Yesterday had the biggest choke job in NFL history. I did, however, thoroughly enjoy learning the Cowboys lost to the Jags in another epic choke.

Where is he playing these days after not being drafted?

Has that ship sailed? His Twitter says he's at Hutchinson CC but he's not on the team roster online.

We could use all the WRs we can get.

Have been discussing this storm a bit in the weather pattern thread, but since it's absolutely certain we're going to be hit with a major nor'easter on Thursday into Friday, figured it was time for a new thread on this. This is still looking like a very powerful system (1-1.5" of liquid precip falling) to impact our area Thursday (especially Thursday afternoon/night) into Friday morning, but the models are almost all showing little to no snow along and SE of the 95 corridor, i.e., probably all rain. However, most of the models are showing a fairly sharp temperature and precip gradient as one moves NW of 95 (especially N of 78), such that there could possibly accumulating snow, followed by heavy rain 15-20 miles inland of 95 and N or 78 (i.e., NW of 287 from 78 to Suffern) and mostly snow/sleet well NW of 95, especially for the usual areas, like Sussex/Warren/NW Morris, NW Passaic, the Poconos, and the Hudson Valley. Anywhere that is mostly snow could easily pick up 6-10" or more - some sleet and freezing rain are possible with this system too in these areas. But the good news is that most of the ski resorts from NE PA through interior NY/New England should pick up substantial snowfall.

We're still 3+ days away from the main precip (relative to this morning's global model runs) so much could change, i.e., there could still be a bit of snow accumulating snow (especially early in the storm) along 95 prior to any changeover to rain, if the primary low approaching from the Ohio Valley weakens more quickly than forecast, allowing the secondary coastal low which forms to potentially take a more offshore track, bringing in colder air (there has been a bit of a trend towards colder solutions like this, given the strong blocking in place, which should make it hard for the primary low to stay strong). By the same token, if the primary is stronger, that could lead to more warm air moving in off the ocean, leading to much less snow, even well NW of 95. Still too early for actual forecasts. A couple of things we have high confidence in, however: there will be lots of precip and some substantial winds (could be advisory levels, especially near the coast), plus some minor tidal flooding could occur. The latest discussion from the NWS-Philly does a nice job outlining the meteorology and the potential outcomes and the 2nd link is to the AmericanWx thread on this, including sage input from Walt Drag (one of the best from the NWS, now retired).

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Global guidance continues to show a fairly significant coastal storm
impacting the region Thursday morning through at least early Friday.
The general thinking remains the same with this afternoon`s forecast
update: this system will have the potential to bring the area heavy
precipitation, strong winds, and potentially even some coastal
flooding issues. That said, there is still a lot of uncertainty
regarding the details such as exact timing and precipitation types.
In the big picture though, the latest GFS, GEM, and ECMWF all depict
a large lumbering upper level system moving out of the central CONUS
with a primary low over the midwest giving way to a secondary low
developing over the SE CONUS and tracking northeast right along the
coast Thursday through Friday as it deepens. If this track were to
verify, it would make it unlikely for the I-95 corridor to see a
significant snow event but the potential is still there farther
north and west towards the southern Poconos and NW New Jersey.

With that said, the timing of precip onset will be key Thursday
morning, which could determine whether or not we see a messy wintry
mix for the morning rush hour. Precip beginning earlier in the day
could run into the cold antecedent cold airmass, resulting in a
period of a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain mixed in
with rain for the I-95 corridor early to mid morning before
switching over to all rain by the afternoon. A slower start to
precip would be most ideal to remain predominantly rain along and
south of the I-95 corridor, but areas north and west could still
see a wintry mix. Again, high uncertainty remains with the precip
type forecast for early Thursday.

Once we get through the morning and switch over to mostly rain
Thursday afternoon, we will begin to see the brunt of the storm with
heavy rain ramping up into Thursday night across the south with
still a potential for wintry precip north and west across extreme
northeast PA and northwest NJ. East winds will also ramp up through
with the potential for gusts over 30 mph inland and over 40 mph
along the coast. Wind and rain will continue through Friday morning
before the system finally begins to depart the area southwest to
northeast by late Friday into early Saturday.

What about this kid? RJR and played well against good comp this year? I realize we aren't getting a stud transfer QB espcially with an OC yet.

Listen I get it, it’s the offseason after a down year, people are getting impatient with recruiting and the OC hire and heck even the holidays, but the constant bickering, name calling and cursing out of one another stops here. You can debate one another without attack one another.

If this doesn’t stop then we will have no choice then to start issuing bans to people.

End of the day let’s all realize that everyone here is a fan of Rutgers, so quit the attacking of one another and show some holiday cheer instead.

Merry Christmas and Good Knight!

Just got back from skiing in park city with the family. I spoke with my buddy while I was out there and he mentioned that we were turned down by another candidate. Seems like he was on the money on the first swing, so I don’t doubt him here either.

And no, he did not give me a name. He’s a little weird with things like that when it involves people who are currently under contract and believe it or not he’d prob have no idea who the person was. My friend is the least sports fan I know. He just sees sports as a business expense which I find funny considering his relationships within the administration.

The Eagles are getting exposed…

Let’s go Cowboys!!!!!

For those with some time, this is a great “how we got here, and where we be might going” piece with respect to the market, investment strategies (not specific guidance — Howard Marks offers more ‘market philosophy’ than investment advice in his memos), interest rates and inflation.

I was thinking about QB development and OL development this morning and I’m not sure which is the greater failure. Obviously QB is the most important position but there are only 2-3 guys on the roster to develop, so failure seems statistically understandable.

OL, on the other hand, has like 20 guys on scholarship and the best one by far was a walk-on. Ireland Brown is below average in my opinion, and the other starters are transfers that underwhelmed, including Dirienzo. Asamoah is probably our most promising younger OL and even he didn’t look that good this year.

I think the OL development, or lack thereof, limits our offense from being productive despite our QB limitations.

Went to the doubleheader today. Place was crazy and I gauge it at:
9000 UNC fans
7000 Kentucky fans
1000 UCLA fans
500 Ohio State fans and 2000 college hoops fans. Not an empty seat.
3 openings for Jimmy V and 2 for CBS Classic
Rutgers is better than UNC and certainly equivalent to Ohio State. UCLA is elite.
Let's put 8000 in the seats in February and make the most famous arena covet Rutgers in these huge events covered by every major national writer and outlet. Only way to market the program nationally and that matters.

We’ve seen flashes of our trapping D over the Pike years, but this season it’s like a work of art.

Caleb, Mag, Spencer, Paul, and Cliff are locked in on it — with Mag as the tip of the spear.

Love it.

We have threads about people growing up and living in NJ with plans to move or retire elsewhere. But when you die, where do you want to be buried? I had older extended family members who retired to Florida but wanted to be be buried in NJ.

Purdue only up 1 at half at home
