This was the helmet used in the early Frank Maloney years around 1974-76. Not sure why the Floyd Little reference on the shirt.

I was watching Good Morning America today and Michael Strahan was at the school doing a special report on the team. During the report he told Jayden that he had the offer from Cuse. This seemed to be the first he heard about it.

I would be careful about glorifying any of the Colorado defensive coaches. They finished at #126 out of 130 teams. Having said that I’m not sure what an edge coach does (defensive end coach?) and how much his coaching contributed to their dismal performance.

The first game I watched was the ‘66 Gator Bowl. Was rooting mightily for Czonk and Floyd against the Southerners from Tenn. I entered ESF ‘68 and became hooked from then on. Was super impressed that the first game that season, which was on the road at Mich St, was televised (a 14-10 loss). The...

I was fortunate to see Tony Bennett in person at the Copa Cabana after my HS senior prom in ‘68. It was a small night club venue where you were almost on top of the performer. When he sang I Left My Heart in San Francisco it brought the house down!

My first encounter with Manley Field House was during the Fall of my freshman year 1968 when the entire freshman class had to attend a formal orientation session. Guys had to wear dress slacks, jacket and tie if they had them and women wore dresses. Of course they hit you with the “look to your...

Alum of ESF/SU ‘72. From NYC, then NJ and now Westchester Co. While on campus caught the end of Ben’s coaching career the year after Czonk graduated which was the beginning of the end (20-18-1). Saw the start of the resurrection of bball under Roy Danforth when the team made the NIT two...

It's like moving from one end of the trailer park on Tobacco Rd to the other end! No suprise here

I second your choice. Manageable drive from Westchester Co plus my wife has family in Annapolis who taught there that we could hopefully stay with.

I too was at that game on one of the first dates with my wife. It remains to this day the only NCAA men's basketball game I have attended. :(

Below is a link to a dynamic graph that shows the progress of the top 10 winningest NCAA basketball programs (regular season only) since 1971. As the years go by you see programs like Penn, Long Beach St., Marquette, St. Johns, San Francisco etc.. come and go, move up and down in the rankings...

You are correct. I should have qualified my post as that my freshman year was the rock bottom of my SU fandom. I did know of the horrible record SU had pre-Dave Bing but it was not in my memory banks.

Don’t feel bad. My freshman year was ‘68-‘69 which was rock bottom. The only place to go was up. Fortunately expectations were low (relative to recent years) and the program making the NIT in my Junior and Senior years felt like we had arrived. There are those on this board who believe that if...

The remnants of hurricane Ida almost swamped Rutgers stadium. The aptly named river road was flooded up to the doorsteps!

Interesting factoid: Millville has the longest running football rivalry in the state with neighboring Vineland dating back to 1893!

Tyus Battle partnered with a life insurance co. To make a $10,000 donation to the Patient Relief Fund at the Rutgers Cancer Institute. Great work! Always nice to see former players stepping up to make a difference in their communities and in the lives of those suffering with cancer.

I love the opening paragraphs: College football showed no mercy on Rutgers last fall — not that the Big Ten’s punching bag did much to help itself, either. It culminated in a brutal 1-11 season. At the start of last season, the Scarlet Knights played their home games in HighPoint.com Stadium...

There was a guy in the row behind us that actually grabbed the hood of the girl (who was seated in this pic) while she was standing up and pulled her down into her seat. It got a bit ugly at that point. The ushers were useless. They couldn’t get them to sit down and then offered to move us...

If you were sitting in section 315 we were directly behind these jerks. We asked them over and over again to sit down but they looked at us like we were the crazy ones. Sure stand and cheer for a good play or even a series of good plays but to stand the entire game even during stoppage of play...

I must have been dreaming because I was in attendance at that game with my future wife. To date the only NCAA basketball tournament game I have attended!

Love the new look. Excellent job! I use the “New Post” view exclusively. Under the old format I was able to hide any Off-topic threads from this view. Now that it has been redesigned Off Topic threads are appearing. I for get how the suppression of Off Topic threads from the New Post view was...

Talk about "punching above your weight class"!!

That’s the game where Tom Green picked up the nickname JoJo as he was assigned to guard the All American and got torched!

Hopefully the Chinese Govt won’t use this as an opportunity for payback for the wonderful exhibit of exemplary (thuggish) behavior by a previous NCAA team filled with “goodwill” ambassadors!

What a radical concept- you can actually read the numbers!

January 27 Joe Perry - NFL Hall of Fame Troy Donahue Billy "White Shoes" Johnson Chris Collinsworth Matt Stover Owner: Art Rooney Musical Director: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Decidedly an NFL Flavor as no decent NBA players share this date.

Duke 1.0 Nova I was at both of these with my grown sons. Amazing atmosphere! Was in Faegans before the Nova game watching underdog teams clad in orange beat teams in blue (Tenn over UK and Okla St over KU). I took that as a good omen. Duke 1.0 was like a heavyweight fight with both teams...

Fordham is in walking distance to the Bronx Botanical Gardens, the Bronx Zoo and the Little Italy of the Bronx - Arthur Av which has some amazing eateries!

I always record the games and start watching them about 25 mins after they start. The reason I so this is to zip through the commercials. This requires quite a bit of discipline but is well worth it. I absolutely hate to wait through commercials during live action, especially if we start to...

In the '68-'69 season Bill Smith scored 41 in a 118-110 loss to Niagra. Unfortunately he wasn't close to being high scorer as Calvin Murphy poured in 68!

In Dino & Co. I trust. Just give him a shot and he can seal the deal!

Going back to their roots. The first year of the AFL 1960 the Chargers were based in L.A.

I didn't think he could exceed the "quality" of his posts on the OT board, but this one is in a class by itself!!

That article on Pro Football HOF members for some reason leaves out Marvin Harrison We have 8.

From 1968 through games played this year I am 287 won 286 lost 6 ties If we lose at Pitt I will be all even at 50% UGH. If that happens I hope and pray that Dino can at the very least prevent me from slipping into negative territory next year!

Amen! I don't know why but when I read your post I immediately flashed back to the pregame prayer in A League of Their Own. "Lord - hallowed be thy name. May our feet be swift, may our bats be mighty, may our balls be plentiful!"

That is the best inspirational talk I have seen since the one Morgan Freeman made just before the climatic battle in Glory!

I agree on making the New Posts option visible on the mobile version. I rarely, if ever, view individual forums. I have to flip my iPhone sideways then the options at the top of the screen are visible including the New Posts option.

He was a staunch Yankee fan like me. Will miss his crazy posts. Never good when one of the family passes away. RIP Cali!

Or at the very least the bell that used to be rung on the sidelines

So far I am lovin what I'm seeing on offense. Yeah it's only 20 pts against Colgate but this is only the first half of the first game. 300 yards of offense- I can't wait for the 2nd half and the rest of the season!

Reminds men of the first carry by Ron Page against Holy Cross in the late 60's early 70's (can't remember exactly). First touch was a 49 yard TD. Me thinks Moe Neal will have a slightly better career than mr Page!

With the high speed offense I have been eagerly waiting for I hope you make it into the fourth quarter!

As part of a redevelopment project on their campus they have decided to use the following man hole covers! I kid you not. Seems apropos!

Bill Smith was my first also. Although we had some nice teams and players in the intervening years, the Pearl took us to the next level and made us a legitimate "big time" program.

He is finally free of suffering; however, it is a shame to lose someone prematurely who means so much to so many. A truly amazing individual with transcendent basketball skills that will be missed. I hope that the team makes the Pearl shirts a permanent fixture.

Very painful to watch Ernie Els 7 putt on the par 4 first hole! Six of them were within 3 feet of the hole!! Finished with a 6 over par. Terrible way to start the tourney. Welcome to My World Ernie :(

Rutgers at 1,000 :1. Aren't they missing a few zeros? BC at 2,000:1. As bad as Rutgers was does this mean RU is twice as likely to win the natty before the Eagles?

In our first Final Four in '75 we lost to UK and Louisville (OT) in the consolation. We finished ranked #6. UCLA tourney winner was #1; UK #2; Indiana #3 (ranked #1 for 10 weeks and lost to UK in Mideast region finals) Louisville #4 Maryland #5 after being ranked 4-5 most of the season and...

I'm saving the Blue Label for after our victory on Monday night!
