Before Trump leaves he should sell college loan portfolio to eliminate more forgiveness to buy votes.

Is the issue how much money we have or how we use what we've got?

By some accounts, it's estimated we're around $2M (correct me if I'm wrong). Do you spread $2M across 10 players or across 2-3?

I coached youth sports, and I can tell you having even one ringer can elevate a team. 2-3 really solid players with a supporting cast is a much better prospect these days IMHO.

Realistically, what level of resources should the FBI be throwing at this? Likely thousands of people calling every hour with video evidence of airplanes flying?

There’s a lot of hysteria going on right now, and people think that anytime they see lights in the sky on aircraft in line with FAA regulations are malicious drones.

We are talking about unusual occurrences happening above our homes with no explanation, I think we should be concerned. To say large objects with red and green lights that are hovering are airplanes is insulting. Granted some people are seeing airplanes but there’s no denying drones are flying over our homes. I’m assuming if it’s our government it’s more than likely to end soon. Your point yesterday about Trump not commenting really does tell you something. People generally don’t like being in the dark when it comes to the safety of their family.

Surprised Mets payroll only 240 million since Soto 51 million

Agree with you on that the same way I wish I had the ability to see an objective view of how our assistants are performing in player development and recruiting.

Good article.

Enjoy it Zac and congratulations.

So many memories of games at the RAC. Nothing better than seeing the red shirts streaming out with three and a half left on the clock. An RU pal used to give me his tickets for the SH game, and as the guy who sat in front of us left, he always muttered "at least we have our own gym" lofl. Lotta fun those games, and there were quite a few.

I also remember one dreadful night, I think when Sha was a frosh.. We got killed. It was teeming rain when it ended and the traffic pushed me to Rt 18 for a real bad drive home. I think it was the next year when Sha won it with a three pointer from the top of the key. The games had more twists and turns and crazy incidents than most rival series. If we both we good, the series would have been seen as a classic.

Im kinda sick of our coach’s bringing up excuses with press referring to salaries of players…we lost to momouth by 12. Lost to fordum and Hofstra….barely beat st Peters.

What is the common theme here, we have way more money for salary available than those schools. Stop it Sha.

Almost ever coach who loses or has issues echos the same sentiments..maybe more vague or in different words but it’s just part of coach speak now

Everyone blames their resources and NIL

I mean Sha is probably in the top 10 percentile of have legit gripe but they all do this now

Cant both things be absolutely true?

We have no business losing those three games.

We don't have enough money to be consistently competitive in the P5 world?

I hope #2 is not correct, but I will be pleasantly shocked if time proves it wrong.

This is fantastic circular corporate-speak. Most people didn't care much for Larry Keating, but it's hard to argue with his success as the "CEO" of the athletic department during his tenure. Was he a genius, or just surrounded with the right people, at the right place and time?

And who hired those people who were a significant part of Larry’s success and who got the best out of his.

Welcome home!!!

Rumors that the Mets may get Alonso back too.

2 years ago Mets payroll $330 mil. Today, with Soto, $240 mil.
Alonso, come on down.
Mets got it going.

Lindor
Soto
Vientos
Nimo
Alonso
Alvarez

Fwiw, the petty folks On the Banks denied my media credential request for tomorrows game with a long copy/paste message dumping on independent media being INELIGIBLE (their caps) and practically told me to go screw myself.
As a result I feel zero sympathy for Mr Politi, and as mentioned multiple times, his outlet is represented by Zags on this call as they are paying him as a freelancer to cover SHU who like it or not, gets the highest level of access along with Jerry. Politi trying to swoop in when we’re in our worst OOC stretch in forever is bad faith and he would do nothing but throw bombs.

I wasn’t invited to that call either for the record, but i likely would not have been able to attend anyway.

The first and most important element in any venture is the quality of its leadership followed closely by having the resources to implement your strategic plan . The question I keep asking is whether we have the right person running our athletic program and how do we build our resources to fund our athletic efforts, especially basketball. Until we answer those questions we’ll remain mired where we are now

I think it's fantastic. Who needs that clown? In the end, as SHUSource said so well, no one will care.
