    Seven of next season's starters on defense could be transfers ?

    Defense will have some depth this year. I think the depth with roster is the best GS has had. The transfers are good, the guys coming back from injury will help and the rest of the players have another year of experience. Smith will need to get the coaches aligned with the defense GS wants.

    OT: Stock and Investment Thread

    I'm listening. Let me know if I need to get a job at Walmart or start delivering pizzas. That's the question I keep asking my broker and he laughs. I don't think he realizes it's a serious question.

    Schiano doing Schiano things yet again..

    Schiano said afterwards he needs to look at everything including himself. This is not the intense Schiano from 10 years ago. This CEO stuff is getting old. Do we blitz anymore because if we can't get to the QB, our DB's get picked apart. And what the heck are all these penalties? He preached...

    Indiana can score some points

    I think each group has the right to an opinion, good or bad. There are some things that have gone right while others continue to be a mess. Schiano is a defensive coach and a good one. The talent on the D is up and they are playing well, not perfect but well enough to win. The offense is still...

    How would the RU team of 2006 do in the 2022 B1G 10?

    Rutgers would have well in any conference back in 2006. I don't think most guys who weren't at the games realize just how good that team was that year. Quick example; We beat Kansas State by 27 points in the bowl game. K-State beat Texas during the regular season by 3. And Texas ended up being...

    OT: Where are affluent people moving?

    Great post. Agree with all of it except the second home. We've had 5-6 of them and always thought this was the one we want. And then after a couple of years, we got bored with them. So now we just rent somewhere in the summer to get out of the heat. But the rest is spot on.

    OT; The 150th Open Championship

    Well, we're back. It was a great trip for us but the luggage and golf clubs didn't have a good time. It seems Heathrow and Edinburgh are short on staff so everything got backed up. I waited in Edinburgh for 5 hours before our stuff arrived. Everything is being shipped home DHL which is working...

    UNC/UVA to the SEC?

    I guess a lot of people think MIssissippi and Alabama.

    Big Ten not done?

    The Big 10 can't stop by just adding two teams from California. They are going to need to close the open territory between Nebraska and California. I can see Washington, Oregon, U of Arizona and maybe Colorado. But you have to have some schools out there as well for USC and UCLA to play.

    Congratulations Coach Flood-Big 12 Recruiter of the Year!

    It's even worse when you have a bunch of scandals. I liked Flood and was happy when he was hired. But the fact is that he screwed up and got fired because of it. He's landed on his feet and good luck to him. He is a players coach but maybe at that time, he became a little too much of a players...

    Linebackers Next Year

    RU is out trying to get another LB. Powell is a definite starter. That gives Walker and Johnson some time to develop. Banton was hurt much of last year which is why he redshirted I think. If they don't get a LB from the portal, that puts pressure on the staff to develop someone quickly. I think...

    Tight End Position

    Seems everyone has passed on Bauman. RU tried to get Brody but he committed elsewhere and then flipped on signing day. I think for now it's development and the hope that maybe Alaimo learns how to block

    OT: Ford’s Theater

    Lincoln spent more time listening, less time talking. The opposite of all politicians and most people today.
