Hey, the Brown vs URI game has a trophy and everything. 107 games played going back to 1909. Since the 1981 game we've played for the Governor's Cup and the trophy series is pretty close, with URI...

To me UConn didn't make a mistake moving up. How many schools were/are in a position to go right from 1AA/FCS to a BCS/Power 4/5 conference and are handed a $91 million dollar stadium?
Looking...
UMass is the big example. They shouldn't have moved up in the first place. If they were going to move up they should have made the move a decade earlier when the program was running well. They should...
The heir apparent for Hill is Devin Farrell, who should have three years of eligibility left. He's a three star (247sports) transfer from Virginia Tech that they had ranked as the 56th best...
Temple was in the MAC for football at the time, so the MAC was hoping they could eventually use the old school basketball rivalry to get Temple and UMass to join in all sports. I can see the logic at...
Normally it's not a good thing when you're cleaning out a 2-9 team, but our defensive backs coach came from Sacred Heart, so hopefully he's got extra insight into the players we're getting. That...
This is silly. There is zero chance Providence would ever allow us in the Big East and there's zero reason for Fox, or another TV partner, to insist on adding a second school from the Rhode Island TV...
UMass. In theory I could say UConn as well, but at least their FBS decision makes sense even if it was executed like crap. UMass still plays in virtually the same stadium as they were when they were...
You're not wrong, and it's not a great place to be. We're completely at the mercy of the Big East with no chance to ever join ourselves. Yet, at the same time there's a little bit of we need to do...
Too long, didn't read. Dan Hurley is a damn miracle worker, was successful at URI, and left the program in a position to succeed when he left. We hired the wrong replacement, kept them a year too...
David Cox was handed the reigns after Dan Hurley left for UConn, he was an assistant through most of Hurley's tenure and was head coach in waiting the last few years under Hurley. We would have...
And we've got some posters on our message board already talking about firing Archie Miller or saying he should be in the hot seat. After 43 games at URI, after walking into a completely gutted...
Being in the A10 for men's basketball and America East for everything else wouldn't hurt my feelings at all, though obviously that option wouldn't be on the table.
We definitely fit in better with...
Bowes was before my time, why him over Sean McDonnell? 14 years in a row making the playoffs is remarkable.
If the Atlantic 10 becomes a consistent one bid conference, then yeah, I'd rather be in the America East than the Atlantic 10. You wouldn't know it because of how deep our rebuild is after Dan...
Holy Cross to the A10? Why would there be any interest in that? Really the best plan would be for Fordham to move to the Patriot League in all sports.
I concur. Frankly I was always surprised the CAA didn't make us follow through with the move to NEC when we announced that back in like 2012.
I still think the best way forward with Delaware...
Rhode Island would absolutely turn down a CAA all sports invite, and that's even with the A10 being the worst it's ever been.
Bryant is losing Big South-OVC Offensive Player of the Year junior QB Zevi Eckhaus and second team senior DB Lake Ellis to the transfer portal
...
Sophomore third team CAA LB A.J. Pena has announced he'll be entering the portal. He was 4th in the conference in sacks this season.
The A10 would be fine as is if we got rid of Fordham, Duquesne, La Salle, and probably Loyola Chicago. It's a little bit more expansive than you'd like, but really it's the teams that never make the...
Four Rhode Island players have already announced for the portal, headlined by CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year Syeed Gibbs.
I've heard of CoC being a candidate, not Hofstra. Neither one should be a candidate.
Personally I would welcome Temple back in a cocaine heartbeat. Even better if we could dump the dreck like Fordham, Duquesne, La Salle, and Loyola Chicago at the same time.
Boy howdy, do I have some info about their football conference affiliation from 1986 to 1996 that will blow your mind...
Honestly that's just a placeholder name. I'd prefer to form an independent...
