    Where does this portal insanity end?

    Agree with all the above. I'm all for players getting a share of revenue directly from the school, not the pockets of fans. There's nothing wrong with them being paid but now we're all held hostage by a collection of kids, who in any normal environment, would right now be fetching us coffee at...

    We need $7M in NIL to turn this around Next Year

    Sorry but that's wrong. It was well documented when he was leaving that we matched what he was being paid and he still left without hesitation. I recall reading that he actually didn't even give us a chance to offer more...the kid simply wanted out. Money wasn't irrelevant, obviously, but he saw...

    No Reason why we can’t be a Championship Team if enough people pony up

    I understand what you're saying but have to disagree. That's the whole point of practice. That's when coaches correct these things and teach guys to set the edge, tackle, and know where to be. We don't just recruit kids then put them out there the next day. Obviously, when we had Ash and were in...

    No Reason why we can’t be a Championship Team if enough people pony up

    Would more NIL money have been able to draw up a defensive scheme that actually worked? Oh and Indiana had more NIL so that's why they are so much better? And when only one or two of IU's players actually gets drafted vs OSU's 10, how will we rationalize that NIL made IU players better and IU a...

    OT: NJ Golf season

    I also grew up playing the Mercer courses especially both Oaks courses. I haven't played them in ages until this past summer I played Mercer Oaks East....it was approaching dog track territory. Really poor conditions. I get it was a hard summer with the lack of rain but they appeared to only...

    39 yds passing.

    The late great Mike Leach was obviously on the other end of the spectrum, throwing 80% of the time. When asked about having a more balanced attack he said "50% pass and 50% run is 50% stupid." He outlined how balance isn't about an equal share of run or pass but being able to have balance across...

    Terrible games by Mulcahy and McConnell

    Paul and Caleb definitely had brutal games offensively. Paul seemed like he was committed to not scoring tonight and I don't know what Caleb was thinking with most of those shots. That said, the silver lining is IU was lights out for the first 10 minutes of the game. The fact that it was even...

    OT: lost luggage (golf clubs)

    Another option for the future is ship sticks as someone else mentioned. I used them once this past summer and it was great. Ship sticks is just a middle man as its actually UPS or FedEx that ships then but I dropped them off at a local FedEx office and two days later they were at our destination...

    OT: lost luggage (golf clubs)

    Two items here. First I once had my clubs lost by Frontier traveling to Florida and I wasn't alone. They seemed to have lost all clubs on that flight. I kept hounding Frontier and they had nothing new for days until one morning, about 4 days later, I got a phone call from the Frontier desk at...

    OT: what’s the worst thing you stepped on with your bare feet?

    While I was remodeling our master bath, I stepped right on a rusty 4 in nail sticking out of the floor. Imagine Harry in Home Alone on the stairs. Went right through sole of my shoe but not through my entire foot.

    Fight in 132/133

    I now live in PA and Jersey PSU fans are distinctly worse than PA PSU fans. Both suck but the PA ones view us as any other lower level Big10 team. Just another game on the schedule. It's the Jersey ones that seem to enjoy taunting us. Like they're "cooler" because they're from Jersey but went...

    Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops opens season vs. Columbia

    Thank God Simpson looks like Geo's little brother on TV. Makes me feel at home. I'll probably sleep easier now.

    To the guy in Sea Girt with the B1G R flag

    Only ever been to Holden Beach, and I haven't been there yet this year, but the past few years have always been great. A nice clean beach. Quieter beach town. Although they used to never charge for the beach or parking but I hear they started charging for parking this year...such is the way of...

    To the guy in Sea Girt with the B1G R flag

    Nice! Good advice. If I see that sticker again this summer I'll have to poke around. Thanks!

    To the guy in Sea Girt with the B1G R flag

    While we're on the topic of Block R sightings, every summer I go down to North Carolina to visit family at Holden Beach and I always play golf at Carolina National in Bolivia. For the past couple years I have seen a car with a Block R magnet on the back. I always wanted to ask the pro shop about...
