    OT: Another NJ farm to be seized

    I grew up in North Brunswick and seems like 30+ years ago they were dealing with the same stuff. Back then I believe it was in the Maple Meade area by the BOE office, and then again where the Community Park is. I now live in Cranford (soon to be 20 years) where nearly every few months you...

    OT: FIFA flaunting facilities at Rutgers as 2026 World Cup base camp option

    This is awesome if RU can get it. When the English Premier League did its Summer Series in summer 2023, Brighton used RU's facility. It was all over their social media and looked amazing.

    Basketball Jeremiah Williams plans to enter Transfer Portal

    I don't know about that but it was frustrating to see all the attempted dunks off the glass in pre-game, and then go on to miss two clutch free throws that would has iced the first round W. I know they're not correlated but it irks me nonetheless. He played hard and brought a lot of fun and...

    OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

    I went to HS with him, although he was older than me. That year when they made a run against Jay Williams' St Joe's team we had a pep rally for the team in the gym highlighted by a dunk content between Tim and a few other teammates. That team also included C Viv's son, a guy that played at...

    OT: Things in sports that need to disappear

    They did this back in the day for a Devils game when they were on SportsChannel. The main game was on SportsChannel and an alt telecast with no play by play, and more mics close to the ice was on SportsChannel Plus. They even had a disclaimer saying that occasionally inappropriate language...

    OT: Things in sports that need to disappear

    Yes! This one is crazy to me. I'm shocked that the spot doesn't get argued, reviewed, automated more than it does (unless it does and I'm just not paying attention). In a "game of inches" they just leave the actual placement of the ball up to the ref's judgement without much question?

    OT: Your stories of a brush with famous people.

    Johnny Reznik (Goo Goo Dolls) lives in Westfield. I've seen him a bunch of times at Target and ShopRite in Clark, Kings in Garwood. Low key but he's unmistakeable in person.

    OT: Your stories of a brush with famous people.

    used to see celebs regularly at work when a daily cable morning show was shooting on the floor below me, we were separated by a staircase. Saw Maroon 5 and Adele before they were famous. My favorite artists though was Dropkick Murphys doing their Christmas song live Biggest celeb was probably...

    OT: Your stories of a brush with famous people.

    I used to see Federico Castellucio (Furio on the show) around New Brunswick when I was there (1999-2003). I believe he owned one of the bars or restaurants off Albany St

    I know exactly which one you're talking about and agree. Great t-shirt.

    Izzo Pullover

    This is excellent insight. Thank you for the honest input and perspective. We crossed paths a few times when I worked at one of the businesses in your neighborhood while I was a student and I can attest for anyone here that you are a stand-up, good guy who bleeds scarlet. It makes sense that...

    Izzo Pullover

    Not to pile on but even the officially licensed stuff off Fanatics or Dicks is a crap shoot whether it'll be oddly shaped, true to size, shrink in the wash, cheap quality. Some of it is great, but a bunch of it is sub-par. The tees in the CAC bookstore still have the 90s style tall block...

    Izzo Pullover

    I think it's the quality of gear too. Most of the Rutgers basketball stuff I see online looks like flea market knockoffs, cheap quality tees. I see other schools with cooler stuff

    OT: Official Premier League thread

    Great Boxing Day all around for Liverpool. Seven point clear of second place Chelsea with a game in hand. Love it when my predictions are right. If the season ended today Nottingham Forest would qualify for the champions league, City finishes in 7th and United is closer to relegation than they...
