Re: I Can't Believe I Have To Write This - In Defense of Dan
Sounds like you were pretty lucky (although I'm sure you don't feel that right now). Do you have to sleep sitting up? Worst recovery I ever had.
Anyway, best wishes for a speedy recovery. And, keep posting.

Wow that's scary thank god you're ok Rambone. I know people argue with you a lot on here but I think you're an extremely knowledgeable and great fan.rambone 78 wrote:There are 2 very opposite point of views on this board.

I just about checked out last night, when I got into a head on collision with a women who lost control of her car in the rain.
I have got more bruises and broken ribs than I care to count. Just breathing is a major effort. It's a miracle I'm even around to type this.
There are a lot of things more important then getting into pissing matches on this board.
So you'll see a very toned down version of me for a while.
Have at it boys, I'll be watching from the couch.
I hope you have a speedy recovery!
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Glad to hear you are ok Rambone. Head on collisions are so very dangerous as the impact is so great.
Relax and enjoy the rest of the season and of course the upcoming March Madness - best TV month of the year.

Seriously? Maybe Dan can win a game against Cooley before we make believe that Cooley has not been eating Dan's lunch.eli#10 wrote:GBG and Rod (especially Rod) please do a favor for the vast majority of contributors to this board and become Friar fans and go to their board. Blue Man is right on and it could not be said better.
One question for Rod--can you explain to us what Cooley did in terms of player development for Cotton, Dunn and Bentil?
You are so in love with Cooley you really should become a Friar. Look what happened to them last night without Bentil for half the game against a woeful DePaul team. Believe me the PC half court offense is nothing to write home about even with one of the best point guards in the country.
Puh-leeze go........

Re: I Can't Believe I Have To Write This - In Defense of Dan
We are loaded with players next year. I hope Dan introduces some wrinkles besides tough man to man half court defense. This team does not get nearly enough easy buckets, that needs to change to become the kind of team that knocks off very good teams.ramster wrote:Moving back from where? Here are some positives for ya...................Seawrightspostgame wrote:Ugh URI sucks. This year has taken a toll on my Rhody spirit.
Think Im moving back though. Season tickets!
We still have the rest of the season, then A10 Tournament.
Next year we should have the 2nd best recruiting class in the A10, UMASS 1st. But when it all plays out maybe our Class ends up better than UMASS.
Very Veteran Starting Team:
EC Mathews and Hassan Martin both in their 4th years. Both were picked 1st team all A10 as Juniors.
Terrell and Garrett will be Juniors
Iverson in his 3rd year of College
A lot of experience
Thompson, Akele, Berry will be Sophs competing for playing time and providing practice competition and game depth
Robinson competing for playing time in his 3rd year of college
Jeff Dowtin, combination guard who shoots the 3 well, passes extremely well, loves the open court, good height, long arms, excellent defensive player from the current #7 ranked HS team in the Nation!!
Langevine, Tertsea and Layssard are 3 big men who will push for playing time in their first year, will play hard in practices, will give this team good quality depth and help foundation for the years to come
Kool-Aid anyone?

no reason not to post, it's a message board.
Negativity is always welcome! Sometimes the reality of the situation needs somebody to hammer it home.....even tho my green Kool aide is yummy
It's sports which is really just entertainment after all for those not on or directly involved with the team.....

Ram, sorry man. The woman who totaled mine in July was texting. I was completely stopped and she was doing 50 and never hit the brakes. It took several months and lots of PT to get back to normal. Take it easy and don't push.rambone 78 wrote:There are 2 very opposite point of views on this board.

Re: I Can't Believe I Have To Write This - In Defense of Dan
This woman's car looks like it hydroplaned in the rain. Don't know any other details yet. There weren't any witnesses. In the police report she admitted she lost control 100% her fault. She was doing close to 50 with no brakes, and I tried to slow down but had no time to react otherwise.
I ended up on my roof. Good thing I had my seat belt on though. Like ramster said, I've never felt an impact like that, and I don't want to ever again.

Bone hope all is well. I think McGlade was the operator of the vehicle that hit you. She was texting the refs for our LaSalle game telling them to stick it to us

Wow, just read about your serious accident, rambone. My best wishes to you for a rapid recovery with no lingering effects. I hope that your insurance company goes to bat for you to insure you have no out-of-pocket costs, especially the rehab. Keep those posts coming they may be controversial to some, but they are from the heart.

My bruises have bruises. Wasn't there a movie called "The Color Purple?" That's me right now.
But thanks again everyone! Appreciate it.

Re: I Can't Believe I Have To Write This - In Defense of Dan
We all agree that EC was a huge loss. And there have been other less serious injuries. But this team should not be a .500 team without EC. And the lack of a big win is a bummer. So let's go 6-2 down the stretch, with a big win on Friday.
While I still think Hurley is a very good coach I don't see him as a finished product. He's still at the beginning of his career. His success will be partly determined on how he adapts as a coach. the changes in how the game are called is something he needs to adapt to. He needs to be a better coach at the end of games and coming out of timeouts. He needs to cool it on the sidelines.
Dan is very smart. I think he can makes these changes.
