    OT: Golf in Central NJ

    Same memories for me, was in college there 88-92. I remember Whitey as well.

    Yahoo Sports Slams "Targeting" Call

    Targeting should be reserved for egregious hits made to a defenseless player. It reminds me of a quote by a supreme court justice: "It is like porn, hard to define, but you know it when you see it". I think the same principle applies to targeting, you know it when you see it. This was NOT...

    The endgame strategy was f**king stupid

    The only criticism I have of Pike's game management in all prior games throughout the years, is calling a time out when the next dead ball would be a media timeout. Even if the other team is on a run, the team needs to learn how to recover without the need to call a timeout. Timeouts are too...

    The thing that pisses me off the most about last play

    The clock starting is controlled by the referee on the court by a pack on their belt. The clock is stopped by the referee by their whistle, which has a microphone to hear it blow and is transmitted to the clock. If you ever get to a game early, you will see each referee calibrate their...

    Recruiting and more

    Why not do what MSG did instead of the aforementioned colleges? Madison Square Garden's most recent renovation took place mainly over three off-seasons. The renovation was done in phases with the majority of the work done in the summer months to minimize disruptions to the NHL and NBA seasons...

    Football Rutgers Football adds Akron, Ohio and UMass to future schedules

    Has the Big Ten officially decided or announced the elimination of divisions? If so what year (before or when USC/UCLA come on board in 2024? Also, on a related note, do we know our conference schedule yet for next year (are we playing all of the East plus 3 crossover West games)?

    Mobile Tickets Have Arrived

    Question, this is my first year using the app instead of paper tickets. If I download all the tickets to Apple Wallet, and then if I can not make a game (please note, I do attend 95% of games, but each year end up missing just 1 or 2). As I do NOT have my work schedule for January & February...

    I'm not sure we will ever be successful in Big Ten football

    Has the Big Ten officially decided or announced the elimination of divisions? If so what year (before or when USC/UCLA come on board in 2024? Also, on a related note, do we know our conference schedule yet for next year (are we playing all of the East plus 3 crossover West games)?

    C Vivian Stringer Court pic

    Even with this name on the court, Rutgers is still behind Monmouth in terms of how many names are used for one building... The Monmouth PA Announcer has to begin all games with "Good evening, and welcome to Paul Gaffney Court, in Dr. Marilyn A. McNeil Arena, at The OceanFirst Bank Center, on...

    They started testing the new Lighting systems in the stadium last night

    It is time to upgrade the lights in the stadium that date back to the 1994 expansion, as it is much too dark compared to other college stadiums. Bring them up to modern standards and increase the brightness by using LED lights. Plus, add the ability to use scarlet lights and effects, as is done...

    Home clock operator

    It is actually the referee at the spot of the in-bounce that starts the clock by the remote pack worn on their waist band, not by anyone at the scorers table. FYI the clock is stopped by a microphone located on the referee’s whistle. The system actually tracts which of the three referees started...

    Politi on Pikiell

    We also do know for sure if last year's team would have been as hungry to break the streak had they officially made the tournament the year prior. Maybe we would have seen the letdown we are seeing this year one season sooner, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

    Reviving the 12th Man

    I too agree with the OP, and his well-written and thought-out ideas and suggestions. As mentioned, many of these have been presented before, either informally in message boards, season ticket surveys, etc., or formally on the Fan Advisory Council. However, we all know that there is only one...
