OT: Sonoma State Dropping All Sports

I feel like most people go to a place like Sonoma or Rampo College or Indiana of Pennsylvania . That is the most common American collegiate experience. (Avg enrollment at U.S. colleges is 6,300) If they are dropping sports, it says something.

Realistically so far, they have failed in their mission to create value for their communities. They tend to focus on liberal arts students prefer while local communities need tech, trade and medical.

Program issues start with recruting and player renention …..

I don't want another offseason of adding 9 or 10 players. I would rather retain Derkack, Ogbole, and either JWill OR JMike (and Sommerville, Grant, and Dortch) just to have some continuity and guys that know the system, if they're willing to accept supporting roles. Note I said JWill "OR" JMike -- I don't think we need or want both.

Add the four freshmen for 2025 (Mark, Powers, Nwuli, and Ware), so that would be 10 guys.

But we ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, must add the following portal players:
  1. A starting PG -- not willing to bank on Lino Mark or JWill as my starting PG next year.
  2. A starting 2G
  3. A starting-caliber WF -- a 6-5 to 6-7 guard/wing who can do everything
  4. A rugged PF/C who can rebound and play defense and get putbacks.
The lineup next year should look like this:

1 - PORTAL#1, Mark (JWill OR JMike)
2 - PORTAL#2, Derkack, Powers
3 - PORTAL#3, Nwuli
4 - Grant (30 minutes), PORTAL#4, Dortch
5 - Sommerville, PORTAL#4, Ware, Ogbole

Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

@bethlehemfan is just a guy who has to take the opposite side of everything I say. Even going as far as to say the RAC is a liability for us recruiting and that the apc is a dump. He is not to be taken seriously
I did not say the apc is a dump. The rac is a dump. I also did not say it’s a liability. I said it is not a relative advantage. I also do not disagree with everything you say. I only disagree when I have a different opinion. We. Actually share similar views on lots of things. Just not basketball because you are a Smurf.

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

Are you the one who moved to Wilmington a few years ago?
This is our 6 or 7th year coming down for February and alternate between Murrell's and Ocean Isle every other year.

I just happened to look and see if RU might be playing coastal Carolina while there. Well they actually are..3 games... Starting the day we leave for Flagler beach FL. Crap!
Yea, actually in Leland, just across the River from Wilmington. Are you playing golf in MB ?

Rutgers wrestling seeks elusive win over top 10 team Sunday against Illinois

A couple of questions after that great match yesterday. First, towards the end of the match, there was a guy behind the scorer's table and about ten rows up in the stands, in the aisle, who was holding two fingers up and waving them at the scorer's table. It got Goodale's and other's attention. Goodale then said something to the scorer's table and held to fingers up. What was that about? Second, is there anyone here who saw the match live and/or replays that didnt think Poz had the takedown at the buzzer? I thought for sure, replay would have given it to him.
I was at the match. I think I recall the guy you are referring to but don’t remember what it was in reference to. Maybe the number of cautions called? I know there were a few match, maybe SCW where a wrestler had 2 cautions.
I was hoping they would give Poz the TD but watching live I didn’t think he had it
