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” […]
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
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,
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.
We should all take a field trip to South Kingstown for a game one of these days. Jimmy Baron finished with 17 points and Parfait Bitee added 14 points and seven assists to lead Rhode Island past George Washington 81-70 on Wednesday night.
The Wild Colonial South Water Street Doors open early today — 2:30 PM — for the Patriots/Chargers game, followed immediately by the Giants/Packers contest. Watch the games on a color television set!
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
I did it! Patriots/Giants Game on Channel 10! 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
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
With Oregon and Xavier losing this week, it’s lookin like there’s a damn good chance the URI men’s basketball team will make the ESPN/USA Today top 25 today for the first time in, like, a while. (Not sure how long exactly, but no NCAA tourney since 1999.) The 11-1 Rams have already beaten four teams
Dave Zirin is a great radical sportswriter, with whom I don’t always agree. But yesterday he had this dead-on excoriation of George Mitchell, which includes a tidbit that I’ve been unaware of: In a report that excoriates a “steroid era” in the sport, there is no recommendation for Selig to resign. This shouldn’t surprise because
I moved to Providence in part BECAUSE OF the snow — mixed with the hills. I was a passionate sledder in my youth, having grown up in a particularly hilly corner of the Maryland suburbs of DC. I have great memories of snow-days past: The 9th-grade ice-storm that had school closed for a whole week,
