Hoyas up 2-0 63 min in
Murrell, again, in the first half and a JMU own goal in the 60th min.
Now time to see this game out.

I’d be interested to see how many of the 800 would sign 25 years from now when their children are applying. Kids are swept up by the prevailing winds. I’d also like to know how many are legacy themselves….

Let's face it...we rely far more on the internet and all-sports radio/television outlets for our breaking sports news than we do on newspaper sports sections. The acquisition of The Athletic by the NYTimes spelled the ultimate end of the independent Times sports pages. Print media, in general, has failed to adapt and capitalize on the electronic age wherein we get our news from Twitter and dot coms. This was inevitable...another "end of era" in our lives. So gone are the days when students had WP subscriptions? I remember the first few days of school we had to set up a Riggs Bank account, request a phone line and sign up for the WPost. I remember the Discover Card was brand new. We recently took a few college tours and I was amazed at their focus on mental health and food/dining options. It made me laugh thinking how we had to settle for Marriott tater tots and a sad excuse for a salad bar. One school allowed its students to use their college meal plans at nearby participating restaurants. Another college’s dining hall serves gourmet-level meals. To HoyaTalk’s GU students and parents, please tell future students and parents what does college life look like these days? No landlines, no newspapers? How about TVs? Student banking accounts? Private vs college health plans? Cable TV or cable-cutting? If you’re going to raise veal, the boxes and the food are paramount…

Let the deplorable MAGA criticism begin. U.S. and Iran trade prisoners, signaling partial thaw in relations The United States and Iran freed 10 people on Monday in a high-stakes prisoner swap that signaled a partial thaw in the icy relations between the longtime adversaries. Five American citizens held in Iran will fly to the United States after a brief stop in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar. The U.S. government, in exchange, released five Iranian prisoners and unblocked the transfer of $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil funds held in South Korea. The deal, negotiated over several months, marks a major breakthrough for the bitter foes that remain at odds over a range of issues, including the rapid expansion of Tehran’s nuclear program, its ongoing military support for Russia and Iran’s harsh crackdown on internal dissent. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/09/18/us-iran-prisoner-exchange/I am happy to hear that five Americans are coming home.

If Harry needs a letter of recommendation, I am sure several hundred people on this board could write one. All support gratefully accepted.

Will be nice to see the boys get back on the beam tonight against the Twerps.
Growing pains in the back speak volumes about the value of Daniel Wu.

Harry submitted his GU application today.
Fingers crossed…
Would be something very right about him attending a school that has so lovingly supported him.

Like having the test sent directly from the testing service eliminates fraud. In many cases, top athletes aren’t taking their own tests. 🤣 I may have mentioned this earlier, but that clause is not about athletes, but a new trend among colleges looking for more applications: SRAR. This stands for "Self-Reported Academic Record" and, yes, some schools now let applicants enter their own grades (and test scores) online to be considered for admission. (What could go wrong?) Shockingly, this is true. My son just completed the SRAR process. It is mind-boggling though I presume the idea is to level the field for applicants whose secondary schools lack the resources and infrastructure to meaningfully assist the kids in the process, which is clearly a salutary purpose.

Very nice bounce back for the guys.
Good to see some very nice combo play and some high quality finishing.
Love the new kit as well.

This is concerning, again. He needs to retire immediately. He is not up to his job physically. Sadly, this epidemic of past their prime leaders hanging on to power (or in some places being propped up by sycophants) like grim death is coin of the realm in DC.

While we are on this topic, what qualifies as a mass shooting?
2,3, 4 or more?
I ask because I live adjacent to the demilitarized zone that is Philadelphia (50+ years of one party rule) and I never see a thing out here about the daily tally of gun crimes and deaths under Messrs. Kenney and Krasner’s watch.

As thorough a dismantling as we have seen in recent years.
Two large takeaways:
1. Stanford is really good 2. We were a very tired and heavy legged team this t good not regain its footing after falling behind.
I expect the Staff will have a lot to say and that the boys will respond well.
Hoya Saxa gentlemen!!
