OT: PGA and LIV Golf to merge….

Guys like Brooks, BDC and Rahm are in their prime and took the funds. Then there are the guys you are referencing…guys past their prime that wanted a payday. However there are also young guys that took the guaranteed cash over supporting themselves on the PGA and KF tours. Can’t blame them for taking the $.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

OT: Stock and Investment Talk

X has been accommodating more government requests than ever before. More accounts and posts have been deleted (aka censored) than ever before. So much for free speech.

The talented employees all left when Musk started treating them like serfs, because there’s fierce competition for talented devs, greatly diminishing the company’s prior technical prowess.

Financially, it’s a disaster.


“Musk bought Twitter in a $44 billion (enterprise value) deal during 2022. Forbes estimates that the social media company, which he renamed X, is worth nearly 70% less as of August 2024.”

But sure, it’s a million times better. 🤣
No way more has been censored than ever before. That’s what makes it so much better now.

OT: Any Burned Out Teachers in Here?

Insane? Probably not. Some people feel that it is their calling to go into education or law enforcement and make a difference. If they didn't, you and your family would not be educated and/or protected. They should be commended and not labeled.

I know..this is like the first thread that has ever been resurrected...very weird.

Sudden and random old thread revival is not unique to this topic.

You know this all too well.

Well, usually that is a legendary thread by a legendary poster .
This is people complaining about their jobs after a 2.5 month vacation

Jamichael Davis was recognized as 20 under-the-radar breakout players by Jon Rothstein

I said it all summer, he will play less than people think.

Hahaha. Someone has to be right!

Note: I also said the same about JWill though.
So maybe like the original post said - If Davis takes minutes from JWill then I'm both wrong and right.

Davis is such a "Pike guy". He will play, and if his offense improves, he will play a lot

ESPN 2024-25 preseason top 25 men's college basketball rankings

Notice how many teams have huge turnover and question marks. The Top 25 is wide open this season. RU could end up in the Top 25, or not ... none of us know.

Also, notice how many teams are relying on transfers from lower level schools to produce - according to the write-ups of various teams.

Yet the RU write-up does not mention the so-called credentials of the RU transfers. While RU's ultimate performance this season will rely very, very heavily on the performance of Harper and Bailey, the write-up of RU only mentions RU's transfers by name, not mentioning that Derkack was both Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in his conference, or that Acuff was the #7 scorer in the NCAA last year (albeit, both for weak conferences). Now most of us think those 2 are just reserves, agreeing with the write-up. But even so ... Just saying ...

Still, if this pre-season ranking is worth anything, it does put RU in the Top 5 of the Big Ten. Which is kind of cool.
This is a non issue. There is one paragraph about each team and obviously the focus is on Dylan and Ace, not a bench role player

OTC: Watching Rutgers games abroad

I will be traveling abroad next week for my annual medical mission, but its longer than usual, I have the xfinity app but its limited and does not get B10 abroad. I am not smart technically. I was told to get a "VPN" -surfshark, and then I can get all the channels I want through my xfinity app and not miss a Rutgers game. Does anyone have advice for me? I will be in the jungles of India, watching Rutgers games is more important to me than getting malaria, TB or dengue.😀
VPN is a very good suggestion. Internet service in the jungles of India is likely to be very spotty. Staying in a hotel to watch the game is probably your best bet. Good Luck.
