    No More Schiano

    Pre-Schiano - 2019, at Illinois: Illinois 38, Rutgers 10. BIG teams played us and took bets on how many points they would beat us by back then. 2024 with Schiano, Rutgers nearly beats a better Illinois team than the 2019 team, Illinois 38, Rutgers 31. By the way, Maryland beat us 48-7 that...

    The shine is off Coach Schiano

    Okay, some will not like this post. But it’s hard to sell RU, even in the B1G. RU is not a brand. It’s getting there, but it’s not a brand. Soon, maybe, but not yet. GS is trying to build a competitive program without a brand.

    Making Rutgers Stadium Atmosphere GREAT Again

    The marketing team has made the tardiness even more likely with the addition of the ‘Boardwalk’. However, as the students who have and are embracing the program age up and buy season tix, I believe we’ll see more embracing the opening game traditions every year. I love the opening game...

    Wimsatt is just not ready for prime time in any meaningful way.

    Be honest , who stayed ??

    I tried. I had really bad pain in my jaw beneath my ear. I just couldn’t hang until the end. Then again, I’m an old guy. I get a pass, right? Begging.

    NCAA BRACKET SHOW THREAD

    The B1G had 8 bids. No way the committee was going to hand us 9. Losses to Temple and Minnesota hurt us. Win those games and we’re in.

    How would you improve the Rutgers game day experience?

    Yes, the music stuff is a distraction. And cut the train whistle. We have a canon for goodness sake. I think a special platform needs to be erected for the canon.

    Ranking the B1G football uniforms via UM site

    Michigan that Jeff Goldblum in The Big Chill called the ugliest Helmets in college football? And they stole the design from Princeton.

    James Franklin loss to Rutgers=

    If Penn State was to play Pitt this year, Pitt would win. Franklin would be toast. Speaking of that, the B1G needs to go back to the 8 conference game requirement. Alabama gets to play a cupcake this time of year when the team most likely to make the college football playoff has its two...

    Tempered expectations ...is just reality

    I think the coaches should rebel against the 9 conference game requirement. If we could get a cupcake on the schedule, and Delaware was no cupcake, like the SEC does, more B1G teams would have a shot at bowl games.

    Let's get this out of the way, attendance is pathetic for KO

    The stadium got fairly full where I was. Too many old folks, though. They have a young alumni package for alumni 5 years after graduation, but that’s unrealistic. First time home buyers are getting older, in their 40’s. They need to create a young alumni tiered system. Discounts up to 15 years...

    Big 12 moving quickly Invites 4 new members

    Oklahoma and Texas will quickly find themselves sitting firmly in the middle of the SEC. bad move for them. The playoff needs to go to 12 with the top four getting a bi. Having six conferences, PAC, B1G, ACC, SEC, AAC, Big 12 , is good for college football.

    OT: Worst chant in college football.

    I’m with you on that. The DJ is obnoxious. Tone it down, dude. The band is better. And he would play some crap music when an RU chant was going to happen.

    Sarah Fans Ruminating About Us

    That’s some funny stuff. We have been living in their heads rent free all this time! The problem with Syracuse fans is that they still think they’re relevant.
