    Tariq Cole first team LT in spring

    I disagree about his record being anything but poor. His W-L vs P5 teams with winning records says it all. And being blown out so many times including against Kent State and that absolutely abysmal loss at UConn that I, unfortunately, attended . Bad coach, weak recruiter. Not to mention the...

    Tariq Cole first team LT in spring

    Flood was a poor recruiter and he got the leftovers. Some leftovers turn out OK, but we can't really say that for sure in this case since the cupboard is so bare, even the starters may lack talent, it's just that they're better than the others they're competing with. Any questions about Flood...

    OT - Demarest

    I don't know how good they are - my son's team won 11-6 and they're a relatively small private school but they've been playing since January with games starting in February so NV-D was at a decided disadvantage.

    OT - Demarest

    Excuse this very OT thread but my son, who's on the varsity baseball team for his high school here in South Florida and who loves everything RU so much that he would love to move to NJ tomorrow, was very excited to play the Demarest HS varsity in a sort of spring break tournie in Cocoa FL this...

    OT (tourney): Big loss for Cal Golden Bears

    Ugh - I follow them and was rooting for them since one of their starters, Sam Singer, played for my kids' school.

    "Hurley would bring familiar problems to RU"

    I wish we could find a great coach from a mid-major - older and a bit overlooked- like Miami found in their guy from George Mason - what an unbelievable job he's done there - while they've had some success before, it's a football town, with a smallish (but great size for the UM basketball fan...

    OT: Duke Lacrosse 30 for 30

    Free speech is a bitch, eh - whether we like it or not. Sharpton is a jerk - a true hypocrite of the lowest order - but he has the same rights as the rich and powerful who hire lobbyists to be their "community activists" to exercise their free speech.

    OT: Duke Lacrosse 30 for 30

    Right, but in the end, despite Sharpton, he was convicted by a federal jury and convicted in another case and won't be out of jail anytime soon. While the majority of cops are brave, decent public defenders, every day cops beat the crap out of someone or worse (including to those in their force...

    OT: Duke Lacrosse 30 for 30

    There are miscreants in community activist groups, of course (remember Al Shaprton in the Tawana Brawley hoax and, worse, but less publicized, his making a hero of Limerick Nelson, the crown heights murderer who looked for the first Hasidic Jew he could find and killed him and got away with it...

    OT: Duke Lacrosse 30 for 30

    What this points out - and I'm sorry if this was already mentioned - is that this can happen even to people of privilege from very sophisticated and connected families (I used to work in DC with one of the Dads). Prosecutors and police (and I've had relatives who were cops - one quite...

    New Orange Bowl Chief is a Rutgers Man

    I know Mike Chavies down here in Miami - class act all the way.

    Rutgers Baseball Starts Spring Break at No. 16 Florida Atlantic

    Very disappointing baseball loss. I hope to make at least one of the other two games.

    OT: AD Hobbs Women's Lax

    Right that it is primarily a preppy sport - it's why, for example, in DIII, 7 of the top 13 (of the many, many schools that play) schools are NESCAC schools - Middlebury, Amherst, Tufts, etc. - though TCNJ is always a national power as well (but TCNJ gets more preppy-type kids than RU - not a...

    Hobbs needs to be on Phone with Hurley Tonight

    Why on earth is everyone so enamored with Hurley other than compared to what's going on at Rutgers the last 30 years anyone looks good.

    OT: AD Hobbs Women's Lax

    True but Temple has few preppy types but they kick our butt every year as do many other non-preppy schools.

    OT:Gettysburg recommendations needed

    It's been a number of years and I can't recall the name of fhe operation buf it's about a two hour tour of part of the battlefield and I think there were about 10 riders in total.. What was cool (and I'm not necessarily a big fan of reenactments) was when we were by ourself on the field and an...

    OT:Gettysburg recommendations needed

    Read Allen Guelzo's book - Gettysburg, the last invasion and try to go on as many of the ranger guided tours as possible. Watching the film Gettysburg with Jeff Daniels etc also isn't a bad idea. With older kids a horseback tour of the battlefield is great - you get to see it from a participants...

    Positive comment about Rutgers Athletics

    St Johns used to be a power (John Franco pitched there). Seton Hall (Mo Vaughn played there) was strong in the 80s as was the University of Maine.
