    OT: Local 7 year old needs stem cell transplant

    bump... I was donating platelets pretty regularly until Covid hit and the donation center I used closed down. I just did a little research on donating stem cells and found people over 60 are ineligible due to the body's production of stem cells declining as we age. Unfortunately, I'm out.

    UNLV QB to enter the Transfer Portal

    People complain about NIL, the portal and player/coach loyalty but then want to take portal players over our own recruited and loyal players. Surace waited his turn and has potential to be very good but why should he stick around with no shot of playing? If he's as good as many say, he could...

    OT: Car Inspection

    They check that your registration and insurance is valid then plug in to the computer. If your check engine light isn't on, your car passes. It's all about emissions and I thought I read once it's a federal mandate, probably related to funding.

    The check in thread: if you've made it over from the old iteration

    Thank you. See my comment above as RetiredFan but this worked for me too.

    AD search outside the box

    "I do think it's necessary for Rutgers in particular because of where they're located in the marketplace to find an athletic director that has a really strong commercial background." Didn't RU have this in Tim Pernetti?

    OT: D-Day +81 Years

    I did a Normandy tour last month. Being on top of those cliffs and then on Omaha Beach, it was hard to fathom what it was like for that 1st wave of soldiers coming ashore and many were just in their late teens and early 20's. I'm sure they were scared to death but they showed courage and did...

    OT: Manville Boro

    I've lived in Hillsborough for the past 25 years so I'll chime in as a frequent Manville visitor. It's a decent small town with what appears to be a great place for a 1st time home buyer since the homes are "starter home" size. Some of the old Polish population is being replaced by Hispanic...

    OT: Stock and Investment Thread

    I was watching a Warren Buffet interview on CNBC when everything was tanking during the onset of Covid in 2020. He said something to the effect of, "I can't tell you what's going to happen tomorrow but I'll guarantee in 10 years the market will be much higher than it is today". I suspect like...

    OT: Stock and Investment Thread

    Not just tax but it also affects your Medicare premium. I converted a Traditional to Roth IRA in 2023 which almost tripled my taxable income for the year even though I never saw a dime of it and it cost a lot in income tax. I turned 65 the end of 2024 and signed up for Medicare. I then got a...

    Kyle Monangai and Hollin Pierce earned Phil Steele All-America honors!

    I didn't realize Pierce was a walk on. Very impressive RU careers for both and I hope they make a lot of money in the NFL

    OT: THE STRIPPER (admits that she) LIED (Duke Lacrosse Rape Case)

    What actions were his? I remember him stating they should get the death penalty but this was after the 5 made admissions to being part of a larger group that was responsible for many assaults in Central Park that evening and after they made admissions to being present during that sexual...

    Pernetti presenting rhe AAC trophy

    While I don't blame him for being bitter since he was thrown under the bus, are any of the people responsible even at RU anymore?

    Football INSTANT RECAP: Wisconsin rolls past Rutgers Football 42-7

    Coaches are going nowhere. Didn't Kirk just get a raise and extension?

    OT: Wimsatt fumble at Ole Miss

    I wondered the same. Also, isn't there a rule about not being able to advance a fumble or is that an NFL rule only?
