OT: 2024 Philadelphia Eagles Season Thread

Ironically, he's married & has a daughter. I wonder how he would feel if they were on the receiving end of his tirade.

NJ dot com will soon have an article "man who works for CEO/Chairman and Rutgers Grad, Randall Pinkett, goes on tirade at the Linc"

Had no idea! RU track alum!

Nebraska

Their home dominance is driven by defense. Efficiency wise they are #8 nationally at home, dropping to #67 on the road

Offensively not very impressive actually slightly worse at home #135 at home and #120 when away

Key seems to be 3 point shooting. Home or away they allow a ton of 3 point attempts. Both ranking close to #360. However the shooting % of those shots is dramatically different home vs away. Teams hitting near 40% on the road but only 24% at Nebraska.

Think they have both been a bit lucky at home and unlucky on the road with 3 point defense.

OT: Tommy Brown Dead at 97

Brown played 9 years in the Majors as a utility-man and served in the Army during the 1946 season

Nice win for a “gutted” program

Um, that line up, while getting accustomed to each other, managed to finally seize control of the game while playing the first minutes of the second half.
Acuff complemented Harper allowing for the spacing and complementary game for him to explode, on the other end that lineup defended rebounded to allow for RU to seize control, for the first time I can remember all season.
The last minutes played together matter the most especially when you are talking about 4 freshman.
Moving forward in the second half starting that lineup set up the rotations and substitutions for the rest of the game to allow for the team to put together its best performance to date.
But thanks for analytics, which lots of times don’t tell the full story.
The first minutes of the second half = scoreboard.
Rutgers has struggled all season to take leads and make plays to seize control, that lineup finally broke through❗️
BAC you know I am right.
We'll see, hope it is the line up that allows things to take off, but for one night, it wasn't responsible. Dylan turned the game around, mostly on his own, with a little help from Ace. Acuff, who I really think will be a key, was pretty non existent, I mostly don't credit the line up for the other night. It will get better though.
I agree, rotations were better, part of that was not putting the ball in the wrong hands. We stayed big with EO and Martini, keeping Ace to be a difference making 3.

OT: Tommy Brown Dead at 97

He dropped out of high school to sign with the Brooklyn Dodgers at 16 in 1944,hitting a home run the following year to become the youngest-and still the youngest-player ever to homer.He was the last player to play during WWII.
Though he also played with the Cubs and the Phillies,he was not their old living player.That distinction is still belonging to 99 year old Bobby Shantz.The oldest living Dodger is now 94 year old Bob Lillis,who started in 1958,after the move from Brooklyn.

THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-NEBRASKA PREDICTION THREAD

Idk despite the win the other day I didn't see much to think we're gonna go on a tear. More like, we'll win the occasional game.

Nebraska 87
Rutgers 69
I mostly agree, with some exceptions. The game was definitely kinda ugly, which I attribute to the UCLA press and them fouling us a lot.

Plus, Dylan only played 24 minutes, when he would normally play at least 32 minutes.

That said, we had 10 offensive rebounds and 7 blocked shots, and only 10 turnovers for the game.

I also liked our switches on D, which looked the best I’ve seen this year.

So, some reason for optimism going forward, imo.
