It sucks being a Rutgers fan

[ScottRU93]

Just one disappointment after the next. It never stops.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Jeez we lost a meaningless bowl game by 3. Lighten up. Future is bright.

Grow up son

 

[fsg2_rivals]

It sucked but will be easier to get over than most close losses.

Hey, it could be worse. Could be basketball. Imagine half of the football starters being top 3 kids and we don’t even make the postseason. Yeesh.

 

[RUChoppin]

Somehow we have two defense minded coaches... and neither the football nor the basketball team can play defense.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Do we win if Kyle Monangai plays?

"Don't worry - we'll get there "
It just has to be thafe

it truly never stops.

 

[RU at the shore]

Grow up son

It’s not a matter of growing up. By my math, it’s the last 31 - 35 years of on field results that is the issue.

 

[cRURah]

Do we win if Kyle Monangai plays?

no, defense was excruciatingly bad.

 

[Mr_Twister]

no, defense was excruciatingly bad.

So was K-State’s.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

Grow up son

pointing out that Rutgers never ceases to disappoint is not whining. Its simply stating fact.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

So was K-State’s.

Not in the 4th quarter

 

[AdventureHasAName]

Do we win if Kyle Monangai plays?

Of course we do. We lost by 3 and he is was our best player.

 

[RUChoppin]

Not in the 4th quarter

AK also struggled must of the game, especially late. And our line started to fall apart

 

[Mr_Twister]

Not in the 4th quarter

Kyle would have changed that. Often his best quarter.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Kyle would have changed that. Often his best quarter.

Very possible...

Sucks to be you. Turn the page, and move on.
If you have been a fan long enough, you come to expect this and your skin gets thicker than an alligator's skin.

 

[RCBeta79]

Rutgers stopped playing the offense in the 4th quarter that built the lead.
Kansas State pass defense was vulnerable, and we forgot about it during the 4th quarter.

Many of the young players looked great today and we can all look forward to a good season in 2025.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Eh whatever. Had we won, the narrative would be “who cares, it’s another meaningless WGAF bowl win?” Since we lost, it’s apoplexy abound. We’re onto Ohio.

No, we just couldn't protect the QB. We had no answer for their pressure.

It’s disappointing but people need to stop with the self absorbed whining. The team is competitive, Kansas St was one of the favorites to win the B1G 12 this year and RU was very close to beating them. We need more speed on defense. More athletic LBs and DBs. Need some explosive DEs. Offensively, need to keep getting better up front. The skill players on offense are getting there. RU is not going to be a playoff caliber program but we can get to a major bowl in the next 3-4 years.

Chat GPT produced the following for "pictures of self-absorbed whiner"

Just hurts.

It just does.

No

The future has been "bright" for the past 2 decades. It would be nice to see some results soon.

Maybe if he played on defense.

This is part of the of the problem with our program. Fans that don’t believe we can be a playoff caliber program. You best believe we can and we will.

That's not possible to do if you want the program to have a good team. Our record is the same as last year's and our games are ugly to watch. It's not that we're losing, it's how we're losing and how we beat ourselves when we have potential to be a legitimate Big Ten threat.

A mental break from RU football is completely understandable in my book. So I'll write my own pages and turn them when I'm ready, thank you.

RU needs to first hire a playoff/championship caliber AD, one who has worked at a program that has experienced major success. From there, that AD needs to hire playoff/championship caliber head coaches.

The "future has been bright" since 2006, and nothing essentially changes from year to year as we lurk from one mediocre season to another. And 7-6 in your fifth year as a coach is nothing to write home about. The truth is that Schiano is a .500 coach, and it is unlikely that this will change at any point in the future. He is who he is.

Unless they expand the playoffs to 24 teams, we can't. Not in the NIL era.

It's a board full of emotional hemophiliacs.

Future is bright.

If I had $10 for every time I’ve seen/heard that we would afford Bryce Underwood.

So true, my son said “man that sports program is cursed” when I told him about KSU game, I said tell me something I haven’t known for 33 years.

 

[sct1111]

I'm just happy to be in a bowl game

 

[bac2therac]

This fanbase loves mediocrity. I see posts on the premium raving about tonights offense performance and the future of our young guys..what the ****

 

[Knight Shift]

Just like Navin Johnson:

I guess that is why we all love each other on this board. The misery our alma mater brings loves the company even when we are pissed off at each other.
