I assume you mean Brendon Barrow. He hails from Ontario Canada and transferred as grad student from Stanford. He is 5'8", 190 lbs. Yes, our offensive line is not big and drives up the gut are often thwarted. This is big weakness when playing stronger teams.We saw that in the Western Michigan game.

More info in RI surfing. The Atlantic being smaller than the Pacific has an effect on break size and consistency. A wet suit is a definite requirement. Water temperature gets to about 72 degrees in summer, but the surf is flatter and you can go days with little activity. It’s probably best time for beginners. The scene picks up dramatically late summer/Fall especially if there is a hurricane in the Atlantic and then you can get 3-4 days of magnificent waves. The uniqueness is breaks here can come from two directions and the diversity is awesome. The best places to surf near URI are Narrgansett, Point Judith and Matunuck all about a 15-20 minute drive from campus. Further from campus in the direction of Newport are Goosewing Beach, Second Beach/Sachuest Point where the uniqueness lies in its south-west orienatation and Ruggles the only area in RI that you can get a bona fide XXL wave. While surfing on east coast plays second fiddle to California, the rugged coast of RI provides an interesting back drop of light houses, church steeples, domes, and Gothic towers you won’t find anywhere else.

Sorry for the diversion. Back to football.

I have been to the Davis campus. I have a friend who lived for many years in Roseville who got a Master's degree at UC Davis. I got acquainted and enjoyed the area on visits with him, tasted lots of wine. bought walnuts by the bushel, visited the State Capitol in Sacramento, and even attended a River Cats game. I was in awe of that team which Forbes once listed as the most valuable minor league franchise n the country. But the ticket prices were high and they charged for parking which is not true for what once was our local triple A team.

Also, Sacramento was the site of the 2017 NCAA MBB first round when we beat Creighton and then lost a heartbreaker to Oregon. Many URI fans made the trek to CA then, but I doubt many will be making the trip this Saturday's game. We are still very much a basketball school. You see that in the facilities difference.

Hello Aggies! URI fan looking forward to playing you guys. No question this will be a difficult game for the Rams. Despite our record, we have seen erratic play and lots of miscues especially early in season and that explains the URI loss to Brown. We started to clean that up later in season and ended with some strong performances, the CCSU game not included. Our QB is a real dude and game's outcome will be largely of his making.

Yes, I agree the CAA is not as strong as the Big Sky. and this fact makes us underdogs on Saturday. The CAA has deteriorated with the loss of Delaware, James Madison and Old Dominion to FBS and the impending departure of Richmond, William & Mary and Villanova to the Patriot League. We are now left with a few old rivals Maine and UNH and find ourselves with some southern schools which we have little in common To answer this board's question on who our Sac St. is - we have really none. It used to be Brown when the Ivy League was mighty, but otherwise UConn was our hated rival in all sports which ended when the Big East was created and when they later moved their football program up to the FBS level.

Some other info, URI is a land grant college and has agricultural beginnings. Our hated rivals in basketball at Providence College sometimes refer to URI as the Farm. Our colors are Keaney Blue, white and Navy blue. The light blue was developed by our legendary BB coach Frank Keaney who was also a chemistry professor. Keaney developed the color and the school adopted Rams as our mascot a few years before UNC who despite their Tarheels nick name use a Ram as mascot. They also stole our pep song. Oh, and we are a top surfing school based on east coast standards.
