Its wild when you're at the top of the empire state building or any of the major skyscrapers in NYC and you look to the north and west and see rolling hills and mountains. And to the west in NJ it's marshy tidally etc. hence the name Meadowlands. I never would have thought that in the biggest metropolis in the country that you'd even be able to see countryside like that.One of the great surprises is how quickly you get into some nice forests and small towns when you start driving west from East Rutherford and gross Newark.
I don’t know if they are nice, but I thought the area about 30 min west of Newark was kind of cool.
Probably a pineyI met a dude at ISU, biggest hick I'd ever met, and that's saying something. Little dude, tight wranglers, dinner plate sized belt buckle, Confederate Flags on the his jacked up truck.
He was from New Jersey.
I've spent enough time in the Leonia area. Don't need to go back.Hoboken has some good restaurants, try Napolis
I grew up in Connecticut. Years ago an ISU student I knew was flown out there for an interview. He came back and was so surprised that there were so many rolling hills and trees. He thought the east coast was all concrete.Its wild when you're at the top of the empire state building or any of the major skyscrapers in NYC and you look to the north and west and see rolling hills and mountains.

Even if he lives on a farm in New Jersey, this is still New York sports we are talking about. Crazy media, pressure, high expectations
Glenn and Flores are really hurt by the fact that everybody wants an offensive guru as a head coach. They've both done amazing jobs, and Flores did a pretty good job as HC at Miami.If I'm the Jets, I go get Aaron Glenn. He's done amazing in Detroit, former Jet, he is already familiar with the foreseted rolling hills of NJ and the Hoboken restaurant scene ....it just makes sense.
Honestly, I feel like Chi/NY media/fan pressure has lessened quite a bit over the last ten years as most of their teams outside the Yankees have not be all that dominant.
Feels like expectations have been lowered.
Where are you seeing the Jags job?
Also I don't see him playing games like that. Maybe he decides Iowa State isn't serious about NIL, but I doubt he is going to ***** about the split between football and basketball.
Yep my relative in NJ has bears at his apartment complex, kind of lives on a mountain.Can confirm, they are nice (I live 30 minutes west of Newark and about 20 minutes north of the jets practice facility, lol. For perspective, we have enough bears here that bear proof cans are required in our town)
If that was a serious bone of contention, it would have been sorted out prior to signing his new contract.Hmmm...buddy at work that is super locked into the NFL told me his name was out for the Jags job but now that I look online I don't see anything...my bad, didn't mean to start a rumor!
Also, do I believe MC would do ANYTHING to get funds to his program? Yes - Matt has canned very close personal friends for the betterment of the program, he would for sure "play games" to make sure his program was funded the way he wants it.

I thought I heard Vrabel and the Patriots.?Rez Ryan took them to back to back afc championship games so he has a good history there. I think Vrabel is a more likely hire though.
That was speculation. They were still interviewing candidates today. Meeting with Vrabel ThursdayI thought I heard Vrabel and the Patriots.?
Like, pet monkeys and stripper poles anything?Lol yeah I kinda think anything.
Not sure about NY, but I keep my in pulse on a lot of Chicago sports talk, and the media has not changed other then they have to talk about a lot of bad teams.Honestly, I feel like Chi/NY media/fan pressure has lessened quite a bit over the last ten years as most of their teams outside the Yankees have not be all that dominant.
