Against the odds, Grant Billmeier built NJIT into a title contender. The 4th-year skipper on fending off poachers for PG David Bolden, finding a stud forward in Belgium ('further along than Sandro was') and more: app.com/story/sports/college… via @asburyparkpress

Capper has always been a Hall of Famer. Love this.
A 🏀 institution at Wagner and in the NEC. A broadcasting icon. 30 years as an NEC analyst. The man behind the legendary, ahead-of-its-time Holding Court (😂) halftime segments. And, above all, one of the best human beings you’ll ever meet.
One of one. That’s Capper!
A huge congrats to @TimCapstraw on his well-deserved induction into the Wagner Athletics Hall of Fame! 👏
It was great being with Jerry Walker last night and hosting the annual Team Walker gala. It’s the organization’s 30th year and they do so much for Jersey City youth. Bob Hurley, Shaheen Holloway, Donald Copeland, and many others were on-hand for the fundraiser. Congrats Jerry.

Seton Hall's new center, Bergen Catholic alum Terry Copeland, is doing some eye-opening stuff in his homecoming.

Call me crazy but traditionally low paying work--education, social work, clergy, and the arts --is often the most valuable and most deserving of public support.
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf
I watched @NJITHoops practice yesterday. They took a nice step forward under Grant Billmeier last year. They look deeper and have quality size for America East. AE Freshman of the Year David Bolden is back. They made it to the conference semis last year and this team feels at least that good.
This tribute was remarkable and well-deserved. Congratulations to the great @HowieRose !

Most starts allowing 0-1 ER in a season, American League history (excluding openers)

Some @SetonHallMBB schedule thoughts:
- At Alabama is a tall task, so it makes the Bahamas trip vital, in terms of non-conf resume wins. Win two there and with an expanded Tournament field and a tougher BIG EAST, it means they can reasonably dream.
- Not only are 3 of the first 4 BIG EAST games on the road, but the first 3 home games are STJ, CRE, UCONN. Tough start, if they weather that, they'll be in great shape.
- Only one flight between Jan. 3 and Feb. 13. That will save their legs/stamina during the heart of the season.

I had a pretty epic weekend hosting the inaugural Union Jazz Festival. Superior artists, audiences, and production team. Already looking forward to running it back next year. Thanks to our media partner @WBGO , Mike Griot, and Union Arts Center.
