so here is the dirt if you are interested in doing this hike. Will be Friday the 25th , same day as the game

anyone interested can literally just show up at trail head, no RSVP , just show up.

Here is the All Trails link. would recommend the App if you don't have it will give you real time data as to where you are and where you're going

All Trails link

its at the very end of Canyon Drive (Brush Canyon is the name of the trailhead). The address is 3200 Canyon Drive, Los Angeles

Would recommend meeting at trailhead at 8:30 , do try to be on time as Friday is sure to be a busy day for all of us and we don't want to rush anything. As noted previously distance is 6 mi round trip about 1000 ft elevation gain. you do not need to be in stellar shape for this but do have to be ready to walk and get some exercise. Would rate this as moderate hike. You can do it ! and will be great sense of accomplishment and you can pig out at the tailgate and not feel guilty haha.

This is an extremely popular hike since its literally in the middle of the city, so there will be others but I've only done it previously on Saturday or Sunday, never done it on a weekday so not sure how crowded it will be

Parking is available but limited right at the trailhead . you can find street parking (its a nice residential neighborhood so you'll be safe) but then you'll have to walk a little extra to get to the trailhead so doing an Uber might be the best way.

needed: sunscreen, water (bring more than you think, have at least 1 Liter) any snacks for the top . wear your RU gear. small backpack useful . Sneakers are fine for this hike, it mostly a wide dirt track and near the Hollywood sign it becomes a paved road. no climbing or scrambling at all.

I will be at the trailhead and will make sure I'm easily visible. I'm very handsome so look for that :) My lovely wife (RU fan by proxy) will also be there.

weather wise this is like the best time of year in LA so if we have crappy weather it will be an oddity. Will probably need a light jacket at most

Hopefully we can have a nice turnout but even if just one person shows its cool it will still be fun.

If you want to text me about anything message me here and I'll give you my cell.

Go RU

(will put this on the free board too)

Secondary is out. Why the f@ck are we runcentric on offense?

GO RU

Just ran across this and thought it was timely for this Friday. Besides, who could possibly complain about listening to Linda Ronstadt.

WTF is going on with FS1 & Fox right now??? 🤬

.

Apparently, officials are warning of the largest traffic jam to ever hit LA - and RU is doing its part. Personally, I would choose ELO over the other events

Apparently, officials are warning that tonight's traffic could be the worst ever.

World Series
USC - Rutgers
LA High School Champion Games
Jeff Lynne and ELO
LeBron and Bronny
David Gilmout of Pink Floyd


I'll take Jeff Lynne for the win !!!

Anyone see it?

Heard 3 or 4 out of 5 DBs on USC may be out??

12:30 am in New Brunswick (7:30 pm Hawaiian time)

Hawaii 28 Rutgers 16 Honolulu, HI Honolulu Stadium 16,306

11:00 pm (Thanksgiving night)
11-30-1899
Knickerbocker AC 11 Rutgers 0 New York, NY Madison Square Garden ( II ) 3,500

11:00 pm

Rutgers at USC Los Angeles, CA Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

UCLA was the 175th different opponent Rutgers has faced since the birth of intercollegiate football with Princeton in 1869. USC tonight is the 176th different opponent.
Record vs. 1st time opponents:
Overall: 105 wins, 63 losses, 7 ties
Away: 21 wins, 33 losses, 1 tie

Has us losing out the rest of the way. Probably not all that surprising with the way things have been going. But, with the pre-season hype and easiest schedule in years, not a great thing.

Interesting news

James Franklin wants no part of this....University Circling the Wagons.

Looks like Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel is a Heisman contender this year.
We miss him though.

When was the last time we played the eventual Heisman winner?
I briefly looked at prior winners and nothing jumped out at me.

Appears we didn't play Miami in 1992 (QB Toretta).

No, I am not mentioning a situation where the Dodgers-Yankees go extra innings . In that case , the Rutgers-usc game will be bumped to FS1 .


The problem tonight is New York’s local Fox 5 is planning to show a special post game show for the Yankees. Then followed by the regular local news (which will obviously be bumped back) . There is a good chance the Rutgers game is not joined in the NYC television market until well into the game. I doubt Fox realizes this and puts the game on FS1 in just NY in the meantime.

It appears it could be be on channel 9 in its entirety . Some guides are showing that but Rutgers , fox or BIG have not announced this.


Remember, I predicted the Akron game BTN debacle correctly earlier in the day. Perhaps some reporter here or Rutgers can see my post and realize this and get a comment from Fox 5 and/or the BIG. This game needs to be on in its entirety somewhere in NYC . And people need to be told . Some are app watchers etc

For south Jersey folks, you don’t got to worry. No Phillies post game show on Fox tonight

All signs point to 11 P.M., but my TV menu...I have Verizon Fios....is listing the game coverage beginning at Midnight.
I know the World Series game one is listed for 8 P.M. on the same channel...Fox.
Are they anticipating an overlap ?
I'm setting it up to record the football game.....just in case it's worth watching a second time.

Anyone else saying screw it despite the recent struggles and flying out west?

Flying in Friday, getting picked up by my buddy in LA and headed straight to the game.

Dodgers/Yanks Game 1 WS. LA should be wild.

@Caliknight and @rutgersal flag football matchup at Venice Beach Saturday morning

Don't know if this was mentioned.

Am I reading this correctly?(ourlads.com)
Barring transfers out, we are returning:
Asamoah, White, Needham, Felter, and Zilinskas (only losing Pierce)?
If not, could you recommend a better source?
If so, could this be a cause for (tempered) optimism?
Looking for anything to get me through this season. (other than drugs!)

….?

Rutgers could have prioritized him in the transfer portal but instead decided to go with the mediocre option and KC’s buddy in Athan Kaliakmanis.

Meanwhile, McCord has been putting up good numbers at Syracuse.

Is Dylan and Ace to look the part of potential first team B1G players. They passed with flying colors. I’m almost sold on Dylan already. He’s terrific. Ace will be a bit less consistent but he’s obviously ridiculous.

Only way we make a deep run in either tournament is if these two are borderline all Americans. Obviously a lot to ask but that’s what it would take. I saw nothing yesterday to think that’s not a possibility.

It's funny how the universe works.
A pitcher from both teams in the 1981 WS passes away in the same week,with Fernando passing away earlier.

Rudy pitched for many teams in his career,starting out with the Angels in 1965.
He lost a 1-0 game at Yankee Stadium on a homer by Mickey.
