What a great day, buoyed by sunny skies and low 70s temperatures.

I'll summarize my day below......

Park-Lane was one of only four unanimous selections.​

NEW YORK – Seton Hall women's basketball graduate student Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) and senior Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) were named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team on Tuesday during the conference's annual media day.

Named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, Cooks was everything the Pirates had hoped she would be in her first year in South Orange. Named BIG EAST Player of the Week on Dec. 27, and to the Weekly Honor Roll on Feb. 28, she ranked sixth in the BIG EAST with 15.9 points per game, fourth with 7.9 rebounds per game and fourth with 1.5 blocks in 30.7 minutes per game. Cooks topped 20 points in a single-game eight times, and 30 points twice including a career-high 35-point outburst against Butler on Feb. 22. Twice Cooks made 15 field goals in a game, which tied the program record for a single-game. Her seven blocks against DePaul on Jan. 30 are the second-most ever for a Pirate and the most since former Pirate Kelley Moore blocked seven against Pittsburgh on Jan. 8, 1990. She was named to the WNIT All-Tournament Team.

Named All-Met Division I Player of the Year, Park-Lane was a unanimous selection to the All-BIG EAST First Team and earned Nancy Lieberman National Point Guard of the Year Watch List recognition. Park-Lane finished third in the BIG EAST in scoring with 18.3 points per game and set Seton Hall's single-season points record. As a playmaker, she led the nation in total assists and set Seton Hall records for assists in a season (260) and in a single-game (18). Her 152 assists in BIG EAST play set a new conference mark. Named to both the BIG EAST and WNIT All-Tournament Teams, Park-Lane averaged 21.3 points and 5.6 assists per contest in nine postseason games. Named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll seven times, she also led the nation with 1,420 minutes played and 38.4 minutes per game. This is Park-Lane's second straight placement on the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. She was one of only four unanimous selections this year.

An NIL is possibly being set up for Saturday Oct 15 after the men's open practice at Walsh. It will depend on availability and cost of a restaurant in the South Orange Village area. I am working on that right now.

If the price is right and we get enough people to attend, with the help of Eric all the team members (minus Samuel, Yetna and Ndiaye) will appear for 2 hours to sign autographs and talk to everyone in attendance.

The cost will be $100.00 per person. That will include piazza along with the access to the players. There will also be a cash bar for drinks.

100% of the money earned minus the cost of the restaurant will go to the players. Neither Eric or I will charge for our services.

For this to happen we need at the very least 50 people, but would want many more. Meaning I need to know who here wants to be involved. And I say that asking for those that respond that they are coming to actually come and not change their minds at the last minute. To ensure that does not happen Eric will want to be paid ASAP if this event is scheduled. Details on that would be posted next week.

So many people wanted to get involved but Eric only dealt with large donors. To give you an idea how large, my donation of $1,000.00 was the smallest he secured. That now changes if we can get enough posters here plus others that are being informed of this event to attend.

Please reply on this thread if you are definitely interested. And if you're not sure then please do not reply.

Bunny: An open, uncontested shot, usually a layup, put-back or dunk.

This past Saturday HallDan hosted an event at Bunny’s with the men’s basketball team to give Seton Hall fans the opportunity to be a part of supporting an NIL with 100% of the proceeds going to its players. It was a highly successful event as everyone who contributed, even the smallest amount, did so out of their love for Seton Hall.

I was touched to meet a fan who lost his job and couldn’t afford much but still wanted to contribute $100 so that he could be a part of it. There were retirees and young people who were barely beginning their working careers. There were kids with star-struck happy faces and players graciously taking pictures and signing autographs.

Saturday was a truly a magnificent day for the Seton Hall Community and the Seton Hall campus was a lively festival arranged in a stunningly transformative quad area with new construction that seamlessly blends deep-rooted and contemporary architecture. A new, innovative, state of the art practice facility is on the horizon and we have a coach named Holloway who is universally loved by the fan base, a favored son who promotes heart, hustle and a bright future.

When you hear about BIG schools with BIG campus buildings making BIG contributions to NIL, it’s so good to see Seton Hall’s grassroots level campaign at work making small (Bunny) contributions from our passionate fan base. This will surely lead to larger involvement from those who can contribute major money.

I say cheers to HallDan who has mentioned doing this on an annual basis. I think it’s a ‘Slam Dunk’ a ‘Bunny’. Small contributors make the BIGGEST impact.



‘Bunny-Up’ Go PIRATES!!!

If the giants lost and ru played, i could read about football here all weekend.

#37 St John's
#38 Xavier
#48 Seton Hall
#57 Providence

Name the father and son pitchers who have combined for the most Ks in MLB . Hint: The son had his first K this season .

The pearl of the school's campus, the University Center, is now a month away from being completed. The scheduled date is the first week in November.

Those going to Seton Hall Weekend Oct 15th give it a look. I saw it last a year ago and even then under heavy construction it was awesome.

Go early and then after the men's practice (preceded by the women's practice) join us at Bunny's.....

South Orange, N.J. – The Pirates remained tied atop the BIG EAST standings on Saturday afternoon as they played Creighton to a 1-1 draw at Owen T. Carroll Field. Quenzi Huerman (Vannes, France) scored the equalizing penalty kick goal in the 90th minute to earn The Hall a point.

How it Happened
The match played out evenly in more areas than just the final score, as neither side was able to tilt the pitch in its favor for long. The first real threat of the match came in the 11th minute, as Mattias Almeida Sundell (Sweden) struck one towards goal that was saved by Creighton goalkeeper Paul Kruse.

Physicality was paramount throughout the full 90 minutes as well, as the teams combined for 30 fouls and eight yellow cards.

Later in the opening half, Luca Dahn (Kahl, Germany) had a great look at goal off a corner kick swung in by Johannes Pex (Stephansposching, Germany). Dahn's header was aimed towards the near post, but went just wide of the mark.

In the 74th minute, Creighton was able to break through with the game's first goal. Diego Dutilh sent a cross in from just before the end line, where it was deflected in by Alfie Pope to give the Bluejays a 1-0 lead.

From there, the Pirates went into attack mode to find an equalizer. In what was likely their last gasp, the Pirates were awarded a corner kick in the 90th minute. As Pex played the ball into the penalty area, Creighton's Miguel Ventura wrestled Konstantin Donalies (Bremen, Germany) to the turf, prompting a penalty to be called. Huerman was tasked with taking the penalty kick, and he calmly stepped up and buried the equalizing goal.

Unfortunately more bad news yesterday.

80% of CEOs believe we are headed into an extended recession as well.

On healthcare….
Here’s a survey of HAP (Hospital Association of Pennsylvania) members on labor costs that since 2019:

• Hourly rates paid to staffing agencies for registered nurses providing direct patient care in medical/surgical and other units have increased by 108% from $59 per hour to $123 per hour while the average number of shifts per day worked by temporary staff increased from five to eleven
• Hourly rates paid to staffing agencies for registered nurses providing direct patient care in specialty units have increased by 82% from $66 per hour to $120 per hour while the average number of shifts per day worked by temporary staff increased from four to nine
• Hourly rates paid to staffing agencies for nursing support staff (such as certified nurse assistants, patient care assistants, and nurse assistants) have increased by 444% from $9 per hour to $49 per hour while the average number of shifts per day worked by temporary nursing support staff increased from three to five

I post this because these are costs that cannot be clawed back and you cannot reduce the amount of nursing care as it is regulated. So these costs have been incurred and will flow through new insurance rates and ultimately to the consumer. hospitals would’ve done this sooner but the stimulus money they received enabled them to run their operations without raising prices. Look for your healthcare costs skyrocket over the next 2 to 5 years. Healthcare is 20% of our GDP so these increases will have a significant impact on continued inflation.

Deserving of judgment against him or no?
