When I ran road races competitively back a few moons ago, I'd have a subpar race but typically finish at the top ar near in my age group on a day when the competition wasn't great I'd lament and tell my running mentor about my pedestrian success. His response was 'you beat whoever showed up. Plenty of people were home doing nothing. You beat them all." That rings in my ear to this day. Pos and Turley are All Americans.

Absolutely. Doesn’t matter who they faced, they don’t control the bracket. You wrestle who is in front of you.

From the 24/7 2024 Transfer ratings

Derkack -162
Acuff - 348
Martini -429
Hayes - didn't make the top 480

That is discouraging !

Click to expand...

Wow - I had no idea they were all THAT low!!!

Acuff rating is surprising just considering his scoring

Also interesting how the ratings have correlated to their relative contribution to the team and likely relative to all transfers (eg dercack only one that has made a marginally-decent contribution- what you might expect the #162 rated transfer to do)

Eh. It’s not as if we’ve generally brought in all these stud recruits in past years.

Not bringing in a rim protector was the biggest issue. I find it very hard to believe we can’t afford and/or convince one to come to Rutgers. Cliff and MJ left and joined teams where they played utility roles. You can’t tell me there aren’t utility guys on other teams like them who could’ve been brought in to play their role. If those guys had gone to their final destinations first they would not have had the same price tags associated because their stats would look much less enticing. Pike needs to do his homework this offseason. We need a bruiser. Give Pike that and his team will compete game in and out. I truly believe that. And guess what - if the cost of doing this is Lathan hitting the road it’s a price we must pay. We’re not going to win without a real 5. The style D Pike aims for just doesn’t allow for it. Folks who want Lathan to be our center need to convince Jay Wright to come coach. We don’t play that style and the odds of Pike suddenly having success in a way that he’s never had it before feels like poor odds to me. Just my opinion.

I liked season 1 of The Bear but couldn’t get through the 2nd episode of season 2. It seemed they decided to just give each actor a full show monologue to win more awards.

What is the purpose of a spring game that they can't do at practice? If it's just for the fans, then it doesn't matter if it stays or goes.

You’re an embarrassment to Americans. Move to Canada. You may hate our President but what did the players do? They didn’t embarrass the USA like the women’s soccer team did. I bet you still rooted for them.

Only got to see the OT and highlights since it was poker night, but very happy for Canada and McDavid, the best player in the world and the most fun to watch. I root for the US in most sports, but always root for Canada in hockey - it's their game and especially the last few decades it's been sad to see no Canadian teams winning the Stanley Cup.

No team in the history of team sports has played every individual game according to their season’s average. You win or lose most often by either exceeding or falling short of your average (or your opponent’s average), respectively.

Of course. The point was - we still needed overtime to win, despite two of our worst shooters going a perfect 3 for 3 from long range. It was in response to the posts saying we won because Dylan played well. Sure - we needed that too. But we don’t win without two of our worst shooters having atypically good days from long range. These are guys that the scouting report says not to worry much about guarding on the perimeter. And again, we still needed OT because our D is just really bad.

You do know that the 51st state thing is never going to happen, right? ANYWAY, you pulled for canadians to beat your fellow Americans because of something our President said? Actually, A LOT of people would say that France has been our closest ally. They did help us win our independence.

My good friend Pete Santiago, another Melody DJ who is best friends with Matt (they DJ-ed our wedding in 1991, as they DJ-ed events together back then), said he spoke to Matt two days ago and that "He’s doing and getting better." I'm sure I'll hear more at the Reunion at the Elks this Saturday, which is on, despite some last minute drama, as it sounds like the Elks building (which they don't own and has many tenants) is finally being sold and will either be demolished or renovated (been talking about this for years though) and for a minute it was thought we'd have to find an alternate venue. Probably the last one there though.

Shouldn't get any black ice with temps way below 32F - usually get that when temps go above 32F leading to some melting which refreezes when temps go back below 32F. Nothing should melt tonight.

I've barely missed any disc golf due to the weather. I actually enjoy playing in the snow, as long as it's not too deep (easy to lose discs), which hasn't been an issue this winter and I'll play with temps in the 20s with light winds and in the 30s with some wind. 20s and windy is a bit more than I want to play in, but we don't get too much of that.
