3.5mm households in NJ. ADD a RU NIL tax of $20 per household. $7mm, problem solved.

Great job by the team. Never easy coming back from a tough match like Friday's against PSU. Major congrats to the wrestlers and coaches!!! Go RU!

Another thought, there were 17,000 plus at msg yesterday. Many love their Knights. But success also generates donations. Had they built on the 2019-2021 success I feel NIL wouldn’t really be a problem. Instead poor recruiting, poor player development and retention, all but ignoring offensive talent and schemes until this year and now we’ve completed the bell curve of basement-good-basement in about 4-5 year increments.

This times a million in a nutshell. We didn't build on the success. Instead we got Reiber, Palmquist, Jaden Jones, Jalen Miller, Austin Williams, Noah Fernandes . . . and so forth.

Obviously he hasn't done a good enough job convincing them to donate the big bucks he really needed this year. Or expanded his network, as Greg did. Otherwise we wouldn't be in this CF.

Bryce Harper called and suggested that the money might be better directed elsewhere.

Where is PIKE going out on a limb and meeting donors face to face (esp ones with money)? Schiano goes out and builds relationships. Pike hasn’t. It was absolutely criminal that with all the time he knew Harper and Ace were coming that he couldn’t get enough money for a competent surrounding cast.

Add this one to your long list of uninformed threads. Again and admittedly I only know a small sample of true money folks but I can promise you they all know Pike personally.

Credit to the Eagles and Barkley has been awesome but I do get irked thinking about all the hypocritical Eagles fans bad mouthing Barkley saying he sucked and he always hurt over the years when he was with the Giants. Same jackasses are now claiming him as if he was a native son. I still think the winner of the other game wins the Super Bowl.

Do the Giants get a ring if the Eagles win?

If RU had a fieldhouse, the team would have an efficient half court offense and would be able to make layups. On a serious note, the reason for the disappointing season is poor fundamentals at both ends and an inability to utilize the strengths of the players on the roster.

Fans see the results and not the process. We assume what the process is by the results, but except for a few insiders, we are 100% ignorant of the process.

Would you rather have Scott Rolen or David Wright on your team?

Your question walks directly past the issue of his injury and how his productive years were cut short. So, for instance, if I were to remain quiet about that too and simply assume that you're talking about the 2014-18 David Wright, I get to easily say Rolen.

That's the point, isn't it? David was on his way but the injury killed any chance he has for the Hall. Now, if the first 10 years of David's career had been like Koufax's first 10 years, he'd be in. But he wasn't that good, and then his production fell off the cliff with the injury. So I don't see him getting in.

Not having an alternative plan is a big problem !

The argument against your post is that the Mets do want Alonso back as it’s not solely the fans wanting him back.

As the cards are now - the Mets are a better team with Alonso than without him given the current roster and given the current free agent options.

Boras knows this and hence the current stalemate !

What big problem? Who says that they don't have an alternative plan? More than an alternative plan, I'm confident that they have a broad plan on how to build the system and the team, and that fans are just reactionary.

Next you say that the Mets do want Alonso back. Again, that's amateur fan talk. I'm sure that the Mets have a broad plan and that Alonso fits into it at the right price, years, and terms, but then that he doesn't fit into it when those things are wrong.

But you think differently and are announcing the ways in which the Mets will be better or worse, all focused on Alonso. Forgive me if I put my money on Stearns and not a fan getting that right.
