It's really hard for me to understand that people see it as an inconvenience to just go on election day. People figured it out for a couple centuries. It's a process many people in the world can only dream of having, but to have one day to do it isn't good enough here. We're entitled to do it on our own time. You know it's election day more than a few years in advance, you can plan for it. Tuesday November 7, 2028 is the next presidential election after this one. If you have to sacrifice something else to vote on election day, sacrifice it. I guarantee people will sacrifice many things to go to a sporting event, see a play, watch their kids play. Sacrifice something to vote...no.

Other countries hold their vote on a weekend to make it easier.
Those who don't vote on a weekend, make voting day a national holiday or mandate that employees be given time off to vote.

Instead of doing any of the that, we allow for early voting in most states.

It should not be a sacrifice. There are millions of voters in the US who wait longer than 30 minutes to vote. In some areas it can take waiting on lines for hours which is insane. We should be looking for ways to decrease the time it takes to vote and you want to increase it?

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA. - The Seton Hall men's golf team will close the fall season with three rounds of competition at the FAU Golf Invitational, October 28-29, at PGA National Resort.

Tournament Details:
FAU GOLF INVITATIONAL
Host: Florida Atlantic University
Location: Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
Course: PGA National Resort
Course Vitals: Par-72, 7,045 yards
Dates: October 28-29, 2024

THE COURSE:
Do you have what it takes to conquer "The Champ?" Considered one of the toughest tests on the PGA TOUR, The Champion golf course at PGA National Resort is 7,045 yards of peril, with tricky South Florida winds constantly causing havoc, and seemingly tranquil water penalty areas lurking throughout — ready to strike down even the world's best golfers. Home of The Cognizant Classic and The Bear Trap, The Champion is a must-play on any avid golfer's list.

Originally designed by Tom and George Fazio for major tournament play, The Champion was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus in 2014 and hosts the PGA TOUR's Cognizant Classic each spring. It features The Bear Trap, which spans three demanding holes designed by Nicklaus, and is called "one of the toughest stretches in golf." Listen to the designer describe it in his own words.

According to a story by The New York Times, "The Champion's layout at PGA National is 7,045 yards of venom, a king cobra of a course that rises without warning to strike down the world's best golfers. Snake charmers may have a better chance of taming it than the players at The Honda Classic."

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Florida Atlantic, the field includes 10 other schools: Abilene Christian, Central Arkansas, Central Florida, Jacksonville State, North Alabama, Stetson, Temple, Toledo, UAB, and USF.

THE FORMAT:
Teams will play five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.

THE LINEUP:
Here's the lineup for the Pirates…
  1. George Fricker, Senior
  2. David Lally, Junior
  3. Patrick Kahanek, Junior
  4. Will Hennessee, Freshman
  5. Jack Bosworth, Junior
Individual: Luke Nolan, Freshman

LAST TIME OUT:
Senior George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) fired a 5-under-par, 139, to win the 2024 GlenArbor Invite and lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a second-place finish on Sunday.

Fricker had six birdies and eight pars in route to a 3-under-par, 69, in round one, followed by five more birdies in round two on his way to a 2-under-par, 70. The Seton Hall senior won the individual title by one stroke over Harvard's William Ma with a 5-under-par, 69-70-139. It's Fricker's second career victory and eighth top-10 finish.

As a team, The Hall improved a remarkable 18 stroke from round one to round two. It shot a 21-over-par, 309, in round one, but bounced back for a field-best 3-over-par, 291, in round two. For the tournament, the Pirates were 24-over-par with a 309-291-600. Harvard won the event at 9-over-par.

THE SCHEDULE:
The teams will play two continuous rounds on Monday beginning with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. The Pirates will be paired with golfers from Temple, UAB and North Alabama for rounds one and two, starting on holes six through 10. A final round will also begin at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

THE RESULTS:
Live scoring will be available throughout the tournament via Scoreboard.clippd.com. Complete results of each day's events will also be available following competition at SHUpirates.com.

It's a process many people in the world can only dream of having, but to have one day to do it isn't good enough here. We're entitled to do it on our own time. It's a right and a privilege, just not one worth sacrificing our daily lives for. I'd bet there's parts of the world that would love election hour because they have no say. You know it's election day more than a few years in advance, you can plan for it. Tuesday November 7, 2028 is the next presidential election after this one. If you have to sacrifice something else to vote on election day, sacrifice it. I guarantee people will sacrifice many things to go to a sporting event, see a play, watch their kids play. Sacrifice something to vote...no. Can't stand on line for 3 hours, but will go home and sit in front of the tv for 6 hours.

53 points is just concerning because lack of offense was such a known concern going into the season. It kind of validates what we all feared could be the reality.

But having said that - you are correct. It's a scrimmage and the results need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Part of me says ehhh it’s a scrimmage don’t put too much thought into it. But the other part of me says the offense might be as poor as expected

Stick with the first part. These secret scrimmages are closer to practices than to games in many ways. Coaches can stop play to explain things. Often, coaches are trying out different combos to see where there is chemistry and what works.

That said, as a fan, 53 points would be concerning.

That's my biggest concern with this team, especially in the way that would result in another lackluster nonconference record. I am pretty confident they are going to look quite good by the time Big East play begins in earnest.

The scrimmage itself doesn't do anything for me. I never put any stock in them, and I'd say the same thing if that score in this thread were reversed. They're all just working on things. Back in the leather-helmet days, my DePaul football team scrimmaged Paterson Kennedy at the old Hinchliffe Stadium and we beat them pretty decisively. I felt pretty good about it, as Kennedy had a guy who would be a good NFL player for about ten years in Devon McDonald. In the regular season, we went 1-8 and Kennedy finished 11-0 and as Group IV state champs, playing out of the old NNJIL, which was the best league in New Jersey back then. Taught me the value of divining futures based on scrimmages.

By the way DePaul is very good this year and was undefeated and ranked 2nd until they were upset last week .

With all the new guys on the roster and the talent in the league, it could be well into January before the team and coach click.
