I’ve been watching hockey my entire life. Those looked like staged fights. I could be wrong, but not sure a drop of blood was spilled or a single punch connected.

I did see an article after the game explaining how the fights were discussed before the game. I forget the source, but they did look that way.

For a non-weather follower what would be an appropriate day for me to check any weather estimate? Do I need to just wait until the day before for any accuracy?

Looks like Packer and none of last 4. Wouldn’t shock me if Casale being held out if Poz cannot go as he looked injured and defeated. Who knows on other 3.

Only 3 of the global models run far enough out at 6Z to encompass Thursday's storm, but overall those 3 are snowier than last night's 0Z runs. The Euro is about the same as last night, i.e., 7-9" along 95 from Wilmington to NYC (less NW of there and more SE), while the GFS is somewhat snowier (2-3" along 95 at 6Z vs. <1" at 0Z) and the 6Z ICON is significantly snowier, looking much like the 6Z Euro with 7-9" along 95 (vs. 3-4" along 95 at 0Z).

Also, it should be noted that the Euro-AIFS model shifted the snow shield a fair amount NW at 0Z last night (didn't have that data when I posted) and it now shows about 6" along 95 (less NW/more SE) vs. about 3" along 95 at 18Z; and the 6Z AIFS just came in even a little snowier than 0Z with maybe 7-8" along 95. This is important as the AIFS has consistently been showing little to no snow for days along 95.

Bottom line is things look to have shifted a bit snowier at 6Z this morning, but it's still way too early for a forecast, given how exquisitely fragile this setup is and how wildly precip amounts are fluctuating from run to run.

• The 12Z ICON shows a couple of inches for Cape May and the DelMarVa and that's it - big move SE relative to 6Z
• The 12Z GFS ticked a little bit SE with the snow, now showing 1-2" for 95 and 4-6" at the coast
• The 12Z CMC ticked a bit SE and now shows a complete miss for everyone
• The 12Z UK ticked a bit SE and shows a minor event for far SENJ and that's it
• And the 12Z Euro ticked SE a bit with 4-7" along 95, less NW and up to 12" at the coast. It's the only current model that still has substantial snow for the 95 corridor.
• The CMC ensemble mean shows only a couple of inches for SENJ, while the GFS ensembles show a few inches for most and a bit more for coastal areas.
• Finally, the Euro-AIFS moved back SE significantly only bringing minor snow to 95 and a few inches towards the coast.

You do show up bias as you post it in the other weather thread that you will not start to worry unless you see a significant shift. That to me is a biashttps://rutgers.forums.rivals.com/threads/ot-stormy-and-potentially-snowy-from-about-2-8-2-22-pg-9-og-thread-cold-and-potentially-snowy-pattern-likely-for-most-of-january.287192/post-7139070

Pikiell has never had a winning season without him. He never had a losing season with him.

Career without: 71-84
Career with: 73-52

Caleb McConnell overlaps but you have to add the 2018-2019 season.

I hate to be the facts only person on the message boards, instead of generic catch phrases, but sometimes until you see something on paper, it doesn't register.

First of all.....for fans.....you simply cannot put ANY guards or wings onto the floor against elite, SEC, B1G competition and make blind or dumb statements like "Pike has to bring in new assistant coaches to run an offense"....players recruited actually do matter.

Why does this matter in terms of guards?? Because guards who can play offense AND defense with an ability to make individual plays, allows you to win or compete in games. And I have to assume that every guard recruited in the B1G or SEC, can dribble, pass, shoot and score from 3 point range BUT not always.........what's most alarming is not the 3 point %, percentages ONLY matter if there are enough attempts AND can that player taking the attempts, play defense, rebound, playmake....

Here are the number of 3s made by B1G team guards....not every guard, but the primary 3 to 4 players on each B1G roster who play meaningful games or minutes.....

Here are the total 3 pointers made by the primary guards (3 to 4 guards of all 18 teams)

Maryland 162
Wisconsin 161
OSU 152
Illinois 136*
Purdue 132
Nebraska 122
Michigan 120
Washington 119
Oregon 109
USC 106
Indiana 104
Iowa 104
PSU 102
MSU 97
UCLA 95
NW 95
Minnesota 94
RU 92

These are 3 pointers made by our primary guards ( which excludes PJ Hayes 16-48, since 9 of his 3s were in the 1st 5 games and he has not played a lot of minutes in games).

Harper 34-104
Acuff 27-69
JMike 13-38
Derkack 10-40
JWill 8-34

If you consider playing most of 5 B1G games without Dylan Harper and some games where Acuff barely played at all, the 92 3s or a threat of a 3 is impossible with JWill, JMike (whos percentage is good, but not a ton of attempts), and Derkack.....

Same limitations 2 years ago, Spencer carried the workload and very little from Mag, Mulcahy or Caleb from 3....Hyatt shot and made some but hes technically a forward and Simpson were not good either but better than Caleb and Mag.......both low volume and low percentage shooters, but very good on defense.

The notion that you can "run an offense" with sub 25 to 30% 3 point shooters like Caleb, Mag, Simpson 2 years ago and now JWill, Derkack and JMike is literally impossible.

As a comparison, the 3 primary guards at Maryland....

Gillespie 59-145 (40.6%)
Miguel 52-120 (43.33%)
Rice 51-139 (36.7%)

I can coach Maryland, Wisconsin others from my recliner at home.....but if you think playing PJ Hayes and Acuff solves the problem, if they cannot playmake on offense OR play good 1 on 1 defense, the number of 3s allowed and the shooting percentages of our opponents, goes up.

To recap, if Harper missed 1/2 PSU, MSU, Indiana etc, what offense are you running and how can you play good defense, if the players don't do both offense and defense at a B1G level??

Comes down to guards and complete guard recruiting.....which usually means $$$, NIL etc.....and having Adidas as an anchor instead of Nike, 100% kills you in recruiting the better players.....

Nike is solved and why 2024 and 2025 recruiting is getting cleaned up, but for this season, 13, 10 and 8 made 3 pointers from 3 of your 5 primary guards with 80% of the season complete, is a LOT to coach around.

I ageee with you….mostly. The one issue is that because the floor is somewhat too low, there are 1/4 to 1/3 of the 100 level that easily sell their tickets at the first sign of struggle . I deal with plenty of the opposing fans next to me who bought tickets for approx $100….
