    APP; Washington stunned by ASH's Punt Call

    Certainly not Monday Morning QB. Everyone in our section thought you go for it there, playing a ranked team well as a severe underdog. Ash needed to roll the dice there and has to play less close to the vest a bit more; my only criticism of him. Otherwise well done vs. a way better team.

    Politi's Article On The Season

    I get that the coach has to give a positive spin, but saying 10 losses "isn't bad"? Yeesh.

    Whiny ***** Harbaugh

    If Harbaugh had any stones, he'd have taken his QB's advice and gone for 2 in the 1st OT and either won or lost the game right there. I guess it's easy to go for 2 against a far inferior team when up by 4 TDs 10 minutes in, but when you play the big boys it isn't so easy. Enjoy the Orange Bowl...

    ND lost again- couldn't happen to a better coach

    CFB officials are working behind the scenes to get ND a BCS berth still; altering the rules to make teams that wear Navy and Gold...and sometimes green w/clovers...and have .333 records eligible.

    Three Noon kickoffs announced

    It's time to return to the American conference; Thursday night games worked best for most peoples' schedules, but only if 8 p.m. The 7 p.m. start were a little too early, but the 9 p.m porridge was a bit too hot.

    OT - Canadian HS hoopster said he was 17, actually 30

    Remember, similar to the exchange rate, a 29-year-old Canadian is 17 years old U.S.

    Hey Folks --

    I'm pretty sure, Chris, that the same people who bitched about the broadcast also would have been disappointed had RU done what Nebraska did, letting a young kid w/cancer suit up and run for a TD; spring game's about serious business and getting important reps for the 8th-string RB in crunch...

    Basketball Practice Facilities Breaking Ground This Summer

    You 100% sure ground-breaking means beginning of construction phase, or is it planting some fall mums that'll spruce up the space until eventual construction?

    Cronin to UNLV?

    Of course this is a guy we could have pursued but never seem to give such spending a thought. The more the coaching carousel turns, the more amateurish and low-budget we look. Depressing.

    Realistic expectations for next season

    Zero juice in the program and a dead RAC again is my forecast. In typical Rutgers fashion, we under-hired and acted like an Atlantic 10 program again...2 conferences ago. One thing in the new coach's favor is having one of the best guards in the league return, assuming he returns. Otherwise...

    Now I look forward to facility improvement announcements.

    I believe that report to be false, regarding commitment to Hurley about facilities. A good source tells me the lack of promise on a practice facility and other upgrades by year X was ultimately the reason Hurley withdrew from consideration.
