OT: St. John's is the model of how college programs should be run?

Still don’t understand how swimming in money and hiring the best coach isn’t how the best programs should be run Chop?
Actually it’s the only way to run successful National Championship seeking programs.
See ND and Ohio St in football.
Michigan has a 9 million dollar recruit.

It's not that it's not a successful way to run a program (it clearly is), but to say that is how you "should" run a program is ignoring the fact that the vast majority of programs "can't" run that way because they don't have the $$$.

It's like telling someone who's struggling to pay their rent/utilities/etc that what they 'should' do is just have more money. Or like telling someone who's struggling to find a date that they just "should" be taller and more attractive.... easier said than done. I'm sure every program would love to snap their fingers and have their coffers as full as SJU.

OT: NFL 2025 Playoff Games Thread

I know I'm a biased Commanders fan, but has there ever been a turnaround story like them in the history of the NFL?

I'm honestly good with whatever happens on Sunday. However, I also realize that when you get a rare opportunity you have to make a grab at the ring. This is going to be a tough watch for me.
LOL!

Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue recently told confidants that Snyder is "the worst owner in the history of the National Football League."

OT: Another nice game by Simpson

Now that Simpson has had a few more Q1/Q2 games, I thought I'd revisit the stat comparison:

Per 100 possessions, comparing last year to this year:
2023-24: 18.5 pts, eFG% .340, 7.2 rb, 6.5 ast, 3.4 tov, 1.94 ast/tov, 3.1 stl, 2.9 pf
2024-25: 18.4 pts, eFG% .461, 7.7 rb, 7.0 ast, 3.7 tov, 1.88 ast/tov, 2.4 stl, 3.3 pf

St. Joseph's has now had 7 Q1/Q2 games vs. 13 Q3/Q4 games.

Here are his average stats vs. NET quadrants this year:
Q1/Q2: 32.2 min, 7.3 pts (10.7 FGA/.266 FG%, 4.2 3PA/.240 3P%, 1.0 FTA/.667 FT%), eFG% .313, 3.5 rb, 2.5 ast, 2.0 tov, 1.50 ast/tov, 1.3 stl, 1.5 pf
Q3/Q4: 31.8 min, 11.8 pts (9.0 FGA/.444 FG%, 4.5 3PA/.407 3P%, 2.5 FTA/.758 FT%), 3FG% .547, 4.4 rb, 4.3 ast, 2.1 tov, 2.07 ast/tov, 1.2 stl, 2.1 pf

Last year, Rutgers faced 21 games vs. Q1/Q2, and 11 vs Q3/Q4.
