That move to the Big South for football isn't working well for Bob's School of Business. This past Saturday they lost 27-9 to Murray State to go to 0-10 on the year. They've been outscored 342-103 so far this season heading into the finale vs. Bryant. Its not going well either on the basketball side, going 10-40 since joining the Horizon League in 2020.

What was the thinking for them to move conferences? I never paid attention.

Heartbreaking and senseless. The kid was on the radar screen for trouble too, but no action was taken. Now here we are. What a shame.

Behavior intervention and threat assessment at colleges is what I do for a living. Sometimes its hard to do something - especially for public schools if the kid lives off campus. You can alert police but they often won't act unless a crime has occurred. But you're right - he was on their radar for a while. Too often students pop up as a concern from multiple places on campus - athletics, counseling center, housing, etc. Professors are getting much better at reporting when students have a sudden change in demeanor or do something that seems off. What's especially frustrating is that he had prior concerns about guns - including real gun charges. I'm curious about why he left the football team and if it was related to behavior.

Over in Idaho, it appears someone was targeting people in Greek Life. 4 killed by stabbing.

What a world we're in. Yikes.

For those who haven't seen the updates since this morning, at UVA a former football player shot and killed 3 current UVA football players on campus. Unsure if the two other victims in the hospital are current or former football players. Just awful.

The Penn State foosball team might ask the Nits hockey team how the beat top ranked teams. In the span of 7 days the Nits knocked off #1 ranked Meatchicken in hockey then did it again against Minnehaha after they took over the top ranking.

When I was at Bloomsburg there were quite a few NJ students. Not the same volume as a place like PSU but I was surprised at how many of them came over here for school. No idea if that’s still the case.

That's pretty much the case for a lot of PASSHE schools in the East. West Chester, Kutztown and East Stroudsburg draw a lot of students from Jersey from what I've seen.

According to federal reporting data, if Penn State's main campus were in New Jersey (kind of like a reverse Dr. Oz), Penn State would be top 5 for New Jersey students enrolled.

I bet there are more NJ students attending Penn State's main campus than from all of western PA. The student culture there is incredibly mid-atlantic: Philly, New Jersey, DMV, Long Island. Very affluent, very entitled, etc.

Villanova is the same way.

Other than a few years by Schiano before joining the B1G, UJoisey hasn't been able to find their football footing. Being in the shadows of State Penn (where a lot of Jersey kids have ended up over the years) and flat out incompetence in Piscataway has made it impossible for Rutgers to ever be relevant.

Remember they even got that big push (during their brief run) from Tony Soprano.

God, do I miss that show.

You wonder why. New Jersey has football talent but it leaves the state. The campus is between two major cities. The pieces are there.

Man, I don't know what it is, but it seems like every year a handful of Pitt athletes rough up a woman. We're already at two.

Typical "UJoisey" foosball for ya. Talk about a century and a half of mediocrity...

Jimbo lost his 5th straight today. They may be stuck with him. Buyout is insane ... even by SEC standards.

The N-I-L A&M fanbase is delusional, even by SEC standards. For some odd reason, they say Jimbo have one good year at Florida State and think that he was the second coming of Gene Stallings. Yeah ... no.
