OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread

My wife and I will be near Port St Lucie (Hutchinson Island Resort) first 10 days of March and have tickets to 3 games. My wife was at game when Mets clinched pennant in 1969 and has been a fan for longer than that. A Mets Spring Training trip has become an annual tradition. We have always had a good time. 🌝⚾️

OT: Stormy and Potentially Snowy from about 2/8-2/22? (pg 9); OG Thread: Cold and Potentially Snowy Pattern Likely for Most of January

I've said before that I'm in Florida with family, so pretty busy doing some maintenance/health stuff for our 91 year old dad, plus having some fun with my sister and brother and their SOs and my wife/son/his fiancee. So minimal posting here or anywhere else. I might not ordinarily start a thread for an inch or two (or less) of snow/sleet, but the risk of freezing rain is there and that deserves some attention, as I'm sure we're going to see advisories for most of the area, just based on the freezing rain threat, as per the discussion you posted from the NWS above.
Yes you ordinarily start threads for 1 inches...all year long

OT: Star Ledger ending Print Edition This Weekend

It never surprises me how callous people can be cheering on people losing their jobs. One of my best friends in the world and his brother, who have been working at the SL for 40+ years on the production side of things, lost their jobs.
I believe these callous people are also known as puerile little douchebags.

If you took a poll of everyone that post on this site which are supposed to be die hard Rutgers alums and fans. I will include the other site as well. I would say 95% of the posters chose to not donate. These are the die hards. I don’t understand what Pike was supposed to do. He mentioned it plenty of times of how important NIL going forward is. NIL is hated here and with the history of this fanbase and donations to Rutgers it’s so very easy to blame Pike when most of you gave zero.
You go after sponsors, not fans. If you can't get a sugar daddy, you need businesses to put money toward endorsements/etc. You know, actually finding entities to license the players' names, images, and likenesses, what NIL was intended to be.

Instead, it's like we're talking about passing around a basket among the faithful at church.

Odd yelling at the diehards who already pay all the points fees, donated and and supported RU through thick and thin and 30 years of ineptitude.

While perhaps season ticket holder contributions are a minor problem, the bigger problem is there are not enough big whales/sharks.

Imagine if we were able to keep Eugene, Jacob, Cam, Paul, Cliff, Mags, for extra years.

Hard to blame Pike if no real NiL.
