Another school shooting in America

Ignoring the mental health aspect of firearm deaths is like putting your head in the sand. Suicide by firearm represents the latest segment of deaths each year, and the 20-34 age group by far the largest. The per/100k rate of population has risen each year since before the pandemic. Add to this in that most mass shooters end up committing suicide after they go on a rampage. Since 2000 the suicide rate has jumped 37%, and the curve got really steep in 2008 and continued.

Laws are not going to solve that problem, outside of holding parents legally accountable.

I think mental health is an issue for sure in this country. But who is burying their head in the sand when you say laws won’t work. Look at the number of firearm deaths per capita in this country. And you will see a trend. The states with the most restrictive gun laws have the least. The states where all these honest and law abiding gun owners live that have the least restrictive gun laws are all at the highest.

You think that’s a coincidence?

Was at my neighborhood grocery store a couple of days ago and waiting on line I see.... ShopRite - the official supermarket of Rutgers Athletics! As if constantly paying more for less week after week wasn't depressing enough.

I was in a Starbucks near the Meadowlands the other night and noticed the server had a Seton Hall t-shirt underneath her apron. She is a junior and we had a nice, brief chat about the school.

Then, as I moved down to pick up my order I saw the RU branded tumbler on the counter. Oh well.

Laws won't solve this problem. Better parenting, better mental health screening, and an overall change of culture will.

Big East Schedule Release

C
Getting pumped for the release of the schedule. Being in CT.. I'm hoping for a lot of Saturday day games and also favorable dates for Providence and St. John's games. I start planning away trips the day the schedule drops. Any news or insights on when we might expect to see the announcement? None of the OOC games seems to work from a timing or interest perspective. Might go to the Island to see the Hofstra game.

Wow that much ego and bravado hard to believe

It is hard to believe because it's most likely not true. A lot of coaches get a bunch of BS about them on message boards. For example Willard blasted here many times, but a couple people who got to know him through kids baseball or various other activities than him at work contradict a lot of the negatives we read on here. I know a lot of people who are big RU alums and they love the guy as a person saying he's a charitable man, and man very into family, religion and faith. They think as highly of him as man as Seton Hall thinks of Sha.
