OT: Cold and Potentially Snowy Pattern Likely for Most of January

Do you forget the last map you posted last Sunday that had over 5.5in in Philadelphia while it was 39 degrees and we got 2.0 officially and less in Center City? Your pattern was only accurate by temps not by snow in Philly. Stop moving the bar!

Please just stop posting nonsense. My thread was for cold/snow from 1/4-1/25 and Philly was right on average for that period, which is still a miss vs. what I said could happen in the pattern, but the snow was NOT below normal for that period. This thread has 0.0 to do with the forecast for Philly being too high for snow on 1/19.

So I’m in Hamilton NJ. Is that map saying I had 8.2” of snow this season? No way that’s true.

Those maps can only be so granular. The 8.2" spot, I believe, is Trenton and that's actually low as the NWS site lists 10.5" for Trenton, so far, this season. Hamilton could be different.

The lack of NIL isn’t the fans fault, it’s Pike’s fault

RUChoppin
To those saying that Pike's job is to "coach and recruit" (and not to fundraise) - you are living in the past. That was what he was hired for in 2016... but the game has changed.

"Recruiting" has now expanded to mean much more than it ever did. You now need to re-recruit every player on your roster, every year. And the promise of tuition, room and board, and an opportunity to play are no longer the full package when recruiting - NIL is a huge part of the recruiting equation.

If Pike isn't elbows deep in wooing and securing NIL funding, he's falling behind his peers (and not fulfilling the "and recruit" portion of his job).

Soliciting from the general fanbase is next to meaningless, though. It will never come close to footing the bill. If someone isn't writing at least an upper-five-figure check, they aren't worth Pike's time.

For Philadelphia, the pattern was accurate for being colder than normal and a little off for snow, relative to it being "snowier than average," as snowfall for the period was right on the average, not "way off;" details below Total precip was way below normal, but that wasn't part of the original post. For the last storm, the NWS saw the early morning models all bump up snowfall amounts appreciably, so they raised the snowfall forecast a bit - that ended being wrong, but I wouldn't say it was unjustified given the data at hand.
  • For temps, Philly was 6.4F below normal for the 1/4-1/25 period, which is way below normal (vs. the Jan avg of 41/28F), as it was the 2nd coldest January in the last 30 years and the 13th coldest in the 84 years since 1941 (when records started being kept at the airport) and was even a bit colder than NB's 4.7F below normal for the same period.
  • For snow, Philly got 4.6" from 1/4-1/25 (at the airport, the official location of record since 1941) and this is just about average for that period, as Philly gets 6.4" in January on average, so over 22 days one would expect 4.5" of snow - that's not way off.
  • For precip as I mentioned above, Philly might have a record low for January as they have 0.39", so far vs. a lowest ever of 0.45". I also never made any predictions about total precip, just cold and snow.

Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

In other words before even raising money from potential donors pike started with $5mm. $4mm for ace and dylan and $1mm from vegas. Anyone defending pike here is bananas

The "dropped in their lap for free" is really an oversimplification. We got Bailey and Harper to commit to Rutgers, but they were such high profile players that NIL was going to follow them wherever they went. It wasn't that the players were dropped in our lap - we had to recruit the players and get them to commit - it was just that the NIL to secure them was already mostly baked into the deal (they'd have gotten it pretty much wherever they went).

So the NIL for those players was largely bonus - which means that the NIL we had for the rest of the team was what Rutgers itself could pull for non-feature players. It wouldn't have been enough to keep Omoruyi. It was used to assemble a supporting cast from the portal, but clearly there were misjudgements made on how well that cast would perform.

If we got two other players not named Bailey/Harper, we wouldn't have pulled the $4M. We were able to secure their commitment, so money followed along with them. We do not have some innate ability to pull NIL funds for roleplayers.

what i am saying is our peers do not have someone paying $4 million for 2 players...its not rutgers paying it. Northwestern or even Illinois isnt paying 4 million for 2 players

Rutgers had an incredible advantage situation vs our peers, it should not have that difficult to come up with a supporting cast and to spread some money out. We pissed away any advantage

You're mostly right but this narrative of only the rich can save us when it comes to donations, that needs to stop. Every single donor is important.

I get what you're saying but Al's 'Miami fans pony up' statements are ridiculous considering UM's fairweather fanbase and their sports notoriously drawing like crap. UM has a big handful of high-roller donors who fund their NIL; it's not like the 25k who show up at Hard Rock or the maybe 2k who actually attend UM basketball games are ponying up 10k each for NIL.

Politi NAILS IT on Pikiell’s Postgame Comments

Not Me GIF by Complex

I have always hated Politi and his schtick, and you and I have disagreed about it. That's what makes this board interesting. Respectful disagreements. These people clinging on to Politi are hilarious.

Pikiell is a nice guy,and when nice guys finish last, it can be brutal. But he fed the hype for this season, and not he has to deal with the fallout.

That said, I just listened to the post-game presser, and if that is what Politi's article is ranting and raving about, he has lowered his idiot bar even lower. I have no problem with the way Pikiell answered the questions. Pikiell is a positive mindset kind of coach. Thankfully, he not a Cronin.

Bringing up GPA is moving the goalposts. Schiano 1.0 and APR, and now Pike dropping the clumsy GPA misdirection is par for the course for coaches who aren’t winning.

Besides, most of the courses are assuredly the easiest in the university and the players have access to an army of academic support staff.

His job is to win games. Period. Photo ops at a hospital or bragging about grades isn’t good enough.
