Xpose Takes You To The Point Of No Return (Ah Ah Ah)

2PM ON 13/02/2009
BY Matthew Lawrence

Tonight at 8, CoxSports is premiering Xposé, an eight-part documentary series focusing on a variety of people that could probably all beat me up should they ever feel like it.  Each episode focuses on a different local group: the Providence Roller Derby, the Newport Gulls baseball team, mixed martial artists, URI football coach Darren Rizzi, Parkour enthusiasts, the National Guard, custom car manufacturers, and, um, people turning twenty-five.

Because I live in the distant past I don’t actually know what Cox Sports is, but I’m sure that those of you with your fancy cable televisions will know how to act accordingly.

It’s not like there’s nothing else on

5PM ON 13/11/2008

Boston Patriots Tina Fey on ‘30 Rock’ will do just fine. Television dollars are slowly destroying professional baseball, why should football be any different?  First of all, these night games run too late for working stiffs and kids to watch anyway, and now this NFL Network once again fails to see that the Patriots’ market is/was more than just the Boston area.  You will not be able to watch tonights’ game without signing up for that extra NFL channel unless you live near enough to Boston to get Channel 5. And speaking of children watching football, last Sunday’s game was carried on CBS at 1PM in the afternoon and included promos for the network’s crime shows — one featured a close examination and discussion of a severed hand and another showed someone plucking out the eye of a girls’ frozen corpse. Pass the nachos.

Amazing Race (discussion) Tonight at Brown

2PM ON 14/04/2008
BY BH

TONIGHT – William C. Rhoden, of the New York Times and that ESPN snoozefest Sports Reporters fame, is appearing tonight at Brown for a discussion regarding race and sport in America. He will appear alongside former Bears and current Oregon State University (way to mess that one up, PC) men’s basketball coach and certifiable “next-big-thing” Craig Robinson, as well as Brown junior student-athlete Nicole Burns.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Brown prof Jim Campbell and begins at 7 p.m. in the Andrews Dining Hall. The talk is free and open to the Brown community, as well as communities of other colors (that is, the general public).

If you have at least a passing interest in both sports and race relations, you should probably go… who knows, there may even be snacks.

Poor, poor Rams

9PM ON 01/03/2008
BY Dave Segal

Sad Eyed Saint Bernard They won today, but need to beat Charlotte next weekend just to get back to .500 in the A-10, even after starting 19-3. And it seems like they need to make it to the conf championship game to have a real shot at the tourney.

Cornell clinched the Ivies, and PC is at 4-11 in the Big East. So it looks like there won’t be much post-season for RI schools this year.

URI faltering?

8AM ON 14/02/2008
BY Dave Segal

Basketball Lost to Temple last night. Lost to Mass, and barely beat Fordham. And only 6-4 in the Atlantic 10. They’re still 20-5 over-all, but uh-ohs…

PC is miserable. But Brown’s second in the Ivies, and within striking distance. Are they the dark-horse RI candidate to make the tourney?

Also, what’s with Cornell leading at 6-0, with Penn and Princeton in the middle of the pack? The last time neither Penn nor Princeton won the conference was 1988. And the last time before that was 1961.

URI goes to 18-3

9AM ON 31/01/2008
BY Dave Segal

Rams Looks like they’re inching back towards a top-25 spot:

The Rams improved to 18-3 (4-2 A-10), equaling their best start since the 1987-88 season when they went 18-3 through their first 21 games.

ESPN is hosting an online chat with URI’s guard Parfait Bitee today at 1pm.

Rams win (and make national news) again

3AM ON 04/01/2008
BY Dave Segal

URI Rams Just moved up in the rankings and beat Farleigh Dickinson. And this one’s from the AP:

No. 23 Rhode Island (14-1) is off to the program’s best start since 1946-47 heading into conference play at 20th-ranked Dayton on Wednesday. The Rams cracked the national rankings for the first time since November 1998, and could climb in the polls following a 94-63 demolition of Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday that extended their winning streak to nine games and kept them undefeated at home this season.

Rhode Island and Dayton (12-1) have raised the profile of the Atlantic 10 conference, which last season sent just two schools to the NCAA tournament. The early success could bode well for the Rams to get their first NCAA bid in nine years.

I did it! Patriots/Giants Game on Channel 10!

Patriots cheerleader

The NFL Network has seen the writing on the wall. An agreement has been reached, and the final game of the regular season will be carried over-the-air on NBC Channel 10. Once they saw that the Dose was on their case they totally caved. (There will be no living with me now.)

Atlantic 10 making waves

5PM ON 26/12/2007
BY Dave Segal

Basketball Blindly following the crowd, I’ve decided that I’m foremost an Atlantic 10 fan this year, for the first time since the 7-foot-1 Yinka Dare — who sadly died of a heart attack a few years ago — wowed the crowds at George Washington’s Smith Center in the early 1990s. (I think Dare’s what first turned me into a college bball fan.)

Jim Baron and the URI Rams make the Washington Post today, in an article mostly about the surprising strength of the A-10:

“I think the league is as strong as it has ever been,” Rhode Island Coach Jim Baron said. “What it has done during the nonconference season really speaks for itself. We have definitely earned what we have done. Everyone is really taking a strong stance on strengthening their schedules.”
