market is still dropping…this is so stupid

Markets don’t go straight up. We’ve had a huge two year run, and corrections, many that have been much much greater than this, happen all the time. The stocks that dropped the most, were generally stocks that experienced ridiculous gains over the last few months (or longer).

Iverson was much quicker and obviously smaller. I know this is college, but I can't think of anyone that can finish at the rim like Dylan.

My pro questions for Dylan.....
1. Will his low release be an issue getting shots off
2. Can he finish at the rim against NBA length
3. Is he, right now, a point guard?

I think the answers are all positive for Dylan, but am not sure. If I were building a team I might be inclined to take Ace over Dylan because I think he is a safer pick.

Yeah, that was my point, Iverson was almost complete opposite of Dylan in body and pace of play.

I thought he may have an issue in college w his release. He hasn't really, but is shooting what, less than 33% from outside? Still needs to work on that part of his game. I see Dylan much like Harden. Harden, I don't think, has ever had a year where he shot that low from 3.

OT: NJ Devils 2024-2025 Thread

T
Sadly Fitz doesn't have a proactive bone in his body.

Blitzer and Harris care about acquisitions, not winning championships.

What happened to heavier, edgier, more violent? This team has stopped hitting and protecting one another. Fights not Hugs.

Why did we sign Big Mac to not Play him? Against the Flyers no less. Seeler should have had his ass kicked!

Timo's goal was with him on RW. If Keefe doesn't know Fitz should tell him about his March under Green. Unless Keefe doesn't have autonomy like Ruff. Either way this square peg in a round hole is frustrating.

We are now in Metro 3rd. Columbus, Philadelphia, and NYR are playing better and within 10 points. Forget just Fitz, if this team doesn't snap out of this and make the playoffs, there should be a house cleaning. Sadly ownership will not do anything.

Post Mortem by Lion - Delayed, RU vs MSU

My stats are always right unless they are wrong.

We are now more than 48 hours after the game and my thoughts are a bit more rational

Fans, especially me, should try and evaluate a player not based on how "hot or cold" the dice were. Ace shouldn't "suck" because he missed 13 shots in a row if they are good looks. Also if there were 4 plays were Ace made the right pass and the player missed the open shot we should really credit him with 2 assists (the expected amount....maybe 1.6 with this bunch)

Don't rewatch, but I am telling you all game on D he was flatfooted and really didn't move. He is not al all thinking of blocking out and is waiting for the ball to come to him.

Another thing......"freshman wall".....it is so easy to say he had a bad game and wasn't engaged as much as normal so he must be hitting the wall. I saw the freshman wall with my one kid and it is real and you get through it. Watching him flat footed and slow to react on D would be the sign.

I would have a better understanding of that than you. Big money people are not coming if they don't feel everyone is all in and yes SOME big money people started decades ago giving small amounts and gradually increased as their earnings increased.

This is just another way to blame the everyday fans. The big donors won't give unless the people who may not be able to afford it are giving? If the big donors aren't giving, they are the problem that needs to be worked on. I can see the small donor being much more interested in adding in when things are being done. Small donors aren't the ground work, they are the gravy.

OT: Ohio State 38 million dollar athletics budget deficit

P
Multiple stories/articles today in Pennsylvania about concerns from faculty, staff and students at Penn States 19 Branch Campuses and the need for the university to reduce costs this year alone of at least $54 million. Situation is getting worse and some Penn State Branch campuses have seen a student body reduction of 50% or more. Many students living close to a branch campuses can commute, its like having Penn State in your back yard. As the Baby Boom generation had a profound effect on schools so will the "Baby Bust" generation have the same effect only in a negative fashion.

Penn State to remodel Beaver Stadium at a cost of $700 million which will only be used 7 times a year. Does Penn State need a new field house. Million dollar HC and staff salaries,Taj Mahal athletic facilities and growing costs of NIL and Transfer Portal.

I think the primary job of a state university is education vs winning a National Championships.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

People spent money to get something in return - a trip to MSG and a basketball game. How many of those 17K would have attended if it cost an extra $300 per ticket for no additional return? Many fans are already dropping several hundred dollars a year on season tickets/parking/etc - to ask them for another $300 that they get zero additional benefit from is not going to get many takers.

It's basically asking people to give money to charity... but it doesn't have any charitable benefit and it's not even tax deductible (like the same donation to the University itself would be)

Also, the "living in poverty" is a misunderstanding of just how little "extra" cash most people have. 80% of the country has less than $5K in savings. For those that do have that much, what percent do you think are willing to part with $300 (per year!) for nothing in return.

If someone has enough disposable income to toss $5-10K toward their favorite college team, that's great - but most people probably aren't financially comfortable enough to even toss $50 in that particular bucket.

Also the "not doing anything of substance" - every ticket someone buys for a game and every time they pay for parking, they're doing something of substance for the team. It's the team's job to give enough entertainment value back to the fans that makes people want to spend their $$$ on watching the team play.

The added benefit they get should be to watch a better team. Will one persons $300 take us to the promise land? Of course not, but many people donating smaller amounts will 100% have an effect.

Listen, you gotta stop with the "people don't have it" crap. Obviously if you don't have it you aren't going to give it. No one is asking a person who can't make ends meet to donate to RU's NIL. But don't tell me A TON of RU fans who live in the tri state area don't have $25 a month. They do...

And like you said further down in the thread, you choose not to give. And that is your right and I get why people don't. I actually give more of the money I donate to RU to facilities over NIL (although I do both). What is annoying to me (and why I posted in this thread in the first place) are the posters who don't give, say it's not on them to give and what they would give doesn't matter, and then go on to bash everything wrong relentlessly every day in every thread. We all need to own that we are part of the problem as well. How much better would we be right now if Pike had another million from smaller donations? How about 2? I'd argue a lot....
