    OT: Who's done a family tree?

    DNA results on Ancestry.com will identify other people with matching DNA that you could never identify based on records that may or may not exist. I literally had over 1000 people that are 4th cousins or closer.

    Totally classless move by Michigan

    Yes we did. Up 45-3 against Wagner, RU scored with 13 seconds remaining in the game. The guys at the gym on Monday morning were busting my balls about Schiano being classless for not taking a knee.

    Rating Players 1976 vs. 2025

    A bit premature to rank players who haven't put on a Rutgers Jersey yet but I'll provide a couple of comments. The players from the great 1976 team all ended up playing 4 years at RU. IMO, comparing their career contributions need to be considered differently than perhaps a "One and Done"...

    Question for Bruce Beck

    Back in the day, Felix Beck was Chairmen Emeritus of Chase Home Mortgage. For many years, Beck promoted a free employee tailgate party at a Rutgers football game and many hundreds of employees were provided free tickets to the game. It was a very popular event and helped to grow the fanbase.

    OT: PHL parking lots?

    I was a long time user of The Parking Spot. They even have a Rutgers Club discount but they have become expensive. I switched to Park N Fly which has valet parking and less expensive. On a recent 9 day trip I saved over $50 compared to The Parking Spot. You just pull into their covered...

    OT: Where to eat in LBI/Beach Haven??

    Bird & Betty's for the view. The meatball appetizer is a must. Triton Craft Beer and Oyster Bar - Big selection of oysters. Mussels with the red sauce is my favorite. Ask for extra bread to lap up the sauce. Really nice selection of craft beers. One of my favorites. Buckalew's - Nice bar...

    The Attacks Never Stop

    My standard response to anyone (and there are many) who complain about their tax money going to Rutgers athletics is to reach in my pocket and give them my loose change to reimburse them for their support.

    OT: proposal about sports betting on November ballot

    The downside is TV ratings. People will watch games because they bet on them. RU could be losing by 21 points but if RU is getting +20, people will continue to watch. Without a bet on the game, they change the channel.

    ‘Unsustainable’: How Rutgers athletics quietly racked up $265M in debt

    I’ve been following Rutgers athletics since the mid ‘70’s and there’s not much new in the article that I didn’t already know. I find it difficult to get overly concerned about the athletic department budget that is only 3% of the overall budget of the university yet makes an outsized...
