slu72 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't know what the teams plans were for getting to Kingston, but it likely won't happen unless they left yesterday and are holed up in a local hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm pretty sure bizzleboy had enough King Arthur points to secure each member of the team, coaching and support staff a twin-bed smoking room at the local Knights Inn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 They won't have an issue landing in RI today. A warm front with rain came through last night into today. Temps went from below freezing to near 60. Your Sunday/Monday temps are then expected to move in tomorrow for several days of severe cold. Don't know where SLU is staying. They could have issues if they stay in Newport, as many opponents do, as they have to cross two long bridges (each approx 2miles long) to get across Narragansett Bay to the URI campus in Kingston. The bridges sometimes have restrictions with high winds and severe cold. If they stay near the airport or campus, there should be no weather travel issues as no precip is expected later this week.

slu72 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Ok, so they must be flying direct into either Newport or Providence. I was stationed in Newport back in the day, and can't recall ever experiencing 60 degrees in January. One time our destroyer got so iced up on a training cruise in Narraganset Bay in Jan we had to return early as it became top heavy w/ ice after just 2 days at sea in high seas and a brutal wind. When the N'easters came calling you didn't want to be at sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 They are probably landing at TF Green in Warwick which is the commericial Providence airport. Depending on their charter plane, Newport might be too small. Other possibility is to land at Quonset (was formerly the airfield for Navy Aircraft Carrier base pre 1973). Quonset, located in North Kingstown. is in the next town over from the URI campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJumpUp Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This Global Cooling is real, we are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, which traps cold and steadily drives down the planet’s temperature. It's time for a change people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I just hope they arrive safe and sound, get a good nights rest, get a nice pre game practice, and kick RI's arse tomorrow night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 They might want to stay away from certain seafood such as Upper Narragansettt Bay quahogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
