It's undeniable that he is the best ever at QB. But he acted like a real a*hole this weekend. He was shown giving his offensive line a ton of s**t during their loss to Pittsburgh. Low-life move, imho. And now we learn he was away from the team for the weekend up until yesterday morning so he could attend Robert Kraft's wedding. Again,no denying his legendary career on the field but he strikes me as a true egotistical jerk.

Here was my experience at Bunny's after the Saturday Blue/White scrimmage

I got to Bunny's around 230PM to set up our area which was the back part of the restaurant which covered about 10 tables and has a seating capacity of around 50 people. Unfortunately at that time most of the tables had customers there and the waitresses were still seating customers. Seeing that I sought out the manager on duty, Britney, a young and very pleasant lady. She told her staff to not seat anyone else as that area was designated for our event.

During that time many SHU people, mostly all from our board started to trickle in and sit in our area ordering food and drink on their own tabs. That continued until 3PM when the players (pictures later in the day curtesy of Harty9) came in and sat at the back tables allowing for easy access to the Pirate fans, both young and old.

Still, there were customers seated in the area finishing their meals and drinks causing some confusion as I was trying to ensure only those who paid were allows access to the area. In fact multiple people, many of them unpaid SHU students started to fill the area and had to be weeded out without disturbing the paid patrons.

Eventually those patrons left their tables by 315PM and from that point on I was able to control access.

I would estimate over the next hour plus we had a total of 80 people in the area talking SHU basketball, meeting the players, having children bring items to sign or have the players sign pictures of the roster I supplied. During that time Bunny's brought out pizzas to every table non stop until the event closed ship around 340PM or so. Here I want to plug Bunney's because there is no doubt they lost money as the rest of their restaurant was packed, both inside and outside. Losing 10 tables and making about 35-40 pies gratis was a gesture that all SHU fans should thank and in the future when anyone here is looking for a place to eat look no further than Bunny's, who supports the Hall as well as if not better than any restaurant in the Village.

A special shout out to Harty 9 who....

1. Took pictures for this site and for Eric's site.

2. Brought past Seton Hall superstar Glenn Mosley to the event.

3. Paid for Mosley's ticket as Glenn has faced difficult times financially and health wise.

Staying with Glenn....during the time there I introduced him to the team but as expected none of them knew who he was. After all he played decades before the SHU players were born. But once I told them of his feats at the school and the fact that he was a first round NBA draft choice that changed as you were able to see his interactions with the players. In short I told them that Glenn accomplished in the 70s what they desire to accomplish now, play BB at the highest level.

The final thing we did was to go outside and have multiple team picture taken by both Harty and Britney and then the event was over.

Bunny's handled everything so well that I sought out the staff and gave them a $200.00 tip. Money they earned as they no doubt lost tips from normal patrons in the 2 hours we had the area.

Bottom line, this went so well that I hope it becomes a yearly event. Everyone had a great time, Piratecrew was incredibly generous with their support and the players were well behaved and extremely cordial to everyone.

You here, the players and Bunny's made the end of University Day special.

Thank you all.

5. New York Giants (5-1)​

Week 6 ranking: 11

The Giants weren't expected to win many games this season (my projection was six). You blame me? They hadn't topped six wins in any of the previous five seasons. But all they've done so far is find ways to win, whether it's by going for two in the opener, shutting out Aaron Rodgers in the second half or getting their first interception of the season to win them the game against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. It doesn't matter that the Giants are 23rd in total offense and 15th in defense. Coach Brian Daboll has this team believing and finishing. They've outscored opponents 87-49 in the second half of games. -- Jordan Raanan

9. New York Jets (4-2)​

Week 6 ranking: 16

The rookie class is developing quicker than expected. Cornerback Sauce Gardner and running back Breece Hall, in particular, have made such an impact that they have to be considered candidates for Defensive and Offensive Rookie of the Year, respectively. Gardner has eight pass breakups, one interception and has allowed only one reception in man coverage, per NFL Next Gen Stats. Hall replaced Michael Carter as the RB1 and is ninth in the league with 609 yards from scrimmage. Growing pains? Not at all. -- Rich Cimini

A total, complete stiff

J.P. Pelzman: In terms of assistants, what does Rasheen Davis bring to the table? I know Sha has a lot of trust in him.

Jaden Daly: I've known Rasheen Davis for almost 10 years, since he was with Steve Masiello at Manhattan. He's a man who builds relationships. He will get to know you and your family before he pays attention to what your game is like and how you are on the floor. That is going to make him an elite recruiter at this level. Rasheen Davis is going to be someone who is going to have Seton Hall in play for a lot of top 100, top 200 prospects just because of his ability to connect with young men.

It's almost at the level of Sha’s ability to connect with these young men. He will take an interest in you and what you’re interested in and use that to help evaluate what he’s looking for on and off the floor. His ability to build relationships is something that Seton Hall hasn’t had on staff for a long time. I really can’t remember an assistant that Kevin (Willard) had, other than Sha, that was as good with that. Rasheen is going to be for Sha what Sha was for Kevin. I really believe that.

Just a reminder....

Pirates picked seventh in the BIG EAST preseason poll​

NEW YORK - Seton Hall men's basketball junior guard Kadary Richmond (Brooklyn, N.Y.) has been named to the BIG EAST Preseason All-Conference Second Team, the BIG EAST Conference announced at its annual media day on Tuesday.

The preseason order of finish, according to a coaches vote, was also unveiled Tuesday, and the Pirates have been picked to finish seventh. The last time The Hall was slotted seventh in the preseason poll was 2015-16. The Pirates would go on to win the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden in March of that season.

A long, rangy point guard, Richmond is coming off of a solid sophomore campaign in his first season with the Pirates where he averaged 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game. He finished fourth in the conference in assists per contest and fifth in steals. Richmond battled through injuries during conference play and helped lead the Pirates to their fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six contested.

Richmond posted one of the top single-game performances in the BIG EAST last season when he dropped a career-high 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field in a 90-87 victory over Connecticut on Jan. 8 at Prudential Center. 25 of Richmond's 27 points were scored in the second half, including a stretch where he alone outscored the Huskies, 17-7.

Led by head coach Shaheen Holloway '00, who returned to his alma mater in March after leading Saint Peter's to the 2022 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, Seton Hall boasts a wealth of experience on the roster with five returning Pirates from last season and five transfers that combine for 13 years of Div. I basketball experience. In total, this veteran Seton Hall team has appeared in 775 career collegiate games and combined for 6,019 points, 2,971 rebounds and 1,072 assists.

The Pirates, which have finished in the top half of the BIG EAST standings in each of the last seven seasons, are coming off a fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six contested.

Single-game tickets for the 2022-23 Seton Hall men's basketball season at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., are on sale now through Ticketmaster. Single-game prices start at $30 with 15 games to choose from, including Seton Hall's annual matchups against BIG EAST foes Providence (Dec. 17), St. John's (Dec. 31), Connecticut (Jan. 18), Marquette (Jan. 21), Xavier (Feb. 24) and Villanova (Feb. 28) as well as the Gavitt Tip-Off Games contest against Iowa on Nov. 16.

The full schedule features a wide variety of options that offer all Pirates fans the opportunity to visit The Rock and cheer on The Hall, including seven weekend games and five weeknight games that start at 7 p.m., or earlier.

Season tickets, which start at just $195 per seat plus a $60 Priority Seat Premium, and a six-game mini-plan, which starts at $240 per seat, are also available through the Seton Hall ticket office. Current Seton Hall basketball season ticket holders can also purchase discounted single-game tickets to all games by calling the ticket office at (973) 275-4255.

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.

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.

Let’s hope this is his first step towards an NBA career.
