    The root of our QB problem....

    The root of our QB problem has been our utter inability to recruit out of HS qb's that were recruited by a bunch of top 20 type teams - ie, highly talented quarterbacks. Other than Savage and Oden (I think) there have never been any. Full stop.

    We've Got 5-6 Scholarship QB's...

    Among Dare, Laviano and Gio they had a total of one real offer among them - Laviano's BC offer. That says it all about our Pre-Oden QB recruiting other than transfers.

    Potato Head Politi has us at 4-8

    I don't like Poiliti - he's a gratuitous RU basher. Having said that, I don't think his prediction is illogical and in any event no prognosticator should be criticized until the final results are in showing him/her wrong.

    Ritchie Named Tennis Head Coach

    I am not jazzed by this hire, but because our facilities are so weak and our competition so strong in the B1G, I'm not sure any top notch assistant would have taken the job at this point. What amazes me is that over the years Bucca was able to get a couple of very strong players, at least one of...

    Herbstreit

    Agreed - for a number of years after 2006 he continued to view us favorably and was too often proven wrong. In general, he is consistently an intelligent ,thought-provoking analyst.

    Bucca Steps Down

    Thanks for asking RU 93. She had a number of D1 scholarship opportunities but in the end wanted to go to a small liberal arts school so looked primarily at the NESCAC - (Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Tufts, etc) and had offers from most of them and chose Middlebury - strong academics...

    Bucca Steps Down

    My daughter was recruited by him to play at RU and I met him at one of the USTA Junior tournaments last summer - seemed very personable. But his recruiting over the last few years, with one recent exception, has been abysmal. No surprise we're winless in BIG10 conference play - we weren't very...

    O.T.-What is the most amazing thing you've ever seen in person?(Keep it clean!)

    Jim Bunning's perfect game vs the Mets as a kid (wow I'm old). Muhammad Ali blowout of Zora Foley in 1967 sitting in the same row as George C Scott and Sammy Davis Jr. (not a great fight, but exciting for a young kid). Living through the NYC blackouts of 1965 and 1977. The massive parade...

    OT: Baylor Fires Art Briles

    Sanctimony in the extreme. Baylor prides itself on being such a "moral" paradigm of the Baptist church and its values, but I guess it values football more than the well-being of its non-football playing students. Disgusting and 10 years ago, nothing would have happened. That's why people...

    Regarding the "unified branding" theme, what about the Cannon Crew?

    I'm probably the only one on the board who doesn't love the cannon thing as it has been embodied. If it were handled by our ROTC guys/women in colonial uniform fine, but I don't think there is another school that has folks on the field doing something like that, that have no affiliation with the...

    Rutgers to be featured on Real Sports regarding football arms race

    Jon Frankel - scion of a family well known in Journalism and Hollywood - was recruited by RU (I don't know if he got an offer) and SU out of HS to play football, out of Horace Mann I believe in NYC. He went to SU I believe as a walk on - not sure if he ever suited up - I've played flag football...

    Women lax

    A change is needed, but more funding is needed as well. . Goodale is the exception - what he did singlehandedly is just amazing.

    OT-Princeton LAX coach fired for elbowing player

    Not a close call at all - you shouldn't touch an opposing player in any way during game and he made an aggressive physical contact - goodbye and good luck.

    OT: Major changes coming Wed. for retirement accounts

    I was with the SEC years ago, and even so, I believe that sometimes the government can go too far in regulating. Having said that, my wife, who formerly was an in house as a lawyer with a major brokerage firm, now represents folks who have been ripped off by brokers. Some of the cases she's...
