Never said you’re an idiot. Ever. I wouldn’t. It’s just not my point of view. There’s no nuance to in that either. Return You picked an arbitrary number and then based your entire analysis and conclusion on it. I suggested that you might consider using 250 as your arbitrary and therefore...

I grew up in North Jersey and now live in Central (yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus) Jersey. I can’t deny that I too don’t love a 7-8 hour round trip in a day, so that’s fair, but I think for me “backyard” is more concept or state of mind than geographic criteria. By your argument, and to...

That discredits the area’s preference for pro sports, as well as its transient population due to major metropolises like Boston, Philly, and NYC. I happen to feel the makeup of the student body and then the larger congregation spots of alumni define the backyard. General fandom while not...

Also, I think your analysis suggests that schools with a greater percentage closer to “home” do better on the field, which I don’t think was your goal with this. I also think there are other factors, like Tallahassee is 480 miles from Miami, but that’s in state, and aid/tuition may factor into...

I think your range is off. I would say 250 mile radius is the back yard. That’s a 4 hour drive. That’s the entire state of PA east or west for PSU. That’s, “don’t fly, it’s not worth it” range. That said, I fly to Boston all the time and that’s about 240 miles away. Most of the SU student...

These things write themselves

And yet, as a New Jersey tax payer, I lose.

That’s what the student fee is for

It's depth, not width. People need to get past the seats in a fire situation and the aisle where you put feet/knees is not wide enough perpendicular to the front of the seat with whatever was designed (either the seat back leans too far into that aisle, or the front, or a combo of the two). This...

I think this is an odd post for your point and I don't think I am alone in that. For starters, I believe I understand your point. As I interpret it, players aren't better in the NE because they are from the NE. 4 and 5 stars can be found in other regions too. There is a greater number of 4 and 5...

Not true. I am from NJ and I can get to campus in 4 hours. Just like Boston, Just like Maryland (I used to live in DC) and Penn State is about 5 hours. That is reality.

Did he really make a comment about this!? That is so great! Unfortunately for Coach Fran, it seems there have not been a lot of people empowered to make such decisions or take on these initiatives. He will need to find a leader who can co-create and focus on a vision for the game-day experience...

Really? A guy named Clarence from NJ is not “the big man”? You are the appointed arbiter, but I suggest consideration here.

but Johnson switched positions and Downing stayed the backup. Perhaps not much difference from the perspective of athleticism, or potential explosiveness, but I recall my roommate saying it was pretty clear to all even during McNabb's redshirt year. Edit: It could also have been as simple as...

Put the egg on it too!

Did anyone peep the top helmet on that Nike display?

This is what I came for!

We were influencing the Browns then ( not just a uni-thread thing). That was the original dog pound.

That’s in Alameda. This is where they make transparent aluminum.

Are the tunnels still there!? I would be surprised if they were left post demo of Archbold Stadium. I believe there was a mini collider or some other physics lab under the north bleachers of Archbold (or a rad lab) but I’m not sure of the validity of that.

Lateral load on the foundation/sub grade walls. If you excavate, you would have to sheet and shore both the dome and Archi to dig, then you would have to add permanent reinforcement to leave it “unexcavated”. That’s what the famous World Trade Center “bath tub” is.

I felt it pretty good too. I’m also about 20 miles from Tewksbury (east).

Two men enter. One man leaves.

Those are j-boxes I assume. Electrical feeds for future turnstiles.

And one hoops win vacated. Wheelhouse!

The latter. My bad. Mr. Brown, he of the recent portal out variety.

Anyone think the landing of a true center means the potential of Malik returning goes up? Is it possible he's one of the two pending "additions" we'll all be happy with that some speak of here? No info, just asking.

Down Under Leather!

Is that Gia!? That’s awesome!

So maybe he IS being downgraded because he plays at a private. Maybe Rivals is saying he’s a 5 star anywhere other than Texas! The whole thing is a mess. I look forward to seeing him in Syracuse Orange, (where he still won’t be as good as he looks or his stats say because the ACC isn’t the...

I think the problem was that most folks here focused on the wrong region. We’re not going to build that base with CNY players and that was all I heard 5 years ago. I said in Shafer days and Dino days it had to be NJ and everyone said it was overrated and owned by selector schools. Part of that...

College supports all the sports. This is like NFL owners also being MLB and NBA owners. Do you think they will not support any other team they are putting something into? Do you not assume there would be some sort of “profit share” amongst sports? This is why conferences exist in the first...

Git off my property you jackass!

I am pretty much with you here (and also an old man). I think our gameday experience" team is not understanding the differences between a basketball experience and a football experience. Putting aside the "college" aspect of this (just use the band, but get them on some better music too) does...

Is the Boomer reference a Campbell's soup can reference? If so, well done.

Matt Schena was the other walk-on on the '96 team with my roommate IIRC. Looks like a good amount of mid-90's representation.

Old RHCP, but Good Time Boys would be cool.

And yet consistent. “I should have 44, but nobody else should, ever!”

I like 2:20-3:40 but 3:50 to end is good too. It’s a little dark and raw, but…

I think part of the point is that the Mona Lisa isn’t the jersey, it’s the game. I don’t know the stats off hand, but assuming it was a masterpiece of a performance, then the jersey is the equivalent of the smock da Vinci wore when he painted it.

BTW bnoro I am sorry if this seems pointed at you, it’s not, but I think if you go back to all the threads about hype music, we pretty consistently disagree on it.

Always felt off to me, but I’m a Jersey guy watching a game that NJ is strong in, in NJ. You’re OK with Sabotage? That came out when the team was the Metrostars playing in Giants Stadium! (I love the song, but it is from my college days, like Jump Around and Enter Sandman. That era would never...

So he based it on a 1970’s song played as an entrance to a late 80’s/early 90’s team in 2008. But we can’t pick a song because we’re all too old.

And VERY FEW of us knew anything about Danger by Blahzey Blahzey then. It was the team that brought this to our collective consciousness.

A couple of thoughts (in part because this topic has been turned over sooo many times here): 1) Lots of schools have traditional introductions/"taking the field" and most are not based on contemporary pop music or culture (ND, OSU, Miami are a few that immediately come to mind) 2) If we worry...

The fight song exists for entirely this reason. If we want to give it a refresh, I am on board, but there should not be another song “to break out of the tunnel” with. What leads up to that is another matter. Many here have tried and failed to gain any kind of consensus.

Plaid uniforms! Uh oh, did I just trigger a Uni-thread?

While it may seem like it these days, the me first self-important athlete isn’t a new phenomenon. We can all name quite a few from the days of Rob Konrad and beyond. Shelby Hill comes to mind

Otis was great. I haven’t spoken with him in a long time, but he used to ride with us to games.

Peter Faulk’s granddaughter went to SU in the 90’s. He was up on campus a few times IIRC
