On the road with the Brown Bears here in the Big Apple where the Columbia Lions await our visit. The snow is coming down hard here! They're calling for 9-12" in thses parts. just talked to the wife who told me they're expecting far less back home in little Rhody.
If the Bears can pull off the weekend sweep of Columbia and Cornell, then the possibility of winning the Ivy League becomes very real. Anything less than a sweep and the Big Red will have all but wrapped up the title.
Watched the Rhody-UMass game on ESPN2 last night. A good shooting night for URI, but the turnovers (20) were a killer, particularly the one by Bitee and the one by Seawright in the games final minutes. Also, the Rams HAVE TO play better "D" or they're going nowhere. Scoring 91 is great but means nothing when you give up 98! And did anyone on URI even TRY to force Chris Lowe to his right? He obviously loves to go left and shredded the Rhody D by doing so. The Rams should have been sitting on his left hand forcing him to go right all the time. Bad job by URI there. And you have to wonder if Jimmy Baron is becoming URI' version this year of Weyme Efejuku (sp?) last year for the Friars. Remember the saying last year, "as Weyme goes, so go the Friars?" It looks like that's the motto for Rhody as of late, "as Jimmy goes, so go the Rams."
There's an article in today's NY Post about Tim Welsh possibly getting fired at season's end. Tim is very well liked and respected here in NY because of the fine job he did at Iona. They even refer to him as a great offensive coach which is hard to argue because statistically, his teams are usually very strong on that end of the floor.
Stay warm!
Talk to you later.
