Sanders Suspended

[NJCat83588]

Rutgers have suspended their best player, Freshman Corey Sanders, for 4 games, which means he will miss the NU game. What a mess in Piscataway.

IDK...I would almost prefer he played. I like the status quo when it comes to playing Rutgers since it has resulted in such awful results on the court. I hope we don't get the football equivalent of a starting running back/QB going down and us getting torched by the different configuration.

Not in this case. They were already woefully short-handed (7 scholarship players, I believe) prior to this suspension.

There was this other nugget in the article as well:

"Rutgers' 27-game Big Ten losing streak in the longest by a conference team since Northwestern dropped 28 straight to league foes spanning three seasons 1999 to 2001."

Maybe Rutgers and IL can exchange ADs. O wait, IL does not have one and I don't remember if Rutgers does.

Does this mean that they could break it here?

Rutgers fired the woman from Louisville and hired a guy from Seton Hall, Pat Hobbs. It took Hobbs about 20 minutes to fire the football coach, Flood. Look for him to sack Eddie Jordan about 2 minutes after RU goes winless in Big 10 play.

No, they have 3 more games before coming to Evanston. Look for them to break it losing to Penn State after losing to Illinois. They also play @Minny before NU, which could be the battle of the unvictorious!

True this. I'll never forget when Duke was actually close to breaking our football losing streak record and we let a lousy Duke team beat US to ensure that didn't happen.
