Brand new Rhode Island fans take to Twitter to express joy
By Kareem Gantt
The Rhode Island Rams bandwagon bus is about to get full.
If you were ever looking for a bandwagon bus to get on during the NCAA Tournament, look no further than the Rhode Island Rams.
They pulled out an early stunner, beating an Oklahoma Sooners club that basically went off a cliff after a fast start to the season. The Rams wore warmup shirts that said “We Came Here to Dance,” and that did just that, all over the over-matched Sooners’ faces.
Now that the Rams have nearly destroyed many brackets, it’s time to start rooting for the underdogs, and the Dancin’ Rams are certainly fitting the bill.
With any Cinderella, there must be bandwagon fans, those souls whose teams are either in the NIT or sitting home (once again) watching the all of the Madness. Here’s a Twitter snapshot of the Rhode Island Rams’ bandwagon bus that is on the verge of having its “Bus is Full” light turned on.
I really enjoy watching Young play. For some reason however, I was rooting for Rhode Island the entire time #MarchMadness #Rams

You get the sense that he’s an Oklahoma State Cowboys fan.
Rhode Island might just walk to the Final Four just off the strength of somebody being named Fatts Russell

The sheer brilliance of this tweet is blinding.
No, they wouldn’t have.
If y’all didn’t pick Rhode Island y’all was tripping. They were cold last year

Signed, the guy that didn’t pick Rhode Island last year.
Good thing. I have Rhode Island in the Final Four.
