Hey, friends. I'm tentatively planning to come to the Sept. 7 game vs. Akron. It means I won't get to watch Michigan State at Maryland, but I can listen to it after your game.

Where do I park? I don't plan on buying a ticket in advance, or a parking pass, or any of that stuff. Hopefully I can just walk up to a ticket window and buy a ticket (it's Akron, should be possible, right?)

I haven't been to Rutgers Stadium since graduation day, 2015, or whatever year that was. I parked in a grass field near the stadium. I'll bet it's now either a tailgating spot or the site of one of your new, awesome buildings.

Anyone know what hotel the team will be staying in and if it's close to the Coloseum?

I know people have posted a bunch of hotel options but I didn't want to read through the 7 page thread.

Thanks!

This video popped in my youtube feed.. apologize if it duped from earlier threads.. pretty good.. lots of gameplay clips

“Rutgers and Duke are ground zero [for NBA scouts],” one veteran NBA scout told NJ Advance Media on Tuesday. “They have the best players.”

The Governor and legislative leadership have reached agreement on a program to be called "Stay New Jersey." Those over 65 with incomes of $500,000 or less will receive an annual payment from the state of half their property taxes up to a limit of $6500 per year. I mention this because property taxes often come up in discussions on this board of why posters are planning to leave NJ upon retirement.https://nj.gov/governor/news/news/562023/approved/20230621a.shtml

Edit: the limit is $6500, not $6200 as I originally wrote.

Possibly the most obvious selection for this list, Rutgers is coming off an absolute dream cycle in 2024, as the Scarlet Knights landed their best recruiting class in program history. How things work out for NBA hopefuls Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, both of whom chose head coach Steve Pikiell's program over multiple bluebloods in the 2024 class, may determine the immediate future of Rutgers hoops.

Should the five-star duo find success at their non-traditional home, there will almost certainly be a positive ripple effect with future classes. Should this season go south, however, things could go back to the status quo rather quickly.

Either way, landing Harper and Bailey sent a message to the country that Rutgers has what it takes to stand toe-to-toe with heavy hitters in the NIL era and could become an even bigger player for elite talent should it start placing guys in the NBA Draft Lottery.

There are the seedlings of something special brewing in Piscataway, and those seedlings could blossom quickly if the upcoming season plays out the way Rutgers fans hope.

Anyone else enjoying not seeing either of these programs mentioned in any significant move to a top conference?
Maybe they will be reunited with UCONN and Temple.

I was looking for the Numbers thread. We are going to get a soaker this morning and all day Saturday.

They have not beaten an OOC P5 team in the regular season in 9 years (Purdue in 2015).

That is all. As you were.

Gavin Griffiths had wrist surgery and is not practicing for Nebraska. They say he'll be OK for the fall.
