    OT: Francessa returning to WFAN

    Bart does a good job w/ football and i actually like him a lot more than I thought. Maggie also does well, I find Carlin as the one who is out of place. Good play-by-play person but, like Michael Kay, not much to say otherwise. We'll see how Franscessa does but it will be more interesting...

    is Jawuan Harris going to the NFL?

    maybe he doesn't have the size, but a guy like Marcus Cooper plays in the NFL and I remember him as being decent, but nothing amazing at RU. So if Harris has the athleticism to impress at the combines and wanted to do it, maybe he has a shot.

    A disturbing Trend in College Football

    But Silvers88 - those types of problems point to the fact that the W-L record can't be the only judge of coaching success. Beamer's troubles in the early going may rightly be blamed on the mess he inherited from Dooley. But you can also look at the lousy situation Ash walked into left by Flood...

    A disturbing Trend in College Football

    This opinion does not mesh with the historic record. While I don't have the schedule in front of me - Bill Dooley was Beamer's predecessor at VT. In his 9 seasons he went 64-38-1, made 3 bowl games (this was when that meant something) and in the immediate 4 seasons before Beamer arrived, VT...

    Improvement 2017 vs 2016

    we also ran that play earlier and Gio couldn't execute it - he said he stumbled. Maybe the play calling looks creative when the players execute?

    8 Reasons Ash is Not on Hot Seat

    2-9 (coming off a 9-2-1 record with the prior coach and a #20 ranking) 3-8 6-4-1 6-5 5-6 2-8-1 Those were the first 6 years for Frank Beamer at Va Tech and there were losses that i'm sure caused outrage among their fans (including 50-49 to RU in 1992). He then won 9, 8, 10 and 10 the next 4...

    I feel so bad for our players

    Make free throws and we win that game. I don't feel bad for them. They should be pissed that they let is slip away and that all the country sees is a 1-8 Big 10 team in the standings - but they are the bottom dweller that can scare anyone with their defense and rebounding. Hopefully they will...

    OT: Purchasing a new SUV

    I have a 2014 Buick Enclave which is their version of the GM Lambda platform which also includes the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia (now Acadia Limited as the new Acadia as noted is smaller). While it gets lousy MPG (~16 combined and 23 on the highway) and is a little under-powered, it is very...

    This loss is on special teams

    Special teams in college is much better when you have depth through recruiting. Give ash a couple of classes and this will be a real program in the big 10.

    Ash and Mehringer are morons

    Gio Cleary hobbled and limited. Good game by RU. The dummies will show their stupidity but once this guy recruits some players this will be a very competitive program.

    OT: OK Lurkers....Out Yourselves

    RU alumni. Rarely post but have been a member of this board since the time of the Schiano hire when I found out it existed (think it was Rutgers rivals.com). I rarely post and don't follow the board as closely as I used to because it becomes too insane when we lose (especially during a game)...

    OT - Atlantic City - default, bankruptcy, and state takeover

    There's only 39,000 people in Atlantic City -it's not even a city based on population. in 2000 it had 40,000 people so it isn't like they lost a vast amount of population. Given it's small size, when the casinos were doing well and pouring billions in tax revenues, they were only supporting a...

    OT: Poor Talia Jane

    On one hand I feel bad for this girl because she was probably made to be clueless by her parents while growing up. We have 6 or so 20-somethings who work at my firm and I am stunned by their willingness to complain about things to their superiors. When I started - 20 years ago only - my...
