    Class of 2025 QB Luke Carney (TX) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/25/25)

    Some 30 years ago, my wife, my in-laws and I were on a trip to Ireland. We were in one of those tour buses. The driver played a tape by an Irish comedian. Every third joke or so, the comic would say 'Write it down, it's a good one.' You asked? I answered. Even did some deep-dive research to...

    AEW Thread: A Real Alternative To WWE?

    Has AEW announced the matches for the show? I ask b/c one reason that attendance sucks is that AEW doesn't provide enough advance notices for the matches. It's a chronic problem, one that's easy to fix, but they rarely do it.

    One of the coolest double-bills I ever saw was Dwight Yoakam opening for Husker Du in NYC. Both were signed to Warner Brothers, both had new (great) albums out at the time, but the Du fans weren't necessarily Dwight fans. As in "Play Rawhide".

    I'm kinda surprised at the multiple Delaware offers. As a Delawarean, I can say that we don't generally turn out that many top D-1 talents. I'm especially surprised considering that we basically pulled a committed offer from the top player in the state in 2024.

    Even if this particular player doesn't ultimately work out, it's a big plus that NJ coaches know that they can trust Brown to give players who they think have been overlooked a shot.

    Sounds like he's looking to get out and into a more favorable situation w/o putting any blame on himself. Dissing the players individually is unforgiveable, though. Doesn't matter--someone will take a chance on him.

    Class of 2025 WR Lyrick Samuel (NY) Verbal to PSU

    Penn State and Notre Dame, in particular, amass a huge number of early commits every year. They then proceed to lose more than a few along the way to Signing Day. In other words, don't lose hope.
