    OT: Any advice on buying USC away game tix? StubHub wanted a $98 per ticket fee

    The harder to get ticket will be a parking pass. I know the metro is outside the stadium and I assume Uber is an option but not sure either are the safest options late at night. I don't think finding parking "off-stadium" and walking is a great idea either particularly at midnight. Currently...

    OT: Best concert you have ever been to?

    No Doubt in a SoCal bar that maybe fit 200 SRO. Jackson Browne acoustic on a deck overlooking the Pacific on New Years Day 13 years ago English Beat in a raucous SoCal bar Pearl Jam, Berkeley CA stadium Hootie and Toad TWS playing together when they were both at the height of popularity at a...

    Rutgers/UCLA 2025 Cannonball Run

    Did a couple of there and backs alone. Anything over 12 hours a day driving at high speed is sketch IMO. The toughest part is the straight stretches of road in the West. Before ipods and satellite radio, bordem was painful even with a decent cd music selection. 20 minute naps a couple of times a...

    Under appreciated Christmas Movie appreciation thread

    8 Bit Christmas- a sleeper 2021 release and if raised in early 80’s it has lots of relevance. Clearly influenced by A Christmas Story. Not the best title for a general audience IMO. Strong performances from Neil Patrick Harris, Steve Zahn, David Cross and the child actors. My son made me...

    Ride to Boston (Friday)? Just Lost Mine!!!!

    1986 New Brunswick to Boston College in a Mustang GT late night roadtrip with radar detectors and no traffic to the get to the game. We made it in a little under 3 hours. Insanely dangerous mini northeastern Cannon Ball Run.

    OT: NJIT

    Attended NJIT in the mid 80’s before transferring to RU. Took the subway from Newark’s Penn Station. Really sketchy to walk from Penn Station but subway was frightening too. Eventually bought a beater of a car which of course broke down in really bad areas. This was before cell phones - don’t...

    Hog boys

    What was the name of the Arkansas lady that posted a video around the same time. She wore a hog snout and sang a creepy song in support of the team. It was so weird i could not stop watching.

    OT: Best concert you have ever been to?

    I was there too! Did not have tickets but it was easy to get into... My best memories are the concerts at small venues. Saw No Doubt at a small bar in Santa Barbara that opened out onto an alley. The entire alley was packed. Hardly a bad show at the Santa Barbara bowl - a hidden and smallish...

    OT: Ongoing Golf Thread

    COVID having reverse impacts to golf. All my favorite tracks are packed in SoCal. I use to find an open slot particularly later in the day and squeeze in 18 under three hours. Not anymore. I’m lucky to find a single any day of the week and you gotta expect to walk. I think courses increased time...

    OT: National coin shortage

    I have not carried cash/coins going on five years. Dumped the wallet too and keep a credit card/debit card/drivers license in slots on the mobile phone case. Originally stashed a few $20 bills in the mobile phone case just in case but never used them. Obviously don’t go to cash only locations...

    OT: Ford Bronco

    No insight whatsoever but does the continual reconstituting of Chrysler (Mercedes>Fiat>Renault) make the Jeep brand ripe for acquisition at some point by GM? Sure I see some Challengers (seems to be the police interceptor car) and of course there are Dodge/Ram trucks and a minivan but what else...

    What was the first Rutgers game you attended

    October 1976 vs Cornell. My Dad was not much of a fan but since we lived only 10 minutes from the stadium when there was free tickets we attended games. I remember climbing in the bushes/tree on the hillside near what was the main entrance watching the game. He became more of a fan over the...

    OT: Shingles, ever had them?

    I'm about the farthest away for being a Physician as possible, but my MD has told me it IS possible to get Shingles if you've had Chicken Pox. I had Chicken Pox as a kid and got the two phase shot a few months ago. The shots were not so available for first or second shot. A little sore/tired...
