All things URI

Putting last night's "Shut the hell up Gotlieb, Vitale, et al" win behind us, the Cuse return home Saturday night to host the URI Rams. This Idiot still remembers the '88 first round loss to the Rams. Tom Penders blowing kisses to the crowd with his flowing curly perm locks is just one bitter memory burned into my brain. Anyone else recall the CBS coverage of that game? You swear Syracuse caused URI Dad Tom Garrick Sr.'s blindness. I really should let this go, since it's coming up on 20 years ago. No one holds grudges like idiots.

Moving on, T3I give a quick recap of all things Rhode (and Road), Island, and Rams:

Damien Rhodes: Thumbs up. Local kid who stayed home. Although I thought he ran a little soft at times. But then again, I'm an Idiot.

Rocky Road Ice Cream: Thumbs up. It's pretty rare when we find fault with anything ice cream related.

Long Island Ice Tea: Thumbs down. If you are holding onto one of these in a bar, you had better be buying it for a chick.

Early 2000's St. Louis Rams: Thumbs down. "The greatest show on turf" really should have one another Super Bowl or two.

Thunder Road: Thumbs up to a classic Bruce song.

Ramrod: More Bruce, more thumbs up. This is one great Bruce song to hear live in concert.

Roadrunner: Thumbs up to the cartoon. This entry brought to you by ACME.

Fantasy Island: Thumbs down. That little person yelling "Da plane!" really bothered me.

"You know the road ain't no place to start family" Thumbs up, preach one Steve Perry.

Road Rash: Thumbs up. A classic Sega video game.

The Road Warrior: Thumbs down. I never got the whole "Mad Max" thing.

The Road Warriors: Thumbs up to a bad tag team from the 1980's.

Temptation Island: Thumbs down to this Fox TV trash. Although I believe fellow idiot Boss actually liked this show.

NY Islanders: Wait a minute, what is this hockey thing again?

Road Rules: Thumbs up to the first few seasons. The whole Road Rules-Real World Challenge nonsene......big thumbs down.

Dumb and Dumber: Thumbs up to this classic flick set in Providence. "Kick his @ss Sea Bass!"

Sign me up in the "pro" temptation island camp - that show was great - trash-tastic even.
