    Big Ten Recruiting

    Irons sharpens iron, and being in the B1G East will pay dividends in the long run for Rutgers. You have a very good, young coach who has the potential to build a legacy. Watch the national press focus on Rutgers once you start to upset a couple B1G stalwarts. The 4 and 5 stars will follow.

    Penn State should've been in playoffs

    Uh, the NCAA was beaten in court and had to reduce sanctions.

    OT: Washington Crossing Reenactment

    The crossing took place on Christmas night, not Christmas Eve. After the crossing, the army marched in two columns south into Trenton, with Washington marching along the river and General Sullivan a bit inland (Sullivan Way is still a highway in Trenton). They attacked simultaneously the...

    Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

    I'm a Nit coming in peace. I've read criticism here about Leviano, and have to believe the majority of RU fans opinion because I don't follow Rutgers closely. I just watched part of the 3rd qtr, and Leviano looks fairly good. His arm isn't as strong as some others but he looked good to me...

    We have to be realistic about our next HC

    I'm just a guest on your board, so can only offer an outside perspective. If I wanted to build a program in the Big Ten, I would want a head coach who can really recruit. One doesn't have to be a Lombardi if one has the best talent. The best game day coach in the world can only do so much...

    Is Flood allowed to travel with the team to Happy Valley?

    A program-building kind of coach would probably watch the game with a huge group of students. Those kind of parties are fun and build a fans base. Your current coach is just keeping the seat warm - barely.

    Rutgers vs. State Penn- Hoboken

    Just a visitor here but I'm having a hard time understanding the Cantina prices. Let's see...$5 for a 32 oz Corona or $12 for a 64 oz Corona? I'll have two 32 oz Coronas please. Am I missing something here?

    Rutgers will NEVER have a big time coach

    The advantage Rutgers offers an up and comer is access to NYC and representing the Big Ten. It is not a stepping stone for the right person. It's a diamond mine waiting to be opened.

    who is dumb enough to put this in an email??

    Yeah, it really is hard to believe. There must be enormous pressure on coaches to win or get out, and I am sure the temptations are all around to cut a corner or take a shortcut. The human mind has a PhD in it's ability to rationalize things.

    Rutgers will NEVER have a big time coach

    Agree 100%. But like others have said, it takes a committed athletic department. You guys know your school and program better than I ever will.

    FUN 'What could possibly happen next' thread

    I've got to tell you, stick together as a fan base. I know everyone is shell shocked for the time being, but it will get better. I guarantee. I was one of the Penn State fans who wanted Rutgers in the BT. I live in South Jersey, so it brings big football to the area. Pitt can no longer be a...
