    Tuesday morning (3/17) I read an article by Jerry Carino praising Steve Pikiell for the way he handled our team this season. Where is it?

    There are so many unknowns, but the fish always rots from the head down and I have seen nothing to doubt that Keli and Sullivan aren't the right people for the job. Almost universally, Pike is respected by rival coaches which says a lot. Equally important, Pike did not lose the locker room in...

    We are deluding ourselves

    I don't keep up with RU hoops nearly to the level of many on this board, but I know enough that there are so many moving parts.......NIL, relationships that none of us are aware of, not to mention an athletic infrastructure that we have never had at Rutgers but which most Big Ten programs have...

    As season is winding down , there are positives in this losing season

    Before this season started, I felt if we ended up with 15 wins, it would be a successful season. We will probably wind up with 13 wins and played Michigan State twice tough and down to the wire. The team has not quit on Pike and has improved as the season has gone on. A lot of things can happen...

    Mildone ?

    Used to post daily on the CE board until the transition. The transition forced me to take a break, and I realized what a waste of time and energy it was to argue with fellow RU grads. Nothing ever got resolved and as I got older, became more tolerant of everyone having their own opinions which...

    Cignetti’s formula won’t last

    The real issue that often gets lost in the shuffle is what P4 college has become. You may still be a Rutgers fan or an Indiana fan or any other school fan, but now you are rooting for and supporting more of a 'product' than rooting for a school. Like everything else in this world at the end of...

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-PURDUE PREDICTION THREAD

    Don't know by how much Purdue will win by, but pretty sure this is going to be the Oregon game for the basketball team.

    Question for Long Time Fans

    Been on these boards for a long time. Like a number of posters, I have been a fan for 40-years. We all have experienced the loss of longtime posters (of which I can think of many) who will never see Rutgers get to the promised land. For the older aged posters, it is a race between living to...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball snaps losing skid with 80-65 win against UNLV

    I taped the game and after a great Thanksgiving and some good football, I watched the game after everyone went to bed. The game was the perfect ending to Thanksgiving and for that, I for one am grateful. I think we can get to 10-12 wins this year and then let's see what Kelli does with her NIL...

    OT: NY Giants 2025 Season Thread

    This is an insane prediction (I know) but the Giants run the table winning their last five games.

    OT: Jeff Hafley

    LOL. No, his name is often cited as a good candidate.

    OT: Jeff Hafley

    As a former Rutgers coach, what are folks opinions on Hafley as the next NY Giants head coach?

    RIP Todderick Hunt

    This is a real punch in the gut. We were Facebook buddies and exchanged email messages from time-to-time. I ran a number of articles that I had written by him and he always took the time to respond. He was generous and gracious to a fault. He loved his wife and kids above all else. My deepest...

    The life and death of a tailgate

    My two brothers and my Dad bought season tickets in 1994 when the new stadium opened. In the early years, you could drive into the yellow lot and park wherever you wished. We parked under the trees in the first row and had great tailgates. Our initial seats were on what is now the visitors side...
