    OT: College enrollment and financial issues?

    I agree that it's unlikely that any of the semi-prestigious private New York colleges (those institutions commonly known to others beyond just a few counties) will go under, if for no other reason than that they have the resources to survive, even if it means spending down the principal on...

    OT: College enrollment and financial issues?

    Missed this post last month. Ithaca College's situation is part of a greater trend in solvency concerns at many lower and mid-tier private colleges that have long proliferated in Upstate New York (WNY, CNY, North Country, Southern Tier and the Capital District) Although not well known outside...

    Tyler is 13 years cancer free

    Ditto. Glad to hear things are well.

    Lets Look at Next Year

    About what I expected, actually a little better (I predicated 4-8). Challenging schedule. Excessive injuries, which as usual makes me question the sufficiency of conditioning. One of Schiano's best offenses and probably the most exciting. Inexplicably poor defense, even considering injuries...

    Thank you Kyle Monangai

    Simply amazing considering Kyle’s total yardage. Accidents happen. But, apparently, not here, EVER.

    Lost Weekend for RU Sports

    Nope, not new. RC '93. Joined what is now Knight Report in 2004, after a few years of lurking. Back to my question, didn't ask if there were greater disappointments with any single sport. Rather, can anyone recall a single weekend with greater multiple, across-the-board disappointment for...

    Lost Weekend for RU Sports

    Too perfect, "wow I haven't seen such a botched ending to a Rutgers sporting event since yesterday." We've certainly endured more than almost any other fan base in terms of repeated kicks to the balls. Even with this understanding, in 155-years have we ever experienced a more disappointing...

    Football ESPN FPI projects Rutgers Football's remaining 2024 schedule

    So, you're saying there's a chance.

    Football Rutgers Football's losing skid hits four games in 42-20 road loss to USC

    Wow, just wow, is this our worst defense in modern era? All opponents can presently score at will. If we're going to get Flood results, we should be paying our coaches Flood salaries.

    OT: RIP: Phil Lesh at 84

    Part of being a Deadhead is having parts of your youth ripped-away from you from time-to-time. As much as I'll miss Phil, at least, his passing was timely--unlike Pigpen, Vince, Brent and, of course, Jerry. At 84, Phil had already continued on with a liver transplant and had survived ongoing...

    OT: National Anthem, Game 3, 1977 Yankees at Dodgers with Linda Ronstadt

    BTW, that "The Last of Us" episode where "Long, Long Time" was featured is perhaps the finest standalone episode of any American television series this century, including anything from The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers, etc. If you have an HBO or MAX subscription, it's well worth...

    B12 Expanding East?

    Makes sense to me. Big 12 continues to expand in all directions for a 24+ membership base to survive as a lesser equal to the BIG and SEC based on pockets of significant regional presence (Texas, Arizona, Utah, Kansas, etc.) and larger overall geographic spread.
