As we get to mid-April we get to Rivalry Week Part 1, and we see classic games like North Carolina-Duke and Army-Navy. For the most part we have great conference clashes up and down the schedule this week. However, one giant non-conference game highlights the schedule this week. Central New York powerhouses Cornell and Syracuse head to Long Island to square off in the Game of the Week. D-Fly and Dixie are here to set the table for all of this week's feast.

Our guest this week is Rutgers standout sophomore goalkeeper and 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Cardin Stoller. Stoller has been excellent, especially in last week's upset Maryland in which he stopped 14 shots and scored his second goal of the season. The guys talk about Camp Takajo, the MIAA to Rutgers pipeline, redshirting, Big Ten Freshman of the Year, the 2025 Scarlet Knights season, his Rutgers teammates, Goaliesmith, the upcoming matchup with Michigan, swimming in the Inner Harbor, Boys' Latin all-time greats and much, much more. WEEKEND PREVIEW Six games in our preview this week, with five legit Top 20 matchups and two Top 10 games and one of the best rivalries in the sport to highlight this week's schedule.  SATURDAY No. 5 Army (9-1, 4-1 Patriot) at Navy (7-4, 3-2), 12:30 p.m., CBS Sports Network One of the best rivalries in the sport. Army has won the last two years, but Navy won 4-of-5 prior to that. While this is one of those rivalries where record truly doesn't matter, that is not the case. We haven't talked about Navy in a while, but they're right behind Army. No. 19 Johns Hopkins (6-5, 0-3 B1G) at No. 8 Penn State (7-3, 1-2), 1 p.m., Big Ten Plus What can you say? The Jays need this. Hopkins has controlled this series, winning last year and four of the last five meetings. However, this one is at Penn State, and the Nittany Lions have won four of the last five meetings in University Park. No. 6 Maryland (8-2, 1-2 B1G) at No. 2 Ohio State (11-1, 3-0), 2 p.m., Big Ten Network Big game in Columbus. Maryland has dominated this series, 14-3, and the Terps have won six in a row and eight of the last nine.  No. 7 North Carolina (8-2, 1-0 ACC) at No. 12 Duke (9-3, 0-1), 4 p.m., ACC Network Fans may remember last year when a depleted UNC shocked No. 2-ranked Duke, 15-12. The 2025 Tar Heels aren't going to sneak up on anybody. No. 4 Syracuse (9-2) vs. No. 1 Cornell (9-1), Uniondale, N.Y., 4 p.m., Corrigan Sports Network Cornell has won four of the last five, including two consecutive. The game has gone into OT each of the last two meetings, with Cornell winning 18-17 in 2OT last year, and 16-15 in 2022. We can only hope for another one as good as those. SUNDAY No. 14 Michigan (6-5, 2-1 B1G) at No. 18 Rutgers (6-6, 2-1), noon, Big Ten Network Rutgers is 10-1 all-time against Michigan, dating back to 2012. RU lost in Ann Arbor in 2015 in the first ever meeting of the two teams as Big Ten foes. Since then, Rutgers has won nine straight, including a 6-0 all-time record at home against the Wolverines. In this week's Ovie-themed Give & Go, the guys talk about Ovechkin breaking Gretzky's record and Ovie's status in the pantheon of Washington, D.C. all-time great pros.

Sudip Bhattacharya joins us to unravel the post-Trump landscape of socialist strategy, wading through the murky waters of political transitions and internal leftist tensions. How can we nurture class consciousness and fight against anti-DEI rhetoric that threatens to strip away essential rights? Together, Sudip and I confront these urgent questions, examining the evolution of the Republican Party towards Western chauvinism and the unsettling alliance between tech oligarchs and Trump's agenda. As we navigate this complex terrain, we provide insights into the dissatisfaction among socialists with elite discourses on identity politics and misleading media narratives about the working class.Our conversation also dives into the challenges of maintaining unity within diverse organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Drawing on personal experiences in union organizing, we emphasize the importance of staying focused on core objectives like job protection and workplace diversity, even when faced with ideological divides. Sudip shares anecdotes from a DSA town hall event, offering a firsthand look at the debates surrounding strategy and the need for both domestic and international perspectives within the movement. This dialogue highlights the importance of thoughtful public discourse and effective collaboration to strengthen class unity.Finally, we explore the broader implications of American foreign policy and the potential for global solidarity in challenging U.S. hegemony. By engaging with international perspectives, we uncover the impact of American political actions on global relations and the potential shifts in alliances. From understanding the complexities of radicalization to critiquing rhetoric-driven strategies, we underscore the necessity of addressing tangible issues that people care about. Join us for a compelling episode that navigates the intricate dynamics of socialist strategy and outreach in today's volatile political climate.Sudip Bhattacharya is a former journalist and will be focused on exploring race in the United States at Rutgers University. He has written articles for CNN, the Washington City Paper, Lancaster Newspapers, The Daily Gazette, and The Jersey Journal. He also graduated from Rutgers as an undergrad and earned a Master's in Journalism from Georgetown University.  He is a member of the Red Star caucus in the DSA, and has recently written an article for From the Academy to the Streets: Notes from a Working Class Think Tank edited by Colin Jenkins (Iskra Books 2025). Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Emetophobia - an intense fear of vomiting and any thoughts or sensations associated with vomiting - is a more common struggle among anxious people than anyone might initial think.

Vandaag begint de Week van de Lentekriebels, waarin Rutgers en de GGD scholen aansporen extra aandacht te geven aan seksuele en relationele vorming. Er gaat de afgelopen jaren veel misinformatie rond over het lesmateriaal, wat vooral wordt verspreid door de ultraconservatieve stichting Civitas Christiana. Belangrijk dus om vandaag bij Vroeg! een paar hardnekkige mythes over seksuele voorlichting te bespreken en wellicht te ontkrachten. Te gast: Belle Barbé, specialist in seksuele opvoeding en oprichter van de seksualiteitsschool.

Turning a Market Gap into a Thriving Agency Pinaki's agency journey began when he and his college partners, all computer science graduates from Rutgers, found themselves jobless after the tech bubble burst in the late 90s. Recognizing the potential of the growing internet landscape, they decided to collaborate and create their own path. They identified a crucial market gap: companies excelled either at design or technology, but rarely both. This was the niche they decided to occupy. Later on, realizing most of their clients were communicators, they further niched down to serving communications teams. Their initial approach was humble, often trading services for goods rather than charging traditional fees. They worked with small startups that struggled with funding. This experience taught Pinaki and his team valuable lessons about the realities of client relationships, pricing, and the importance of setting boundaries. Through collaboration, they were able to refine their approach, ultimately leading to more significant projects and clients. This shift from small, struggling startups to larger enterprises marked a turning point in their journey. Eventually, as they gained experience and began to understand the needs of larger enterprises. They found the confidence to Increase their pricing structure, with their first big project being a $40,000 deal. At the time, that kind of money seemed wild to them! Embracing a Subscription-Product Offering to Maintain Cashflow Even after increasing their prices, Pinaki admits it took him too long to get out of day-to-day operations. After navigating an industry still in its infancy and growing his agency by doing a bit of everything, he had learned to enjoy daily operations and thrived in that work. However, hiring the right team members eventually helped him and his partners recognize they should redirect their focus toward strategic growth, with effective delegation as the key enabler. Shifting focus from operations to growth helped them realize the potential to grow existing accounts by offering subscription-based services. Clients often struggled to maintain their websites post-launch, resulting in deteriorating quality over time. Recognizing this gap, they introduced "website curation" services designed to preserve and enhance site quality as content evolved. The subscription model really helped maintain cashflow, providing steady revenue that stabilize the agency when project work fluctuated. It also helped them create stronger client relationships by setting up a new situation where they would do a lot of work for just one client instead of a lot projects for different clients that never grew beyond that. Uncomfortable Honesty is the Key to Long-Term Client Relationships While his agency team always knew the right questions to ask clients, Pinaki admits they initially fell into the "order taker" category. Today, however, 70% of their revenue comes from recurring business—a testament to their deliberate focus on building long-lasting relationships, with their longest-standing client partnership spanning approximately 20 years. For Pinaki, honesty serves as the cornerstone of these enduring client relationships. This means respectfully declining projects beyond their capabilities or tactfully pushing back on ideas they believe won't succeed, all while treating clients with genuine empathy. This approach of delivering difficult messages compassionately transforms potential setbacks into growth opportunities. When clients know they can depend on their service provider for truthfulness—even when uncomfortable—it fosters a deeper, more resilient trust over time. As he points out, there should always be a focus on moving forward when challenges arise rather than placing blame, which really helps them in being seen as trusted advisors. How to Stop Being the Bottleneck in Agency Operations Most agency owners begin their journey as creators or industry enthusiasts with specialized skills—like building websites—who eventually find themselves navigating the business side once clients start paying for their services. This transition to business ownership requires three critical steps: 1. connecting with like-minded peers, 2. gaining clarity about your agency's direction, and 3. developing the confidence to pursue that vision with conviction. Building a sustainable future typically involves creating robust systems and making strategic hires that gradually remove you as the owner from every operational decision. Eventually, this evolution results in a business that functions independently. If you're concerned about becoming a bottleneck, implement regular feedback sessions with your team. Ask them what they wish you would stop doing, continue doing, and do more of—providing invaluable insights into areas where you might be unintentionally constraining growth. While systematizing your business is crucial, this doesn't mean abandoning the aspects of agency work you genuinely enjoy. Whether it's joining client closing calls or facilitating design meetings, you can still participate in these fulfilling activities. The key distinction is creating systems that give you the choice to participate rather than requiring your involvement. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Andrew DiCecco gives his insights and observations from covering the Eagles on a daily basis. #eagles #philadelphiaeagles #flyeaglesfly #nflfreeagency #rutgersfootball #nflfreeagency #nfldraftIn this episode, Andrew reports on his observations from Rutgers Pro Day – who from the Eagles were there to watch, and which prospects stood out. Catch his notes on some Scarlet Knights invited to the Eagles' local Pro Day. 

We heard Jerry Recco on the call as Rutgers lost to USC in double OT. Rory McIlroy was asked if he's a fan of YouTube golf. The Moment of The Day: Boomer has a tough time saying ‘pre-fix' menu.

Brandon Tierney joined to discuss St. John's basketball, analyzing their Big East Tournament and NCAA Tournament prospects. C-Lo's final update included Rangers' season woes, a lengthy hockey discussion, the Knicks' dramatic win, and Jerry Recco's call of Rutgers' double-overtime loss. Rory McIlroy's views on YouTube golf were mentioned, and Boomer's pronunciation struggle with "pre-fix" became the Moment of the Day. The show concluded with talk of Pete Alonso's strong Mets lineup and a ranking of local professional sports general managers.

Hour 1 Boomer and guest host Sal Licata kicked off their show discussing the Knicks' dramatic win over Portland, highlighting Mikal Bridges' concerns about excessive playing time and a potential discrepancy with Coach Thibs' account of their conversation. Sal shared his enthusiasm for his recent move to New Jersey, contrasting it with his Long Island roots, and then fielded questions about Giants fans' opinions on Aaron Rodgers. The conversation shifted to the Giants' draft strategy and potential picks, followed by C-Lo's recap of the Knicks' buzzer-beater. A caller's critique of Sal's volume prompted a lighthearted exchange, and the hour concluded with analysis of the Jets' quarterback situation, focusing on Justin Fields' accuracy, and the Giants' ongoing pursuit of quarterbacks like Rodgers and Russell Wilson. Hour 2 Boomer and guest host Sal Licata explored Sal's adjustment to filling in, questioning Boomer's off-air friendship with Gio and debating Kevin James's Mets fandom. They discussed the Yankees' decision to avoid Trevor Bauer, with both agreeing his time had passed. Sal wondered if Boomer could excel in the modern NFL. C-Lo's update followed, prefaced by a discussion of the competitive NFC East and Boomer's hypothetical choice of Pittsburgh for Aaron Rodgers. The Knicks' win and Rodgers' delayed decision, which angered Adam Schefter, were covered, with Sal defending Rodgers' right to take his time. The hour concluded with a discussion of West Virginia's coach banning TikTok dancing, a caller's belief in Boomer's NFL dominance, and Boomer's enjoyment of avocado ice cream. Hour 3 Boomer began with a sports minute about a prolific golf ball retriever, then discussed the replanted, controversial tree at TPC Sawgrass. Sal shared his own tree-related neighbor dispute, which led to a discussion of Boomer's fence experience and similar caller stories. C-Lo's update was prefaced by Boomer's observation of Aly's parking skills, followed by Adam Schefter's commentary on Aaron Rodgers' prolonged free agency, with the Steelers, Giants, and Vikings still in contention. A surprising revelation of Sal and Al's shared romantic history added a personal touch, and the hour concluded with speculation on the impact of Aaron Rodgers potentially joining the Giants. Hour 4 Brandon Tierney joined to discuss St. John's basketball, analyzing their Big East Tournament and NCAA Tournament prospects. C-Lo's final update included Rangers' season woes, a lengthy hockey discussion, the Knicks' dramatic win, and Jerry Recco's call of Rutgers' double-overtime loss. Rory McIlroy's views on YouTube golf were mentioned, and Boomer's pronunciation struggle with "pre-fix" became the Moment of the Day. The show concluded with talk of Pete Alonso's strong Mets lineup and a ranking of local professional sports general managers.

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's Big Ten Tournament run, including the disappointing final 20 minutes of the championship game when the Trojans couldn't buy a bucket, blowing a 13-point lead in a 72-67 loss to rival UCLA while the Trojan men were also beat by the Bruins but in a much more embarrassing fashion. USC freshman guard Avery Howell then joins the show. She talks about the Trojans' difficult loss in the Big Ten Tournament championship and how she thinks the team will use the loss as they move forward toward the NCAA tournament. She chats about how she has tried to fit with the Women of Troy this season despite joining the group late in the summer after being an alternate with Team Canada. Howell also discusses her three-point shooting and the work she has put in, beginning while she was still in high school to turn that aspect from a weakness into a strength. Shotgun and Connor then look at where both Trojan teams stand, including what the latest bracketology says about the Women of Troy's chances to be a No. 1 seed. The podcasting duo also glance forward at the upcoming potential matchups for the USC men in their Big Ten Tournament appearance, which gets underway Wednesday night against Rutgers at around 5:30 p.m. PDT on Peacock.
