So if you choose not to have children or can’t have children, sorry you’ll have to subsidize those who do or can?

families are what's best for the nation right?

Part of running for office and being president is a sales pitch getting people to understand why your polices are good and why the public should support them. Harris is really bad at the sale.

That's why Trump isn't offering any specific policies. He's good at selling a narrative, but he's horrible talking about the details.
Tariffs are a great example there. He still doesn't understand how they work and if his campaign outlined a full policy - he would be completely lost.

i think that 80 page policy booklet is comprehensive enough to be a surprising sale than what i expected out of her. yes the issue is a lot of them are either (a not actual solutions but explaining the problem and b) not in the control of the president. but theres a semblance of work being done to at least address issues. the flipside is trump just yelling stuff on his policy website. its really embarassing for a presidential candidate

No denying that Kenpom is well-respected. But imho pre-season rankings mean very very little. All that matters is how things shake out once the season starts. My money is on Sha's proven track record. He will get this team to rise above the sum of its parts.

His analytics are nearly impossible to gauge in the preseason in this environment of Free Agency and roster turnover. There was much more reliability in the past when the turnover was less and the continuity higher.

I think the number is reasonable for Seton Hall if you take into account all the past data of individual players. But roles will change, dynamics change, teams are different, coaching, etc. and that’s going to make it fun to watch. We’re not going to be seen a preseason star team by human or computer.

Has us 10th out of 11 in the Big East. 13-16 overall, 7-13 in BE. On paper, looking at the rosters, those aren't far-fetched predictions. But the Sha factor will bump us up some.

I think you may be confusing kenpom with Jerry Palm. Two different poms/palms. Kenpom is propped up by everyone as the gold standard of college hoops analytics/rankings. Jerry Palm is CBS’s sub-mediocre bracketology guy.

Yup, you're absolutely right. Hey, it's the preseason for fans, too! I'll be game-ready next month!

It's amazing that CBS, which is inextricably linked to the NCAA Tournament, is the only major outlet that really props up this clown. Almost anyone they could use would be better.

Our entire roster is unproven. This rating doesn’t surprise me at all.

HallBall'n said:

Well I do like that there is only 1 team from the Big 10 in the entire top 22.

I expect us to be rated this way however, I believe we have some intriguing players who could surprise under Holloway.

It will be interesting playing in Charleston

Awesome job Coach O'Connor!!!

silkcitypirate said:

Schiano was given a big contract and whatever he wanted at ru. The hire was a big mistake but nobody else really wanted the job . His resume is average at best . Failure in the NFL, at ru one big win against Louisville his first time around and some second rate bowl games. Now they are stuck with him. Eating his big state contract should not happen.RU Rah, Rah !! Hahahaha !!!!!!!!!!

The “coach” no one wanted and the “team” no one wanted to coach!

NJ doesn’t have big time college football. Never has, never will.

SHUSA said:

no it doesn't. frankly probably the opposite. the one is positioned to find solutions, the other just diarrheaing all over the office.

really interesting though because most people here think she's a bad candidate because she has no ideas. well they're all there. in depth. i doubt anyone will read it god forbid they have to admit it. one already admitted it lol.

Did grocery store profits not surge in 2020 and 2021 well above what a normal margin would have been for the industry?

So nobody has yet to explain how giving people money is going to cut costs.

It doesn't. Your issue is really that the tax credit should have been in section 2.
I'd agree with that.

I get why you as a libertarian would be against it, but a birth year tax credit to help with the related costs during that first year would be a huge help for new families and wouldn't cost that much relative to the current child tax credit. There is also always a fairly strong ROI when the government gives lower to middle class families more money.

I do understand the argument that if you can't afford children, you shouldn't have them. That's what I did, but it doesn't change the fact that many people do have children who can't afford them and longer term impacts of helping those families will be beneficial to the children and the country overall. Longer term, the birth rate in the US is too low a tax credit would help there as well.

It's good that the big east is getting some preseason respect. You guys are definitely under ranked. It's bulletin board material.

For what it's worth, how good a job Holloway did last year with what he had is underappreciated, even on this board. Hopefully, this year will actually have a big east rep on the committee who stands up for big east teams.

Kenpom Rankings. 5 Big East teams in the top 25. Seton coming in at an underrated 91
