    Interesting Note from NJ Democratic Gov Debate - Fulop Anti Rutgers Football

    Fulop’s position on Rutgers is interesting. As a progressive he is mayor of a city with incredible economic inequality. Property taxes are at state level but Jersey City receives higher state funding as a “poverty district” Effectively his position is he needs to cut university funding (making...

    Interesting Note from NJ Democratic Gov Debate - Fulop Anti Rutgers Football

    To my knowledge no other candidate Democrat or Republican has said anything about Rutgers let alone Rutgers Football spending. Jack has said he wants to cut the entire state budget, so you can infer this would impact Rutgers in some way, but no direct point about Rutgers to my knowledge.

    Interesting Note from NJ Democratic Gov Debate - Fulop Anti Rutgers Football

    I totally agree with this, but even if you completely agree that Rutgers football is a cost the university should not pay and has no value it is 0.025% of the state budget. If you are a family with a $100,000 annual budget, this is $25. Imagine if the family was asked where they could cut...

    No. 18 Rutgers Men’s Lacrosse Falls To No. 14 Michigan Sunday

    Is there a betting line on this game? I would guess close to even odds?

    Fonseca’s spot on article about this season

    Between the lines, my biggest take away from the article is the overall NIL. "The top 10% of high major programs averaged $3MM in NIL". It is a LOT LESS than you would be led to believe where it seems that every player is getting hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

    Ace and Dylan Top 3? Sorry. Don’t see it…

    Agree he CAN develop just would be worried if I am a GM picking that high. The other guys you mention were all dominant physical players who even without a good outside shot would be very good NBA players, very high floors. Dylan without an outside shot? Is he going be be able to penetrate and...

    Ace and Dylan Top 3? Sorry. Don’t see it…

    Ace clearly is an athletic freak so see the “potential” argument, but I would not feel they comfortable if I was a NBA GM drafting him top 3 Dylan the one serious question I have is how can a guard who is a below average jump shooter 2 point and 3 point be an elite NBA guard? Yes he’s big, he’s...

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-OREGON PREDICTION THREAD

    They play aggressive and motivated tonight, get the Ducks in foul trouble and win 75-72. They then will play soft as hell and lose to Washington by 10.

    Dylan injured!!

    Dylan is one of the most talented players we have ever had. However I am a bit surprised he is viewed as a top 3 pick. He is a medicore shooter at best at the college level (and even in high school, he was was shooting low 30%s from 3). Never been better than low 30%s from three, and mid range...

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-IOWA PREDICTION THREAD

    RU 82- Iowa 77. We control most minutes of the game, but Iowa goes on 2 or 3 3 point shooting spurts to keep this close. We will threaten to pull away in this game at least twice and they work themselves back in.

    Preview of RU vs Iowa

    Iowa let teams get to the basket, score and still not foul them; even with Freeman in the line-up. We have to be able to exploit this, dominate the inside and dominate the boards. Yes we can get some open 3s but I think Iowa would sign up in a second to get in a 3 point shooting contest with...

    Should Rutgers Basketball Start Requiring Flu Shots?

    Would be surprised if he does not have the flu vaccine and I am sure there is a push to get it for all athletes. Flu vaccine though is really only marginally effective, CDC estimating ~34% effectiveness this year so far
