Pike at Bruce

[RUBigFrank]

Coach was at the tailgate at MetLife stadium.

Great concert- great seeing the coach.

Special thanks to Patrick for putting together a great tailgate.

My friends got pictures with him and able to speak to him in depth about many things.
I for one am EXCITED for this year and beyond based on what I heard

Well, let us know some things.

 

[BigLou]

Well, let us know some things.

I had the chance to speak to him:
- We’re going to be really good
- Good shooting team
- Gavin Grffens is really good
- Ace Bailey is the best player in the country, the other guy is ranked #1 because he’s going to Duke
- Some NIL promises won’t be kept
- Palmquist was promised a single dorm room and was put in a triple with 2 freshman.

The Palmquist thing is utter disrespect by the team that recruited him. Jesus.

Thought Oscar was coming back?

He is back. It was Elon who screwed I’m on housing.

All that Tesla moneya and Elon pulls that crap? Hope they go out of business. ‍

Harper?

OH!!!!! thought it was RU were he was living with 2 freshman.....that seemed odd to me.

Is the NIL promises not kept a generalization or a RU thing.

I think I am the stupid one thinking your last 2 comments were RU things and not general things. I couldn't figure out why Pike would say those things but in this context makes perfect sense.

 

[RU_PAYBACK]

Did he do a keg stand?

We’re talking about Pike, not Pat Hobbs.

 

[RC1978]

Thanks Big Frank for the shirt!

First time-long time. Went last night. Not the same Bruce. Not the same show. OK. I get it he's 73 but now I know I am done. Old fart crowd didn't help either. Left the lights off begging for an Oncor but nobody gave a crap and they just said "goodnight".

Huh? He always turns the lights on for the encore and has done the same amount of songs each show of the tour for the most part. (27-28). What are talking about begging?

Begging? Lol

I was also at Friday's show (also my first Bruce show ever) but had the opposite reaction. I had a great time and thought the energy he brought was awesome and he put on a great show, one I will never forget. It was a crowd mixed with many age groups, in my section it ranged from the 20s to the 70s, but most were on their feet all night dancing and singing.

And he has been closing the shows on the tour a set of songs in the encore, Fridays starred with Born to Run. Most shows end with Tenth Ave Freezeout and I'll See You in my Dreams, this show was no different. And no, he wasn't begging for more encores, that's how he ends his shows.

Sorry you didn't have a good time, I would think you're probably in the minority there. If I wasn't going to the RU game today I'd be tempted to go see Bruce again tonight.

He turned them off again for dreams and left them off for quite some time. This was my 6 or 7th Bruce show and it was in Jersey. He's done different before.

I never ever said I didn't have a great time.

I think the NIL thing could be a reference to Mulchahy and Washington

I was at Friday's show and also went to the UBS Arena show on Easter in LI. I'm not sure if it was due to his recent illness that forced the Philly show cancellations, but he didn't have the same energy as the UBS show. Played his songs and got off the stage. None of the stories from the arena shows before the songs. No individual band intros with solos, no spotlight on Jake Clemons, etc. Show Friday was about 10 minutes shorter even though he played one more song.

Not saying it wasn't a good show and I didn't have a good time, but there was definitely a different vibe.

Best show of the tour tonight!

Yeah what a great show..ending on jersey girl was awesome

I was there tonight. Excellent concert. Thought the band and Springsteen sounded great.

NIL - I assume by other programs.

 

[rucoe89]

Did Mulcahy end up signing or joining anywhere? Tomorrow if first day of school at a lot of places back east. West Coast has quarter system (including UW) so he may have more time as they don't start for another 2 to 3 weeks.

Big Lou - Great job. Good stuff here. The 4 above in particular.

My thoughts:
Fernandez and Griffith bring a lot to the table as far as perimeter shooting.
Doesn't surprise me that Bailey is actually better than Cooper Flagg.
The NIL thing has to be about Mulcahy. Really good job that you guys got that quote out of him.
The Palmquist thing is just nuts. That has nothing to do with NIL. Just Elon being dumb.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

He should have asked Bruce for $ to keep Harper home

FWIW, Paul still listed on UW roster, but his twitter bio says;

I think UW will stink this season and the HC will get fired.

But good luck to Paul!
