    OT: In'N'Out Burger

    Shake Shack was a bitter disappointment to me, but maybe since I tried it on the Strip I got the tourist version? In-N-Out is great for freshness, and you can eat it without feeling overstuffed afterwards, but their fries are just plain bad. Carl's Jr. does some things very well, but like some...

    Fans have to realize...

    You don't look back on the season and judge it until it's over. As of this moment, how I thought we would do in October is simply irrelevant. Right now, we're a team that has looked like an NCAA team for weeks and now looks like it needs another win or two to hang in there. So if we want to be...

    A big positive for our NCAA resume

    Like everything else, NET matters until it doesn't, like for N.C. State. The holes in that resume last year were easy to spot despite the terrific NET ranking. Our road record could be another such hole, but I think we're in better shape this year than they were last year. Winning one more and...

    Former Capacity of the RAC ??

    It also was 8,800 for a while. Probably in the mid-80s.

    I lived in Muncie Indiana for 2 Years

    I also lived in Muncie for a brief time to do grad work at Ball State. After a year, I learned why Dan Quayle got elected twice. He's smarter than most of them. Nice folks though, who don't particularly like IU fans, either. Classic sweatshirt from that era: I'd rather Ball U than I U.

    Interesting tweet regarding bracketology

    They have been saying for years that they are comparing resumes, not conferences. Besides, when conferences were smaller you could compare teams by conference record. But with so many leagues not playing round-robin you can't do that. But you're going to then tell me X number of conference wins...

    Worst takes from Indiana fans

    To the original post, in Indiana, the RAC really IS a high school gym, and not a particularly good one. As for the rest of it, who cares? No, they are not "afraid" of what Rutgers can be. They don't think that deeply. They hated Maryland and Rutgers getting into the Big Ten, and it's only...

    Rutgers marketing face palm

    When I was a student, I used to look through various sports media guides and cringe. I think the worst was the page celebrating New Jersey that referred to the “infamous” beaches of the Jersey Shore. The only reason this is not a big deal is that many people don’t know it’s wrong. Get it right...

    Jon Bon Jovi Restaurant To Open at Rutgers Newark

    Bon Jovi and his wife are doing wonderful things, and Rutgers should be delighted they will be opening a restaurant on the Newark campus. I was somewhat skeptical 10 years ago when they were talking about this idea, but they seem to be going strong. Wish them nothing but the best in Newark.

    Keep the soft OOC schedule

    The bottom line is that each year is going to be different based on the other teams competing for spots in the tourney. What kills you on one Selection Sunday isn't even a factor on another. Last year, N.C. State crowed about its great NET ranking, but playing nobody -- and I mean nobody --...

    1st/2nd Round Sites

    One of the rare really bad game-day coaching jobs by Tom Young.

    One other thing about last night...

    Now that would be awesome. I don't like the F Penn State thing either. But something that shows contempt is always welcome. Joe Pa Knew does that.

    Thoughts on RAC from Penn State writer...

    Nothing charming about the RAC, and I don't care. It's an awesome home court that does not have to be filled to be loud, and when it is filled it is simply deafening. I never, ever care what anybody else says. I can make my own judgments and so can all of you. I'm not going to scream at this...

    Wisconsin loses 4th straight Rose Bowl

    Oh I don't know. Play the exact same game with only one turnover and they probably win, right? I refuse to believe you "have" to play a certain way to win, as long as you can defend what everyone else is doing.

    OT: Harbaugh and Michigan

    Michigan has had five double-digit victory seasons since 2004. Harbaugh has three of them in five years. The only reason there is any talk about this is he makes too much money for not beating OSU. But seriously, Rich Rodriguez failed there. Brady Hoke failed there. And he's won 47 games in five...

    Way to Early Look Ahead - Bulletin Board material

    Idiotic to write, more idiotic to post as "bulletin board material." Gee, people don't think we'll be good enough to win a game. I'm so hurt by this. The motto of this board could be "No, we obviously don't have bigger fish to fry."

    Path to the tourney, yes, it’s realistic

    Silly. Fans WANT their team to win; they don't have to expect their team to win. Besides, sometimes (usually) it's nice to be pleasantly surprised rather than bitterly disappointed. Not really hard to fathom.

    SIAP: Jim Delany’s Rutgers/Big Ten folly

    First off, Al Franken was the smartest man in the Senate and, considering what has gone on since, was hardly Public Enemy No. 1, but we'll leave that alone for now. It's very funny how Rutgers fans, when talking about Hobbs, insist that the only thing that matters is football, but when fans...

    Student Section

    I know it's a different sport, but I was a student during the Littlepage days. During those three years, I missed TWO home games. The number of other students in the student section is perhaps best reflected in the fact that the players noticed I wasn't there. Seriously. But count me among...

    Schiano Clearly the Overall Alum/Former Player/Fan Choice

    So, we have mob rule now? So whose head would we lop off if the guy fails? (and he could, you know.) If it ends up Schiano fine, but if there is not a legit search (with more than just an f-ing interview being the deciding factor) then Hobbs is not doing his job. (Insert joke here.)
