That was a close race. Ciattarelli gave him a run for his money. RNC didn't give him enough support IMO. In hindsight the talking heads on TV called it a lost opportunity. Jack giving it another go next year. He's a SHU grad. Hoping he wins in 2025.

Jon Bramnick is the better Republican candidate. He is a moderate with common sense. Jack used to be a moderate when he was a Somerset Freeholder but sold his soul to MAGA. I am supporting Bramnick for Gov.

No I watched a lot of games this year because I wanted to see how she would do against more mature players. While Clark’s numbers were down early I felt it was more about her teammates getting used to her style of play. The good thing to me was that she did not get frustrated and made a commitment to working with her teammates to make them better. It was clear after the Olympic break that this was her team and she was going to drag them to the playoffs. I get it to you Taurasi is a UCONN god but she still can be wrong. By no means was she as hateful as some of the other naysayers but she clearly thought Clark was overhyped. Not really a big deal either way.

Yes, she could be wrong, but, nothing she said was either wrong or hateful.

In fact, Clark did struggle a bit when she first joined the league. Unlike you, I don't think that was everyone else's fault. I just think she was a kid trying to figure out the league. That's sad, she did and had a phenomenal rookie season.

UConn again is the pick to win the league, as the Big East looks to atone for putting only three teams into the 2024 NCAAs

Seton Hall 8th
Shaheen Holloway has made a good living thriving on others underestimating his teams and his coaching ability. The roster in South Orange, New Jersey, doesn't look intimidating, but how far should SHU fall a year after winning 25 games and taking the NIT championship? I'm uneasy slotting SHU at No. 8. Remember, the Hall was two spots from making last year's NCAAs, only to be boxed out by bid thieves. Kadary Richmond's departure to St. John's is a massive hit, without question, so the question morphs to: Who is the alpha now? Dylan Addae-Wusu(8.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg) is the most productive returnee. The roster changeover (Seton Hall lost approximately 75% of its minutes) means this is the most mysterious team in the conference. Truthfully, Holloway's track record is what is keeping SHU from 10th or 11th in our preseason forecast.

I'm guessing you didn't actually follow the WNBA season. It took Clark a little bit of time to find her feet. But yeah hundred percent she's been amazing for the sport and is a uniquely talented player.

Yet another conference realignment proposal - This one seems different.

Ah, they're getting so close to where it's ultimately headed that they can almost see it. So of course football is going to break away independent of the current leagues, but it isn't going to include any 70 teams. Looking at it strictly from a media value point of view, which of course is the only way they're looking at it, there is so much noncontributing dead weight in this plan. You will see something like this, but with no more than 28 or 32 programs, made up entirely of national football brands who can carry weight across any geography or media markets. Physical geography means little anymore. Think of the NFL, but with college teams. It doesn't matter where those teams are located. There is no way Alabama and Ohio State and Texas are splitting they revenue they are bringing in with the current weak sisters of their respective conferences. If the entire purpose is to maximize annual revenue -- and it clearly is -- why would they?

Hard to believe otherwise. However all 28-30 brands are what they are due to 4-8 wins against the less popular schools each year . Under a NFL model there will be very unhappy "brand " schools who depend on winning for donations going 2-10. The alumni will not like that.

They can't just unlink themselves, but in about 10-12 years, I believe all the current deals will have expired. That's about when I figure it'll be, since they are not waiting 20 more years to do this. (It can be even sooner if the private equity money is used to buy out contracts. I have no idea if it's worth that much to them.)

It's most certainly going to happen; the question merely resides in just how exclusive exclusive will be.

It would have to be a very large multiple on the contract to get one of these low on the totem pole colleges to effectively give their football program the death penalty. I don't see that happening.

Jets fire Saleh!

M
I wanted Saleh fired and Ulbrich moved up this past offseason so I am very happy with this move. Never been a big Saleh fan. Try winning some games before printing tshirts with stupid slogans and toxic positivity yet jumping to throw people under the bus and make excuses every time. He's done nothing but lead this team "All gas no brake" right off a cliff.

Woody going rogue after being embarrassed in the UK with all his stuffy big money ambassador buddies watching is entirely predictable.

Just let Rodgers call the plays himself and have Hackett as his designated Coffee gofer since that's all he's good for anyway.

Fun fact: The last time the Jets fired a coach in-season? Only once before, firing Charley Winner in 1975 after a year and a half as coach. They hired Lou Holtz the following year which was an even bigger disaster when he bailed after 13 games to run back to college.
