    Derek Simpson 2.0

    Revisit the away game at PSU, where we came back to win after being down about 19 Towards the end of the game, the announcer said "A star is born" Didn't happen, but he directed the RU offense very well that day I still think.Mark has tons of potential and,I would try to keep

    OT: Anyone else think Rutgers is absurdly expensive?

    The tuition in 1968 was $200 per semester by the time I finished in 1973 it was closer to $400 The big thing was that I could work some during the,school year, and full time in the summers, and graduate without loans The pay for jobs was close to 2.00/hr, for perspective, unless you got in a...

    OT: Missing dog from Texas found in Clark New Jersey two years later

    I go on a neighborhood website, and it is littered with posts of people who had their cat escape their house.....or other people reporting seeing cats outside, all worried about it, are they lost, abandoned etc It makes me laugh because they don't realize that cats usually have very good homing...

    OT: Missing dog from Texas found in Clark New Jersey two years later

    Years ago I read reportedly true stories of dogs traveling long distances to get back to their families Some dogs must have incredible homing instincts In this case, looking at this dog, I would bet that someone found this lost dog in Texas and brought it to NJ The dog then escaped as it...

    OT: Watching St. John's-UConn

    Some fans would have absolutely hated it, but I would have bet he would have accepted an offer from RU, when looking for a job and winding up at Iona He would have built RU into a powerhouse despite the negatively

    Lino Mark

    It was more of a strategy Francis was clearly not a bench player because he was our best scorer Maybe Pike thought he could keep the others teams and coaches attention away from him a bit this way Or take some of the pressure off him As long as he got the major minutes it didn't matter

    Who would Have Thought…

    I can't see why some fans don't recognize Marks potential We have rarely had a guard lately who can get to the rim like he can Throw out the,fact that he,could not hit a three for a good part of the,season, look at the,most recent work Again, some here think he cannot shoot, yet he is getting...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball takes down Penn State on Senior Day

    I would offer him a bit less than Francis, since, Mark is the,second best player,on our team. And he's only a freshman

    Keepers for next year

    Lino is a freshman who flashes talent The tv sportscaster on yesterdays game thinks he is the quickest player in league, or close to it Yes, he,shot badly early on, but he is getting better and will get better Mark this down, fans will regret his leaving in a couple of years

    OT: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

    Two thoughts The problem is,that they induct groups every year, so the pickings get weaker and weaker, to the point they consider non rock and absurd choices Somewhere up in heaven, if there is a heaven, Meatloaf would really be appreciative of being inducted.... He came across as a sensitive...

    OT: Weekend snowstorm - historic blizzzard

    I have a,weather app that shows measured snow in any part of a city or town In the Clifton/Montclair area it is right around 12 inches, but showing about 1.5 inches added in the past hour, so final amounts should be higher
