Merry Christmas, referees ...
... you'll only have to put up with me one more time.
The Middle Tennessee State game will be my last home game for a long time, as Mrs. Red and I are pulling up stakes and moving to Florida. Rhody basketball is no longer enough to sustain us through these long winters.
One of the best parts of following the Rams has been this board and its predecessor(s), where I've been posting regularly since something like 1996. It's been great getting to know (in no particular order) Section 105, Ben, Neil, ATP, Milan, Rudder (who I believe has the last wearable "JUST SAY NO" t-shirt), Stevie P and EZBuckets (apologies if I left anyone out). I'll still be hanging out here, applauding our success, complaining about our failures and fending off the trolls from a certain institution. But, after 26 years, I'm giving up my tickets and we're headed to someplace sunny and warm.
Maybe I'll start a South Florida chapter of the Slow Break Club.

Good luck, Red. Congrats! Part of what makes this place great is that it shrinks the world for Rhody basketball fans.

Good luck Red! Spent a big chunk of my life in the West Palm Beach area.
We both have kids that went to that "leg humper" university. Keep carrying the torch against that other un-named college on the site of a mental institution.

Red, hate to see you go! I sometimes mention that I travel an hour and a half each way to Kingston. Let it be known that Red travels further than that. Stay well and enjoy life! Have not and will not quit...that ram fan

Thanks for all the kind words. Mrs. Rex and I are buying a house on a golf course in West Palm Beach. If you're in the neighborhood, PM me and you can come by for a 'Gansett. We're putting 10 30-packs on the moving truck.

You’ll have to get up for some games next year though, it’ll be the best home OOC we’ve ever had!
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.

Won’t be the same without Red in Kingston, but happy you have lots of fun ahead of you in FL. I will try to come down to see you at the next game.

Good luck in Florida. Looks like you picked a good year to get out of here. Glad you were around to experience the past two seasons after such a long drought.

Saw Red yesterday at TF Green. We were on the same flight down to Fort Lauderdale. West Palm Beach is about an hour north of me so we will have plenty of opportunities to get together, have a couple Gansetts, and cheer on the Rams.

Congrats Red. Enjoy the warm weather. Maybe the group could get together for a pregame beer in either the Alumni Longue or the beer tent before the Middle Tenn game.
