Scrimmage was free. Two 12 minute halves.

Fee to go on court after the game for the autograph session was $45 for adults, $15 for kids. They gave you a team poster to get signed.

Attendance was probably 1,500-2,000. The sideline 100s were filled, with a few people in the 200s.

Easy NIL money .

Juice and charlie hustle in same year

If you count John Ashton from Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run, it could be 4

Wow. Met him many years ago at his restaurant in Boca Raton. What a character. And what a player. So unfortunate he couldn’t contain his worst instincts.

Did you actually listen to the interview? I've linked it below. She literally called Caitlin Clark great, someone has to be a real Clark groupie to get your panties in a bunch over that.

I still stand by my statement that Tuarasi was wrong in her assessment of Clark’s ability. Not sure I think she hated on her but she did misread Clark’s ability to adapt.

For what it's worth, Connecticut also has a charity scrimmage with URI coming up.

I think this article is what everyone is referring to about Tuarasi.

What did Diana Taurasi say about Caitlin Clark? WNBA legend praises Fever rookie following first matchup | Sporting News

The future Hall of Famer had lots of praise for the rookie following their first game against each other.

www.sportingnews.com

She stated that she would take Paige over Clark and that Clark would have a hard time adjusting. Not sure she said she was a great player or that she would figure it out. While I usually don’t care about women’s basketball, I believe Tuarasi was proven wrong.

Actually, I don't think either have.

It's amazing to me how the Caitlin Clark zealots have a meltdown over any statement that isn't a deification of her.

One of my old neighbors, an army guy working out of ft monmouth and far from a lib, told me that the copters they used were the wrong ones to work if a desert is involved. I have looked this up on the web many times and never saw this being discussed. Wonder if anyone ever heard this.

Never heard that. I believe they were Sea Stallion helicopters and for them to have been selected they would have to have been the recommendation of our combined military leaders. Their value was their capacity, long range and the fact that they launched from an aircraft carrier and would presumably return to one.

This is not a biography on his life. It's a tribute to a man who is a far better human being than most any of us who is about to reach a major milestone.

Maybe step back a little and just appreciate that.

you post these and I responded respectfully. We celebrate him because he was President. A view on his presidency while lauding his life is completely appropriately. Perhaps not to your liking but I was respectful. And for the record I voted for Carter twice.

What were the details of the RU event in terms of cost and attendance?

For those old enough to remember, it's 1973 all over again.

The only difference is we didn't have to play the second game of that doubleheader.

Miracle mets , Amazing Mets, ya gotta believe.

I guess it was worth. That was one hell of a game.

Yeah, I'm not sure that actually happened. That's the point. They both spoken well of her.

I think it's fair to say Geno, and many people in and around the game underestimated how good CC would be in year 1.
He said it was disrespectful to the league that she was 3rd or 4th in betting odds for the MVP when the season started. She ended up 4th.

He wasn't wrong that it did seem very unlikely she would come in dominate the league. She needed time to adapt to the speed and physicality but she got there quicker than most reasonable doubters expected.

To be fair, the law signed by DeSantis was designed to stop the collapse of the home insurance industry in Florida.

May they both RIP. Mutombo is a huge surprise. So young. Very sad.

Seton75 said:

My point is, one of them, or maybe both asked if CC won three NCs. And frankly, I have had enough of his one lol. I am sure Taurasi's college totals are not close to CC. And that is as meaningless as the NCs CC has won in terms of how good each player is.

I am not worked up. Lets go Mets.

I would imagine the parking and concession revenue would go to the school.

This is likely as much a business move as it is a talent move. According to the Spotrac, Minnesota is past the second apron of the NBA's luxury tax (around $188 million) even after this move. The Knicks are slightly under that limit but are also hard capped to it this year.

Minnesota with KAT, Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert each making over $40 million per year are likely looking to get under that second apron number. It's important because the CBA that went into effect last season makes it more difficult for teams in the luxury tax to make moves.

When is Rutgers scrimmage vs St Johns? I would actually enjoy going to that. Something to do to get excited about college hoops coming soon. And two legit teams we have connections to.
