    Who is Richard Kent?

    RU72 was in the loop on hoops until the past few years IMO, but it's hard to remain relevant when you're closing in on 80 and he's never been known to be a great source on football, but folks saying he's never right are wrong, too. It's easy to predict Greg gets fired soon given the terrible...

    OT:9/11/2001 - My day as it happened

    I got chills when I watched this U2 performance of Where the Streets Have No Name at the Super Bowl, live, back in 2002, and I got chills watching it again, just now. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1554692912502824

    Harasymiak Said Knowing RU's Run Game Was Helpful

    Regardless of coaching, scheme, motivation, preparation, etc., my biggest take home was how putrid our lines were against a team we should dominate on both sides of the ball and how terrible our QB looked vs. their QB. When will we recruit a real dual threat QB like so many other teams do? We...

    OT: Ranked #2

    Well said. I've traveled a lot and lived for months at a time in several places and while I enjoyed all of those places, I can't imagine living anywhere other than NJ for all the reasons you stated (and including Rutgers/NB, of course). We used to have these one-page Powerpoint slides for our...

    Where are you watching Season Opener from?

    Same place I've been for 37 years, Section 224 row 1 at midfield (had free student tix for the 9 years before that).

    OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

    Good examples. Here's one more: imagine a guy with Barry Sanders's speed, shiftiness and acceleration doing that with great foot skills in soccer as a #10. Messi on steroids, lol.

    Athan Kaliakmanis - 2026 Preseason

    Wow, hadn't seen this - he really looked good. Crisp, accurate passes, decent pocket movement and good decisions.

    OT: We may win the World Cup in 2026

    Stop the presses!! I agree with this 100% and have been saying this for 20+ years (we actually agree on a lot of sports topics). Good examples, too. One of the ones I've been using for years is imagining LeBron as a hold-up center forward. He'd be unstoppable getting and controlling the ball...

    OT: WSOP Main Event

    We have a champion, as Jumalon wins a pedestrian final hand (K6 over A7 with 2 6's hitting the board), but two hands earlier was the difference, as Jumalon had the lock flush (off a Q5 offsuit, but 4 spades hit) and Saaskilahti called nearly all his chips with just a pair of jacks - hero call...

    OT: WSOP Main Event

    That was a sick loss for Gagliano, who was a huge favorite with KQ vs KJ, but that's what makes poker so damn exciting at times - great run, though. And just a couple of hands later Mueller hits the rail as Saaskilahti slow played his kings perfectly then looked to be bluffing at the end and...

    OT: Is a Catastrophic CA-Level Wildfire Coming to NJ? Experts Say Yes—and the State Isn't Ready.

    Interesting article, thanks. While I think wildfires can certainly get worse in NJ, based on climate change and lack of preparation/training, the one thing we have going for us is that we simply don't get extended periods of very low humidity and high winds that states out west get, which are...

    OT: The Open

    Your business, lol. I was a 7-handicap for many years. Best round was a 73 with many rounds of 76 or better, although that's irrelevant to the claim you made about having played more rounds than I have. 10 years at 2 rounds a week is way less than my 10 years at 4 rounds a week, just for...

    OT: The Open

    You'd lose that bet even though I don't play much anymore, since I used to play 4x a week for about 10 years and 1-2 x a week for 20 years, and iirc you didn't pick the game up until 10-15 years ago, so you're way behind as of now. Perhaps you'll catch up someday if you stay in the good graces...
