Lazy deadbeats vacation is over. Great job by the Trump administration. Pay your debts freeloaders.

Once the new building in downtown New Brunswick is open, what will the current Med School Tower in Piscataway next to the golf course be used for? Any announcements yet?

Possibilities—

Dorm
Move the Dental School from Newark
Open another branch of the Dental School
Law School
More space for Engineering
Mixture of Sciences/Health Schools

Complete joke :

-Notably, Michigan is not suspending Moore for the first two games, which allows him to coach against his alma mater, Oklahoma, in Week 2 in Norman.

-Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel recently said he has not had any conversations with the NCAA about a potential postseason ban.

-"What I can point to is that Charlie Baker, when we won the championship, said they won it fair and square," Manuel told 247Sports.

Here it is

An early deluge for OSU. Out in front 4-0. MD called a TO to try to settle things down at 3-0. Thought it might work. What do I know?

So despite the weather the Spring Tailgate went off without a hitch. At worst we had a light mist coming down, but for the more part it was dry with an occasional peek through of sun. A good number of people bailed because of the weather, so we had a much smaller crew. We did chicken skewers, salmon, veggie kabobs and hotdogs. Oh, and scotch.

First time doing my salmon recipe at the tailgate, so I prepped it the night before. Been meaning to do it since last fall, but the four straight noon games to end the season scuppered that.



Got the tailgate going shortly after 10:



We set up a couple of canopies, bungee corded them to the fence and put up a tarp as a wind break, so it worked out pretty well.



Part of the crew - ended up with just 11 total.

Things to get lost from time to time here, especially some of our latest scoops. So one of our members suggested we make a thread where it's just our posts and scoops, so we've done just that.

If you'd like to talk about something we said in here, just simply start up a new thread talk about it more in depth. Now that won't stop us from commenting in other threads and even starting up new threads with the latest, but this just seems to be the easiest way to keep things in check.

With that being said, here's the latest scoop.

The BIG10 returns to the Pete Dye design Par 72 Bulle Rock Golf Club in Havre de Grace, MD for the 3 day, 54 hole Conference Championship. The winner gets an auto-bid to the NCAA Regionals. Last year the course played to 6,314 yards.

This is Rutgers' 10th time (2015-2019, 2021-2025) competing in the championship. Last year, led by Leigha Devine's 10th place finish, Rutgers finished tied for 11th with Illinois. 11th Place tied their best all time finish (2022). Devine also holds RU's best all time individual finish with a 5th Place in 2023. Last year 7 B1G teams qualified for the NCAA Regionals. This year the championship adds 4 teams that also played the Regionals with UCLA, USC, and Oregon making it all the way to the Match Play Final 4. Stanford emerged as NCAA Champ by defeating UCLA in the Final. Indiana is defending B1G champ. Last year's Individual Co-Champ, Minnesota's Isabella McCauley, returns to defend her title.

Recently, the B1G championship field had been a bit larger than most other tournaments. Instead of 5 players, 4 best scores per round count, it had been played as 6 players, best 4 count. This year, perhaps due to the addition of 4 squads, the format will be 5 players, best 4. Additionally you can bring a substitute. You can decide each round if you want to substitute but believe once you sub, the player sitting out can only sub back in for the player who subbed in previously. Admittedly not sure about that. This is the same format as last year's Golfweek National Invitational which Rutgers won, In that event, Rikke Nordvik played rounds 1 and 3 with Krystal Li subbing in Round 2.

As of last week, Rutgers comes in ranked 17th in the conference, only ahead of Nebraska. RU will send out the regular 1-4 in the team's highest ranked player, Frosh Joline Truong, RSSO Grace Lu, Sr Lucrezia Rossettin, and Soph Lorena Rossettin. Earning the 5th spot will be Soph Emily James, who has been on the best stretch of her young career the past 2 events. The substitute will be Frosh Judy Amano. This Spring has been a real up and down for the Knights. So far the team has finished 4th out of 15, 11th/11, 17th/17, 5th/17, 1st/17, and 4th/13. A big reason for that has to do with strength of field.

Saturday, 2:30 at class of 52 stadium
Looking forward to it and hoping the weather is nice

We Plan to get there by 11:30 to start tailgating in the big parking lot by the railroad tracks

If anyone is planning on going, you’re more
than welcome to swing by for a few beers

There have been 35 teams since 2014 (the 16 and 33 seed era) that have qualified all ten for the tournament.

I took a look at what their average seed was (thin vertical black line to the far right in each row), and how they performed relative to that seed (red/green bars).

No real surprise here. The higher the average seed (the lower number), the harder it is to beat the seed.

But there are no guarantees, as two of the worst performances relative to seed came from teams in the bottom quarter of seeds.

(How to read: Lehigh 2021 had an average seed of ~22 for its 10 wrestlers. They missed their average seed by about 1 spot, for an average finish of ~23).

We actually appear to be ahead of St John’s facility wise, as a large chunk of this is going to a practice facility. But also 7.5 towards scholarships (I assume NIL?).
