OT: Winter Storm Thursday 2/20: Very Likely Somewhere Between A Non-Event and a Minor Event (oof)

Well 5 days before ain't it...
I posted this thread a little over 4 days before the start of the event. Have posted threads on most previous big storms about 5 days before. The point with potential big storms is people like to have a heads up in case they have travel or other concerns, so they con consider changing plans, even without knowing for sure if the big storm will be the outcome. It's a heads up outlining the range of possibilities, not a forecast.

Today RU's offense put up the worst number of goals in the Brecht era. You have to go back to the Stagnitta era to find a worse performance. My view about Seremet questions whether he is capable of handling a young team. Much of his success has come with coaching talented veterans. The offense has not established any kind of flow. The LIU score was produced by talent and athleticism. The Stony Brook game was a warning. Today was a red flag.

The veterans are not doing it. We can't afford to have this continue. Sit the veterans and play the youngsters. If you are going to lose, then at least do it with guys who have more eligibility. I can live with that. At the end of the season, make the OC change.

What a shame. The defense is not the problem.

On a brighter note, Maryland handled the highly touted Orange. More fun playing in the Dome against cupcakes.

OT: Your stories of a brush with famous people.

At a house party in Edison, there was an older guy hanging out amongst the 20-somethings. He was dating a friend of mine. I remember he was really good at playing guitar and was a really chill guy. It wasn't until I got home I learned he was Tim Reynolds, guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band. I just knew him as Tim.

Edited to get his name right 😆

Here is the reality on "running an offense ".....

I am talking specifically about the stats and not to your point!

Here is why my KenPom, Bart, or analytical driven friends need to look under the covers at numbers.
3 pt attempts
Ft attempts
Offensive boards.

Does anyone who watched the season believe we excel at making 3’s or Ft? Are we a good rebounding team?

I realize Pike finally playing Grant and Dortch has helped.
I get what you are saying, BUT I think we don't excel at making them because of the talent, not the system. The system is getting us the looks and the attempts. Remember, my #'s above are in conference only, so not built up by any fluff on the schedule. Defense is the teams biggest issue, then the well roundedness of the talent. How much of the defense is on coaching is a very valid argument.

Another cool one that I forgot. In 2015 my son shot a one on one commercial with Eli Manning at the Giants facility. After the shoot, Eli played catch with him. My son caught every ball he threw him. I was in heaven. I said I was proud of him catching every ball. My son responded: “He throws much better than you, dad”

Here’s the commercial:
