I finally had a chance to look at the ASU/UT game and the non-targeting call. ASU got screwed. It should be a No-SEC semifinal match. How is this NOT targeting? Hitting the head and neck area plus using the crown of the helmet. That this was reviewed and not called is ridiculous.

I thought that was targeting because of defenseless player but I've seen plenty of helmet to helmet hits that aren't called that way. I don't think anyone knows what targeting is. But for the helmet part of the rule, it almost literally has to be on the bullseye with top crown of the helmet. Any little variation off center of that crown and I've seen it not be called many times. I think the throwing out of the game and missing part of a game part of the penalty is what makes the ref let some of them go. If it was just a 15yd penalty, I think more would get called.

They missed few calls in that game both ways. There was an earlier play that could have been against ASU for defenseless player as well and I wondered if they would call it but they didn't. So to be fair, even though I thought this one should have been called the other one wasn't either.

They also missed an illegal blindside block on Texas' punt return for a TD. They missed the ASU OL pulling CS over the goal line for an ASU TD as well. I thought it was funny at the time but I don't think it's allowed. Tush push is allowed but I don't think pulling is.

Is that what we're getting to?

I don't know why the D hasn't been good with those names. I think there is no debating they give us the best chance.

The problem with the shake up is no one is really deserving of the extra minutes and i truly feel our best 5 perimeter players (unfortunately) are those 5.

I'd love Grant to come out of nowhere and do what Mag did as a sophomore against Purdue....but given the fact that he is sitting over Martini I am losing hope that is in the cards.

From what I read from the experiences some on this thread talked about, not having a pet health plan should scare anyone that will want to keep their pet around them and willing to pay what it takes to do so.
If you're not willing to do the best you can for your pet and pay what's needed to keep them healthy, getting a pet is not for you. They are a commitment,, not a disposable toy

Who is starting really doesn't matter.The half court defense/rebounding stinks and the offense is limited to Bailey and Harper because there is no offensive flow to get other players open shots. The shots they do take are often missed because of pressure to be successful or simple lack of talent.The woeful foul shooting comes back to haunt Rutgers in close games.Bottom line high expectations are slowly changing to bitter disappointment.

Feel free to mock me....

It just doesn't make sense unless the "5" position is really really bad.....which could be it.

Individually, with the exception of Cliff, we are better defensively than last year.......I think/hope

Not mocking. Just us all having a good discussion because we care and want the team to win. I for one love defense first but sometimes you have to look at the analytics. Our defense has been terrible with the names you want more of. And two or our top 4 three point shooters are ninth and tenth in minutes. When I was coaching HS I found if you want to shake it up you have to really shake it up. You can’t convince yourself things will just get better if you leave them the way they’ve been for so long.

This will not end well for the home team.

If we continue to insist on having our bigs switch on the perimeter and chase guards and wings around, I would like to see Dortsch get some minutes at the 5. Ogbole is always out of position, has terrible instincts and plays bad post defense, which is why he is always getting pulled, so I would give Dortsch some of his minutes. Hard to believe he could be worse.

Martini didn't even play against Penn State!!

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I have a thought.

More about who is not in my lineup. Martini seems like a great character guy. Let him cheerlead from the bench

I'd like to emotionally detach myself from the team this season so I can be thoroughly entertained by the Harper/Bailey show regardless of the game outcomes. Not sure if I can do that.

you saw the gear in Vegas......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Why can't Dylan and Ace play 38 minutes the7're 18 years old they get a 3-4 minute break every 4 minutes I don't get it because we need both of them for 38 minutes and NEVER EVER should both of them be off the floor together which Pikell has done and I don't get that

Click to expand...

Why can't someone run a 3:45 mile or a sub 2 hour marathon?

Why do hockey players need to come off the ice after 45 seconds shifts and are absolutely gassed if on the ice for 2 minutes?

Plus Ace isn't in the best cardio shape.


The both of them should never ever be off the floor is a debate where i can see both sides. It is a debate with 2 sides that make sense. I see both sides and am on the fence.
