    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC

    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC That means that for the purposes of this conversation, Rutgers would be in the ACC. I agree that the ACC had no interest in RU. But maybe you should reread the title of this thread. It says, "Hypothetical-If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC." That means...

    Hypothetical—If Rutgers Had Joined the ACC

    The new ACC looked a lot like the old BE, until SMU and the PAC-2 joined. If RU had been invited to the ACC instead of the BIG, I personally would still have been happy with that. We would have been reunited with 6 former BE schools and probably UConn would have come in with us to be #7 (# if...

    Can we get Livvy Dunne to a Rutgers game?

    So let's have her dad come do a coin toss.

    POLL: Do you think NJ.com is fair in its coverage of Rutgers and Rutgers athletics?

    NJ.com and the SL are/were extremely anti-Rutgers in its coverage. That is the main reason why I stopped reading either years ago. I honestly don't know why anybody on this board is still reading and posting about the Rutgers coverage there. It/they are completely irrelevant and have been for...

    OT: Drones over NJ?

    What exactly was going on that the cops were chasing the drones? Were they being flown over crowds, in restricted air space, into peoples' backyards? Flying a drone at night is no longer illegal and that video shows that the drone had the required lights on it. So what was the problem?

    UMASS coach's wife blasts away

    UMass did give up. It is joining the MAC. That being said, The NIL disparity is skewed because UMass had games against Mizzu, Miss St, Liberty and UGa. That's 3 SEC teams and the BYU of the East. Otherwise UMass has a pretty typical MAC type schedule. Its only wins are over FCS CCst and...

    Loved that show.

    OT: I-95 Camera Ticket (MD)

    So you know, the E-Z Pass system has that capability. E-Z Passes are used to calculate travel times shown on the VMBs along the highway. You pass a reader and it registers. You pass a second reader and it registers. The time difference is then transmitted to the VMB. But the system can be...

    OT: Columbia beat Villanova

    I met Jim Engles while he was the coach at NJIT. We were both regulars at the same breakfast spot. About once a week we had breakfast together and talked college sports. He was genuinely a good guy. I'm glad to see he is having some success at what was always his dream job.

    Welcome to Rutgers Week

    rutgersal is without doubt the most irrational advocate of Rutgers football there is. That being said, his knowledge of the program - from players, to coaches to history is encyclopedic. Rutgers has been picked to have the most single score finals in the BIG. If we play the way we did against...

    The band brought its "A" game Friday. This was miles away from the year of "Ode to Show Tunes."

    OT: Dollywood

    We went years ago. If you are used to Disney or Universal or even Hershey, Dollywood will be disappointing. It is closer to Dorney Park. We experienced closed rides, closed gift shops, ride lines that crossed each other, and a general Carny atmosphere. That being said, Pigeon Forge and the...

    OT: PAC-2 About To Raid The Mountain West

    Apparently I was wrong. The PAC has only been able to draw a third tier Utah school so far.

    OT: PAC-2 About To Raid The Mountain West

    Disagree all you want. Right now this isn’t eleven the best of what’s left conference. Why would AAC schools pay the penalty to leave to go to another G league that doesn’t even have a TV deal? At best the reconfigured PAC may be able to draw a couple of third tier Texas schools.

    OT: PAC-2 About To Raid The Mountain West

    This move is the reason why I am so thankful to be in the BIG. This is just another nonsensical reshuffle of western schools. Now instead of having two depleted western conferences that are a shadows of their former selves, there will be three. All this move does is allow OSU?WSU to keep all...
