Women love guys who can deliver a slice of heaven. Such guys are always in high demand. Hopefully one day you will be similarly skilled, but not going to hold my breathe. You’re too selfish to be a good lover.
Please do everyone a favor and hold your “breathe”. For a long long time.

No it’s Al getting killed and needing to change the narrative. Of course, anyone who is skilled in pleasuring women doesn’t claim they “deliver a slice of heaven”. That’s someone inexperienced talking.
It’s just so bizarre. Not the way men talk. Spent many years in locker rooms, on trading floors, golf courses, bars etc… and I can tell you conversations like this have never taken place. Men don’t talk like this.

So
you could say they've underachieved if we had talent that simply was not performing well. We don't have enought talent in the first place.
Our support has gradually increased, but it has not kept up with the increasing needs.
Where was the support to get a quality quarterback? A quality quarterback would have helped us beat UMass and BC. But because we've got two guys learning on the job, they're making mistakes, which is costing us wins. And while Schiano has made mistakes in the portal, he was constrained by a small budget, especially after having to pay Duff, Raymond, and Asamoah.

Consequently, there wasn't enough support to get quality defenders.
Defense stinks because we scrapped the bottom of the barrel for transfers.
true the minimum expectation was that Ru would be 3-2. But Anyone could see that if the transfers didn't pan out and if the line struggled to block, we would be in deep trouble. Murphys law has reared its ugly head, and it looks like very few of the transfers are going to pan out. We traded Bo Mascoe for a guy who can't make an open field tackle
So there was enough talent to potentially beat Indiana and win the rest of the remaining games, according to you, but there's not enough talent to beat UMass and BC? According to you, they lost to UMass and BC because players were playing out of position and weren't "acclimated" According to you, Surace was the next Tom Brady and the B1G wouldn't know what hit them. What happened?

Freeman, Chesney, and other bright charismatic coaches were given the support to succeed. Chesny in particular was able to turn things around quickly because he had lots of NIL support. We are currently struggling because we lack same.
UCLA just fired their AD because the department is underwater financially. Chesney is turning things around because that's what he's done everywhere he's been. He's an excellent coach.

People loved to point out that Rutgers should have been able to beat UMass and Boston College with the support it had. And that is true. But Indiana and USC are a different story, as they are in a much higher weight class, and spent a lot more money in the transfer portal.

More money brings the #1,Transfer class, with better trench play and better quarterback play. Curt Cignetti flat out stated what the difference in the programs was, in his press conference.



“It takes a certain amount of financial commitment to be successful”

IU football coach Curt Cignetti says programs like Rutgers can emulate the Hoosiers' remarkable success, provided all the right pieces are put in place. Right now Rutgers simply cannot match Indiana’s financial commitment.

We thought we would be more competitive in the trenches and at quarterback, but that flatly wasn’t the case, and that a lot of that is due to the quality of transfers:
  • Indiana brought in Josh Hoover, who previously threw for 9,629 yards at TCU, paying him $4M
  • Rutgers brought in Dylan Lonergan who is still acclimating to the Big Ten, while losing Athan Kaliakmanis to the NFL. Ultimately a big step down
  • Joe Bruner a Wisconsin transfer, took an Indiana payday, rather than enter the NFL draft
  • Rutgers brought in OL that haven’t started
  • Rutgers lost Bo Mascoe to Texas and replaced him with a DB that can’t make an open field tackle

    Ultimately Indiana brought in seasoned professionals while Rutgers brought in developmental kids, because we didn’t have budget to do otherwise. And that is the biggest difference between the two programs.

Indiana football was in the same boat as us pre-Cignetti. They had no donor support. They fired Tom Allen and were able to raise some money to support Cignetti and allow him to bring over some of his JMU players, but that funding was still relatively modest by BIG 10 standards. Then he went 10-2 in his first year and the floodgates opened. This is the model.

Then he went 10-2 in his first year and the floodgates opened. This is the model.
It’s going to take $20K from 1,000 of us to match the Indiana model. Thats what it comes down to.

This is not all correct. Cignetti negotiated the Coaching pool as well as NIL pool. Just look at the quote in the OP of this thread. Success begins with financial support. That’s why they initially beat out Rutgers for CJ West, who anchored their defensive line, and why they got quality kids for both lines. They also paid up for CJ Rourke, a 5th year senior from Ohio. The portal differences couldn’t be more stark. They’re getting experienced kids from the portal while we’re scrapping the bargain bin. Our DB can’t even make an open field tackle. Are you kidding me!!

He’s excellent because their fans ponied up. Greg Schiano was excellent when he had Ray Rice in the backfield, Devraun Thompson in the LB Corp and Jason and Devin McCourty in the secondary. Players have to have baseline talent because you’re not turning chicken 💩into chicken salad no matter how many times you say it can be done with coaching. Rutgers has to pay more for similar talent because our infrastructure stinks, and the risk for this situation is high. This is what’s called an adverse situation.

The quarterbacks have to be developed. That’s what happened. They weren’t as ready as the coaches thought they were. Ironically, with Wimsatt, we likely beat UMass and BC. Indiana also had much better linemen.

It's called coaching, the McCourtys, Thompson and many others had to be developed into the studs we remember them as. That's been the major black hole in 2.0. It's not that these guys suck, the coaching staff hasn't done the job well especially on the defensive side. Otherwise there was no need to turn over the whole group. Everyone sees it but you and the several burner accounts you're now posting from.

Right. Now, now Caliknight, we both know your ego will not let you admit that you’re awful in bed.
This is why you’re insecure and lack my confidence. There’s much you can learn from a cocksmith like me. Like you, I was once awful. But with lots of practice, experimenting, watching porn, and reading books, I got much better. I can read you like a book.

I can help you up your game, Caliknight so you can take your lady to places she’s never been before. For $1,000/hr you can make it happen. I will donate all the proceeds to Rutgers Lacrosse, so it’s win/win for both of us.

Yea no I’m not in this thread to hear your thoughts. You’re in this thread to get attention for bizarre behavior. And when a mom tells her son or daughter she’s the best. It is because she knows there is something lacking that she needs to constantly cover up. So you’ve got that going for you. I guess.
And this tracks: simple Google search for risks of telling your child he/she is the best.

The Risk to the Child: Fostering Narcissism
    • Research findings: Studies (such as research from Ohio State University and the University of Amsterdam) show that constant overpraise does not build healthy self-esteem. Instead, it tends to foster narcissism in the child. [1, 2]
    • The distinction: While a mother may not have an official clinical diagnosis just for saying this, the dynamic creates a risk of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) or inflated entitlement in the child as they grow up

The QBs not being ready is a coaching problem. It wasn't obvious that Indiana had much better linemen before you said RU would beat them?

You’re the single guy who creeps out women at tailgates. But yes keep telling all us married guys that we’re lacking. You haven’t got a clue and rely on back page escorts to tell you how much of a stud you are.

YOU said that RU's roster was good enough to beat Indiana and win the rest of the games. Now they're chicken ****? UCLA has 11 transfers from JMU. One of them is their leading rusher, I believe. A few of the others are among their best defensive players. I doubt they broke the bank for those players. UCLA has great infrastructure?

I took a look at the support staffs for Rutgers and IU. We know Cignetti is not big on all of the computer stuff that goes on while Schiano has adopted it for recruting. IU spends $20.5MM on supports whiles Rutgers spends over $30MM. Is it time to cut some of this spending and use it for portal players? I don't know, I'm just asking.
I did look up GS' approach to recruiting 1.0 vs 2.0. During the 1.0 years, recruiting centered around HS coaches GS depended on to give him some info on players around the state. While he says NJ is a major recruiting ground, that's supported by the recruting stats. Are Jersey players just not that good? I don't buy that.

The support staff will be thinned out with a new regime but that doesn’t impact NIL. NIL needs to come from businesses. The staff reduction will help offset the deficit.

I love that story you shared about the time you had to stop dating that woman because her dog couldn’t stand you.

You’re at your board best when seeking dating advice or boasting about renting a boat to drive around the waters of NYC by yourself. Also your promotion of bidet usage was unmatched during the COVID TP crisis.

Please confirm if you really blew $10k on Gavin Wimsatt? That also makes me chuckle every time.

The program has been dogshit for 50 years
The University does nothing to keep students & alumni engaged

From the time kids step on campus until long after graduation, the school continues to alienate fans and donors
Add in bad football and we've had generations of apathy and fans putting their rooting interests elsewhere

You also have an arrogant coach telling fans and reporters alike to "shoot their shot" and "get it in now" after one of the more embarrassing losses in modern times

It was all made up and purely fictional. There was never a relationship.

People who survive those relationships go into much more detail about their trauma and not just summarize it in a few bullet points.

Besides if she was real why would she need to see other men, he delivers a slice of heaven that females can’t resist. 😂
