    Men’s Lacrosse Began Big Ten Play at No. 11 Johns Hopkins Saturday

    Congratulations to the players for sticking to the grind since the UMass loss and to the coach for shaking up his rotations. Onwards and upwards?

    Men’s Lacrosse Nonconference Finale Versus No. 19 UMass Saturday

    Wow, I appreciate that posters wear scarlet glasses, but from what are you “rebuilding”? RU was 1-4 in the B1G in 2023 and 1-4 in 2024. If we’re lucky, we’ll be 1-4 in 2025. That’s a helluva trendline and as much of a 3-year dumpster fire as women’s volleyball and hoops, baseball or men’s...

    The impact on future star recruiting

    Yeah, remember how people thought that Pikiell making the NCAA the first time in 2021 would, bam, kick RU recruiting up a notch or two with the Class of 2022? Well, Pikiell parlayed that success and PR into a Zero-for-Top 250 class and signed, gulp, Chol, Woolfolk and Simpson. Yeah, that was...

    Jordan missed FT’s. Huge as it turns out.

    Huh? Not according to the stat sheet. Dumping on a kid who had 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 TO in 18 minutes? Yes, he missed 4 shots and 4 FTs. But how about you do Ace Bailey - 2-for-7 inside the 3-point line and 4-for-10 on threes, 1, count it, 1 rebound, and 3 TOs in 32 minutes. So, who...

    Rutgers Women's Basketball to Host No. 4/3 Iowa on Friday in Front of Sold Out Crowd

    How many girls did RU put on the floor tonight who would see more than garbage time on most B1G rosters? I didn’t expect Year #2 to be pretty and it will take a couple more cycles to stock the roster. But, geez, I thought we’d see players who reflect a little coaching-up and who can catch the...

    Rutgers Women's Basketball to Host No. 4/3 Iowa on Friday in Front of Sold Out Crowd

    My gawd, that was one remarkably limp performance from the RU women. The score was closer than the game looked. Yes, I know Iowa is #4 and RU were missing starters, but the RU players who played showed a remarkable lack of fundamentals and little, if any, basketball IQ. They eerily looked...

    GAME 12 STONEHILL: Suck it up Buttercups

    You cannot be serious! McNeese State is 11-2 and had its full roster at Mich. Stonehill was 2-12, missing its 2 best players and down to 6 scholarship players. Stonehill is a couple notches below Merrimack or Central Conn. with its full roster.

    Program

    Looking forward to opinions being updated based on what we witnessed today. Amazing that the “we’re so young” excuse satisfies people here. Who’s fault is it that RU is relying on frosh and sophs?

    OT: Working virtual, where to live on the East Coast

    Portsmouth, New Hampshire. New Castle or Rye if you have the bucks. No income tax. No sales tax. No estate tax. Reasonable drive to Boston or Portland. On the ocean and 75 minutes to the White Mountains.

    No thanks. Even snipers need to play D.

    No. 15 Rutgers Wrestling Hosts Maryland Saturday in Big Ten Finale / Match Thread

    Wow, Poz is just awful. Zero offense. No fire. Again.

    GAME 6 MASSACHUSETTS: Turn out the lights, the party is over

    Wouldn’t best chance to win mean using his frosh point guard who’s defense he raved about in pre-season?

    Onto 2022.. Reasons for optimism/concern

    Give up on developing a Bergen Catholic connection. Let Nunzio go and bring in an up and coming recruiter who can handle the TEs and hopefully teach them to block. Need to develop a Plan B recruiter for when Fran inevitably gets an HC job.
