season. Kansas is approaching offensive numbers they haven't seen in almost a decade. I looked up when we announced the NEC move...it was 2010 and we announced that we were staying in 2012. So we have been recruiting at this level for 4 years, how long is the NEC move going to be an excuse? Not saying it still isn't, but when does that end? Seems like it should be this year or next.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
Two fumbles right off bat-and 14-0.
Thought Rhody ran the ball good.
McKoy lived up to criticism-loves to tuck ball in and run. Did not pass ball worth a plug.
Can't believe they did not pull him and put Vazzano in (or somebody else)!!
What ever lesson was taught by leaving McKoy in is a forgettable one.
Punter is overweight and is bad. Needs to be pulled.
Oh-BTW-did anyone see the CAA scores this weekend?? Schedule just got a lot tougher.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
I tried to watch this team over breakfast. They make me sick with the unforced turnovers, missed extra points, etc. I can understand being smaller, slower, etc, but stupid mistakes to turn the ball over and give points away are even more disruptive for a team like ours without much explosive scoring potential. Ball security is part of "the basics". If coaches/players don't get it, then they can enjoy another 10 losses this year.

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
That is what is so discouraging to see.
Poor fundamentals=bad coaching.
Was never sold on Fleming or his staff. You get what you pay for, which isn't much.
4 wins this year is a major stretch. This is the year, with the supposedly better recruits, that the turnaround was to start.
Yeah, sure.
How long is this administration going to put up with this crap?

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
I watched the whole game last night and what a range of motions. Game started I was pumped, first KU series I like okay this could be good, then Cooper muffs the PR and I said okay it's just jitters, then came the oh here we go again emotions, to the end of the game emotion of this team still sucks. We will be lucky to squeak out 2 wins this year. Preseason thoughts of beating an Albany or Stony Brook went out the window this weekend, coupled with a better UNH, UMaine, Elon and we have no shot of getting out of the basement.
On another note, while watching Rhody on the iPad, I was watching UMASS v FLa on tv. Announcers were talking about UMASS being paid 2.2mil to play Florida and will get paid 1.5mil to play South Carolina later this year. Almost 4mil for two games. Maybe Rhody can get a SEC team on its schedule. 72-6 loss for 1.5-2million wouldn't be a bad thing. Lol

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!
I don't think an SEC or even a Big12 team is going to pay a FCS (Old 1-AA) that much money(over $1 million), not unless you are NorthDakota State.
Umass may be able to turn around the cost playing game. Even so, Umass is improving, it could be a good move going to FBS for tthem.
